Both sides are saving face, India lost some fighters more than one for sure. But no clarity, pakistan claims they downed five, BBC independently verified one, some US officials said two planes were shot down. However it's unclear if they were downed by Chinese made fighters or not, maybe they were. India confirmed that "losses are part of defense action". Couple other experts pointed it looked like crash due to air-to-air missiles (but experts are all anoynums and from western countries). The problem is there was so much disinformation in Indian media, Pakistani media and Chinese media around that time. It's next to impossible to say how the Rafale was downed, but at least downed Rafale is confirmed.

Reminds me of a time where I shortened the code for pointers in c++ at age 15, so quite old, and my teacher said it wouldn't work (we didn't have computers in that class, next class we would type the code and execute it in computer lab). Anyway I said it'd work, he said it would never work, I said well we can test it next class and teacher said we can't waste time in computer lab like that, and I said I will ask principal for extratime in computer lab after school to prove that my code works. I got sent to principals office anyway for rude and unruley behavior and not only did I get scolded for trying to embarrass my teacher, I wasn't granted extra time in the lab either. Next time in lab I managed to write the shorter code and get same results and I called teacher to show my code works, he just unplugged the cable and sent me to principals office again.

Luckily this time they called my parents and my mom unleashed hell on them threatening with talking to press and media and name and shame the teacher and principal for being stupider than a student is when they stopped harassing me.

And I quit paying attention in that class, I got bad marks for low class participation but hey I had already stopped giving fucks at that point.

Seems like standard run of the mill pastebin, nice to have other options than mozzila pastebin for better privacy. But not sure what differentiates it. Also website breaks a bit with animations on firefox/ironfox/fennec for mobile.

I had the perfect roommate, he had night shifts, he'd do 00:00 to 09:00. He would come home around 10:00 and sleep toll 18:00 and then we'd enjoy our evening together. I'd go to bed and he'd go to work. He'd been doing this for 6 years at that point and it suited him fine and he was healthy as a horse.

I think the thing that worked for him was treating even the weekends like weekday and he'd sleep through most of his Saturday/Sunday daylight.

Fossil gas is better term agreed and everyone should switch to using that over natural gas.

But calling fossils unnatural is not right, maybe extraction of fossil gas unnatural sure, but the gas itself, I don't know rubs me the wrong way.

Well modern Iran is built on persecutions. Be it Zoroastrians, Jews, Christians, Mandaeism, Ba'hai all were persecuted, even sunni and sufi muslim also persecuted.

I don't know who is downvoting you, but release fast at cost of quality definitely makes the problem worse. Because people keep buying half baked unfinished games.

I remeber reading the real sell to developers is less calculations, currently textures have to be designed for different lightening, which would require pre rendering same textures across multiple lightings. And that is time and resource intensive for developers.

Ray tracing is a simpler solution. I'm not an expert, but that seemed sensible to me.

I always heard yarrel. Or yarrey, but I don't hear l sound at the start or n sound in the middle. So neither?

I think Singapore handles it well, any residential property can only be rented for minimum of six months, less than six months and it must be registered a commercial property and be in a zone that allows commercial activity.

It doesn't ban AirBnB specifically, but it solves this problem.
