India vs Afghanistan on their diverging tourism strategies…. 🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️ But seriously, unless India focuses on quality of life for locals, no marketing ever will do the job, as we have seen from the racism against Indians/idea of India last few days here on this platform.

I exaggerate for effect, there is no comparison, but seriously, unless India focuses on quality of life for locals, no marketing ever will do the job (even if there was marketing, there is none for now), as we have seen from the contrast between the locals talking about gasping

Surrounded by foam cubes, flying kids, and millennial parents at a Brooklyn play place. Solo parenting three kids is my extreme sport.

Being a BTech Computer Engineer, I should know programming but last I did real coding was 1996, C-on-Unix & PHP script kiddie stuff in '00s. I am delighted to do a small inconsequential Replit ⠕ project in 2025, my Engineering degree is finally obsolete. landmark-navigator-ra134.replit.app

One of the more fascinating things to me is almost *every* new AI capability is launched/illustrated using travel booking/planning examples and yet the sector has seen very little real world business built out of it besides early experiments and gimmicks. What explains this

Federal officials are now saying the New Orleans attacker acted alone. Doesn't this directly contradict what they said about several people planting IEDs? Can't say I'm impressed by the changing stories from officials on this. He had accomplices! He acted alone! It was all
