🚨 | Luca Cordero di Montezemolo on the new Ferrari Luce:
"If I said what I really think, I'd harm Ferrari. We're risking the destruction of a myth, I'm very sorry about that. I hope they at least remove the Prancing Horse from that car"
Niliquit 9-5 ilikuwa inanilipa 150k/month.
Imenitake two years for my company kunilipa 67k/month na nafanya kazi from 7AM to 11PM every day, na sometimes unapata uko na employees wanakupea the hardest time ever, na kuwafuta kazi ni even more expensive.
Every month uko na bills za kulipa in the millions, end month kila mtu ako happy isipokuwa wewe juu uko na another 30 days kuraise another million. Na imagine all this trouble ndiyo net salary yako ikuwe 50k
Sometimes doh haitoshi unasema wacha ulipe the employees alafu KRA utawatumia yao by 9th, unajaribu kupata loan bank inakataa juu hauna shamba ya security, inafika 15th unapata weird calls, unashika unapata ni KRA, unawaambia utawalipa next Friday, wanakuambia Friday haiwezekani, labda Thursday. Inabidi uongee with one of your clients akulipe mapema, anakusomea akikuambia biz haifanywi hivo but anaitikia eventually.
Next week inafika unalipa KRA, SHA,NSSF, Housing Levy. Unahave some peace kidogo only to realize that next week ni end month na this time uko na deficit kubwa kushinda last month, and the cycle continues.
Kama uko 9-5 na uko sawa, I can’t advise you to quit. Heri ujaribu entrepreneurship in parallel but usiquit job yako. It feels good when you tell people that you quit your job to pursue your dream but you also need to understand that your dream will take time before it starts paying the bills, and it might also die before you eat a shilling from it.
He blinks once every 40 seconds. You blink every 5 to 10. China's Honor Guard trained him to slow the reflex that much. And he has no hearing protection, standing meters from four jet engines.
He's part of the ceremonial unit that has handled state arrivals since 1953. To make the parade roster, male candidates have to stand between 1.88 and 1.92 meters tall (around 6 foot 2 to 6 foot 4). Then the training starts. They wedge a playing card between his knees so he cannot slouch sideways, fix sharp pins inside his collar to punish any tilt of the head, and strap a wooden brace across his back to kill the habit of hunching forward. Each step is exactly 75 centimeters at 116 steps per minute. Each guard walks roughly 8,000 kilometers in a training year and grinds through 7 pairs of shoes doing it.
That part is hard. The standing still part is harder. Soldiers in this unit train to hold one position, completely motionless, for over three hours at a stretch.
The plane behind him is Air Force One, a modified Boeing 747 with four engines, each putting out 56,700 pounds of thrust. Up close, a 747 can hit roughly 140 decibels. That number is the pain threshold for the human ear, where sound stops being loud and starts being a physical attack on your inner ear. The US workplace safety agency says any 8-hour exposure above 85 decibels causes permanent hearing damage. At 140 the damage can be instant. Sharp bursts above that level are among the most destructive sounds the human ear can take.
The soldier has no visible earplugs or earmuffs. He's standing meters from four engines that can permanently destroy his hearing in seconds, holding a position he spent years training his body not to break.
🚨 𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚: During the match vs Bayern Munich, PSG goalkeeper Matvéi Safónov was purposely long kicking goal-kicks to result in a Bayern throw-in on their right side.
When Bayern played the throw in, PSG players would overload that area, put 2 players on Olise, and quickly win possession to start a counter.
This sequence happened over 5 times during the match, resulting in Olise losing possession, or Bayern playing an uncomfortable back pass, where PSG players could press higher up the pitch.
Luis Enrique was already praised for his unusual method of kicking the ball out of bounds to start high pressing from kick off, but this is next level. 😳🧠

I spent all day yesterday at a high school board meeting. Top on the agenda was 2019 financials & 2020 budget.
School has 900 pupils.
School charges exactly sh53,544 per year.
School has above average diet (3 eggs per week, meat 3 times a week etc)

