Over the last couple of years, we have seen Ukraine fighting an existential bloody war against Russia, and we are now probably seeing Israel in such a war. The sprouting of these hot wars is reason for serious concerns, especially since these are proxy wars that could spread. The question is will we see these bloody wars spread and/or pop up elsewhere. Notably, they have not yet happened between the major powers (i.e., China and the US aren’t directly involved), though we are seeing increased risk in leading indicators of wars such as exceptional increases in military budgets. To me, this set of conditions looks similar to 1936-37 and 1912-13 - i.e., on the brink of conflict spreading to many places. "On the brink" doesn’t mean "in it" or that we will certainly go into it, but it is certainly the case that, based on my indicators and my judgement about what is happening, the odds of war in the next 10 years have increased—I estimate from about 35% to about 50%. A hot war in another part of the world, like the ones in Ukraine and in Gaza, with the US playing a role like it is playing in the other two wars, would strain the US in classic ways that caused other past empires to become weakened by being over-extended, which would be another notable step toward a more global war.
@AppleSupport@Apple I made an appointment with the Genius Bar to find solution. During my 15-30 min appointment I saw 3-4 customers having the same issue. Still you didn’t hesitate to charge for replacement which shouldn’t have been sold it in the first place.
@Apple the AirPods Pro service program should apply to units manufactured after Oct 2020. I bought one manufactured after Oct 2020 and I still have this issue.
It’s been a year since purchase in my case and the AirPods doesn’t pass through your quality check for replacement.
But the ones just manufactured before 6-8months are eligible for replacement. The issue of crackling sound is still there in the AirPods Pro 1st generation
Queen Elizabeth II, the longest-reigning modern monarch in British history, has passed away at the age of 96. In her long reign, she redefined what it meant to be a monarch and navigated a tremendous amount of change within her family, country and world.
Three simple steps
1. Low Floor buses w/ space for ppl on wheelchair
2. Standardised Sidewalk heights.
3. Sensitising Drivers/conductors.
Everything else is a band-aid that won't treat the disease that is the non-inclusivity baked into our infrastructure systems.
I am a diehard #ARRahman fan but still, this is my mind voice too.
#PonniNadhi song - couldn't connect with the time period. The music is extraordinary but the voice :(
