Starship reached orbit… so why did SpaceX end the mission early? One Raptor shut down during ascent — yet Ship 41 still reached orbit. The real story is what happened next.

50 years of studies couldn't explain why widening a pipe past a small angle made it work worse. Between 1900 and about 1950, engineers measured it again and again. A diffuser is just a passage that spreads out, slowing the flow and raising the pressure. Open the angle a little, and the pressure rise grows. Open it more, and it drops. Everyone had the numbers. Nobody had the picture. So a team stopped calculating and started looking. The tool was a wire 2 mils thick, stretched across a water channel. Run a DC current through it and electrolysis strips hydrogen out of the water. Tiny bubbles peel off and ride the flow. Small enough to follow it almost exactly. Insulate parts of the wire, and the bubbles come off in bands. Pulse it, and they come off as squares. Those squares turned out to be the key. In a flat, 2-dimensional flow of water, each square keeps the same area forever. So when a square stretches long, the water there is fast. When it squeezes short and wide, the water is slow. The flow draws its own speed map. Put an airfoil in the channel at 0 lift, and a line of bubbles splits around it and meets again at the back. Same speed above and below. Tilt it for lift, and the top half of the line pulls ahead of the bottom half. Then the film shows why this work is harder than it looks. There are 4 different lines you can draw in a flow. The path of 1 drop. The trail of every drop that passed 1 point. A line of drops marked at the same instant. And the streamline, the line the math uses, which no dye or bubble can ever show directly. In steady flow, 3 of them are the same line. You see 1, you know the other. Swap the steady flow for a plate swinging back and forth, and they split apart. Two drops enter at the exact same point, a moment apart. Their paths cross almost at right angles. One goes around the top of the plate. The other goes around the bottom. None of the bubble trails match either path. Neither matches the streamline. The water looks like it's telling you something. It's telling you something else. For 50 years, the diffuser problem lived in exactly that gap. The math came later. First, someone had to see the water.

Hospital CEO says the reason IV fluid bag is 2800% margin, is because of storage costs, administration costs, disposal costs. I thought all those charges would be overheads that get included in the pricing of the surgery or room charges. Basic costing fundamentals? The key word is "t r a n s p a r e n c y" Better transparency would be to charge for each line item separately - this 2800% margin just is such a put off. Reminded me of restaurants that charge Rs. 150 for a 500ml bottle of Thums up, as "refrigeration" costs. Also - the argument that finally our profits are 8-10% do not really go well - be transparent about each charge and you will still be at 8-10% profitability. So why not be transparent?

Elon Musk you fucking genius 🫡 Shoutout to the entire SpaceX team 💯 That’s a 17 floor building dispersing satellites the size of a school bus in space btw. (The satellites open up to the size of an airplane) We are living in the craziest of times $SPCX @elonmusk

बेहतर और ईमानदार व्यवस्था के लिए प्रयास , भ्रष्टाचारियों के गैंग ने नौकरी से निकाला । वीडियो देखिए हमने नवनियुक्त निरीक्षकों को केवल भ्रष्टाचार से दूर रहने, बेहतर पब्लिक सेवा के लिए प्रोत्साहित करने और IRS द्वारा आंतरिक सामंती व्यवस्था जो भ्रष्टाचार और टैक्सपेयर के पैसों से मौज के लिए ही बनाई गई है , उसको बदलने के लिए संगठित होने की माँग की और इसीलिए प्रोग्राम आयोजित किया कि वो विभाग के संस्थागत भ्रष्टाचार सिस्टम में ना शामिल हो । @cbic_india @FinMinIndia @PMOIndia हमने संगठन के माध्यम से नौकरशाही सुधार के लिए एवं भ्रष्टाचार और आंतरिक सामंतवादी व्यवस्था के ख़िलाफ़ बहुत लड़ाई और प्रयास किया। आंतरिक सामंती व्यवस्था जिसमें IRS ने एक गैंग बना रखा है, जिससे वो अपने यूपीएससी निकालने की क़ीमत वसूल सके, राज कर सके , विभाग को पूरा निचोड़ सके अपने गैंग के लिए, भ्रष्टाचार को संरक्षित, पोषित और उसपर फल फूल सकें, अनाप शनाप अवैध सुविधाएं, बिना कार्य के ढेर सारे अजीब डेजिगनेशन के प्रोन्नति पद, और अपना विजिलेंस और जांच ख़ुद अपने हाथ में जिससे गैंग को पूरी इम्युनिटी और भ्रष्टाचार में जवाबदेह होने से सुरक्षा की गारंटी मिले । अधीनस्थ कैडर के लोगो को गैंग बना कर अपने लिए टूल और भ्रष्टाचार के हाथ के लिए इस्तेमाल कर सके । कमाई वाली पोस्टिंग का लालच , ट्रांसफर और जबरदस्ती का विजिलेंस चार्ज शीट से डरा धमका के राज कर सके: एक तरह हमारा संगठन बेहतर वास्तविक लोक सेवा, भ्रष्टाचार के ख़िलाफ़, नए निरीक्षकों को मोटीवेट करने के लिए प्रोग्राम करता है । दूसरी तरफ़ IRS कैडर के संगठित भ्रष्टाचारी , भ्रष्ट तंत्र में फल फूल रहे है और इसमें कोई बदलाव नहीं चाहते , उन्होंने मुझे नौकरी से निकाल दिया , क्योंकि मैं उनके द्वारा संरक्षित भ्रष्टाचारी तंत्र की पोल खोल रहा था और पारदर्शिता और जवाबदेही वाली वास्तविक लोक सेवा के लिए प्रयास कर रहा था । भ्रष्टाचारी विभाग में रहता है और मौज करता है , ऐसे तंत्र केवल भ्रष्टाचार करने के लिए होता है , जहाँ सिलेक्शन हो जाने पर केवल कैसे और कितना कमाए यही लोक सेवा है । @khurpenchh @VivekGa54515036 @narendramodi @RahulGandhi @SuparnaSharma