Let me tell you about naked mole rats. This live underground throughout their lives. They eat root, tubers and bulbs underground without leaving their burrow. When they come across a tuber that's big, they don't try to finish it at once.
They practice a form of sustainable harvesting.They bore into the tuber and eat little out of the softer interior flesh. They deliberately leave the thin outer epidermis (skin) mostly intact. This keeps the plant alive and healthy, allowing it to continue growing or regenerate new tissue. They'll dig around their tunnels to look for other roots and do this. In a few days, they'll go back to the big tuber, which would have regenerated to eat a little again. They're smart not to overwork the tuber or kill it. They farm and bill with sense.
Do the same wit your successful elder brother.
The High Court has held that the in duplum rule applies to all lenders including microfinances. In Faulu Microfinance Bank Limited v Kilonzo, a borrower had taken a Kshs. 569,000 loan but defaulted, prompting the lender to claim over Kshs. 621,000. Despite the matter being undefended, the trial court applied the in duplum rule and reduced the recoverable amount to about Kshs. 145,000.
On appeal, the lender argued that the rule only applies to banks, not microfinance institutions. The High Court rejected that argument, holding that the rule is a matter of public policy meant to protect borrowers from excessive interest, and therefore binds all lenders. Bottom line: no lender can hide behind technicalities to inflate debt endlessly.
@FabrizioRomano@iamorjiemmanuel My dear Arsenal fans... Don't worry. Your next games is against a very well rested Manchester city and Newcastle team without any European football and you still have relegation battling West Ham to play.
You'll feel the pain but it won't kill you... YET. 😂😭
The most overlooked aspect of blood pressure and artery health:
Nitric oxide.
It relaxes your arteries and improves blood flow but by age 40, you've lost up to 50% of it.
Here are 9 foods that boost nitric oxide naturally:🧵
1. Beets.
Your bones are shrinking and you're calling it aging.
- Walk 7,000–10,000 steps daily. Not occasionally. Not when you feel like it. Every single day. Bone density doesn't negotiate with your schedule. It responds to load or it disappears. Those are the only two options.
- Eat calcium-rich foods. Dairy, sardines, tofu, broccoli, almonds. If you don't feed your body calcium consistently, it doesn't politely wait. It dissolves it straight from your bones to keep your heart running. Your skeleton is being cannibalized right now if your diet is poor.
- Get your vitamin D levels tested. Not assumed. Tested. You can swallow calcium every day and still be losing bone mass if your vitamin D is deficient. Most people are deficient. Most people also have no idea. That combination is exactly why osteoporosis is an epidemic nobody talks about until someone's hip shatters.
- Strength train. Heavy and consistently. Not yoga. Not a walk. Not stretching. Resistance training is the only stimulus that forces your body to build new bone tissue. Without it your bones are on a one way street and it doesn't go somewhere good.
- Take collagen seriously. Cartilage has almost no blood supply. That means once it's damaged it barely heals. You are not getting new cartilage. You are managing what you have left. Protect it now or spend the rest of your life managing the loss of it.
- Get your weight under control. Every single kilogram of excess body weight puts four times that pressure on your knee joints with every step. Not metaphorically. Mechanically. Your knees are doing the math whether you are or not.
- Drink water like your joints depend on it because they literally do. Cartilage is 70% water. Chronic dehydration doesn't just make you tired. It dries out the cushioning between your bones. You are grinding bone on bone in slow motion if you're chronically dehydrated and you won't feel it until it's too late to fully reverse.
- Eat anti-inflammatory food. Turmeric, ginger, berries, fatty fish. Chronic inflammation doesn't announce itself. It just quietly destroys tissue day after day while you eat ultra processed food and wonder why your knees ache at 38 and your hands hurt at 45.
- Stop sitting for more than 45 minutes without getting up. The human body was not engineered for chairs. Prolonged sitting compresses spinal discs, stiffens cartilage, and shuts down the muscles that protect your joints. The office chair is doing more damage than most people's worst habits and nobody puts a warning label on it.
- Stretch for 10 minutes every single day. Not when you're injured. Not when you can't move. Now. Today. Flexibility loss is silent and gradual until one morning you reach for something and something tears and the doctor asks how long it's been this bad and you realize you have no idea.
- Take omega-3s daily. Fish oil, fatty fish, flaxseed. Joint inflammation doesn't wait for you to be old. It starts in your 30s and builds quietly. Omega-3s are one of the few things with genuine clinical evidence for reducing joint inflammation and most people aren't getting anywhere near enough.
🇨🇳🇮🇷 Chinese civilians are crowd-sourcing Iran's air war — and it may be working.
On March 14, a Chinese engineer known as "Laohu Talks World" posted a viral tutorial — subtitled in Persian — detailing how Iran could use low-cost systems to shoot down a US F-35. It racked up tens of millions of views.
Five days later, Iran said it struck an F-35.
The creator is an alumnus of Northwestern Polytechnical University (under US sanctions), and is one of many Chinese STEM civilians voluntarily sharing military expertise online to aid Iran's war effort — with no payment or official backing.
Content ranges from F-35 targeting tactics to coordinates of US bases in the region.

A newborn sperm whale can’t swim. It starts sinking the second it’s born. If nobody pushes it to the surface, it drowns in mile-deep water.
On July 8, 2023, a sperm whale named Rounder went into labor off the coast of Dominica. Researchers from Project CETI, a $33 million AI initiative out of MIT, Harvard, and Northeastern that’s trying to decode whale language, happened to be there doing routine fieldwork. They had drones in the air and underwater microphones running. What they captured over the next six hours just got published in two papers, one in Science and one in Scientific Reports.
Eleven whales gathered at the surface before Rounder even started delivering. Her mother, Lady Oracle, was there. So was her daughter Accra. Three generations in the water. But the wild part: half those whales belonged to a completely separate bloodline that normally keeps its distance from Rounder’s family. On a typical day, these two family lines split off to hunt in different areas and rarely cluster together. For the birth, they all converged before labor started. The unrelated family somehow knew it was coming.
The delivery took 34 minutes. Sperm whale calves come out tail-first with their flukes still folded from the womb. They haven’t developed the oil-filled organ in their heads that helps adult whales float, so the moment they’re born, they’re dead weight in the ocean. Every adult whale in the group, related and unrelated, started taking turns pushing the calf up to breathe. They kept this rotation going for three hours. When a pod of pilot whales (known to be aggressive toward sperm whales) and a large group of Fraser’s dolphins showed up during delivery, the adults formed a wall around the newborn until the threat passed.
The underwater audio is where it gets interesting. CETI’s microphones picked up the whales changing their vocal patterns during the birth. The click-based sounds they use to talk to each other shifted at specific moments, and vowel-like structures appeared in the recordings. This builds on what CETI found in 2024 when they ran machine learning on over 8,700 recorded whale calls and discovered sperm whale communication isn’t a basic 21-sound code. It’s a system of about 300 distinct sound combinations, with the whales adjusting rhythm and timing in real time, speeding up and slowing down the way a musician does mid-performance. A 2025 follow-up from UC Berkeley found these clicks also contain vowel patterns, something scientists had assumed only humans could produce.
Sperm whales carry the largest brain of any animal on the planet. About 9 kg. Roughly six times heavier than yours. The evolutionary analysis in the new Science paper suggests this kind of cooperative birthing goes back over 36 million years, to the common ancestor of all toothed whales. The calf was spotted a year later, swimming with its family.
