Today I learned that people get more carsick in EVs

If you have felt like want to vomit riding in a Tesla or BYD and thought you were imagining it, you are not.

Electric vehicles cause more frequent and more severe motion sickness than petrol cars. A study back in 2024 found symptoms were 10 to 30 percent more intense. Back-seat passengers suffer the most.

Three reasons.

No engine sound.
Your brain has been trained to associate engine revving with acceleration. EVs are silent. Your brain gets no warning of the motion about to hit.

Instant torque.
Electric motors deliver maximum torque immediately. Petrol engines build up gradually. An EV accelerating from a traffic light reaches highway speed way quicker.

Regenerative braking.
The main culprit. When the driver lifts off the accelerator, the motor reverses into a generator to recapture energy. The deceleration this creates happens at roughly 0.2 Hz, which is almost exactly the frequency that triggers motion sickness.

One-pedal driving makes it worse. In a petrol car you coast between acceleration and braking. In an EV you are constantly accelerating or decelerating. That forward-back rhythm never existed in petrol cars before.

Manufacturers have noticed. Tesla, BYD, and MG let you reduce regen braking. Xiaomi's YU7 introduced a dedicated motion sickness mode. Mercedes has simulated V8 engine sounds so the audio cues reduce motion sickness.

If you get sick in an EV, three practical moves.

Reduce regen braking in settings.
Sit in the front.
Look far ahead, not at your phone.

Have you noticed this while sitting in an EV?

Kota Tinggi food court shooting: 71-year-old businessman arrested within 30 minutes

Three people have been killed in a brazen daylight shooting at a food court in Taman Kota Jaya, Kota Tinggi.

A 71-year-old Malaysian man was arrested by police just 30 minutes after the incident occurred around 1:30pm today.

In her final semester at Harvard, Amanda Nguyen was raped. She did everything survivors are told to do. Then she discovered that the physical evidence collected from her own body would be destroyed in 6 months — unless she filed paperwork to stop it. And then filed it again. Every 6 months. Forever. She was 22 years old. She decided to change federal law instead. 🌟

Amanda had interned at NASA. She had big plans. The kind of future that takes years of hard work to build was finally within reach.

Then everything shattered.

She went to the hospital. She reported the assault to police. She endured the forensic exam. She made the careful decision to file her rape kit anonymously — worried that an open case could affect security clearance applications for her dream careers.

That's when the system revealed how broken it truly was.

Because she was anonymous, Massachusetts law gave her only 6 months before her rape kit — physical evidence collected from her own body — would be permanently destroyed.

Not the 15 years the state allowed for pressing charges.

Six months.

No official process to extend it. No clear instructions. No one to guide her. She had to figure it out herself, every 6 months, forcing herself to relive the worst experience of her life just to preserve her right to eventually seek justice.

She started researching rape kit laws in all 50 states.

What she found was staggering.

Some states kept kits for years. Others destroyed them in as little as 30 days. Some states charged survivors for the cost of their own kit collection. Others never notified survivors what happened to their evidence. No consistency. No standard.

*"Justice should not depend on geography,"* she said.

But it did.

In November 2014, Amanda founded Rise — a nonprofit dedicated to changing that reality. Everyone who worked with Rise was a volunteer. They fundraised through crowdfunding.

Their goal was rewriting federal law.

She met with lawmakers across Washington. Staffers told her it wasn't a priority. Some questioned her story. She kept going. She learned that the most powerful thing she could do was stop being abstract — to walk into a room, look a senator in the eyes, and say: *this happened to me. I am sitting in front of you.*

Together with Senator Jeanne Shaheen, she drafted the Sexual Assault Survivors' Rights Act — proposing that survivors should never be charged for their rape kit collection, should receive testing results, and must be notified at least 60 days before their evidence was scheduled for destruction.

In February 2016, the bill was introduced.

It passed the Senate unanimously.

It passed the House unanimously.

Not a single vote against.

