Several centuries ago the Pope decreed that all the Jews had to convert to Catholicism or leave Italy.There was a huge outcry from the Jewish community so the Pope offered a deal.
He would hold a religious debate with the leader of the Jewish community. If the Jews won, they could stay in Italy. If the Pope won, they'd have to convert or leave.
The Jewish people met and picked an aged and wise rabbi to represent them in the debate.
However, as the rabbi spoke no Italian and the Pope spoke no Yiddish, both sides agreed that it would be a "silent" debate.
On the chosen day the Pope and rabbi sat opposite each other.
The Pope raised his hand and showed three fingers.
The rabbi looked back and raised one finger and shook it at the Pope.
Next the Pope waved his finger around his head.
The rabbi pointed to the ground where he sat.
The Pope brought out a communion wafer and a chalice of wine.
The rabbi pulled out an apple.
With that, the Pope stood up and declared himself beaten and said that the rabbi was too clever. The Jews could stay in Italy.
Later the cardinals met with the Pope and asked him what had happened.
The Pope said, "First I held up three fingers to represent the Trinity. He responded by holding up a single finger, shaking it to remind me there is still only one God common to both our beliefs.”
"Then, I waved my finger around my head to show him that God is all around us. He responded by pointing to the ground to show that God is also right here with us.”
"I pulled out the wine and wafer to show that God absolves us of all our sins. He pulled out an apple to remind me of the original sin.”
"He beat me at every move and I could not continue."
Meanwhile, the Jewish community gathered to ask the rabbi how he'd won.
"I haven't a clue," the rabbi said. "First, he told me that we had three days to get out of Italy so I shook my finger saying no.”
"Then he tells me that the whole country would be cleared of Jews and I told him that we were staying right here."
"And then what?" asked a woman.
"Who knows?" said the rabbi. "He took out his lunch so I took out mine."

Long post worth the read. I have a close friend who flies private jets. He flew Lear 60 for over 15 years and now flies a Gulfstream. This is a copy and paste of his response to me asking him if he thought Ice was the issue.
“We always fly in ridiculous cold temperatures.”
“Usually you get the bad ice when the temperatures are like 0 to negative 20. Believe it or not, there's a point where it gets too cold for ice. At negative 40, you pretty much can't get ice. Besides that, the airplane is equipped with hot wings and hot tail.”
“I flew the Lear 60 for like 15 years. It's a no joke airplane and probably the most dangerous airplane I've ever flown. It has a super critical wing. The airflow has to be perfect. When it gets into rough air and turbulence, it will easily stall. It has stalled on me at 41,000 feet just because we got into some turbulence. (On the way to Palm Beach as a matter of fact. ) we recovered and got her flying again around 30,000 ft. Scary
But here's the problem. This airplane has a terrible coffin corner. (At high altitudes) what that means is, you fly in a really narrow window where if you lose 20 knots, it stalls. And if you gain 20 knots, it goes into overspeed. The air goes supersonic over the wing and it goes into a high speed stall, or worse, a Mach tuck.
So if you stall, the normal recovery is to push the yoke forward to lower the nose and gain air speed again. At low altitude, you can push really hard and recover quickly. But in the 60... if you push hard, it will gain air speed and go into a high speed stall, it doesn't take much. It's very sensitive. The 60 has super short wings that don't make much lift. So then you high speed stall, and the computer is yelling at you... OVERSPEED! So then you pull back and enter a low speed stall. And you go back and forth trying to keep it in the air speed window.
This whole thing is pretty scary. And you should recover basically by using your finger tips using super small corrections. You can't over do it. If you try to muscle the recovery, she gets mad and will become unrecoverable. If she enters a mach tuck. You're done.”
“I taught the Lear 60 to other pilots and mentored them. I told them... this airplane has a soul and it's trying to kill you. Do not ever try to top the weather. Don't go over a thunderstorm. Go around it. If it means a half hour longer, then do it. Going over the thunderstorm will go into turbulence that you might not recover from.
These pilots went right over a thunderstorm. I think it stalled which caused them to drop down into the thunderstorm and ended up in mach tuck. They picked up so much speed that it ripped off the horizontal stabilizer. At that point... chuck Yeager can't fix it.
These same pilots did something similar a couple months ago. ATC got mad at them. They poked the bear one too many times.
This is not a beginner airplane. The Gulfstream would never do this. It has HUGE margins of error and won't stall like that. But then again... it's got HUGE wings. It's a pussy cat.
The Gulfstream is like driving a 4 wheeler. The Lear 60 is like riding a uni cycle.”

