We need to move beyond the age of the railway policing itself and move away from allowing Provincial Politicians to tinker with critical fire prevention funding as if it is their own slush fund to use. @MarkJCarney @CNRailway @TSBCanada @Transport_gc @stevenmackinnon
The Ontario Liberal Party criticized the Doug Ford government for underspending on emergency forest firefighting. Ontario budgeted only $150 million this year, down from $271 million last year. Meanwhile we are dealing with the worst air quality on earth. ontarioliberal.ca/devastating-foโ€ฆ
If itโ€™s hot weather it can disrupt signals for trains but we need to take public transportation seriously and modernize these vital systems.

There's a diet proven to cut visceral fat by 14%, even if you don't lose a single pound on the scale.

It's not keto. It's not carnivore. And it's definitely not about counting calories.

It's the world's easiest diet for removing visceral fat.

Here's how to do it: ๐Ÿชก Image
Visceral fat is the fat wrapped around your liver, pancreas, and intestines.

It pumps inflammatory compounds into your bloodstream 24/7.

You can't pinch it. But it's quietly destroying your health.
Too much visceral fat silently destroys your body and brain.

People in the top quartile have 10x higher odds of hypertension and 6x higher odds of diabetes.

Cardiovascular disease risk jumps 55%. Midlife belly fat predicts Alzheimer's markers 20 years before symptoms appear.

A woman had Netflix for 6 years.

She opened the app. She scrolled. She picked something after 25 minutes. She fell asleep during episode 2. She repeated this every night.

Her friend, a former Netflix UI engineer, sat on her couch one evening and opened Settings on her account. He changed 9 things in under 15 minutes.

Her homepage transformed overnight. The autoplay trailers stopped. The "continue watching" list cleaned itself up. The recommendations got sharper. The buffering on her 4K TV disappeared. The categories multiplied from 30 to 2,200.

She said "it feels like a completely different app."

He said "it is. You've been using the factory settings for 6 years. Netflix ships the version that keeps you scrolling longest, not the version that helps you find something fastest."

Here's every setting he changed ๐Ÿ‘‡
First what Netflix's default settings are actually designed to do.

Netflix makes money when you stay subscribed. You stay subscribed when you feel like there's always something to watch. The algorithm's job isn't to show you the best content. It's to show you content that keeps you engaged just enough to not cancel.

That's why the homepage feels endless but never satisfying. That's why you scroll for 20 minutes and settle for something mediocre. That's why trailers autoplay before you've even decided to look. Every default setting is tuned for engagement time, not enjoyment.

The engineer knew this because he helped build it. He spent 3 years optimizing the same recommendation engine that was now feeding his friend 45 minutes of scrolling every night.

He said the irony was simple. Netflix has 9 settings that fix every frustration users complain about. They just ship the app with all of them turned off or buried behind menus nobody opens.

Here are the 9 things he changed.
Change 1: He turned off autoplay previews.

This was the first thing he did. He opened her account on a browser, went to Account โ†’ Profile โ†’ Playback Settings, and unchecked "Autoplay previews while browsing on all devices."

That's it. One checkbox.

The blaring trailers that played every time she paused on a thumbnail for more than 2 seconds went silent. The homepage became something she could actually browse without being assaulted by sound and motion every time she stopped scrolling.

Netflix enables autoplay by default because their data shows it increases engagement. More previews watched means more time spent in the app means lower churn. The fact that it makes browsing feel chaotic and stressful doesn't matter to the algorithm. Your stress is their retention metric.

He turned it off in 4 seconds and she said the app immediately felt calmer than it had in 6 years.

When he died in 2022, at the age of 98, America lost the last living Medal of Honor recipient of World War Two.

He earned it as a 21-year-old, alone, with a flamethrower, over four hours of hell on Iwo Jima, on the very day the flag went up on Mount Suribachi.

This is the story of Woody Williams..๐Ÿงต1/7Image
๐Ÿงต 2/7

Hershel Woodrow Williams, known as Woody, was born in 1923 on a dairy farm in West Virginia, the youngest of eleven children. He weighed just three and a half pounds at birth and was not expected to live. He did, growing up hard on the farm, losing his father when he was only eleven.

When the war came, Woody tried to join the Marines. They turned him down. At around five and a half feet tall, he was told he was too short.

