Senior officials at the White House have been quietly vetting potential replacements for Deputy Secretary of Defense Steve Feinberg. Reuters reported that the vetting effort dates back to at least June, with two of its sources saying White House officials had sounded out senior Senators on whether prospective nominees could win confirmation. One source indicated the exercise was still active as recently as late August, though the outlet could not pin down exactly when the search began or who was being considered.

Many people who have booked cabs through aggregator apps can relate with one thing - the agonising wait for the driver. When the frustration grows, they contact the designated driver via text message or phone call. However, sometimes, even after all the waiting and calling, drivers just cancel the ride. Such instances are not new and are relatable to all. But everyone would appreciate some honesty, clarity, or certainty about whether your drive is being cancelled. Setting an example, a cab driver did just that. He asked the user to cancel the ride for a simple reason - he wanted to catch some sleep, and the internet is not blaming him.
An internet user Ashi took to Twitter to share the instance. She decided to use Uber to book a cab in Bengaluru. The driver, named Bharath, accepted the ride. However, he later messaged her using the app's chat box to cancel the ride because "he was sleepy." In the screenshot shared by Ashi, the driver says, "cancel this riide, im sleepy." To this, the user simply responded by saying "ok."

"At least this guy was honest. There was this one time - on my way back from BLR airport, the cab guy just pulled over on ORR and said "madam, I can't drive anymore - I'm sleepy". It was around 3:30AM, I was jet lagged and scared as hell," said a user.
A second shared a similar experience and said, "One auto driver was watching YouTube so didn't want to take a ride."
"I understand him," added another person.
"One guy accepted and didn't move for 5 min before i called him and then he says "i was waiting for your call," commented another user.
"At least driver informed the reason.. so nice of him being kind !!!" remarked a user.
Another person said, "Work life balance at its finest."
