Interestingly, most WHOIS services fail to resolve this domain, and show alternative such as ai.com. Its like going off the marauders map :) The page informs us it is registered in Anguilla.

Although you made some excellent defense for PRC, this episode is something that Chinese would not do even remotely. If a war ever broke out, I cannot say how many will suffer - but it is for sure PLA won't absolutely have it easy. The

For a supposed economist of national repute, juxtaposing TSMC with Taiwan is facepalm meme worthy. China's interest in Taiwan predates TSMC & mobile chips. 'Semiconductor wars' are just the pretex of doing something milit

Its hilarious when selling/buying used books. I have had, on few occasions, been sent sale receipts of 1 or 2¢ on books which were re-sold. I would rather have them keep the money. It takes 40-60¢ to post that check.

I may be in the minority but harmonium always felt tonally deficient, as compared to flute, sitar, santoor, jaltarang & the likes. Every note is a bunch of tones in a tight band instead of puretone, probably due to how the airflow goes

Outside of US, seeing imperial units is pretty rare. Even UK uses metric for most purposes. If I am not wrong, US is one of those very rare countries (probably just 2?) which doesn't have measurement units codified as a binding standar