On October 7, 2016, President Obama signed the Sexual Assault Survivors' Rights Act into federal law.

Amanda Nguyen was 24 years old.

Rise continued working state by state. To date, Rise has helped pass 33 laws across the United States, covering protections for over 84 million rape survivors.

A movement started in spare time, with no budget and only volunteers, became one of the most effective civil rights campaigns of its generation.

And Amanda never stopped reaching for the stars — literally.

In 2024, Blue Origin announced she would be the first Vietnamese woman to fly to space. The young woman who had once feared that fighting for justice would cost her a future in space proved the two didn't have to be a choice.

She was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. Named a Time Woman of the Year. She wrote a memoir called *Saving Five.*

But perhaps the most remarkable thing about Amanda Nguyen's story is not any single achievement.

It is the fact that she turned the most painful moment of her life into something that made the world more just for millions of people who will never know her name.

She was a college student who needed the system to work.

When it didn't, she rebuilt it herself.

**At 24 years old.

BREAKING: Malaysia called the US-Israeli strikes on Iran “barbaric” and a “violation of international law.” It declared its US reciprocal trade agreement “null and void” after the Supreme Court struck down Trump’s tariffs. And then it picked up the phone, called Tehran, and secured toll-free passage for seven Petronas tankers through the Strait of Hormuz. Transport Minister Anthony Loke confirmed on March 31 that no toll is being imposed on Malaysian vessels because Malaysia has been designated a “friendly nation” by the IRGC. The strait that charges $2 million per crossing to everyone else lets Malaysian ships through for free.

This is the new sorting algorithm. The IRGC is not just filtering by cargo type. It is filtering by geopolitical alignment. China transits free because China buys Iranian oil and hosts the peace talks. India transits free because India maintains backchannels and refuses to condemn. Pakistan transits free because Pakistan is brokering the five-point framework in Beijing. And now Malaysia transits free because Malaysia condemned the war, nullified its American trade deal, and positioned itself as a Muslim-majority nation aligned with neither aggressor. The toll booth is not charging for passage. It is charging for allegiance. And the nations that pay nothing are the nations that owe Washington the least.

Malaysia imports 70 percent of its crude through Gulf routes. Without the exemption, Petronas tankers would face $2 million tolls plus war-risk insurance that would collapse refining margins and spike domestic petrol prices. Prime Minister Anwar thanked President Pezeshkian personally. The Iranian ambassador confirmed the designation. Seven tankers have clearance. Petronas has assured domestic fuel stability through May.

The US trade deal nullification adds the second dimension. On March 15, Malaysia’s trade minister declared the American Reciprocal Tariff agreement “null and void” after the Supreme Court ruling. Within two weeks, Malaysia secured toll-free passage from the country America is at war with. The timeline is not coincidental. It is transactional. Malaysia calculated that the cost of American displeasure is lower than the cost of $2 million per tanker crossing multiplied by every Petronas vessel for the duration of a war with no visible end date. The math chose Tehran over Washington. The math was correct.

And this is the pattern that should alarm every strategist in the Pentagon. Malaysia is not an adversary. It is a US security partner in Southeast Asia, a semiconductor packaging hub, a Five Eyes intelligence-adjacent nation, and a TPP signatory. If Malaysia can nullify a US trade deal, condemn the war as barbaric, secure free passage from the IRGC, and maintain diplomatic relations with both sides simultaneously, then the American alliance system is not being challenged by enemies. It is being arbitraged by friends. The toll booth is revealing who actually needs whom. And the answer is that a $2 million crossing fee has more immediate power over national alignment than 80 years of American security guarantees.

The IRGC did not build a blockade. It built an alignment detector. Ships that belong to nations aligned with Washington pay. Ships that belong to nations aligned with neutrality or Beijing pass free. The strait is sorting the world order in real time, and the sorting criterion is not military power. It is diplomatic flexibility.

