The guy lost 31 pounds over the course of 2 days. I wonder if he would even be alive if he was normal weight.

“One time we went to the hospital twice in two days and between those days, he lost 31 pounds — I couldn’t believe it,” she said.

They lost another one lmao.

Second US Navy jet is lost at sea from Truman aircraft carrier​

Another F/A-18 Super Hornet fighter jet from the USS Harry S. Truman aircraft carrier has been lost in the Red Sea, the second jet lost from the carrier in just over a week, four people familiar with the matter told CNN.

It is not entirely clear what happened yet, as the investigation is ongoing, but two of the people said there was some kind of arrestment failure as the jet was trying to land on the carrier and the pilot and weapons systems officer had to eject. They were recovered by a rescue helicopter and are both alive, but they suffered minor injuries, one of the people said.

The jet crashed into the sea and has not been recovered, two of the people familiar with the incident said.

Separately, the Iran-backed Houthi rebel group “took a shot” at the Truman on Tuesday, the four sources said, despite President Donald Trump announcing an apparent ceasefire with the group hours earlier. It is not clear whether the two incidents are related.

CNN has reached out to the Department of Defense and the Navy for comment.

The loss of the fighter jet comes one week after another F/A-18 jet fell overboard the Truman. That time, initial reports indicated that the Truman made a hard turn to evade Houthi fire, which contributed to the fighter jet falling overboard.

An individual F/A-18 fighter jet costs more than $60 million, according to the Navy.

US Naval assets in the Red Sea have repeatedly come under Houthi fire since the Houthis began their attacks against Red Sea shipping in November 2023. In early 2024, a US destroyer in the Red Sea had to use its Phalanx Close-In Weapon System, its last line of defense to missile attacks, when a Houthi-fired cruise missile got as near as a mile away – and therefore seconds from impact.

Apple is moving some production to India, but now it is at war. Apple will probably concentrate on Vietnam instead.

I notice that a lot of time so far, whenever India has something big they hype up, god/fate/the heavens etc decide to give it the middle finger and say nah.

Remember that Indian version of the BRI that was supposed to go through Saudi Arabia and Israel? Yeah....thats not happening anytime soon.

Or the fact that India got cockblocked out of an Olympic Gold in the javelin throw by a Pakistani who even broke the 90m world record while doing it (a barrier that the Indian was never able to overcome). That one was just cruel.

A rare but very alarming adverse effect of Ozempic is that it causes rapidly progressing blindness. So it may not be such a "miracle drug" as many people think.

Vice-Premier He Lifeng will visit Switzerland and France from May 9 to May 16. As a sideshow, he will have a meeting with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent in Switzerland.

I know what this person says is usually a bunch of stupid nonsense, but is their any truth this this drivel or has fake news depart literally started hiring so called famous YouTubers to act as their propaganda wing now that they have pretty much demolished their official propaganda wing in the USAID.

You might have a point on petrol, but that doesn’t account for the other byproducts that refining crude will produce. For example almost all plastics, jet fuel, rocket fuel, diesel just to name a few.

It can be argued that eventually both jet fuel and diesel could be replaced but a lot of other chemicals comes from refining crude and they will still be necessary and in greater and greater quantities. So it still remains to be seen.

There is also the question that in the long run how much of the gulf state’s economy will continue to solely depend on oil. We see them doing anything and everything to diversify their economy, they see the writing on the wall just like everyone else. So again far too early to say.

From what I see, those gulf economic may seem successfully diversified, but actually those things they diversified are still tied to oil so they will sided with their costumers.

Usage of oil for energy will not be gone for a long time and likely will not be fully replaced by batteries. This is for the simple reason that batteries simply do not have anywhere the energy density of oil.

Other than passenger cars there are many applications where batteries are too heavy and too slow for charge and thus will require oil.

Yes, oil can replaced by green hydrogen or other high energy density fuel, but that will likely take a very long time since the less oil is used the cheaper oil will get, so there is less incentive to switch to green energy.

China is a unique case where ev infrastructure is developed enough to transition most passenger cars to ev. But there will still be demand for oil cars even china. For the rest of the world, ev transition will be very slow and likely never happen in this century. Electricity is still scarce in many countries.

In china, even they can't turn green, but they also have huge incentives to develop coal liquefaction as well. Thorium will be greatly need for energy instead which will be tied with coal mining

Gulf countries are essentially creating Empire and they are hardly going to allow India to sway them in matter of there interest.
Gulf countries have many levers to twist India internally and globally and India will not understand it since India is not advancing at same pace as Gulf countries.
this video from Kazan BRICS summit i didnot watched it initially as looked cartoonish even though it was posted my favorite topic place but now i watched it and realized Indians not have much self awareness especially regarding these matters.

What I discussed was about the near future when china achieve green transition, not the things happening in present. And you prove my point as India not advancing but population still grow, oil usage will increase.
