Electrons have a property called spin, which is a bit like an intrinsic form of angular momentum. Despite the name, electrons don't actually spin around their axes like planets. Instead, spin is a quantum mechanical property that doesn't have a direct analogy in classical physics. Interestingly, the spin of an electron can only take one of two possible values, which are typically described as "up" or "down." This quantization of electron spin is fundamental to many aspects of quantum mechanics and is crucial for technologies like magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and quantum computing.
One of the most dangerous things you can do is become comfortable with your own excuses.
You start explaining why you haven't started, why you can't change, why the opportunity isn't right.
Eventually, your excuses become more familiar than your ambitions.
Be careful. You can talk yourself into a life you never wanted.
@mitansh_j07 That's the key advantage of passkeys. Even if someone gets hold of your password, they can't simply reuse it on a fake website. A much needed step forward in online security.
Passkeys are tied to the genuine website, so a fake login page can’t simply collect and reuse them. If your email or banking app offers passkeys, consider setting one up. The NCSC explains why: https://t.co/EzldpsmVVu #CyberSecurity#DigitalSafety
Some people have spent years becoming who everyone else finds acceptable.
They hide their opinions, dilute their ambitions and compromise their standards just to remain liked.
Then one day, they realise something painful:
Everybody knows the version of them they created, but nobody knows who they really are.
Being academically good as a child was the worst fucking setup. Everyone kept telling me how far I’d go, how successful I’d become and how much potential I had. Now I’m an adult struggling to figure out my life, carrying the weight of expectations I never asked for. I wasn’t just expected to succeed; I was expected to become everything people imagined I’d be. And honestly, the guilt of not living up to that version of me is exhausting.
@Zilot042 Isn't the bigger issue that most people are taught how to earn money, but never how to make it work for them? How much of building wealth comes down to financial education versus the environment you grow up in?
@soichann0901 Start with your email and banking apps. If they support passkeys, set them up there first. It's usually straightforward, and you won't have to remember another password. Just make sure you keep your phone and recovery options secure.
Your fridge should be 5°C or below. A dial isn’t a thermometer: check the actual temperature and leave room for air to circulate. Proper chilling slows harmful bacteria. When did you last check yours? https://t.co/rXdUi9YLCs #FoodSafety#KitchenTips
UK guidance asks adults to aim for 150 minutes of moderate activity a week, but it doesn’t have to be done in long sessions. Brisk walking counts; add strength work on 2 days too. If you’re starting from little, build gradually—some movement is better than none. What kind of movement do you enjoy? https://t.co/DQNOrvRVOq #MoveMore #PublicHealth
A wipe labelled “flushable” can still build up in sewers. Put all wet wipes in the bin; only pee, poo and toilet paper should be flushed. It’s a small habit that helps prevent blockages, flooding and pollution. Thames Water: https://t.co/Wj8mYweqaV #ProtectOurRivers #EverydayHabits
A fence can quietly block a hedgehog’s route. With your neighbour’s agreement, a 13cm × 13cm gap at the bottom helps connect gardens so hedgehogs can reach food and shelter. Could you make a little room for wildlife? https://t.co/ip0zCDDJ9M #HedgehogHighway#GardenWildlife
Credit-card minimums often clear little of the balance. If interest and fees have outweighed repayments for 18 months, your provider must offer help. MoneyHelper: https://t.co/Yn9FXtHOSh #CreditCards#MoneySkills
For job applications, don’t just claim a skill. Give one example: the situation, what you did, and the result. Match it to the role’s criteria and use plain English. https://t.co/BYo3LGpmzb #CareerTips#JobSearch
Clearing out the medicine cupboard? Return unwanted or expired medicines to a pharmacy for safe disposal. Don’t put them in household rubbish or flush them: they can pollute soil and waterways. Check what you already have before ordering repeats. https://t.co/RILrLKyWuH #MedicineSafety #ReduceWaste
