Boeing is going to be the first company to feel the pain of Trump’s tariffs.

The govt of India has already put one small order on hold and the word in aviation circles is to switch to Airbus as far as possible.

Military purchases now also won’t happen.

Peter Navarro in one of his rants inadvertently leaked this out on TV: his specific issue was a demand for mandatory tech transfer and manufacturing in India.

Whenever I’ve pointed out the pathetic state of “freedom of speech” in the EU, I’ve been downvoted here.

Laughable, but “freedoms” are what the EU and NATO claim to export to the world.

I’ve heard the “you can order the odd colour online” so many times I’ve started telling the sales people “if we all did that then you wouldn’t have a job.”

I think most brands have adjusted to “showrooming,” where customers check out the fit and finish and then order online anyway, specifically for shoes. Some stores place the order for you.

The extra charge for bags is mandated by many local governments (to “reduce waste”), businesses just tack on another few pennies of profit.

It depends on the service provider.

Some used to mess with DNS. Others used to use packet inspection.

Personally I’ve not experienced any blocking, probably due to DoH.

The key factor in a high profile case is to hire the right (expensive) lawyer.

There’s one particularly notorious character whose rate card has been published online. He charges INR 1.5 million per appearance in court.

The reality is of course that then the appropriate judges will hear the case.

Rarely, if ever, will a judge recuse themselves. Strangely, this happened last week.

Poured snuff into the top of ankle length hiking boots, never had a problem with leeches.

Interesting and very old school.

Nicotine is an insecticide so I can see it repelling leeches.

With the usual pseudo scientific mumbo jumbo.

No, it is only when you try to interpret them in today's context and assumed models which are quite different from the context/models in which they were written/practiced that it seems like mumbo-jumbo. They are more of an empirical science and it is up to you to study, practice and interpret them carefully.

For example; Mel Robin was a research scientist who got interested in Hatha Yoga and in true researcher fashion set about collecting/studying research papers and trying to map them to his practice of traditional Hatha Yoga. He wrote an excellent book A Handbook for Yogasana Teachers: The Incorporation of Neuroscience, Physiology, and Anatomy into the Practice (the 1st edition was called A Physiological Handbook for Teachers of Yogasana) with a huge reference section of research papers from various journals.

Another example; the neuroscientist James Austin wrote a mammoth book Zen and the Brain: Toward an Understanding of Meditation and Consciousness where he tried to map his knowledge of neuroscience to his experiences from Zen meditation practice.

Empirical practices which have survived for centuries and across civilizations are usually "scientifically" valid and it is up to us to map them to modern scientific concepts.

There is usually a lot of mumbo-jumbo associated with the actua exercises, but the exercises stand strong on their own.

Unless I'm missing something, this seems like a legitimate scientific paper.

Vance.

I’m curious to know your views on The Ukraine.