🦠 SEPSIS RECOGNITION OUTSIDE ICU 2026: SEPSIS CAN BEGIN ANYWHERE—RECOGNISE IT BEFORE SHOCK! ———————————————— #Sepsis is not an ICU-only problem. It can begin in the home, emergency department, ward, clinic, nursing facility or ambulance—and deterioration can be rapid. The key is recognising #nfection plus new organ dysfunction before irreversible shock develops. ——————————————— 🚨 WHEN SHOULD WE SUSPECT SEPSIS? Look beyond fever. Warning signs include new confusion, altered consciousness, fast breathing, low oxygen saturation, low blood pressure, rapid heart rate, reduced urine output, cold/clammy skin, severe weakness or rapidly worsening illness. Infection may arise from the lungs, urinary tract, abdomen, skin/soft tissue, bloodstream or another source. ———————————————- 🧪 DON’T DELAY THE BASICS Sepsis is a clinical diagnosis—no single biomarker can rule it in or out. The 2026 Surviving Sepsis Campaign recommends structured hospital screening such as NEWS/NEWS2, MEWS or SIRS rather than relying on qSOFA alone. Obtain blood cultures as soon as possible, ideally before antibiotics, and measure blood lactate when appropriate. ——————————————— 💊 ANTIBIOTICS—FAST, BUT SMART For probable or definite sepsis without shock, antibiotics should be given immediately, ideally within 1 hour. In possible sepsis without shock, a rapid, time-limited assessment of infectious versus non-infectious causes is appropriate; unnecessary antibiotics should be avoided when infection is unlikely. ——————————————- 🔎 FIND THE SOURCE—CONTROL IT Pneumonia, infected urine, an abscess, perforation, obstructed biliary or urinary tract and infected devices may require specific intervention. When source control is necessary, the 2026 guidance supports early source control, ideally within 6 hours. ——————————————- 💧 PREVENT THE SLIDE INTO SHOCK Resuscitation, oxygen/respiratory support, IV crystalloids when indicated, frequent reassessment and vasopressors when hypotension persists are central to management. Treatment must be individualised to avoid both under- and over-resuscitation. 🌍 #WHO is developing updated clinical management guidelines for sepsis, anticipated in Q4 2026. RECOGNISE → CULTURE → LACTATE → ANTIBIOTICS → SOURCE CONTROL → RESUSCITATE → REASSESS #Sepsis2026 #SepticShock #MedEd #SepsisAwareness #MedTwitter #EmergencyMedicine #CriticalCare #AntibioticStewardship #MedX @IhabFathiSulima @docakx @ajaykraina @mekarora @sowmiyasid

Goes absolutely to the nub of Pakistan's existential crisis in one line. That's why I consider Kausikan to be one of the finest strategic thinker of our times.

Underage boys being sold in an open market for rich and old pervert men. Pakistan is a living hell on earth. Imagine if this is what they do to young boys, what they must be doing to Hindu girls?

Recommend this 20 min video on YT. Link at end of this post. Watch this explainer on how nation states do psyops to make you hate your own govt and country, to reshape geopolitics to be beneficial for them. A social media psyop to make Americans hate Walmart and change their shop (as Walmart sources more from India now, not China) is the same way they program us to hate and change a govt. VC backed AI bot farms, like the one by Zuhair (as shown in the video), are startups that can be hired to influence millions, bring millions of views and likes to your propaganda.

