@PoisonOfChoice Well anyway the appeal is to spare the students not the "students". 😁

This news never made it in India. India's ISRO developed (partly) and launched NASA-ISRO NISAR satellite found something very interesting in Antarctica 6 days ago.

I'm not getting into the details of what was discovered. The point of this post is something more important:

@isro has 8M followers. It's account is dormant since July 18th. Isn't this a huge waste of information space?

> If we are so poor in our own narrative,
> If even orgs like ISRO can't run an active social media (which many youngsters will do for free if given an internship),
> If GoI isn't pushing India's achievements to reach the Gen-Z continuously,
> If Indian media only cover the issues in India, not elsewhere, and not the good stuff happening,

Then this information and communication gap is captured by adversaries and hostile actors, using our issues like they don't happen elsewhere, to program our own young against the govt, our institutions like ISRO, and our entire country.

Because these young people do not have a past barometer to judge events. They have never seen or experienced India's past. They do not have much understanding of the world.

They simply believe India is the worst place if told like that pointing to issues that happen, easily believe everything bad only happens in India, and whatever bad happens is only because of the Govt.

This is why they are being used for regime change by the DS world over nowadays easily manipulating them using Meta platforms, Reddit, and Telegram.

And a country like India is letting them get used by creating an information and communication vacuum which can be filled by adversaries.

What I am saying is whatever communication from top levels, information on reforms, and narrative about a minister's achievements that came now, after things got bad, could have come before and on a continuous basis.

Interesting design for the new @UIDAI app, good security features. If someone tries to unlock it, it denies saying biometric lock needs to be removed. If one then tries to remove biometric lock, it objects saying aadhar is locked. Very secure, noone can break it open.

@BoyanSlat Let's go! ✌🏻

Not sure what it was but it was a terrible situation with some strange particulate matter in the air at the Indiranagar metro station entry gates and escalator making literally everybody sneezing and coughing. @WF_Watcher @OfficialBMRCL

@rathor7_ Well Bangalore has its own rules. The restaurants add a "service charge" by default (which the GST is charged over as well) and unless you ask them to remove it they silently keep pocketing the money.

@prakdadlani @InderanKannan Amazing! I personally fiddled with this idea a while ago, especially inspired by @McMasterDaily and their beautiful website.

[Deep @83ingD33p]

@botrefundcom @Rainmaker1973 Exactly! Or even if say the Sun relative to a supposed flat Earth moves in a certain direction it'd still show the same trajectory.

[Deep @83ingD33p]

@Rainmaker1973 This really doesn't.

[Deep @83ingD33p]

@LifeAfterFI Absolutely strange stuff keeps coming from MEA and HM on identity/citizenship documents

[Deep @83ingD33p]

@gharkekalesh Does this reduce his equality points more?

[Deep @83ingD33p]

It's a shame that after decades of existence and supposed patchwork improvements, IRCTC still can't handle the Tatkal booking traffic. Incredibly loser system. If there's a huge demand either meet it with more trains or increase cost. Insanely frustrating.

@Rainmaker1973 Poor example of the hypothesis

[Deep @83ingD33p]

@dmuthuk How is the continuous tracking effected? Will the banks still be using CIBIL and no indigenous alternatives? Are these credit rating agencies audited?

[Deep @83ingD33p]

@Krishna300998 @dhruv_rathee That's not his PM.

[Deep @83ingD33p]

@aakizfarooq Well, have you accounted for the optical properties and the angles? Sounds unnecessarily dramatic otherwise..

[Deep @83ingD33p]

@Rainmaker1973 I LOL every time someone says "heat wave in the UK".

@maahirpanchal WTF, who's this Rajkot manufacturer? Please connect me with him.
