Conocido en el mundo de la química como tetraborato de sodio, es uno de los compuestos de boro más conocidos. Hasta finales de la década de 1980, el bórax era popular como detergente sólido.
BÓRAX
Además de la limpieza, el bórax tiene usos aparentemente infinitos, como agentes antiseparación en cremas frías, componentes de soluciones tampón alcalinas, baños de pies antifúngicos, retardantes de llama, fundentes en soldadura de metales,.
Cura la candidiasis en los cascos de los caballos, limpia las cavidades cerebrales y mantiene a las polillas alejadas de los suéteres de lana.
La plastilina, en su formulación original, se elaboraba reticulando alcohol polivinílico con bórax.
The problem with modern family structure in traditional family, if both are relatively in 30s,the chance of more than 1 kid is nill, if both are relatively in 20s, the problem of <kids is avoided but now the problem is having enough compounding of savings before children college!
The previous generations avoided this by ensuring age gap of 10 to 15 years between the genders during marriage so that an even a poor man has chance at providing good education or business to next generation all be it limited than the wealthy
This is no more possible in modern times, the govt compensates by providing free education and health in developed countries

Well, after spending way too much time this weekend trying to get my MPEG-1 decoder working on the Presario 5528 from a fresh Windows 95 install, I finally was successful. Let's talk briefly about it in a 🧵 here!
So, first some background: what's the story with MPEG-1 decoders? Well, back when PCs weren't quite powerful enough to play full-motion video, hardware options like this were popular. This machine has a S3 Scenic/MX2 (86C443) chip to do just that.
For this particular system, this chip pairs with an S3 Trio64V+ (8C765) via the S3 Scenic Highway bus. That said, it's fair to say that MOST S3 Trio64V+ cards did NOT pair with a Scenic/MX2, as this MPEG-1 option chip seemed to be FAIRLY short lived.

AŞÇISI HACI DERVİŞ ATATÜRK'E NEDEN İNCİR VERMEDİ?
ATATÜRK KİTAPLARI YAZARI YAŞAR GÜRSOY YAZDI
Atatürk Sivas Kongresi’ni düzenlemeden önce dava arkadaşlarıyla birlikte para sıkıntısı içindeydi. Öylesine yokluk çekiliyordu ki; bir incirin bile hesabı tutuluyordu.
Eldeki kıt kanaat para adeta gıdım gıdım harcanıyor, hesap tutuluyordu. Atatürk o günlerde yanındaki bir aşçısı HacıDerviş Devirmiş'ten sofrada 3 kez incir istemek zorunda kaldı. Derviş BeyAtatürk'e neden incir vermedi
? İşteAtatürk’ün annesinin gönderdiği incirle ilgili anısı...
SİVAS’TA YOKLUK GÜNLERİ

Meanwhile, IDFC First Bank employees are stealing ₹590 crore from government accounts.
Nobody has gone to jail yet.
The stock crashed 18%.
Haryana Govt shut them out overnight.
Retail investors are left holding the bag.
Full breakdown 🧵👇
First, understand who IDFC First Bank is.
This is NOT a small unknown bank.
→ Founded 2018 (merger of IDFC Bank + Capital First)
→ 943+ branches across India
→ Q3 FY26 net profit → ₹503 crore (up 48% YoY)
→ Deposits growing 24% year on year
→ Rated as one of India's fastest-growing private banks
Everything looked fine from the outside.
Then one routine visit by a government official changed everything. 💀
February 18, 2026. Chandigarh. Sector 17.
A Haryana Government department official walks into IDFC First Bank.
Simple request →
"Close our account. Transfer our balance to another bank."
Happens every day. Routine paperwork.
Except -
The balance in the BANK'S system didn't match what the GOVERNMENT had on record.
Then another department came in.
Same mismatch.
Then another.
Same mismatch.
The entire branch's government accounts were WRONG. 😳

