You're being too polite. It wasn't a fumble. Find me a person who isn't rooting for PJ and Dhan, not just because PJ is awesome, but also after what what was (allegedly) done to him.

Anyone else here also think that Reddit Answers is probably the best answers engine out there today. Am using it multiple times a day now, and as a result have largely stopped using Perplexity Pro.

Not sure this is the best inspiration before a critical test match. Instead of going to the club, should have met the boss (and I don't mean Amorim)

My very first Macbook Air, a 2011 11" that Vijay Shekhar Sharma had helped me pick in Hong Kong when we had gone for the AsiaD conference, is alive again with Linux Mint XFCE. I'm going to make this my travel laptop again.

India should haul Microsoft over the coals. And fine it an amount that will really hurt. If Microsoft doesn’t understand about sovereignty, it should limit its business to the US territory instead of selling around the world
