Korean man tunes into a Zoom meeting while on a roller coaster. There's no way they didn't know 😂
Community note
This video depicts a staged comedic skit by Ulsan Nam-gu officials promoting a local cart attraction, not a genuine Zoom meeting on a roller coaster. youtube.com/watch?v=pvumkI…

The officer who knows his work, is firm but impartial, who expects the utmost from his men, is respected more and can obtain better results than the officer with defective knowledge, who is lax and who endeavours to be the 'good fellow' with his men.

3️⃣ A powerful link emerges: Gen Sundarji’s career began by defending a 1 Mahar refugee train from Quetta through Bahawalpur in 1947, a critical axis he later targeted decades later as Army Chief to outmanoeuvre Pakistan during Operation Brasstacks.

Excellent article on hints that would most change how to train, equip, and prepare for movement, protection, and battle so they perform better under stress?

The best way to meet a bayonet charge, is by a counter-charge; because a charging line has an advantage over a stationary line by reason of its impetus.

Ever had that weird tachysensia "fast feeling"? - Everything slows down to a crawl, and then suddenly spirals into hyper-speed.
Honestly feels like a perfect metaphor for my life right now while I’m waiting on a massive decision.
Total standstill, but ready for the whirlwind.
