Truth of @_DigitalIndia. A post office doesn't accept digital payments 😁
Oh, and the staff starts eating peanuts from 1 PM and chats while customers wait. Closing time is 2 PM.
Waiting for over 30 minutes now.

1. As % of male voters, #Trump led #Biden by the same amount in Feb 2024 as he led #Harris in Nov 2024 (about 10%). So, males didn't switch #Republican as soon as a female took over the #DemocraticParty ticket.

It's not just that Trump won. It's that Joe Rogan, Dana White and Brett Favre won. Jailed insurrectionists won. The Alitos and the Thomases won. Vladimir Putin won. Racism won. Misogyny won. Sexism won. Global warming won. Xenophobia won. Most of all: Fear Won. That's what hurts.

Sugar can either be absorbed by liver or muscles. Exercise helps.

Since 1990, 34 nations (<250m population) moved from middle to high income (EU integration/ oil).

Signals that preempt an attack,
* Overall town gets darker, enemy areas get brighter
* ⬆️ metallic reflections from cars
* Temperature> 4°, lunar illumination< 30%, no rain
But humans learn too- Iraqi insurgents burnt tyres to hamper Air Force optics, Vietnamese dug tunnels

Using #AI to predict terror attacks in violence prone areas.
High temperatures correlated with violence (because people support it in the background of other factors they can't blame).
US AI tool called #RavenSentry achieved 70% accuracy.

Repeating this➡️ insulin and BP ⬆️.
Cortisol➡️ stores fat if insulin is high, releases fat if insulin is low.
Hence, no weight loss when insulin is high, and body becomes insulin-resistant.
#Exercise ⬇️ cortisol and ⬇️ fat storage.