But Woody would not take no for an answer. He kept at it until the Marines finally accepted him in 1943. They trained him for one of the most dangerous jobs a man could be given in the Pacific. He would carry a flamethrower.
๐Ÿงต 3/7

By February 1945, Woody Williams was a 21-year-old demolition sergeant, and he was landing on Iwo Jima.

The tiny volcanic island was one of the most heavily fortified places on earth. The Japanese had honeycombed it with pillboxes, squat forts of reinforced concrete, connected by tunnels, their machine guns interlocking to cover every inch of open ground. They were so solidly built that bombs and bazookas often failed to destroy them. American tanks trying to break through bogged down helplessly in the soft black volcanic sand.

Woody's unit was being torn apart trying to advance. As he attacked, he later said, the enemy would just mow the Marines down, and they would have to fall back.

By February 23, five days into the battle, Woody later recalled that he was the only man left from his original demolition team. The others had been killed or wounded.

That was the day his commander turned to him and asked if he could do anything with his flamethrower.

Most people picture a Bitcoin payment like a bank transfer. Money leaves one account and lands in another.

That's not what happens.

Here's what actually happens, because once you understand the process, half the FUD surrounding Bitcoin disappears.
1. You hit Send. Your wallet broadcasts a signed message to the Bitcoin network saying, "These specific coins now belong to this address." The message is signed with your private key, which never leaves your device. No one ever sees the key. They only see a cryptographic signature proving you control it.
2. The transaction lands in the mempool, a waiting room maintained by every node. It's not confirmed yet. It's simply a pending transaction, visible to anyone, valid, but not yet written into Bitcoin's permanent history.

Byju's deducted โ‚น1.49 crore TDS from Ajay's salary.

But never deposited it with the Tax Dept. It happened with 23,621 employees.

Tax Dept sent Ajay a demand notice. But ITAT saved him.

Here's how to file your ITR if the same is happening with you ๐Ÿงต๐Ÿ‘‡
[1] Sound familiar?

๐Ÿ”ธ Salary slip shows TDS deducted, Form 26AS shows zero deposit

๐Ÿ”ธ CPC denies credit and sends demand notice

This is what happened to 23,621 Byju's employees, including Ajay.
[2] What the law actually says

The law is on your side.

Section 205 of the Income Tax Act: Once tax is deducted from your salary, you 'shall not be called upon to pay it again'.

The liability shifts entirely to the employer.

You cannot be punished for their default.

1) The future of the Senate is not bright at all.

2) The Founders wanted the Senate to slow things down, to dampen "passions" as they called them. They never anticipated that a bunch of geriatric, evil, thoroughly weaponized slothmagnets would stop everything.
3) It's easy to think, "Oh, this will pass with another election or two." I say nay nay.

4) Again, the STRUCTURE of the Senate is that to get a working majority of about 60 GOP would require such as massive landslide that even places like MN and CO would buckle.
5) I don't see that. But it is apparent they are running out of tricks.

6) They can no longer hold a straight up majority vote on anything. Even with the fungus muscles like MurCowSki and Collins and the other squishes, we can't even get to J.D. Vance tie-breaking territory.

Sonam Wangchuk Files (Thread)

Sonam Wangchuk is neither a scientist, nor educationalist, nor inspiration behind 3 Idiots. All of it is carefully crafted propaganda.

TESTOSTERONE SUPPLEMENTATION DRASTICALLY LOWERS SPERM COUNTS
Men who want more children should not do it.

Numerous studies find that exogenous testosterone sharply reduces testosterone production within the testes, effectively shutting down sperm production. ๐Ÿงต.Image
Image
Image
Image
A World Health Organization study found that among 271 healthy and fertile men, a large majority became azoospermic (a condition where a man's semen has no measurable sperm) with testosterone injection.

There was just one pregnancy in 1486 cumulative months of study. 2/6 Image
A literature review published 2013 explained the mechanism:

"Exogenous administration of testosterone results in negative feedback leading to inhibition of FSH and LH production. As a result, intratesticular testosterone levels (ITT) decrease." 3/6 Image

One of Ukraineโ€™s most respected generals, Mykhailo Drapatyi, whom many Ukrainians have wanted to see replace General Syrskyi:

Over the past 6 months, the Armed Forces gained a true partner in the Defense Ministry. 1/13 Image
The Army needs change, but without justice, no reform will have meaning for the people who carry this war on their shoulders every single day. 2/13
With the arrival of the new team at the Ministry of Defense, there was a genuine attempt to change the rules by which the military system had operated for years. 3/13
