My cat was missing for a few days about a month ago. It was really stressful. Currently, I’ve put an AirTag on her which works okay since she’s an outdoor cat but I still get paran…

First prototype is great anyway. Could be made smaller over subsequent iterations!

> I don't particularly like vscode. It's heavy and slow and janky, particularly on older laptops. I don't like being sucked back into the Microsoft ecosystem after spending years g…

No it’s not the same. One of them is an institution conceived through organisation of people, laws, traditions and customs, the existence and membership of which is a choice. The o…

Correct me if I am wrong as I am not a physicist. I see a point that is important to consider, that you have potentially overlooked. First, you assume that dissolution of salt is a…

I think the subtle difference is that alcohol not for human consumption must be denatured, and can be synthesised.

IIRC you can still buy iodine free salt, you just can’t advertise it as table salt. It has to be explicitly advertised as pickling salt or rock salt or the like. This is the case i…

My concern with some of these endavours is the opportunity cost to rescue services. Obviously, there is no question that if anyone is in danger in a remote location we should try o…

Not an expert on submarine design, but if it's comparable to aircraft, each pressurization-depressurization cycle actually increases the stress on the vessel. Just because it worke…

I think you’re right. The more I think about it the more I feel like Reddit to me is the comment section for thinks that either don’t have a comment section or have a bad comment s…

India is very much like Turkey, though perhaps no where as close to China or Russia. State governments in India are not powerful, and they never have been! The constitution of Indi…

I'm sorry, but OPs comment is not an inflammatory opinion. Congress does not stand opposed to the core founding principles of the republic.

> "We do not vote for Presidents in India. The president was selected by the ruling party" The President of India is voted by electoral college. We live in a representative democra…

I'm sorry, I don't understand why the other commenter thinks they are write and you are wrong? We live in a representative democracy. The Prime Minister is elected by proving a maj…

Sadly this is the line that the BJP and their followers have taken. Any criticism from outside India is "western propaganda". Any criticism from within India is "anti-nationalism",…

Some of us are Indian and aren't too happy about the authoritarianism...

> It's not like other parties have any morals in the first place. This is the line of thinking that has led to the BJPs success. The fact that people have been convinced that the o…

It is relevant because the PM is touting the new parliament building as ushering Indian into a new age of democracy, calling the building a temple of democracy; while dissenting vo…

The truth came out too late anyway. The fact that it's been fact checked doesn't matter. People wo want to believe in a certain agenda have already got the misinformation they need…

The sad thing is they will probably win again in 2024. The damage that 15 years of BJP has done to the social fabric of India, and the undermining of the core founding principles o…

The inauguration of the new Parliament building where: - None of the major opposition parties attended - The President and other constitutional heads were not invited - The protest…

As someone who grew up on playing AOE and AOE2, I remember people said the same thing about AOE3 when it came out. In the end I never got into it myself but then when AOE4 came out…
