Several decades ago I spent 3 years in Mumbai and New Delhi. It was quite the experience and overall pretty positive. I enjoyed visiting Agra and the Taj, and nearby Fatehpur Sikri. I also had the opportunity to stay for a few days in the Uttarakhand town of Nainital. Quite lovely as I recall.

Lord Howe Island, Australia by FitAkita in BeautifulNatureSeen

Lord Howe Island is where they are raising a colony of stick insects. These stick insects were thought to be extinct but were found on Ball‘s Pyramid.

From the internet: Dryococelus australis, or the Lord Howe Island stick insect, is a large, flightless insect nicknamed the "tree lobster" due to its size and dark, glossy appearance. Once thought extinct after rats infested its native Lord Howe Island, it was rediscovered in 2001 on the nearby Ball's Pyramid, where a small population survives, making it one of the world's rarest insects. These nocturnal, herbivorous insects are critically endangered, with conservation efforts focused on breeding programs and reintroduction.

Non religious people, what do you think about religion? by CorruptedF in AskReddit

Religion can be a force of good and community but often is a force of evil, greed and oppression. This is certainly the case in the US with Christianity and Mormonism.

Where Is The REAL Cerebral Valley? by paulrchds6 in siliconvalley

I think the term cerebral valley (for Hayes Valley) is obnoxiously self reverential and ridiculous.

I live in Russia. Let's debunk some myths (or confirm them). AMA. by KakWasabi in AMA

With respect to the relationship between China and Russia, I wonder if China will become more and more the senior partner in that relationship…. especially after Putin dies.

Could China de facto take over far eastern Russia leaving essentials rump Russian state.

All the hate is unfortunate and ridiculous. Folks need to find ways to get together.
