US investigators solve 8-year-old double murder of Indian mother & son through DNA from suspect's laptop. Nazeer Hameed charged after years of refusing DNA samples. This case exemplifies investigative persistence & scientific rigor. 1/9
ndtv.com/world-news/201โ€ฆ
The victim, Sasikala Narra (38) from Vijayawada & her 6-year-old son Anish, were brutally murdered in New Jersey in 2017. The suspect, a colleague of the victim's husband, fled to India immediately after. But justice has a long memory. 2/9
Key breakthrough: When Hameed refused DNA samples repeatedly, US investigators obtained court order to seize his company laptop. DNA extracted from it matched blood at crime scene. Locard's principle proven again: "Every contact leaves a trace." 3/9 Source: https://nja.gov.in/Concluded_Programmes/2019-20/SE-09_2020_PPTs/4.Forensic%20evidence%20in%20civil%20and%20criminal%20trials%20&%20DNA%20Profiling.pdf

Weโ€™ve written an update on $ACMR, available at . The story has only gotten better since January, with ACMS up 50%+ in China and Chinaโ€™s semi capex growth being supercharged by the countryโ€™s own AI spending wave. 1/7kerr.co/acmr-2
$ACMR trades at a 72% discount to the value of its stake in ACMS, and at 16x โ€™26 P/E, a meagre multiple relative to the companyโ€™s massive growth opportunity. 2/7

When 9/11 happened and the Bush Administration shut down the EPA's testing of the air around the site I thought to myself "That's rotten. That is being done so that all the asbestos and the carcinogens from the burning wire insulation is not detected - to minimize the payouts."
Little did I know that the true purpose was to conceal the nano-thermite explosives that were used to demolish the 3 buildings.
Because there was molten iron visible pouring out of the South Tower before its collapse, some knowledgeable people knew that thermate, or nano-thermite
was used as the explosive. They then made sure to collect samples of dust from the site.
The dust from the rubble contained tiny iron spheroids, which is the expected result of a thermate reaction. (another is white smoke during combustion, which is visible at the end of the

1).
โ€žMost Indian refiners had skipped placing orders for Russian crude for December delivery with the US sanctions on key producers Rosneft PJSC and Lukoil PJSC. That added to curbs on Gazprom Neft PJSC and Surgutneftegas PJSC.
2).
Together, the moves dealt a blow to a trade that has flourished since Russiaโ€™s 2022 invasion of Ukraine as India became Moscowโ€™s largest seaborne crude customer.โ€

This company turned toilet tech into a status symbol.

In 1980s Japan, nobody wanted to discuss bidets.

Today? 80% of homes have oneโ€ฆ and itโ€™s a $5B industry.

Hereโ€™s how TOTO turned bathroom etiquette into luxury branding: Image
After WWII, hygiene became a national mission in Japan.

Dense cities, limited plumbing, and rising Western influence reshaped expectations:

Cleanliness = modernity.

This opened the door for a company that didnโ€™t just sell toilets โ€” it sold pride.

Enter: TOTO. Image
In 1980, TOTO introduced the Washlet โ€” a toilet seat with a built-in bidet, warm water spray, heated seat, and air dryer.

They called it:

โ€œThe worldโ€™s first electronic toilet seat.โ€

Quiet. Precise. Spotless. Image

When was the Golden Age of Danish universities?

Grok: Golden Age: roughly 1840โ€“1930 (peak ~1880โ€“1930)
x.com/i/grok/share/rโ€ฆ
"Post-1950: Very respectable [...] but far fewer figures of the absolute top international rank compared with the 1880โ€“1930 boom. Modern Danish science is strong but not disproportionately dominant as it was then."
List theories as to why this period - 1840โ€“1930 (~1880โ€“1930) - was peak.

I engage on controversial subjects, often enraging a horde of fundamentalists on a wide variety of subjects.

I don't enjoy the vile personal attacks and name calling that form a significant part of the responses. So, why do it?

Awareness of opposition.

๐Ÿงต2/8 Engagement
Every topic has a collection of passionate angry fundamentalists ready to unload on moderate opinions.

Frankly, loud is why right wing, libertarians and religious fundamentalists gain traction.

People who agree often present support weakly.

๐Ÿงต3/8 Engagement
Especially in controversial opinions where the rabid fundamentalists find opposition most productive.

Liberals and democrats present meekly, if at all. They will "like" a post, but hesitate to repost or quote repost with an extension of their own opinion.