I'll never forget the sight after landing at SFO in 2016 and in the cab to my friend's place - could see 7-8 planes, in air, queuing up one behind the other for landing. A treat to the eyes.

Stop whatever you’re doing for 2 minutes, and watch this trailer of ‘Laal Imaan’ - When Communism Meets Religion. A documentary film produced from inside the red corridors of JNU.

China has reportedly conducted a large-scale exercise testing a layered system designed to counter mass drone attacks. According to China3Army, the system combines laser weapons, high-power microwave systems, electronic warfare and gun-missile air-defense systems in what is described as an “Iron Triangle” concept. During the reported exercise, units from the Air Defense Brigade of the 75th Army of the Southern Theater Command conducted around-the-clock tactical firing drills in open desert terrain. Radar systems reportedly detected a low-altitude drone swarm, after which different counter-UAS systems were used in combination. Mobile OW5 laser systems and electronic-warfare systems were reportedly used against individual drones, while “Uragan-3000” microwave systems were used to engage multiple targets simultaneously. Drones that penetrated the first layer were reportedly engaged by Type 625 gun-missile air-defense systems and PG99 35 mm (1.4 in) anti-aircraft guns, while larger targets were engaged by HQ-16 air-defense systems. The exercise also reportedly tested the survivability of air-defense units. After a simulated compromise of their position, units redeployed their detection and engagement systems and attempted to camouflage their new positions. According to the source, the exercise focused on the ability to detect and respond to dense drone attacks while combining different layers of counter-UAS capabilities.

Optogenetics - activating specific neurons using light-sensitive proteins - wins the Nobel! Here's a great demonstration: Shining a light on this mouse activates the very specific subset of neurons that makes it shake (like a wet dog) to dry off.

Another episode of they don’t make movies like this anymore.

"When Bose referred to him [Patel] as ‘undemocratic’, he angrily retorted: ‘The lion becomes a king by birth, not by an election in the jungle.’"

This video inspired an awe that has remained with me since my freshman year. A well deserved prize!

La Mafia Turca es tan poderosa e influye tanto en su país que el partido del Movimiento Nacionalista (partido de Ultraderecha y tercera fuerza política de Turquía, y aliado de los Lobos Grises) ha mediado para acabar con una guerra que duraba ya 20 años entre dos de los clanes mafiosos más importantes del estado. El líder del partido político Devlet Bahçeli reunió a los dos clanes y realizaron un acto de paz con la invitación a una celebración de más de 4000 personas. El capo del clan Sahinler Sedat Sahin selló el acuerdo con el líder de los Sarallar Burhanettin Saral de forma pública. Todo esto sorprende aún más a la vista de los últimos acontecimientos en el crimen organizado turco. El mes pasado la Policía Turca desbarató un atentado que se iba a cometer contra Sedat Sahin por parte de los Sarallar, e incluso se iban utilizar RPGs. Si se fijan en un detalle, al final del vídeo hay coronas de flores, las cuales están enviadas por otro capo de la Mafia Turca. Se trata Sedat Peker, que está en Emiratos Árabes Unidos con una notificación roja de Interpol y que bendice este acuerdo entre dos grandes organizaciones criminales.

A registered pharmacist is an important safety barrier between a prescription and the patient. 🔴A recent report citing TG-SAFE data says that nearly 70% of pharmacies in Hyderabad were found dispensing medicines through unregistered staff. Why is this is deeply concerning? 1. Wrong drug may be dispensed causing potentially serious adverse effects 2. Wrong dose may result in toxicity or treatment failure 3. Wrong duration of medicines can result in resistance, complications or dependence 4. Drug interactions/allergies may be missed 5. Prescription medicines may be sold without appropriate scrutiny 6. Patients may receive inappropriate advice instead of being referred to a doctor. ▶️The problem is particularly serious with antibiotics, steroids, sedatives, anticoagulants, insulin and other high-risk medicines. ▶️A pharmacy should not become a place where medicines are sold simply because a customer asks for them. What needs to change? ✅ A registered pharmacist should be physically available during dispensing hours. ✅ Prescription medicines should be dispensed only against a valid prescription, with appropriate checks. ✅ Pharmacies should maintain proper records and digital linkage of pharmacists to their places of practice. ✅ Regulatory authorities should conduct regular, risk-based inspections, with meaningful penalties for repeated violations. ✅ Patients should also ask: “Is a registered pharmacist available here?” Technology can help, but regulation, enforcement and professional accountability are essential. Easy access to medicines is good. Easy access to prescription medicines without professional oversight is not. Dr Sudhir Kumar @hyderabaddoctor (Credits: @ajaytomarasks @TOIHyderabad)
