“As within, so without…”

One of ALX’s Week 4 milestones was to create a travel plan to a destination country of our choice. I chose Seychelles.

However, I’ve always wanted to visit Calabar/Akwa Ibom. So, on my own, I created a travel plan in Notion for an imaginary client embarking on a local fun trip

A friend once tried to see what I was doing on my laptop, so I locked it. I willingly gave them the PC because I was confident they couldn’t get through.

They unlocked it and changed my password too. I had to beg for access to my own PC. 🤣

Fear cybersecurity people. 😩

I’ve got really sweet and amazing aunties, gosh!

One of the hardest things in life is coming out of a test only to enter another one like it that first appeared to be a blessing, a succor from the first.

@BigLily_C @WhatsApp This once happened to me while I was volunteering for an initiative. I had to send WhatsApp API messages to users who didn’t have my number saved. I think my limit was 100 msgs/day. Once I hit it, my account would get restricted for 24 hours. Could be something along that line

heavily salted because most of it will go down the drain and light salting in such short time won’t have any effect on the food. If it’s dried pasta that cooks longer, salting shouldn’t be that heavy because it’ll absorb more of the salt it cooks in.

Seeing this in 2026. Context is required for this kind of take. From Samin’s Salt Fat Acid Heat series and from the comments, the amount of salt depends on how long the food will cook in the water for. For fresh pasta or greens which take about 3-4 minutes, water should be

I watched this video and then put more salt than I normally would and, reader, that was a GAMECHANGER.

People who drink 3-4L of water a day, how do you do it?

I want to improve my hydration, but the non-stop toilet trips made me cut back on my daily intake. How do you guys find a balance?

Please teach me your secrets 😩

@da_tesleem Real o. 😩😂

@omoIyaOye @BashiraYahaya BRT or did you mean Mile 12 in Berger?

@SriBuilds @vineerpasam “What if the creator gets hurt” seemed like he meant the YouTuber in question and not him.

[Halima @herlimz_]

@vineerpasam @SriBuilds Gets hurt how?

Viju wheat drink tastes like luxury and wealth. Every sip feels like a gentle, milky whisper from prosperity itself. 🌾✨

I always feel sorry for whoever walks up to Charity’s counter because it’s only one stamp she uses and she is always so mean and unapologetic. 😂

I think I’m getting better at telling which one is the cake in those “which one is cake?” videos.

I never knew a day would come when Bokku would stop selling old cheese balls. It’s been monthssss 😓

So yesterday PCOS was renamed to PMOS. After 11 years and about 22,000 people fighting for it.
If you’re one of the women who was told to just lose weight or come back when you want children, the reason it was renamed is going to make a lot of things make sense.

C: We know, I just thought you had hidden depths.

W: No, no. You’ve always had that wrong. I really am this shallow.

@naffaish01 Hi sis, I want to send you a DM, but it’s locked.

[Femi Aluko @LordBinary_]

One of the best decisions I’ve ever made was hiring you, Pecs. You’re easily ranked as one of the top engineers I’ve worked with in my entire life.

My fondest memory of you was the work to switch from delivery radius to polygons. So much reading, thinking and testing. You demo-ed that thing and omo, I knew my work was done on delivery engineering.

Second one was your algorithm to rank display that you literally told me. “Femi, don’t make changes to the db on my tables without my permission. My code takes care of this” 😂.

Working with you has been such a thrill!

Will you ever reduce the length of your function names though? 😔