In early February, an image of a J-15T carrier based multirole aircraft flying with two YJ-15 Anti Ship Cruise Missiles (ASCM) on its air intake hardpoints in Lingshui, Hainan province.
The J-15T was conducting a training mission so the pilot could learn how to handle the aircraft while armed with heavy munitions, such as the YJ-15. More importantly, the training flight also enabled the pilot to understand the parameters for when they would launch the YJ-15.
The YJ-15 was designed to be a low-cost ASCM compared to larger hypersonic ones such as the YJ-17, YJ-19, and YJ-21 and will replace the YJ-83K and YJ-83KH. The missile is a scaled-down version of the YJ-12, which also incorporated aspects of the Kh-31 and YJ-91.
1. A few points to reiterate. ITLOS/UNCLOS has no jurisdiction to decide issues of sovereignty. The extract below is from a dispute between Mauritius and UK concerning the establishment of a Marine Protection Area around the Chagos Islands by the UK Govt.
2. Mauritius attempted to introduce issues regarding sovereignty into the proceedings and failed. Twice.
3. References to the South China Sea litigation between the Philippines and China are unhelpful as the facts and finding are different to the Chagos dispute:
a) the South China Sea arbitration concerned maritime rights, and
b) Unlike the UK's position, the tribunal found that China had no historic exclusive rights or control over the waters in question.

1/5 After watching the performance of @AGPamBondi a couple days ago at a Congressional Oversight hearing, I was left ANGRY as well as absolutely AMAZED that the Oversight Committee Chairman, Gym Jordan, ALLOWED such atrocious, unprofessional behavior from someone who was SUPPOSED
2/5 to be answering questions regarding her offices work concerning the Trumpstein Files. The ENTIRE hearing was a JOKE, as Miss Bondi was combative, unprofessional, and argumentative to ONLY the Democratic members of the committee. She was ALWAYS kind to the Republican members.
3/5 She would go off on tangents, refusing to answer the Democratic members questions, attacking them for things that had NOTHING to do with the hearing, and was meant for ONE person and ONE person only; Donald J. Trump. She couldn't even turn around and APOLOGIZE to the victims

Paraphrase from 1940 of a fragment of the Book of Hosea (8:7) by the Air marshal of the RAF Bomber Command (@RoyalAirForce), Sir Arthur „Butch” Harris (1892–1984) [1] [2] [3].

During World War II, RAF Bomber Command led by Harris, on the night of 30/31 May 1942 of commencing a series bombing raids on German cities (Operation Millennium [4] [5], and later, inter alia from July 24 to August 3, 1943 Operation Gomorrah [6] [7]).
So apparently the soldiers in Vietnam who used the first generation of infrared goggles were seeing some sort of entities all around them. Due to panic, the equipment was withdrawn and never used again.
Most reports of this anomaly came from the battlefield, especially in the most active areas. In my opinion, there is a reason for this, which I will try to explain in this thread, so be sure to read to the end.
This narrative is rejected by the 'scientific consensus,' but you will see why. (1/9) Thread 🧵
The equipment that apparently caused problems for the soldiers in Vietnam was called 'Starlight scopes.' The first-generation night vision goggles produced a reddish image, not green. This was due to the phosphor coating used on the screens.
Some prototypes had various compounds in them, including dicyanin, or Dyson dye. (2/9) 🧵
Dicyanin was mainly used in early science and industry for things like infrared photography and dyeing, but then it suddenly fell out of use.
The official story is that making dicyanin dye is tricky and potentially dangerous. It's also thought to be toxic, which makes it even less attractive to produce. But is that the real reason?
Or did the synthetic chemical compound, known for its strong absorption in the near-infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum and its ability to block certain wavelengths of light, cause the soldiers to perceive a different reality in certain situations?

🔥 Ukraine's FP-5 Flamingo cruise missile just set what could be the longest combat range ever — slamming Russia's Votkinsk ballistic missile plant over 1,400 km inside enemy territory. The facility produces Iskander, Yars, & Bulava missiles. Now it's crippled.

🔥 Satellites reveal massive damage
Fresh satellite imagery confirms the Flamingo strike tore a 30x24 meter hole straight through the roof of Votkinsk's critical workshop. Russia's strategic missile production is severely disrupted.
