    They'll remove the real Christmas tree and put on a fake

    Ms. Hidalgo said that the rings now installed on the monument — 95 feet wide and 43 feet tall — were too heavy to resist winter winds and remain permanently, and would be replaced “as soon as possible” by lighter rings made by ArcelorMittal, the global steel giant that made the current set.

    They show posts from random accounts and if you don't open for 2-4 days then notifications like this random user made a post or you missed this post from random user. If you refresh it's almost impossible to see previous posts. And most annoying thing I felt was Facebook ruined while browser history. Every page visited has Facebook title in history page

    These are not traditional Landlords but families lending their spare rooms for some side income. If they don't like you they will not lend the house. You'll face more rejection being a single male then being non vegetarian here. Some only rent to traditional married couples.

    Even if they are okay with non vegetarians, Hindus will be object with beef eaters and Muslims will object with pork eaters. Some are fine if you bring non veg from outside and don't cook in the house itself. Everyone will put ban on alcohol and smoking.

    It is mentioned nonchalantly however stamped during Hajj is a major concern. From the photos the place looks really claustrophobic with thousands of people standing so close, and overall organisation is generally bad from what I've heard.

    About the heat, Saudi Arabia govt has a good idea how the temperature goes during summers there. But there only suggestions are "to use umbrellas, drink plenty of water and avoid exposure to the sun during the hottest hours of the day" despite knowing very well most religious activities are done outside.

    No political party is actually secular in India. TDP/JDU are also like that. Ironically secularism word was added in constitution by Indira Gandhi during national emergency period. Her candidature was declared void by High Court so she declared emergency and made the court decision itself void.

    Shouldn't the govt and EV manufacturers provide the charging infrastructure? Or at least give incentives for privately owned charging points, not force it.

    Residential developments are having charging points here and people will happily pay extra for it imo because they want to be future safe with homes.
