@NatHalberstadt This is what you need - amazon.com/Brother-HL-L24…

I really need a printer that has zero screen, wifi, or bluetooth connection. I just want to be able to plug a usb cord printer --> computer Hit print, and have it actually work every time

@Ajain112 Talk to the procurement manager. Declare force majeure and tell them that your raw material prices have gone up % and that you need to increase the price .

Imagine this. You are an activewear manufacturer and you took an order from big daddy for performance wear. You closed the deal. Accepted PO. War happens and before you could buy polyester yarn, war happens and raw materials are 40 percent up. You will take a loss if you make the order on current rates. If you don’t deliver the order and cancel this, you are not getting future orders and your current payments of old let orders may be adjusted as “loss of business” due to your cancellation of the order or they may just call it a penalty. Basically, u r screwed, whatever you do. You are not getting anymore orders,cos everyone is waiting for pieces to go down. So you go out of work. You are still paying some good employees and bank is still asking for interest, but you din have a way out, till the war stops.

@Jordan_W_Taylor @lennylaw @mpwarwick @Drachinifel My uneducated guess is that the outer props are driven with much less power.

@lennylaw @mpwarwick @Drachinifel My guess would be to prevent elastic resonance effects from the vortex shedding of the front prop hitting the rear prop. That's just guesswork though! I'd be interested to see what it actually is.

Five blades on the inner prop, four on the outer. Wonder why? This is where you ask @mpwarwick, @Drachinifel and @Jordan_W_Taylor because in the unlikely event that they don’t know the answer, they’ll know who will.

@Ajain112 Something similar to the $2000 rule that ritz carlton has , would work well for this person. Hire an high agency person and give them the freedom to fix things as they see fit. Examples - top 10 customer needs a dress urgently. Ship then the dress over night.

@parim noted makes sense.

Thinking of recruiting a VIP customer care person whose number only top 1000 customers have. What do you think?

@Super_Chennai_ This is such a bad idea. It will turn into a parking lot of trucks entering into the port. Like how the service lane of the Ennore expressway is today.

Chennai Port-Maduravoyal Elevated Corridor to be completed by November 2027, no toll for city motorists: -First deck of the expressway will be for local traffic and toll-free -Second deck meant for commercial vehicles bound for Port, which will have to pay toll #SuperChennai

@lonestar1007 @sailaks11 @cmrlofficial The missing platform infra at Tondiarpet metro. This is the south end of the platform

@parim @sailaks11 @cmrlofficial oh it wont be an issue, they can quickly install psds

Chennai needs 6 car metro trains ASAP @cmrlofficial

@TheMinuend What’s the feed stock?

CSIR-NCL has scaled DME production to a pilot-output of 250 kg/day, up from previous 24 kg/day PoC in 2020. An indigenous catalyst enables methanol-to-DME conversion at ~10 bar — crucial to allow direct filling into existing LPG cylinder/infra; supporting upto 20% DME–LPG blending. CSIR-NCL aims for a 2.5 TPD demo plant within <9 months, with future ~500 TPD commercial plants. India is heavily import-dependent on Methanol & current domestic output is insufficient to support meaningful DME output. (~1,200 TPD DME needed to meaningfully substitute LPG) ~₹40,000 cr in planned methanol capacity expansion efforts; if project timelines hold, feedstock for scaled DME could be managed <5 years. NTPC is eying 10 MMTPA SNG from FY27 via gasification. National target is 100 MT coal-gas by 2030 (NCGM/CIL efforts), exceeding 20 MMTPA soon, with pilots like IIT D-Thermax's 6 TPD coal-to-1 TPD methanol validating tech. The sudden announcement feels reactive, but a notable progress regardless. Bottomline: without Methanol capacity, this is fluff.

@delhitrees Ahh ok, Will try making this :) Thank you for your response.

@parim I asked some others buying it. They said it goes well with potatos, dry with no gravy!

Sunday Sadar Bazaar felt quieter today. A lot of women who come with their baskets of greens were missing, busy with the wheat harvest. Still, the market held its small seasonal delights- especially the tender drumstick pods & purslane, the succulent leaves better known as Kulfa.

@SolidBoosters2 @isro Check out this presentation I found - epfl.ch/labs/lastro/wp… Spectratime supplies/supplied clocks for basically every GNSS system except for GPS.

@parim @isro No there are some american supplier also but If you are building a system specifically to be independent of the U.S. GPS it makes little strategic sense to buy the heart of that system from a U.S. suppliers.

#NavIC’s clock issues weren't an @isro engineering lapse, but a global supply chain crisis the same Swiss-made clocks crippled 🇪🇺 Galileo. But while the hardware failure was imported, the institutional response was a domestic failure. ​Read more here: indianspaceflight.in/latest/the-nav…

@SolidBoosters2 @isro Ahh, makes sense :(

@SomChaterji None of the large German evs are selling.

Painful to see Porsche like this. Macan EV isn't selling. Taycan isn't selling. No one wants electric Porsches it seems!

@Fintech03 All of this is assuming that the copper is lead free. Unfortunately most of the cheap copper in our county is contaminated with lead

Copper water/Tamra Jal, is 1 of the few ancient practices that has transitioned from tradition to verified biotech. While the basic antimicrobial effects are well-known, recent research have uncovered much more specifics. According to the BIS (IS 10500:2012) standards, which remain the benchmark for drinking water in India, & for potable containers (IS 17803:2022), acceptable Limit for copper is 0.05 mg/L. (This is the ideal sweet spot where we get health benefits w/o over-accumulation). Permissible Limit is up to 1.5 mg/L (This is the upper safety ceiling). Studies (e.g., Applied Water Science) show that even after 168 hrs (7 days) of storage in a pure copper vessel, the concentration typically reaches around 0.813 mg/L. This means even forgotten water in a copper bottle for a few days is generally safe, provided the bottle is clean.

@titoraja @UpdatesChennai Ahh ok, thank you for clarifying

@parim @UpdatesChennai Not under MTC. One double decker was donated to Tourism dept by NRI tamils, you must have seen that. Tourism dept has also placed an order for another one, to be delivered soon. This is a separate tender for MTC meant for regular passenger services.

MTC has decided to go back on its decision and will now have only AC Double Decker Buses and not the open type buses (4 Nos.) They will be based out of Central Depot... #Chennai #MTC 🚌

@aparanjape Can you talk about how ethanol from sugarcane needs urea and there fore natural gas?

Understanding the key 'natural gas' connection with fertilizers... from natural gas to ammonia to urea. 'Why LNG Matters for Urea Production: Understanding the Energy Foundation of Nitrogen Fertilizers' global-agriculture.com/crop-nutrition… "Nitrogen fertilizers remain the backbone of global agricultural productivity, and among them urea is the most widely used nitrogen fertilizer in the world. With a nitrogen content of about 46 percent, urea provides one of the most efficient ways to supply nitrogen to crops such as wheat, rice, maize, and many horticultural crops."

@aparanjape I think 48% is on the low side.

The 'Haber Bosch Process' for synthesizing ammonia - considered to be one of the most important inventions of the 20th century! "...responsible for feeding approximately half the world’s population, with nearly 48% of people globally depending on crops grown with synthetic nitrogen fertilisers."

@sdhrthmp do we know if NVS-01 use an improved clock or is the same clock that fails?

My Analysis of India's NAVIC satellite failures and how India has lost (desi-GPS) sovereign Position, Navigation, Timing capability, which was developed after GPS-denial in Kargil war... 27yrs after Kargil, we are still stuck in 1999...
