I recently learned something amazing about the Arctic - & my tiny mind is blown.
In my ignorance, I've always believed it's featureless & barren. But now I've learned what's underneath it - & if THAT was on dry land, it'd be a wonder of the modern world.
Buckle up!

This is Mikhail Lomonosov (1711-1765): Russian polymath, scientist, writer - a lesser-known Isaac Newton.
He discovered the law of conservation of mass in chemical reactions, first saw Venus has an atmosphere, founded some of the key principles of modern geology...

...and a town, a lunar crater, a *Martian* crater, a satellite, a porcelain factory (!) and an asteroid have all been named after him.
And at some point, as legend has it, he predicted there was something MASSIVE under the Arctic ice.

. @PunchbowlNews would you like to comment on this business model I've reversed engineered of how you keep @LeaderJohnThune in line?
@PunchbowlNews @LeaderJohnThune Punchbowl, would you also like to comment on how virtually every major sponsor of yours has donated to John Thune for a total of 1.2 million?
@AndrewDesiderio , any comments?

The Covid origins cover up showed that top virologists - some are US intel assets - suffered an abrupt loss of intelligence or became parties to a conspiracy to shut down public discussion of a catastrophic lab leak in Wuhan.
By 2018, these virologists knew gain-of-function bat coronavirus experiments were planned or ongoing in Wuhan and the scientists there were making chimeric, genetically modified viruses out of sequences that weren't shared with the public or other scientists.
Yet, when Covid emerged, these same virologists authored or ghost authored influential papers claiming a lab origin was a conspiracy theory.

Imagine if, in Jan 2020, US intel agencies & the public had been told that scientists in Wuhan had been collecting close relatives of SARS-CoV-2 from a mine with unexplained pneumonia cases, they had been making tons of chimeric viruses with published & unpublished sequences, sometimes leading to surprise gain-of-function (virus growth and lethality in humanized mice), and said they would put novel furin cleavage sites into novel SARS-like viruses, all at BSL-2 (not high containment), and 3 of the scientists in that exact lab had a Covid-like illness in November 2019.
I think we could've skipped the whole bat soup, pangolin, raccoon dog, frozen foods saga.

Building a professional trading infrastructure doesn't require a Silicon Valley budget.
It requires a focus on uptime, security, and redundancy.

Most traders start with a cheap VPS. They eventually realize it lacks the CPU power for heavy backtesting and the security required for live capital.
Our brains want the easiest path, but "easy" usually means vulnerable.
We need a setup that handles data crunching and protects against hacks.

I rent a dedicated hardware server in a professional data center.
The $100/month covers the hardware rent, high-speed connection, electricity, and a second working day hardware replacement guarantee.
Specs: AMD Ryzen (mid-range) with plenty of memory.
Benefit: No shared resources. Full power for backtests on large datasets.

This orbiter is already emotionally intimate, knows her vulnerabilities and complaints about you.
When arguments arise, she turns to him for comfort, and that support can quickly turn into attraction, especially if he is a high-value man.

Does God Hear My Prayers? 🧵
Sometimes it seems like when we pray that God doesn’t hear our prayers. Our situation doesn’t seem to change, and the thing we requested doesn’t happen. Yet Scripture assures us: God does hear, and He does answer—though not always as we expect.

Psalm 34:17-19
The righteous cry, and the LORD heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles.
The righteous cry, and the LORD heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles.
The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all.

This is one of the older FM-versions. I was managing PSG (pre-Qatar era) and I had a sublime German newgen coming through the ranks, Sascha Schreiber. He was good, like potential Ballon d'Or winner good. /1

@nocontextfm1 When he was 21 or so, a player from Le Havre broke Schreiber's leg, stalling his development for 8 months and robbing me of my potential star. I decided to take my revenge by fucking destroying Le Havre. I was quite methodical about it all too. For starters, ... /2
@nocontextfm1 I tried to starve them of income. Like every single one of their players with an expiring contract was snapped up. I didn't need them, stuck them in my B-squad and generally sold them for peanuts to teams that were relegation fodder, just to spite Le Havre. /3
EXCLUSIVE: 1/ 18 years ago I wrote a 95-page report predicting when and why the US would attack Iran - and every consequence now unfolding. This is about seizing Iran's oil just as US shale enters terminal decline 🧵bylinetimes.com/2026/03/10/tru…
2/ Something massive just happened that almost nobody is talking about. US shale oil the engine of American global dominance for 15 years - has peaked. This is not a forecast. It already happened. And it changes everything.
3/ Trump's own Energy Dept projected US oil peaking at 14m barrels/day in 2027, then entering sustained decline through 2050. But weeks before the war, new EIA data showed even that was too optimistic. Production peaked at 13.6m in 2025, will drop to 13.3m by 2027

1/ Fundraising for the Russian army has been declining steeply for some time, leaving soldiers without essential equipment and supplies. A Russian warblogger explains that it's because soldiers are now seen as being recruited from the ranks of Russia's unwanted underclasses. ⬇️
2/ Russia's professional army was decimated in the first months of the war in Ukraine. Losses were replaced by mobilising 300,000 men from September-October 2022 onwards. They were recruited from across society and were widely supported by the Russian public.
3/ The political costs of mobilisation were high, however, so the government turned instead to recruiting the marginalised and disadvantaged. This has included convicts, drug addicts, alcoholics, debtors, and poverty-stricken ethnic minorities from remote regions of Russia.
