Starting a logistics company in Kenya has taught me that people will forgive a business for being expensivep but
they'll rarely forgive you for being unreliable. We continue learning.

An investigation by Gamers Nexus found that some LG smart TVs can scan devices connected to your Wi-Fi and capture audio even when the screen is off.

The TVs can also collect information about nearby Wi-Fi networks and what users watch for targeted advertising.

Youngings, if you got into CS because of how tech was in the 2010s lower your expectations.

If you’re in it for the love of the game, keep grinding opportunities are spontaneous and they better find you ready.

Kuna jamaa nilikua mimeheshimu sana kitambo untill one time we found ourselves stuck after a vehicle malfunction along the old thika road . After failing to do first aid mechanical fixture we decided to wait for daybreak since it was already past 10pm .

Wanaume wanne na jamaa ndiye alikua anasumbua ati Ako na njaa every 30min buana . Sisi wengine tulikua tunasinzia kidogo jamaa anasema njaa itamuua . Around 5am chania ikapita tukasema weka huyu jamaa Nairobi . By the time we got the car fixed it was 5 pm and only then did we eat .
A skill that every man should practice is going to bed hungry. Every man will face situations where sleeping hungry whether you have money or not will present itself. It could be a vehicle faliure,police arrest or the many other emergencies that stalk a man's life . We cannot stop addressing the problem to feed you like a pregnant woman .

The banana in your kitchen is a sterile mutant that can't reproduce. Every single one is a clone, and nearly the entire global export supply traces back to one plant raised in an English greenhouse in the 1830s.

Wild bananas are stuffed with hard seeds the size of peppercorns. Barely any flesh. Around 7,000 years ago, farmers in New Guinea stumbled on rare mutants carrying three sets of chromosomes instead of two. An odd number can't split evenly during reproduction, so seed-making fails and the plant pours everything into flesh. Those tiny black specks in the middle of your banana are the remains of seeds that never developed.

Perfect fruit, one catch. No seeds means no planting. Growing another one requires cutting a shoot off the base and sticking it in the ground.

A clone.

Back in the 1830s, the Duke of Devonshire's gardener raised one of these plants at Chatsworth House. His family name was Cavendish. Cuttings descended from that greenhouse now make up 99% of bananas exported on Earth, genetically identical from Ecuador to the Philippines.

Identical genes means a fungus that kills one plant kills all of them. And it already happened. Gros Michel, the banana everyone ate before 1960, was wiped out commercially by a soil fungus called Panama disease. The industry quietly swapped in the Cavendish, a lookalike that resisted it, and most shoppers never noticed their banana had been replaced.

A new strain called TR4 kills Cavendish too. No cure exists, the spores survive in soil for decades, and it has spread to more than 20 countries. Late 2025 it reached Ecuador, the world's biggest exporter.

The world already lost its banana once and got handed a body double. The body double is dying the same way.

The Periodic Table Symbol for lead is 'Pb,' which comes from the Latin 'plumbum,' meaning "lead."

Early pipes were made of lead, so people who worked with pipes became 'plumbers.'
