Population reduction will cause a lot of interim pain but might be what we need to increase the sustainability of the planet. In next 70 years, we might see a drastic reduction in populations of china and India as well. The lower human population will hopefully allow the planet to recover from the last 100 years uncontrolled resource extraction.

Yes. Rayalseema restaurants would be bio terrorism in the west 😂. Even most Indians can't tolerate the piquency of that food.

I wonder if anyone's image has crashed from such highs to such pathetic lows. At the end of the day, it was all PR but he still had the admiration of many people just a few years back i.e before the Thai submarine fiasco. Now most people consider him a petulant child man with a massive fortune. The only good outcome of this fall has been a clear understanding that earning wealth is purely based on luck. It doesnt matter if it is millions or billions ,nothing comes due to our own genius. It is a combination of factors that result in wealth but it is mostly determined at your birth. May be this episode will humble others who might have taken a similar path due to their inexplicable wealth.

I doubt these trucks can be driven around in European or Asian roads. They seem so humongous. Even cargo vehicles which transport goods across the city are much smaller than these in India. Why are trucks so popular in the US? Does everyone haul things often? Are cargo trucks not rentable?

It's quite costly to go srilanka today from Tamilnadu in South of India. Because only flights are available and they cost more than 100USD which is unaffordable for many in India. However if a land bridge exists, folks already on religious tourism trip in South India can go to srilanka for cheap. This should boost both Srilankan tourism and also Indian trade to Sri Lanka as freight will become cheaper as well.

I think lemmy just blew up overnight.So we have become a target for folks who might have never known we existed prior.Sooner or later, the project needs to attract some pen testers to keep ahead. Luckily the hijackers were not very malicious this time. But could get worse as we grow. We are all in for a bumpy ride and it feels weirdly refreshing.

Dude is the richest person in the world. Penny pinching and denying his former employees their due when he rapidly raises his wealth is outright evil. Well, I guess there is a reason why no good human ever accumulates hundreds of billion dollars. If you are good, your conscience will force you to use your wealth to make other's lives better and you will lose your big B tag.

Is this guy the seller? Or have companies started paying people to post direct ads instaed of subtle messages.

I think there are some fruits which have been around in different varieties. In India, we have so many varieties of bananas, some of which are less sweet. Then there are also seasonal fruits like JackFruit, Mangos , Papaya which are all quite sweet and are mostly in their natural form. Again there are so may varieties that we can pick the one most suited to our taste :). That said, such sweet fruits are still bad in large amounts.

There are so many artificial sweetners in the market now.Even purely natural onea like stevia powders have maltitol added to it. It might be better to give up sweet things completely may be with the exception of fruits for better health.

Seems like very little but single use plastic packaging is so horrible to the environment and it so low in the totem pole of priorities, it reflects the complete lack of concern for the environment by the government world over. Happy that something like this is done atleast now. Wish there was a global ban on single use plastics like chemical weapons because if we think about it, single use plastic is a slow killing chemical weapon.
