If you're using @EclipseJavaIDE , watch this video covering our latest Copilot4Eclipse 1.2 EA update - we now support @github Copilot Chat! It's been our most requested feature & it's pretty easy to see what a game-changer it can be for #EclipseIDE devs. youtu.be/cX_qOHPGAPU

Dear Indians, your life has ZERO value. FSSAI banned ORSL because it contains high sugar and does not comply with the WHO formula, as it is dangerous for health. Then the ORSL company said, “Please, sir, we have ₹180 crore worth of stock. Please let us sell it.” The court said, Okay, sell it. So, this ₹180 crore stock of a big billionaire company has more value than the health of 140 crore Indians.

Majority of educated and rich people in India have zero civic sense, This is how they litter every public place and think its someone else duty to clean it. Can someone coin a name for Urban educated rich people with zero civic sense?

Replying to @KFC_India
@KFC_India my order has not been delivered for over an hour, your single support line isn't working (tried from multiple phones). Called delivery guy who said he's too far and has canceled the pickup. How do I get an update? Don't even know if this is coming.

Best part is that I've now received a whatsapp message saying, "we hope you enjoyed your meal." I'm quite hangry.

These beautiful roads define Camp! Walking, or riding a bicycle on these roads is a blissful experience. So calm, serene and cool at virtually any time of the day. Several of them have relatively no traffic making it safe to walk and cycle. Camp without them is unimaginable!
Hey #Pune. Army to close all these roads. I foresee massive traffic jams as they are 'through' roads for major residences &offices. Requesting experts/media to enlighten us more.Shouldn't there be public consultation? @PMCPune @nitin_gadkari @IaSouthern hindustantimes.com/cities/pu…

Never come across worse service than Airtel XStream. Super fast when it works, but when it goes down, they take 3 days (not kidding) to restore it, and then it goes down again within the next 2 days. Engineer visits scheduled by SMS, but never happen. Pathetic. @Airtel_Presence

What's the expected service time XStream @Airtel_Presence ? Internet has been down since yesterday at 11 AM, your engineer does not show up at the appointed time, doesn't answer his phone and am now told there's a delay and it could take upto 48 hours. Request no: 10185103973

We can't afford to lose one of the few green spaces we're so unbelievably blessed to have in #Pune
Despite living in #Pune since 92, I "discovered" #VetalTekdi only 25 yrs later when I started mtn biking. Couldn't believe something so incredible existed in the heart of our city, it's like you've stepped through a portal into another world! Sadly, today it's under threat #BBPP

Severe laceration on the cards if you're not walking carefully and don't have protective footwear.
What can we do to keep our hills free from hazards like this? Shattered bottles are the norm at every vantage point (read: "good drinking spot") on most of our in-city hills. Photo taken this morning while on my bike ride at Ramtekdi. @PMCPune @CPPuneCity #Pune #punenews

Do miss my days in Oblivion - somehow Skyrim never elicited the same feeling, even though it was so much more advanced.
In Oblivion, the Bravil castle steward, Dro'Nahrahe, accidentally had her home coded as a house in Bruma, a different city halfway across the world map. Every day she walks that red line until she is inevitably killed by wildlife or some other roaming threat. Usually on day one.

Amazing what can be generated with just a few written prompts! These were centered around, "cycling in space, cyberpunk" #midjourney
When we can't find space on our roads, perhaps we should find our roads in space. Bikes will be built with Shimano Si2 (S=Space), warp-factor pedal assist & galaxy-class cycle computers. Images generated by the mind boggling #MidjourneyAI #cycling #cyclingforall #cyclinglife

Blessed to be in a city like #Pune which has several in-city hills where you can walk, run, hike & bike!Favourites are Ramtekdi & Vetal Tekdi & you can also ride at Pashan Tekdi & Dighi Hills - there's a slice of tranquillity you can get to pretty quick,from anywhere in the city!

Do you want better 3rd-party #vscode extensions for VS Code, VSCodium or other VSCode-based editors? Please upvote this issue on GitHub: github.com/microsoft/vscode/… Without better change visibility non-MS creators are at a disadvantage. Please help us help you. #javascript #Java

The @metrorailpune provides a very bicycle friendly experience. Privileged to be able to use this amazing infrastructure which is sure to positively impact traffic in #Pune. My video of the experience: youtu.be/iYGyoLvL6W0 @PMCPune @PuneCityTraffic @ThePuneMirror #PuneMetro
