@joybhattacharj Another factor is that batters outside the top 3 might not always have a fixed position.

Given that we've played 18 years of the tournament which means the data sets are quite robust, this stat highlights the huge difference in opportunities that the openers & No 3 batter have compared to the rest of the line up.

This week's quiz in the TOI

Hard to think of a better compliment to one's work than how almost everyone who sees the news of his passing will react by saying the same word, exactly the same way 🙏

@ramkid They want you to take a moment to think about how the remaining tiles are connected - often the connection that requires thinking out of the box.

But NYT's puzzle makers won't have any of that. They insist that you tap the four remaining tiles. Humour me, they say. (For those who haven't played the game, here's a visual aid). +

The last row in NYT's Connections is like the last piece of a jigsaw. You have solved the puzzle, but you still have to tap the four remaining tiles. +

@pratikpoddar @NexusVP @boltdotnew @gumloop Amazing - what is possible to build in 3 hours! Out of curiosity, why 24 hours for delivery? What's the rate limiting step - some queueing for ai usage limits?

Been experimenting with AI to build things—revisiting coding after years. Put this together in under three hours using @NexusVP portfolio companies @boltdotnew and @gumloop Try it out - relaxed-raindrop-54e5d5.netlify.app

@sreshthx Wasn't that the point of your tweet? To get engagement?

This tweet has reached Rohitians.

Does Rohit make the Mumbai XI on merit and form? Surely Mumbai management have the last call on selection? BCCI have only mandated them to be available to play Ranji, not necessarily start.

@sreshthx Probably not, but hard to say based on this match alone - technically he's the top scorer among the top 7 batters across both innings combined.

@rmathew4tw You mean bird, right? Using voice to text or brain snafu?

@Dr_TheHistories @cricketwallah There is a new novel James by Percival Everett, a retelling of the story from the POV of Jim.

Mark Twain and his long-time friend John T. Lewis, main inspiration for the character Jim in Huckleberry Finn, 1903. Colorized John T. Lewis was born a free man in Maryland who had migrated to upstate New York. Twain and Lewis met in 1877 after he saved the lives of Twain's sister-in-law and her daughter by courageously stopping their runaway carriage at no small risk to his own safety. Mark Twain's classic The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1884) is told from the point of view of Huck Finn, a barely literate teen who fakes his own death to escape his abusive, drunken father. He encounters a runaway slave named Jim, and the two embark on a raft journey down the Mississippi River. (Colorized Photo) #drthehistories

@madmanweb @abhijitkadle Not really. There are non-smart multi colored bulbs, for instance, amzn.in/d/5IkELCE

@abhijitkadle That would involve multiple lights with different colour temperatures and lots of switches. :) As always, it's a cost vs benefit issue. These bulbs are about 600 bucks each, which is not wildly expensive.

Have any of you used Smart LED bulbs like Philips Hue or Wiz to light up your homes? What has your experience been? Mostly trouble free or still teething issues? Working on some home improvement and considering this option.

@madmanweb Context?

Obligatory reminder that restaurants can have bad days because they're run by humans and even the best humans will mess things up once in a while. Also, all restaurant ratings are inherently arbitrary and subjective. Your "greatest pizza ever" may be somebody else's "meh".

A thread on some of the most surreal trains and beautiful train rides 1. The Mauritanian iron ore train, one of the world's longest and heaviest, spans up to 3 km, travels 704 km, and has 200-300 carriages, each weighing up to 84 tons.
