@tingurangadou It is also a sign of low trust and corrupt society which instead of helping the victim chooses to loot it.

@aliusmani There is also a lab named after him at Department of Chemistry, University of Cambridge.

@aliusmani Do you remember how much cocoa was in Amul and Cadbury chocolates? Was it even listed?

[M. S. M. Saifullah @msmsaifullah]

@aliusmani These car models occasionally appear abroad via second hand exports. In the UK, they can be seen on roads. I had a secondhand Toyota Estima van about 20 years ago that was built for Japan. Superb engine condition, interiors and reliable. Outside Japan, marketed as Toyota Previa.

[M. S. M. Saifullah @msmsaifullah]

@aliusmani Not sure about other countries, Japanese are known to stick with their own industry partners due to quality and trust-related matters. For example, Japanese rarely buy foreign cars. There are certain cars models that cater only to local clients.

@AndyBTravels @JREast_official Hayabusa + Komachi services from Tokyo stop at Ueno, Omiya, Sendai, and Morioka where Komachi service splits toward Akita. Hayabusa services proceed northwards. These combined services skip Morioka and Fukushima as seen here.

@gauravsabnis The British Museum has an excellent introduction to the Rhind Mathematical Papyrus.

@gauravsabnis This reminded me of the Rhind Mathematical Papyrus from ancient Egypt. Originating around 1650 BCE and discovered in Thebes, it serves as a practical textbook used to train scribes and builders in algebra, geometry, and arithmetic to manage Egyptian society's daily logistics.

@tingurangadou Air India and other Indian airlines are not allowed to use the Pakistani airspace. It worked just about fine as long as there was no fuel crisis. Not any more. I guess this is one of perks of join American-Israeli bandwagon.

@tingurangadou Fertilizer crisis also has the component of vassalization of India’s foreign policy.

No stress. Just peace of mind.
During May Day holiday in Wuhan, tourists were spotted leaving their luggage freely at metro stations while they explored the city.
For many travelers in China, that sense of safety and trust is simply part of everyday life. #ChinaTravel #ChinaSafety #Metro

@AlokPatel Furthermore, geography of Hormuz as a narrow channel favors Iran. Good luck with setting up a closure south of Car Nicobar which is vast expanse of the Indian Ocean.

[M. S. M. Saifullah @msmsaifullah]

@AlokPatel “Amateurs talk tactics strategy, professionals study logistics". – General Omar Bradley. It highlights that strategy only works if sustained by supplies, transport, and maintenance. In Hormuz, Iranians have very short supply lines and in Car Nicobar, India does not.

[M. S. M. Saifullah @msmsaifullah]

@AlokPatel Iran has the advantage of proximity for its logistics which India clearly doesn’t. Why do you think Iranians would be stupid enough to leave their fast missile boats exposed?

[M. S. M. Saifullah @msmsaifullah]

@AlokPatel Iran has the strength of asymmetric warfare. Their fast attack boats are largely intact. And they have considerable amounts of loitering drones with a range of 2000 km that can wreak havoc. This is even after one can set aside the anti-ship missiles and mines in their possession.

@brahmmajoshi @RailMinIndia The Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) runs LHB equivalent screw-coupled passenger carriages, both single and double-decked, at 200 kph speed between Olten and Bern. Rides are very smooth and accidents are unheard of.