Malaysia chose flexibility. The tankers are sailing. And Washington, as Trump promised on Truth Social, will remember.

The internet constantly tells women that men are terrible listeners because the second a woman starts venting about her day, the man immediately interrupts to offer a logical solution. We are taught to view this as him being dismissive, emotionally unintelligent, or invalidating our feelings.

​The strict, unpopular truth is that to a man, fixing the problem is his absolute highest, most desperate form of empathy.
​Women vent to connect; we want our partner to just sit in the dark with us and validate the emotion. But men are hardwired to view the woman they love being in distress as an active threat. When he immediately offers a spreadsheet, a strategy, or a solution to your problem, he isn't trying to silence you. His brain has recognized that something in the world is hurting his partner, and his immediate, visceral instinct is to assassinate the thing causing you pain.

We constantly shame men for "not just listening," completely ignoring the fact that his attempt to fix your life is his most profound declaration of love.

[A.Y.O @YusufAsunmogejo]

The question you asked was exactly what I asked myself when I first entered the University of Ilorin campus as a 100-level student. I looked at the road stretching from the school gate to the academic area, twisting and turning, and I wondered: "Why stress us?

Why didn't they just pave a straight line that would link us directly to the Faculty of Education?" Several people gave me funny responses. In fact, some even said it was for aesthetics, others said it was to prevent overspeeding.

It wasn't until I got to 300-level and was introduced to Engineering Survey that I got the answer. It's a technique called Gradient Management.

If you build a road straight up a steep hill like that, the slope becomes too sharp. A car engine has limits. If the road is too steep, vehicles will struggle to climb, and heavy trucks will roll back. Coming down is even more dangerous because gravity will pull you down so fast that your brakes might fail.

To fix this, we intentionally make the road longer and windy to reduce the steepness. Think of it this way: It is easier to walk up a gentle ramp that wraps around a building than to climb a straight ladder. Winding the road spreads the height over a longer distance, making the climb gradual and safe for engines.

Also, a straight line through a mountain means you have to blast through solid rock or fill up deep valleys, which costs billions. And as you know, following the natural contours of the land is not only safer; it is way cheaper.

So in short, we are just using Geometry to defeat Gravity. You get?

My 9-year-old wouldn't stop banging his fork on his plate at dinner.

I snapped. Yelled. Lost it over a stupid fork.

He went quiet. Finished eating. Left the table.

Five minutes later, I'm sitting there feeling like the worst dad in the world.

Here's what I did next (and what you should do too when you lose it):

I went to his room. Sat down next to him.

"I lost control back there. That wasn't okay. I'm sorry. Will you forgive me?"

He nodded. Hugged me. We moved on.

But here's the thing:

If I hadn't gone to him, he'd be sitting there thinking:
• "Dad's mad at me"
• "I'm bad"
• "I always mess up"

Kids don't think: "Dad had a rough day."

They think: "I did something wrong and now Dad doesn't love me."

That's the cost of not repairing it immediately.

When you yell, you damage the relationship. Not permanently—but you DO damage it.

And if you don't repair it fast, that damage compounds.

Here's the repair protocol:

1. Go to them (don't wait for them to come to you)
2. Get on their level (kneel down, sit next to them)
3. Own it ("I shouldn't have yelled. That was wrong.")
4. Apologize ("I'm sorry")
5. Ask for forgiveness ("Will you forgive me?")
6. Hug them and tell them you love them

Kids are incredibly forgiving. They WANT to reconnect.

But YOU have to make the first move.

This does three things:

1. Repairs the relationship immediately
2. Models what accountability looks like
3. Teaches them: strong people apologize

Your kids don't need a perfect dad.

They need one who owns his mistakes and makes it right.

Be that dad.

The MARESCA STORY as I understand it.

Maresca obviously knew what he was getting into, when he signed for Chelsea. I believe he was at peace with it. But the thing is, no manager prefers to work where he has little control to where he is the main man that decides everything.

