The McMahon line does make sense as a de-facto border, and I wouldn't be surprised if it is eventually officially recognized by both countries. But the Simla Convention that established it was one of those Unequal Treaties, signed by the British Raj and the Republic of China - both very notably not the current governments of the two countries in question. The question is unsettled enough that they fought a war over the issue.

You might think that it's just mountainous frontier, who cares. But the Brahmaputra River runs most of it's course through China, and is heavily dammed for hydropower. It also provides most of the water for Northeast India, so you can imagine what sort of water rights disputes that leads to. So it's not quite as simple as "they just need to sit down and get it all sorted out".

Those who make brunch impossible make violent revolution inevitable

I like analogue clocks because I have a very visual and geometric thought process, and the radial slices of time make a lot of sense to me. In particular, I find it more intuitive to estimate time intervals that cross the hour mark.

I prefer digital wristwatches, though. They're more instantly readable in direct sunlight or low light.

It reminds me of the Michael Brook's reverse Sam Harris impression @30min in this video:

When this war ends, or settles into a frozen conflict, there is going to be a massive number of Ukranian mercenaries flooding conflict zones around the world.

The entire length of the fiber would have to be dragged along with the drone if you did it that way. With the spool on the drone, the unspooled fiber falls to the ground and is stationary.

If I didn't want to get assassinated in public, I would simply not spend my entire professional career stoking an atmosphere of political violence and making it widely known that I'm a vicious and evil asshole who wants the worst for everyone.

Sun was removed from his position in 2022 after being investigated for his ties to China, a source told the Post on condition of anonymity.

Details of the investigations remain unclear, but MD Anderson was among the first institutions to dismiss China-born researchers after warnings from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), one of their major funders, about potential theft of US scientific research.

I don't know what's more sick:

• treating medical science like it's stealth bomber blueprints
• treating medical science like it's something to be owned and leveraged

For years now I've wondered why health insurance companies haven't been the regular target of violence by clients who's lives they've destroyed. They're unique institutions because of how they regularly condemn people to death right to their faces for the most bullshit unjust kafkaesque reasons. I guess maybe a situation like that just sucks the life out of you too much to get motivated by revenge.

Vote for me, and we can bring order to the galaxy

(Even Darth Vader promised to end the war, lol)
