Congratulations on Securing Government Job, Johnny!

Regarding marriage, it's a lottery and karma game. Get your kundli matched based on actual kundali to avoid fakes. Have meetings with the girl and clarify certain things upfront:

a) Family Living Arrangement
- Parents will live with you
- You'll take care of them
- Expect your life partner to stand beside you in this

b) Household Skills
- Ensure she knows how to cook and clean
- (Note: By "cleaning" I mean ability to organize personal space, not expecting others to clean after her)

c) Expectations Management
- Ask what she expects from marriage
- Could range from:
- Buying SUV
- Exotic vacation trips
- Be prepared or clarify your own priorities

d) Financial Contribution
- If she's salaried, gently communicate expectations about sharing expenses

e)Personal Habits
- Carefully and creatively inquire about:
- Partying habits
- Drinking preferences

f)Religious
Ask what her beliefs are and how she practices and what is her expectation of spouse.


- Real nature reveals itself after 6-12 months
- Marriage is work; both partners must contribute
- The problem with most matches is they expect a Adarsh Sanskari Pati but site themselves being modern followers of feminism to shun any their share of responsibility.


(Above points are Applicable to both rural and city girls)

Some find gem partners from diverse backgrounds. Don't generalize. Seek God's blessing for a life partner who makes your life experience and learnings net positive.
 
@Ayan Barat you seem to know a lot.
Tell me this. Have we reached a limit of Non Nuclear Area saturation bombs with FOAB and MOAB?

Both of these are dopped in a non contested airspace. Is there a standoff weapon that can be used to level entire Cantonments?

First of all, naah Mate. I just try my best to learn things and whatever you see is the by-product.

Not limit, but there's not really any point of using these weapons. Especially considering the efforts it takes to make and deliver them. Cost is an issue too.

Really, like in any weapon you'd find one specific purpose for which it was designed. Let's say BrahMos; make an anti-ship missile that's quite hard to intercept. What's this for MOAB?
And even if there's one, how relevant it would be in tomorrow's conflict?

Let's say you want a large blast radius. With a MOAB weighing almost 10 tonnes you get a blast radius of around 2km.
For 10 tonnes you can carry 10, 1,000kg bombs each with a blast radius of around 300m. But with modern GPS kits you can carefully draw a grid of where each bomb would land. Like here's the blast radius of 1 MOAB compared to that of 10x Mk-84; both weighing 10t in total

But 10x smaller bombs gives you some advantages
• you don't need a specialized carrier, even a lightweight fighter can carry 2x 1,000kg bombs each
• you can assign bombs based on targets like a single bomb for a large area with multiple canvas tents but two bombs on the building that has command center. You don't get this level of planning with MOAB
• you can also use multiple warhead types like 2x bunker buster, 4x high explosive and 4x fragmentation. In MOAB it's just one thermobaric warhead

Only purpose could be for pulverizing well built deep underground targets.

Some areas of Delhi are a worse shithole that Patna which is an achievement in its own way.



Bigger cities having Landfill looks shithole. I have one near my house. Currently in the cleaning phase, but can't even pass the area without blocking your nose. Standing for 10 mins you may vomit it out.

Need to remove Landfills. People dump everything there like E-Waster, Medical-Waste, Non-Bio, Bio. Also with screwed up AQI in Delhi these were all primary health hazards. Impacts Air, Water and people's livelihood.

Well that's probably the only target MOAB can't tackle 😶

MOAB is made-up of extremely thin almunium shell as it's supposed to air-burst and disperse it's thermobaric mixture without minimal obstruction. And then after a millisecond or two, this fuel air mixture gets detonated. If you try to use a MOAB on underground targets then the result would be something like a cartoon bullet getting squished after hitting a hard surface.

For underground targets you'd need good ol bunker busters; like say BLU-109s.

Pretty sure if GOI/Delhi Gov wanted to find a solution, they could find one. There are a couple of examples for properly dealing with things like these.
For example, build something like CopenHill plant and burn the garbage down! It will reduce the volume significantly while recovering money through recovered metals etc.
Utilise the energy generated from incinerating the waste for EV stations or powering the shithole areas besides the one in Delhi.

Right I think correct weapon would be GBU57 MOP

That is because the authorities don't know how to manage landfills properly. With proper management, landfills are not so bad smelling.
 
Yesterday there was some usual to and fro regarding China's capabilities and how we've fought four wars and everything's a propaganda. Didn't engage much because of my past experiences...

But for anyone who might stumble across this post, this is AVIC's aircraft production facility, Xi’an-Yanliang

Look it up on satellite maps and you'd find 16 Y-20s just casually sitting there; more than half of our total strength of strategic airlifters. When technically we should have a similar strength as we have almost similar number of Army personnel.

When on a cold evening of 1260, the Sufi poet Rumi was asked to give advice to the distressed defence FanBois of India, he replied:
"Out beyond the ideas of Feeling Paraud Indian Army and DhotiShivering, There is a field. I'll meet you there."

So just remember, how much we need to do to match our adversary

CC this to Air Marshlols, PMO and MoD.
"We" can only bitch here and twitter.

Anyway most of their capacity is for an Amerishart-Intervention-less reunion with Taiwan, and without Taiwan being taken first, they won't go after us because we'll be a Ukraine like quagmire and in that time-frame Uncle Sam will park like 2 CSGs there permanently or some sht.

Until then because of the literal 3000 Black Jets of Xi Jinpig except capitulations from the GoI on matters of Chinese ungli.
 
I dunno.

Our demographics are pretty good. Relative to any of our competition
Not the kind of "Gotcha" comeback I was expecting from you but yeah, our demographics are indeed pretty good.
Infact I'd say that it's excellent compared to not just our competition but even the top global powers considering we've 30 more years of demographic dividend.

But that's just half the story, the other half is how effectively are we going to utilize this demographic dividend; and only time would tell that. Like on paper we've such good numbers of engineers graduating every years. But compare that with the quantity - quality of patents being filed each year or the impact score of the research papers being published.

competition is the top global powers. china and USA. nobody else.

population collapse wont be an orderly thing. they will have lots of societal unrest. (some already are starting, all the immigration backlash is downstream to this).
 
Battle of Greenland, 2025.

Combined forces of America and Russia trying to establish a beachhead in Greenland. Allied forces of European Union and China holding the lines to prevent a landing. India as usual is criticizing everyone and requesting to maintain status quo.

Damn! This is definitely not the multipolar world I was imagining to witness!
