India and China agree to work urgently to achieve the withdrawal of troops on their disputed border
  • each see each other as a threat. there's disputes on various territories across the 4k km himalayan border for one. both countries fought a war in the 1970s around these disputes and, by all reliable accounts, it was india that ceded territory then.

    separately, india has provided sanctuary to the current dalai lama for many, many years now and also is a refugee base for tibetans, which mr. xi and his folks don't appreciate.

    india has also banned tiktok since its inception as well as access to alibaba and other online chinese stores.

    china's relationship with indian neighbours is seen as a threat as well, be it of a strategic nature such as their belt and road initiative with pakistan, their predatory relationship over sri lanka after drowning them with easy loans, or their latest "coup" in the maldives where the long-standing india-friendly government lost out in the last elections to a party that campaigned on "india out" and who were very pally with winnie the pooh and gang.

    the geopolitical relationship is stereotypical of two neighbours who hate each other so much that each would go out of their way to torment the other.

  • According to India TV, the patient arrived at Chhatarpur District Hospital in Madhya Pradesh from Khajuraho on Saturday (20 July).

    it should be noted that khajuraho is famous for temples enshrouded in thousands of carvings of people in various erotic poses. these were contemporary to the famed kama sutra.

  • Quitters winners
  • this is so my life it's not funny. i've even quit binge-drinking without realising it.

    i can't afford 5-atar treatment anymore but i wake up every morning so much more at peace which, one can argue, is the best luxury of all.

  • Moral High Ground is Useless
  • Trump is an arse, sure, but Obama isn't made of roses and honey. this is not about his race; this is about him as an individual.

    talk to kids in Pakistan who have contracted polio because their parents distrust vaccination volunteers, and that because of the operation which disguised Osama's executioners as traveling vaccinators.

    as mr. 44 oversaw that mission, poliovirus still exists in the world today because of that man. i hope the nobel peace prize that he bought is worth the suffering those children go through every day.

  • There's just something about it
  • I like that both driver and passenger get a neat throttle control. What does it do?

    twin throttle controls are usually for different engines; it's not one set for the pilot flying and another for the pilot monitoring.

    maybe this vehicle has two engines to allow its owner to really gun it?

  • [Fitness] How and what disciplines do you abide by to stay mentally strong and physically healthy?
  • physical: do yoga, walk amongst greenery, lift weights.

    mental: play chess, solve cryptic crosswords, play all the puzzle games in simon tatham's puzzle, journal every day, meditate, practice mindfulness, eschew the news, avoid online drama, delete social media.

    i prefer hatha yoga personally (referring to the other comment on vinyasa) as holding the pose allows one to "meditate" somewhat while breathing in and out.

    adguard vpn selling user data to third-parties?

    my apologies for the long screenshot. i had purchased adguard's vpn service for five years since its primary adguard service is well know in the iapple ecosystem.

    on android, though, their app appears to send data to a lot of third-parties. has it always been this compromised? am i a fool to go for their vpn services as well?

    The Prodigal Son?

    There seems to be heavy consensus to set Son as the captain for GW5. My thoughts are to persist with Haaland. Am I missing something? Son has literally returned only in one game. Yes, TOT may have an easier fixture than MCI, but they are still finding their feet as a team, yes?

    Would it be worth it to disarmband Haaland for Son?
