The internet service providers are saying multiple things. We have learnt it is per orders of the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting.

NEW 🧵: Is human intelligence starting to decline? Recent results from major international tests show that the average person’s capacity to process information, use reasoning and solve novel problems has been falling since around the mid 2010s. What should we make of this?

“What do you have to show for your progress”? “Trees”, they said.

I am happy for my work to be shared far and wide, regardless of attribution (although I prefer it). I'm even happier when I'm tagged, so I can read what people are saying about it.

@British_Airways Thank you. I’d also like to know if I’m required to carry any Covid-specific documentation in travel from Bangalore to Austin.

@lochan Be assured you won't have an issue as long as the name matches the one on your passport. Julie

@British_Airways The Advance Passenger Information module on your website is compressing my 3-word last name into 1 name by removing the spaces between them altogether, clearly messing with the accuracy of the information I'm providing. What to do? #urgent #help #airticket

@British_Airways I really hope I can take your word for it and that it won’t compromise my travel in any way.

@lochan Hi, Lochan. Our booking system only has a limited amount of character space for a passenger's name. It's not unusual for a double or triple name to have no spaces and it won't cause an issue when travelling. I hope this helps. Julie

And here we are undoing the damage.

If you happen to be sitting, just sit. If you are smoking a pipe, just smoke it. If you are thinking out a problem, just think. But don’t think and reflect unnecessarily, compulsively, from sheer force of nervous habit. In Zen, they call this having a leaky mind.

@LogitechG No support from you guys on Reddit. Struggling to get a new G604 to just function without G HUB crashing randomly, sometimes refusing to start and resetting assigned macros. M1 MBP on Ventura. Generic replies to support pages on your website isn't helping. #fixyourbugs

Central Banks and the economy in 2022, visualized:

We have oceans of waste. Amazon’s plastic packaging waste alone could encircle the globe 500 times: buff.ly/39H6cqB. We need to do better. Useless, buy less, waste less. #ActOnClimate #Climate #oceans

Failure is the frame, not the picture.

Circular economy is how people in the past centuries survived and thrived and had beautiful homes. Did we become too lazy or ignorant?

Everyone is afraid - even those who frighten us.

If only.