Last year, he won the Conference League, the Club World Cup, and few months later, he changed agent. Of course, that's a move of someone who is looking for better things. I don't think it necessary means he wants out but it's a sign that if something better presents itself, he would take it. I won't blame him because Chelsea could've said, "listen man, we are going to give you the power you want at the club because you have earned it." But they didn't, which could be one of the reasons for the 'lack of support and worst 48 hours comment'.

Recently, David Ornstein broke the news that Maresca is a Man City target. Now, this is where the real game begins. Maresca and Pep are super close. If Pep is coming to an end at City and wants Maresca to take over, there is no chance in hell that Maresca would turn it down. Now, Maresca signed a new contract and will take almighty fee to get Chelsea to release him against their wishes. So, if you are Maresca and knows that Chelsea won't make it easy for Man City, and it could hurt your chances of joining City, you would force the hands of Chelsea to separate and make yourself available to join City. It's a game managers play all the time.

And the key thing here is time. He can't do that towards the end of the season, it will become too obvious. But if he does it now, and rest for 5 months, that's enough time to prepare well to take over City and people won't link his departure to City after 5 months out. In football, fans and journalists have very short memory. They will forget how he got there.

In my opinion, I don't think Chelsea or people at Chelsea did anything out of ordinary that Maresca didn't expect, rather Maresca wants badly to become a free man heading into the summer. I don’t think he will be this desperate if there isn't any top job waiting for him.

It's Chelsea’s burden to carry. The structure in place is not one that will easily keep a manager for a long time. Constant buying and selling of players in high volume won't make it easy for any manager to have a settled core of 15 players, let alone 18 players. Also, top managers want control. If Chelsea hire any young manager and he does well, it's natural he would be tempted to move when a club that can give him more control comes calling.

"How you make your bed is how you lie on it." I don't blame him, it's the consequence of our structure. If we don't want a repeat of it after Maresca, we should readjust it to make the manager a lot more comfortable.

I will miss him but I don't blame him.

Move over Legos there’s a new kid in town…

[Mr PitBull Stories @MrPitbull07]

I dated a woman for three years. She had a 2-year-old son, Leo, from a previous relationship. The dad was out of the picture.

We broke up because she wanted to 'party' and I wanted to settle down.
One night, she dropped Leo off at my house at 11 PM. She said, 'I can't do this anymore. You take him. You’re better at it.' And she drove off.

I have zero biological relation to this kid. The courts told me I had no rights. But I fought. I got guardianship because she abandoned him.

I’ve been a single dad to another man's kid for 10 years. I’ve taught him to shave, to drive, and to treat women with respect—ironically, the respect his mom never showed us.

She surfaced recently because Leo is a star athlete and made the local paper. She wants front-row tickets to the game.
Leo told the coach, 'If she shows up, don't let her in. My dad is the guy in the stands wearing my jersey.'
Biology makes you a relative. Loyalty makes you a parent.

Just discovered my 16-year-old little sister has been memorizing Qur’an behind all of our backs

I was thrown off
She never did class with us consistently
Never recited out loud
Never even brought her mushaf to the living room like the rest of us

So I asked her straight up how much she’d memorized

She mumbled,
“Juz 29… Juz 28 and a little bit of Juz 27.”

I just stared at her
Like… since when?

Turns out she’d been memorizing between homework breaks
During study sessions
On the bus
Right before bed
All those moments we thought she was scrolling TikTok
She was memorizing ayat quietly on her own

She got emotional
Said she didn’t want anyone to hear her mistakes
Or correct her in front of the family
So she learned everything alone

So I did the only thing an older sister could do

I sat with her the whole weekend
Corrected her tajweed
Fixed her tone
Helped her clean up the tougher ayat
Page by page

She now revises every night
Has a clean plan to finish her juz
And finally recites with her voice unlocked instead of hiding it

I’ve never been more proud of her
16 and already choosing Qur’an over brain-rot
There’s nothing small about that
