simply following a given documentation to build one single thing over and again. Maybe for adults yep it's fun, but children set also having similar blocks that build into one thing? Not a fan.
We had building blocks that we could make various sorts of houses with and it was fun to think of various block placement and I cherish making different stuffs different days.
I personally think it's much less fun to have a lego technic that you can build a single stuff alone
That gap has been legally required in every U.S. public restroom since 1955. It solves four problems simultaneously.
The official name is the "open-front toilet seat." The American Standard National Plumbing Code mandated it seven decades ago. California's state plumbing code still reads: "all water closet seats, except those within dwelling units, shall be of the open front type." Install a closed seat in a commercial bathroom and you can get cited.
The primary function is contact elimination. A closed oval seat creates a continuous surface where skin presses against plastic that thousands of strangers have already sat on. Removing the front section eliminates that contact zone entirely. Fewer shared square inches, fewer bacterial transfer points between users.
Second is wiping clearance. The IAPMO, the organization that writes the plumbing codes most U.S. states adopt as law, designed the opening so women can wipe without their hand contacting the seat surface. The gap is sized for a hand to pass through cleanly.
The open front also eliminates the surface where urine pools at the front of the seat, so the next user sits on dry plastic instead of someone else's miss.
One more layer. Public restrooms use elongated bowls while home toilets are typically round. A stolen U-shaped seat from a restaurant won't fit a residential toilet. The shape mismatch makes it worthless to take home.
Seven decades of sanitation engineering in a gap most people assumed was a manufacturing shortcut.
A m-a-p s-p-a-m on palindromic place names in India!
Saw @_ansgar post a map of places in Germany whose name is a palindrome, so rehashed my old #30DayMapChallenge entry on it.
Woot! You can now simulate real world places by grounding Genie 3 experiences with Street View imagery.
Google sitting on the mother lode of real world data, and is starting to put it to work!
Let's dive into some prompts & locations I tested...
It should be Indian prime minister Modi who sparks controversy for refusing to answer media questions while abroad, not a journalist for simply asking. https://t.co/trFVTeEUZh
No sir, we have. Unfortunately, many of us were thrown out of our jobs and stopped being counted as part of India’s “press corps” precisely because we asked tough ques to the govt.
India still has some of the finest independent journalists doing real journalism and asking difficult ques .. often at the cost of being silenced in more ways than one.
More power to Helle, absolutely. But even more power to those journalists in India who have been doing this for years, under far harsher circumstances, with far more at stake.
Primeminister of India, Narendra Modi, would not take my question, I was not expecting him to.
Norway has the number one spot on the World Press Freedom Index, India is at 157th, competing with Palestine, Emirates & Cuba.
It is our job to question the powers we cooperate with.
Indeed! To conflate a Rasgulla with an Idli is not just a culinary error; it is a profound cosmological misunderstanding.
To begin with, the comparison is practically a biological impossibility. She is comparing chhena (the delicate, squeaky, pristine curd of milk) with a meticulously fermented batter of parboiled rice and black gram (urad dal). Their compositions are from entirely different kingdoms. One is an airy, spongy lattice designed to trap light sugar syrup; the other is a dense, wholesome, steamed matrix of complex carbohydrates and proteins. Their taste, consistency, structural integrity, and existential purpose share absolutely nothing in common.
But more important, her attempt to dismiss the Idli as merely a blank canvas for sugar syrup does a grave disservice to what is arguably one of the greatest engineering marvels of the culinary world.
The Idli is not a mere "bland cake." It is a masterclass in biotechnology. To achieve the perfect Idli is to balance the delicate microflora of wild fermentation over a cold night, resulting in a steamed cloud that is a triumph of gut health, lightness, and nutritional balance. It is a savoury monolith of South Indian culinary genius, perfectly engineered to absorb the sharp tang of a well-spiced sambar or the fiery depth of a molaga-podi (gunpowder) paste infused with cold-pressed sesame oil or nutritious melted ghee.
To suggest an Idli would even consent to being drowned in sugar syrup is to fundamentally misunderstand its dignity.
If this lady finds Rasgullas overrated, argue that on the merits of their sponginess or sweetness. But please, leave the noble, perfectly fermented, steamed majesty of the Idli out of your dessert-table polemics, ma'am!
Thiruvananthapuram: Keralam CM Designate VD Satheesan says, "Pinarayi Vijayan is the most senior leader in Keralam politics. We may not be able to stand together on every issue, but we should be able to unite for matters that are important to the state. I hope that will be possible. The ongoing development projects will not be changed. They are a continuation of previous governments. If one government scraps what another government introduced, how can Keralam progress? Pinarayi Vijayan has been invited to the swearing-in ceremony."
