but who let them all out?

who? who? who?

it's the photographer that's upside down. that's obviously a prime example of an Atlas cat.

the famed tell-tail sign.

yeah, it looks like there's just bed room.

it wouldnt, sure. and im not referring to those inconsistencies at all.

when it comes the dates specifically observed in the article though, as anyone who's worked with Excel will attest, date calculation errors cannot be ruled out until they are explicitly, well, ruled out.

it very much is in the realm of possibility that all other data is accurate and date errors still manifest themselves.

what are the chances that it's the default MS Excel date of 01/01/1900 in most cases?

the 942 year old guy could be a mangled date format? maybe someone whose date was to have been recorded as October 1981 and the 10 and 81 got stored as the year?

yeah I'd rule out MS Excel date errors before really buying the conclusions in thia article.

i don't see how this is going to play out in the long term, though. the right wing fervour in the country has been stoked primarily by this "mosque x temple issue", and modi's party has actually ridden this horse through the democratic process over the last three decades to "success" -- yes, make no mistake, democracy has not failed in india. the majority of voters are really that fervent in their championing of "hindutva".

but with the denouement of this chapter, they will no longer have the temple as a north star. they will no longer have this major unifying factor. this, in a way, is terrifying simply because the go-to fallback of this government to rally their voters into line is aggression towards pakistan.

with both countries pointing nuclear warheads at each other, this could have severe repercussions for the region and the world at large.

how reliable is imazing? one is wary of exposing all data on a device to an unknown third party emulator.

what steps would one need to take to avoid having such spyware installed onto their phones? and is there any way to know if such spyware is already installed on one's device?

asking for a friend.

from what one hears about the pressure of these exams, i dont think the reasons for those measures are as wholesome as assumed in this comment.

these exams are amongst the most competitive in the world and their outcome provides only a single window which dictates the rest of your life. that is not a system worth boasting about.
