If I lived in Japan I would just be spending most of my income on stationery.

Ordered coloured leads. Best part they're eraseable just like the black leads. Rs 225 for 20 pcs. Mom's been told they costed me Rs 25. 🥹

A few years ago, checking airport lounge access was relatively simple. Today, with TFS, LoungeOne and HOI, the process is getting more fragmented.

Came across https://t.co/LiXplU5WH5, a useful initiative to check which lounges your credit cards are eligible for.

Bookmark it before your next flight. ✈️

Not paid, just came across this from @LoungeInsider and found it helpful during my travel.

Type the airport name and your card, it will guide you on the access

On the evening of 19 December 1798, the sky over Benares had been perfectly clear for 8 days.

Around 8 pm, a ball of fire appeared in the western sky, with a noise like thunder. Near Krakhut, a village on the north side of the Gomti, about 14 miles from the city, stones fell out of that clear sky.

The villagers did what most of us would do. Uncertain whether some deity was involved, they did not step out all night.

In the morning they found their freshly watered fields turned up, and stones buried about six inches deep, lying roughly a hundred yards apart. One stone, weighing over two pounds, had crashed through the roof of a watchman's hut and buried itself in the earthen floor.

Mr. Davis, the judge and magistrate of the district, had seen the light himself. It came through his glass window and threw shadows of the window bars onto his carpet, "as luminous as the brightest moonlight."

He sent a man to the village to investigate. The local Qazi confirmed the account under his hand and seal.

John Lloyd Williams, a Fellow of the Royal Society then in India, examined eight nearly whole stones and sent the account to London.

This mattered because Europe's scientific establishment still doubted that stones could fall from the sky at all.

The chemist Edward Howard and the Count de Bournon analysed the Benares stones next to stones from falls at Sienna and Yorkshire: the same black crust, the same grey globules inside, the same iron pyrites, the same alloy of iron and nickel.

Williams had noted there are no volcanoes on the continent of India, and no stones like these found in its earth.

Howard's 1802 paper in Philosophical Transactions concluded that stones falling to earth was now "most indisputable."

Farmers in a village near Benares, picking the evidence out of their own fields, helped end one of Europe's oldest scientific doubts.

P.S. Such stones are today called chondrites, after the tiny round globules (chondrules) visible inside them. The 1798 fall is known to science as the Benares meteorite, still carrying the city's name. Village: the paper names it Krakhut. Some later sources say that is today's Kerakat in Jaunpur district. The 1802 paper's "14 miles from Benares" and the meteorite catalogue's official coordinates (25°22'N, 82°55'E, which lands in Varanasi district) don't line up with Kerakat, which is about 22 miles out.

You’re standing on a planet with molten lava at its core. Trees are turning sunlight into air you can breathe. Your heart is beating without you asking it to. There’s a moon in the sky and bugs that glow. This whole thing is absurdly beautiful.

Double trouble -- our peer-reviewed machine learning/transient paper has also just been published. This is where we clean up the sample and see that the fewer contaminants there are, the stronger the correlation with nukes and the larger the shadow deficit. It also shows that the correlations with nukes is strongest 24 hours before a nuclear test.

Movie hits different if you actually worked in finance, especially mortgages, after all of this went down.

Rewatched it recently (for the 4th or 5th time), an absolute classic, much better than The Big Short, which I love as well.

A flight from Indian airline IndiGo got struck by lightning mid-air, causing severe damage to the plane's nose.

However, not only did they land at their destination safely, they got there 8 minutes early despite the turbulence.

@AshtoshRaval @imYadav31 Will it change anything if I have one active card and all my polled points are attached to it. I mean they shouldn't touch past polled MRs.
