Let me tell you something, supporting your own team brings stress, anxiety, and heartbreak.
But hatewatching? It is pure and unadulterated. You lose absolutely nothing if they win, but if they choke, it’s the greatest shot of dopamine known to man. True hate watching isn’t just a feeling, it’s an art
The paint on the exterior of a black tank is purely cosmetic. The tank underneath is still doing its job.
Algae need two things to colonize a water tank: light and warmth. Photosynthesis works the same way in your tank as it does in a lake. Black polyethylene blocks virtually all visible light from reaching the water. No light, no photosynthesis, no algae.
Kenya sits between 15 and 27°C year-round. That’s the exact optimal growth range for most freshwater algae species. A translucent or lightly colored tank in Nairobi is a petri dish. Green slime on the walls within weeks. Biofilm buildup that clogs pipes and breeds bacteria.
The artist here is Daisy Buyanzi (@yanzi_arts), a Nairobi painter. The flowers are genuinely stunning. The tank underneath is still black. The light-blocking material is intact. The water is fine.
The replies are debating aesthetics vs function when there’s no actual tradeoff here. She painted over the solution without removing it. That’s the whole point everyone is missing.
The boring color is doing more engineering work than any other feature of the tank. Buyanzi just made it beautiful without breaking anything.
Patrice Evra: “I really don't understand the lack of support behind Michael Carrick; he's one of us and he's doing very well.
There's been negative analysis from Scholesy, but also from Roy Keane and Gary Neville. It annoys me because we want to be in the top four, and those comments are unnecessary. But this is what you do when you work in TV. You can't be positive; you have to be negative.
Most of these guys get a managerial job and get fired straightaway. I said to Neville: "It's easy to talk on TV. When you were at Valencia, they asked you for paella, and you gave them fish and chips.
People can't forget what they have done as a manager. As players, they're legends, but as managers, they haven't done a great job.”
