Asked by a displaced sailor when personnel could retrieve their belongings from the Bahrain base, the Navy's top officer, Admiral Daryl Caudle, didn't soften it: "We're not getting back in there anytime soon. I just want to be completely honest with that." The acting Navy Secretary, Hung Cao, was blunter still, telling reporters Iran "blew the hell out of Bahrain." Repairs are estimated at $400 million, with no timeline. The Fifth Fleet's old logistics hub sat minutes from the Gulf. Its replacement, Diego Garcia, sits more than 2,000 miles away, so far that sailors on deployed ships now have to place food orders 30 days in advance. A Fifth Fleet admiral described it to Navy families as "making it up as we go because nothing is conceived to go on this length of time." That is the actual, current state of the base the US relied on for decades to guarantee the Strait of Hormuz stayed open.

One of those things where you go - “duh! Why don’t I think of that before!”
“I always get pancakes for the table. Unlocks the whole menu. It’s the best. Everyone who steps into a diner is thinking in their head, ‘should I do pancakes?’ But you don’t wanna just do pancakes, but you’d eat pancakes. So you get the pancakes for the table” -Big Cat

Joe Rogan can recite every random conspiracy at least loosely, but is “not familiar” with the crimes of a sitting Senator in the state he lives in, sub-50 days from mid-term elections. Prolific bullshitter.
Ron White to Joe Rogan: Talarico didn't cost this state $6 million in fines and lawsuits, and that happened with Ken Paxton. Guess who paid that $6 million? You and me paid the $6 million for his bribery. His own party impeached him. He's a criminal. He's a piece of shit.

In Texas they found 117 potential noncitizens out of 18 million voters. That's .00065%. And that's an an upper bound; these are merely "potential" noncitizens. This is a fake problem.

The most expensive part of a hospital bill may never touch the hospital at all. A patient admitted for care has no way of knowing whether the price on a medical consumable reflects its actual cost or a markup fixed long before it ever reached the ward. That gap in information is, at its core, a public health issue. A survey of hospital consumables in Maharashtra found an IV infusion set with a trade price of ₹11.05 carrying a printed MRP of ₹325 ; a markup of 2,841%. A syringe procured at ₹6.75 carried an MRP of ₹57.20. A catheter procured at ₹29.41 carried an MRP of ₹310. These are not elective purchases. Patients cannot compare prices, seek alternatives, or question a number printed on a box while receiving care and the MRP itself is often fixed upstream by manufacturers and distributors, disconnected from the trade price by a wide, unexplained margin. The result is a system where the party bearing the cost has the least information to evaluate it. The regulatory gap is structural: scheduled medicines are capped under the Drugs (Prices Control) Order, 2013. Most medical devices and consumables are not leaving both the pricing and the information around it almost entirely unmonitored. A review of these findings and clear guidelines on the permissible gap between trade procurement price and declared MRP have been recommended to the Department of Pharmaceuticals and the NPPA ; a step toward closing not just a pricing gap, but the information gap patients are left to bear alone. #PublicHealth #GoodGovernance #Leadership #TukaramMundhe moneycontrol.com/news/busine…

Currently, the OPT program enables talented graduate students to work in the US for a period after they graduate. Eliminating this program will cause graduate students, with newly minted PhDs, to be forced to leave the US, hurting US competitiveness.

It seems like there’s something new to learn about 9/11 every year. TIL rescue dogs were getting depressed after 9/11 because they were finding so many human remains and few live bodies. To remedy this, handlers & volunteers would hide in the rubble to stage a rescue so the dogs would have a reward and could get back to work with higher morale. For some reason, it really hit me thinking about how even the dogs were discouraged by how many people were lost
