L-theanine is the only legal compound that changes your brainwaves on an EEG within 40 minutes of swallowing a capsule. And the mechanism is wild.

Your brain constantly balances two opposing neurotransmitters. Glutamate fires neurons. GABA calms them. L-theanine is a structural mimic of glutamate, close enough to cross the blood-brain barrier and sit on glutamate receptors. But instead of firing the neuron, it partially blocks the signal. Your excitatory system downshifts without you feeling sedated.

That downshift cascades. GABA levels rise. Serotonin and dopamine both increase. EEG studies at Oxford showed 200mg produces measurable alpha wave activity in the 8-13 Hz range across the parietal and occipital cortex. Alpha waves are the frequency your brain produces during meditation and flow states. Most people spend years trying to access that band through breathwork. A capsule gets there in 40 minutes.

The part that makes it genuinely useful: a 2016 study gave subjects L-theanine during a multitasking stressor. The placebo group's brains shifted into high-beta stress mode. The L-theanine group maintained alpha dominance under the same conditions. Their brains stayed in calm-focus while processing the same cognitive load.

Pair it with caffeine and the synergy gets even more interesting. Caffeine alone sharpens attention but triggers tremor, anxiety, and an eventual crash. L-theanine blocks the jitter pathway without touching the alertness pathway. You get the focus of coffee without the cortisol spike. One cup of green tea contains roughly 20mg of L-theanine, which is why tea feels different from coffee at equivalent caffeine doses.

200mg daily is the dose most studies use. That bottle is 100mg capsules. Two per day. Yes, it's worth the hype. One of the few supplements where the EEG data actually matches what people report feeling.

@stats_feed It would be insightful to see a graph of solar production every year the past 5 years

Round two of gifs to live action with @Alibaba_Wan Wan 2.2 + @ComfyUI

This time exploring whether it can work with traditional cel animation as a base ✏️

[Ishant Solanki @IshantSolanki]

This in OBS so that you can use in a zoom call.

Been wanting to stress test Wan 2.2 Animate, and I gotta say, it’s incredible what it can do. All done inside ComfyUI.

Its a bit much

[Ishant Solanki @IshantSolanki]

@DavidKPiano This was just proved to me yesterday.

"A calculator app? Anyone could make that."

Not true.

A calculator should show you the result of the mathematical expression you entered. That's much, much harder than it sounds.

What I'm about to tell you is the greatest calculator app development story ever told.

For a company thats too big to fail. Investing into it at this time is free money. Just put your spare change and look back in 5 years.

[Ishant Solanki @IshantSolanki]

Its a good time to invest into quantum computing. Ionq, dwave, rigetti, google are all booming and the pump will continue for a while. Personal opinoin ofcourse, not financial advice.

This is by far the best ad I have ever seen 😢

[Guillaume Huin @HuinGuillaume]

Volvo posted a 3 min and 46 second ad on Instagram, shot by Hoyte Van Hoytema, the cinematographer of Interstellar and Oppenheimer.

It goes against every single rule you can think about as a social lead. Length. Format. Over-produced.

Every comment under the ad said it immediately put Volvo in their consideration set. It's fucking fantastic.

I cant imagine a world without painkillers. They are a godsend.

[Ishant Solanki @IshantSolanki]

Wish i knew this earlier.
Why isnt everyone doing this? https://t.co/hdFO8Kr3NX

@missingfaktor Indians would say the same about contracting jobs in UK

[Ishant Solanki @IshantSolanki]

@danielcroe @OnestreamFibre Shadiest tactics I have ever seen from a company. They extended my contract for 2 years giving discount only on the first year. They didnt make this clear, it was hidden in the fine print. Now I will be paying double the money for their shitty service.
