You’re right, and I’m sorry for the immediate reaction without further research, I can only hope my edited comment sheds more light on the issue

Except this comment seems to leave out that mandatory science education stops in India at 10th grade, so the periodic table and evolution will not be taught to Indian students unless they pursue higher grades of education.

Edit: It appears all of this is also moot, since a comment below pointed out that these things have been added back into the curriculum:

The Register has been referring to Google as The Chocolate Factory for almost 10 years. As to why, probably because of google’s confectionary named Android releases, which they stopped at Android 10

How many dudes who have paid Andrew Tate money will vote for Kamala you think?

I would argue that “men don’t bond” if they were raised on the alpha male bullshit you escaped from on the internet. I met my best friend in high school, we went to college together, and then he moved across the country over 10 years ago. We’re both in our early thirties now. But we chat still nearly every weekend, talk about life, boost each other’s spirits, chat politics, hopes, dreams, regrets, give each other advice based on our individual experiences. We never were part of the “kick each other in the balls = friendship” crowd, and while it’s certainly there, I think that saying generally men all feel that way is a bit disingenuous

Definitely. I don’t know where the quote came from, but it always sits in the back of my head: “you’re always two steps away from losing all your stability.” No matter your lot in life, you’ve probably built a routine. That routine can always be destroyed by something in a flash.

We just don’t have to listen to the hype about it anymore.

True, it’s now in most circles just been mixed in as a commodity to trade on. Though I wish everyone would get that. There’s still plenty of idiots with .eth usernames who think there’s some new boon to be made. The only “apps” built on crypto networks were and are purely for trading crypto, I’ve never seen any real tangible benefit to society come out of it. It’s still used plenty for money laundering, but regulators are (slowly) catching up. And it’s still by far the easiest way to demonstrate what happens to unregulated markets.

Transformer, when it explodes, avert your eyes!

(Seriously though, the arc flash of a failing transformer can cause blindness)

lol this is literally the same conversation happening elsewhere on the internet about Diddy. There’s a video of him abusing someone. “Stop speculating, we don’t know the whole story.” Speculation is claiming there’s anything beyond a video of him abusing someone. It’s wild how much people love their celebrities to the point of abandoning all logic to defend them.

It sounds like in this transaction they are purely a hardware provider, they shipped the bespoke hardware to Twitter based on twitters order, musk took over, and is now refusing to pay them because he doesn’t want whatever the hardware is after having gutted Twitter, and they haven’t been paid
