    The Trumps & Elon tweets thread (Had to make this since it's never ending)

    Oh, so that's the reason he refers to Canada as a state :) The huge trade deficit between the US & Canada. Ok, if they were a state, to have such a deficit but not if they were a different country. https://www.census.gov/foreign-trade/balance/c1220.html Don't know where he got the $200bn...

    Front loading or top loading washing machine?

    Let us know how you are finding it. Says its got Turbowash 360. Will be interested to know how well it works. Short duration but for smaller loads. Also I wonder if this is an import. Not seen this feature on locally made models as yet.

    The Trumps & Elon tweets thread (Had to make this since it's never ending)

    You are making one big ass assumption here. I don't see how the de$ process will increase pace among more countries. It's not clear to me why they would want to do that unless there is a risk of their country being sanctioned. Which applies only to a few countries. Understood I was not aware...

    Front loading or top loading washing machine?

    Bear in mind drying load is lower than than washing load. Two three times a month should be fine. A seperate dryer should be considered if you need drying more often. Washing the blanket is fine but you may be able to wash & dry only one at a time depending on its size. I guess the price has...

    Chasing Tech Sovereignty: Can India Build Its Own Tech Empire?

    How to assess that damage? Nobody is revealing the extent. Only that so and so is responsible for this or that latest intrusion. In some rare instances more comes out when it serves the purpose. Take the 2016 US elections...

    Bashar-Al-Assad possible poisoned attempt?.

    These people jump on a rumour and quickly amplify it regardless of it being true or not. By which time depending in the context the damage has been done. In this case I don't think they succeeded By Russia? Terrible idea

    The Trumps & Elon tweets thread (Had to make this since it's never ending)

    That's the part I don't get. What dedollar burden are you talking about? Can you explain that. Because afaik other than Russia and China to some extent nobody else has joined the de$ bandwagon. There's talk that more will join but the best that can be done is barter between countries which is...

    Irony is that Soros is Jewish :bored: But I thought Elon was recently more concerned about Jeff Bezos ex-wife making large donations to similar outfits as Soros.

    Chasing Tech Sovereignty: Can India Build Its Own Tech Empire?

    What metrics will you use to gauge effectiveness? For instance Israel has for well over a decade been running covert operations in Iran to cripple and setback their nuclear power ambitions. We can say Israel has setback the program by some extent but unless the sites responsible are taken out...

    Chasing Tech Sovereignty: Can India Build Its Own Tech Empire?

    Think about space and the ability to send things to the Moon and beyond to Mars. Also a native GPS which is supposed to come online one day. Not very large pool of countries in that club Who told you this? You cannot win a war anywhere without armies and tanks. Ukraine & Gaza are only the...

    Tell me where have the US lost control? I thought it was the opposite. Argentina is dollarizing. Two thirds of Israelis support Trump Two thirds if not three quarters of American jews support the democrat party. Make of that what you will :D The present antisemitism against jews is mostly...

    Yeah, my guess is unbalanced spin The Panasonic MirAI thing is India only from what I can tell with even the software being developed here.

    Front loading or top loading washing machine?

    I'm quite surprised to read this. I've never thought of running spin cycles back to back. That too 1400 spins. It makes me wonder whether the duration of the spin cycle chosen by Samsung isn't long enough. Bizarre if that was the case. I think what's happening is the machine isn't getting to...

    Chasing Tech Sovereignty: Can India Build Its Own Tech Empire?

    That's how all eastern Asian countries started Can do better always applies but if we compare where we were twenty years ago or even ten there are tangible gains. A continuous focus that spans numerous governments. This has to be a bipartisan issue.

    Bashar-Al-Assad possible poisoned attempt?.

    Because its fake news. He may have taken ill but the suggestion he was poisoned in an assassination attempt is preposterous. Who says they are? This is just western anti Russian propaganda And I really doubt the Israelis can get him in Moscow for the same reason they can't run assassination...
