We don't know the price, but I'm interested, weather I buy or not, will depend on the price.

As Linus (inferior) of LTT said, most products are not bad products, just bad price.

Both sides are saving face, India lost some fighters more than one for sure. But no clarity, pakistan claims they downed five, BBC independently verified one, some US officials said two planes were shot down. However it's unclear if they were downed by Chinese made fighters or not, maybe they were. India confirmed that "losses are part of defense action".

Couple other experts pointed it looked like crash due to air-to-air missiles (but experts are all anoynums and from western countries).

The problem is there was so much disinformation in Indian media, Pakistani media and Chinese media around that time. It's next to impossible to say how the Rafale was downed, but at least downed Rafale is confirmed.

I think Singapore handles it well, any residential property can only be rented for minimum of six months, less than six months and it must be registered a commercial property and be in a zone that allows commercial activity.

It doesn't ban AirBnB specifically, but it solves this problem.

Ok, so I checked a superstore near me, and my updated understanding is

1. anything disinfecting is alcohol based be it for skin or for for objects,

2. things designed for cleaning skin or to be "refreshing/fragrant" are mostly water based.

3. However there are skin cleaning products that are marketed more towards deep clean or dirt/oil/grease etc are almost always alcohol based.

4. cleaning objects intended wet wipes also mostly alcohol based. But if marketed as "gentle" could be water based.

So baby wipes being meant to clean skin and be "gentle", it makes sense that they are water based.

Maybe my understanding is wrong, and I don't use wet wipes that often, but the ones I have I bought like a year ago 60% ethanol v/v.

I understand it's "wet" from some alcohol/aldehydes and not from water.

While I agree with your point that term terrorist is overused, but calling them rebel isn't any better, we can't be picking better words that suggest killing random civilians is justified because it's a rebellion.

One negative doesn't cancel the other one, even if India is terrorist state, doesn't mean attackers that shoot tourists are not terrorist.

Rebels? Rebels target military targets, correct word for people who target random civilians is terrorist.

Just to be technically correct, very little evidence suggests caste system was abused in ancient India, that maybe because figuring out ancient India is hard due to lack of archeological evidence. But most of the horrible abuses of caste system are documented around 900AD and later.

Disclaimer, I might be wrong. And I don't feel like fact checking.

You know many countires have implemented something as simple as that. Singapore has PayNow, India has UPI, Thailand has prompt pay. And they've had it for about half a decade or more. West (EU, US, UK are catching up). Commercial banking is still alive in these Asian countires. And it's not so hard for banks to adapt.
