I don't know what you are selling that you keep asking people to dm you for the price.
My manager used to send non-urgent emails at 10pm, 11pm and sometimes midnight with the silent expectation you’d be on top of them by morning. I never complained, just started replying exactly 24 hours later, every single time. I draft the reply immediately and set a reminder so I don’t forget.
Midnight email? Midnight reply the next day. 6am Saturday? 6am reply the next week.
It’s been 3 months, he now sends almost everything before noon. I consider this both a personal and professional win.

You want the NATO allies to join you in a war you started without ever consulting these allies about the war or explaining your war aims. We’re meant just to meekly fall in line.
You recently supported a US invasion of a NATO ally (Denmark/Greenland) but now you want these same allies to join your war.
Your president disparaged and misrepresented the role of NATO allies in Afghanistan. But now you want them to join with you again in a war of your making.
You went to war with Iran without a thought of how to keep the Strait of Hormuz open and without involving your allies in the matter. But now you want the NATO allies to bail you out, even though there’s still no plan for Hormuz.
You want the NATO allies to join you in a war in which you still cannot articulate the endgame. Or what victory would look like.
You went to war thinking the Iranian regime would quickly topple, that Tehran would not attack the Gulf States or close Hormuz. Why would we align with such Epic Stupidity?
You and other know-nothing blowhards started this war all on your own. You can finish it on your own. If you’re able to …
Using a N3.6m solar system (8 panels, 10kwh battery), I am able to keep AC turned on 24/7 in my flat with no battery degradation. Let me explain how (this will be a bit long).
First of all, in Ikot Ekpene, we have a big family house that has 5 flats in it (used by the various members of my immediate family). One of them is mine, but I am currently renovating it. So I am staying in the other flat.
My Dad stays in one of the flats and his inverter was doing poorly, so I bought him the inverter system above (Felicity Lithium Phosphate - 8x 500 watt panels + 10kwh battery and 8kw inverter). The system can be expanded to include a second battery to make 20kwh, but he does not need that, so we kept it.
The flat I temporarily moved to did not have solar, so I connected his system so we could share. I figured that this should be enough for both of us, as our daytime draw was 600watts.
I observed that during the day I was seeing about 2kw production from the panels from around 11am till 4pm. The batteries fill up in the morning, and basically about 1.5kw is being wasted. Easy fix - turn on a 1 horsepower inverter AC with the mode "80". This makes it consume something like 800watts. Cool through the day.
I tried running the bed room AC at night and the battery died in the early hours. Not ideal.
The solution - I usually turn off the parlour AC (usually around 5pm), and the battery is close to 100%. The room AC I used a programmable switch which turns the AC on for 10-20 minutes every hour. The bedroom is smaller and more enclosed, so it stays very cold for the entire night.
The power consumption - normally the AC would consume ~900wh in an hour, so with this system I drop consumption to maybe 200wh. If I turn it on 8 times, that's total consumption of 1600wh. More than enough left over for the battery to go through the night.
So now I have full daytime and nighttime AC on a budget.
After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today.
I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.
It has been an honor serving under @POTUS and @DNIGabbard and leading the professionals at NCTC.
May God bless America.
In a few years, Hollywood will make a movie called ‘Escape from the Strait of Hormuz,’ in which a US Marine fighting through the conflict helps an Iranian girl who dreams of becoming a scientist escape the constraints of her society, start a new life in the United States, and discover her identity as a lesbian.
I don't know who needs to hear this, but GET UP. Ask God to breathe His spirit back into you. You've been lying dormant for far too long. Ask Him to restore your creativity, your purpose, your joy, your love, your health, and your sound mind. You've slept long enough in depression, anxiety, overthinking, bitterness, loneliness, grief, brokenness, financial stress, abandonment wounds, relationship trauma, and destructive habits. Today is the last day. GET UP! Get up for your future self. Get up for your kids. Get up for the dreams God placed inside you. Get up and take your life back.
I have been inundated with calls since this tweet. Some even saying I should take it down if I have no proof, some have quoted and said I’m lying. Below are images from Ayisha Osori’s post on Substack and the link for whoever cares to verify.