An 85-year-old retired IAS officer, MG Devasahayam, has issued a legal notice to Bengaluru Police Commissioner Seemant Kumar Singh, Banaswadi police & Karnataka DGP over alleged failure to curb nighttime noise pollution.
Citing repeated firecracker blasts & loud music after 10pm in Lingarajapuram, the notice alleges inaction despite multiple complaints since August.
It seeks strict enforcement of Supreme Court directions within three days, failing which legal proceedings may follow. @DgpKarnataka @CPBlr @BlrCityPolice
The United Nations has expressed extreme alarm as Israel implements sweeping closures & demolitions in Hebron following a deadly shooting attack on soldiers.
No condemnation off attack on soldiers by UN. Condemns retalliation.
Skewed.

1 million years from now, the Somalian tectonic plate is going to collide with the Indian tectonic plate.
That collision will create an equally high mountain range like the Himalaya on the western coast.
Imagine being the first Somalian to trek up till Pune, only to see Hinjawadi metro still not inaugurated.

Needs action by @GBAChiefComm @GBA_office please suspend the officer who is responsible. This is outrageous and can never be accepted.
#Bengaluru’s potholes have gone underground!
After a Public TV reporter sat inside a massive cavity on Kanteerava Studio Main Road (ORR) to highlight the danger, civic officials & traffic police swung into action.
The fix? Dump some debris into the “natural tunnel”.
Problem solved or buried?

A man found out his job interviewer was AI, so he let his own AI take over and walked away, leaving both AIs stuck in an endless goodbye loop.

When I meet people, I just think of myself as another human being, I don’t think about being a Buddhist, a Tibetan or the Dalai Lama, just a human being — I find it’s easier to make friends that way. And I find that a smile is a true expression of friendship.

This is, unreservedly, my favorite account of an ambassador behaving badly, from a diplomatic oral history site. I read this years ago and cannot forget it, and you won’t either. (If they made this a movie, it’d be R rated.)

The Hittites trained their chariot horses from a manual that counts the laps in Indic numbers, and its author was a Mitanni named Kikkuli.
The numbers are aika, tera, panza, satta and nava, meaning one, three, five, seven and nine, and the Mitanni kings bore Indian names such as Tushratta, “he whose chariot charges”.
Around 1380 BC (conventional chronology) one of them, Shattiwaza, swore a treaty with the Hittite king Suppiluliuma, calling Mitra, Varuna, Indra and the Nasatya twins as witnesses, the same gods the Rig Veda praises.
The rulers were descendents of migrants who left when the river dried up around 1900 BC.
For over a thousand years, the Sarasvati was the central river of the largest civilisation on earth. The Rig Veda names her seventy-two times. Of the well over 3,000 villages, towns and cities of the Indus-Sarasvati civilisation, most stood on or near the Sarasvati. Her estuary in the Rann of Kutch fed ports trading with Sumer, Arabia and East Africa.
Around 1900 BC she ran dry.
The conventional account says the cities declined, their people scattered into villages, and civilisation was later brought in from the steppe. That account leaves out the river, and it leaves out where several million people went next.
Northwest India sits where the Indian plate pushes into Asia. Earthquakes moved the rivers. The Yamuna turned east to the Ganges and the Sutlej west to the Indus, and with her tributaries gone the Sarasvati failed. At Harappa the drains were no longer cleared. At Mohenjo-daro families buried their gold under the floor and never came back for it.
Most of the people went east, to the Ganges plain, which inherited the Sarasvati’s sanctity. Others crossed to Sri Lanka. A third group went west via the trade route to the Gulf, and within a few generations rulers with Vedic names held thrones across the Near East. The Kassites ruled Babylon for over five hundred years, and their first known king was called Gandash. Around 1380 BC a Mitanni king in northern Syria swore a treaty by Mitra, Varuna and Indra.
Later Western scholars decided the river was a myth and named the civilisation after the Indus instead. Satellites have since traced her bed from the Himalayas to the sea.
Ancient texts that do not fit a biased, artificial model should be more readily believed.

Beyond belief. While I can understand the grief on the destruction in Gaza, to ignore the barbarity of what Hamas did is vile. Such people should never come to power.
To do this outside the Holocaust Museum and Gardens Shul on the third anniversary of the 7th of October is so beyond disgusting it’s insane.
