9 Drinks to Have Before Intimacy to Last Longer Naturally.

- Thread - Image

1. Watermelon Juice

This is often called nature’s secret weapon. Watermelon is rich in something called “citrulline.” When you drink it, your body turns it into arginine, which relaxes your blood vessels.

It works very similarly to some medicines, but it’s totally natural. It improves blood flow to intimate areas, helping with stamina and sensitivity.Image
2. Beetroot Juice

It might not be your favorite flavor, but it is powerful. Beets are famous for being high in nitrates. Your body turns these nitrates into a gas that opens up your blood vessels.

Athletes drink this to run faster, and you can drink it to keep your energy up in the bedroom. It’s one of the most effective drinks for circulation.Image

Today marks four years since Russia’s full-scale invasion of #Ukraine.

Four years of senseless bloodshed. We continue to unequivocally condemn the violence and aggression and stand in solidarity with the people of Ukraine.

Revisit some of our coverage since the invasion⬇️
Four years ago, we joined over 100 organisations in solidarity with Ukrainians and particularly the journalists who found themselves on the frontline of the war: indexoncensorship.org/2022/02/statem…
British-Ukrainian poet and translator Steve Komarnyckyj looked back at the famine of 1932-33 and the eerie parallels with today's war:

1/ Four years on from the start of the Russian full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Russian warbloggers are reflecting on the changes that the war has wrought in Russia. Some Russian soldiers are wondering what it was all for. ⬇️ Image
2/ Nikita Tretyakov writes:

"Our varied thoughts and questions converge on one thing: what is going on out there, in the rear, while we are here, far from our families, loved ones, and past lives, defending the Motherland as best we can and seemingly honourably as possible?"
3/ "What is going on there in this very Motherland behind our backs?

Why does it feel more and more uncomfortable to walk around our cities in military uniform – now including Donetsk and Luhansk – every year? Is it even inappropriate?

🧵 1/10

How did India go from “Maoism is our biggest internal security threat” to “only a handful of districts remain”?

And here’s the real question: was it only about guns and operations—or about roads, rights, and the state finally showing up?

Left Wing Extremism (LWE) didn’t start in 2014.

Its roots go back to the Naxalbari uprising of 1967 and the later consolidation of CPI (Maoist) in 2004.

By 2010, violence had peaked: 1,936 incidents and 1,005 deaths (civilians + security forces).

So when people say “Modi eliminated Maoism,” the accurate claim is: the Modi years oversaw a steep, systematic roll-back of LWE’s geography, funding, and operational space, while pairing security pressure with development delivery.

But let’s unpack how that happened - step by step -because the method matters.

What changed on the ground?
What changed in incentives?
And what changed in state capacity?

This thread you can't miss! 🧵

2/10

First, the scale. Left-Wing Extremism (LWE) wasn’t merely an ideology; it was parallel control:

extortion,
“taxation,”
intimidation of tribals,
capture of forests and worksites,
disruption of schools,
roads, and elections.

The most revealing metric isn’t speeches; it’s the shrinking map.

In an official Parliament reply, the Government reported that LWE-affected districts fell from

126 → 90 (2018) → 70 (2021) → 38 (Apr 2024) → 18 (Apr 2025) → 11 (Oct 2025),

with only 3 categorised as “most affected.”

And the violence curve is even sharper:
from the 2010 peak to 374 incidents in 2024 (Govt summary) and deaths down to 150 in 2024.

Ask yourself: movements don’t lose territory like that unless something breaks - money, mobility, recruitment, or legitimacy.

So what exactly was targeted?

Not just cadres. The ecosystem.

3/10

The Modi-era approach can be summarised in one idea: stop treating LWE as a “single department problem.”

In 2015, the Centre approved a National Policy and Action Plan to address LWE; explicitly “multi-pronged”:

security measures + development + ensuring rights/entitlements + governance.

And operationally, in 2017, the Home Ministry articulated SAMADHAN:

Smart leadership,
Aggressive strategy,
Motivation/training,
Actionable intelligence,
Dashboard/KRAs,
Harness technology,
Action plan per theatre,
No access to financing.

Read that again. It’s not a slogan.
It’s a management model:

👉 intelligence-led ops (not random sweeps)

👉 measurable district targets (dashboard governance)

👉 tech + mobility (drones/comms/roads)

👉 finance choke (extortion networks disrupted)

Now the uncomfortable question: Why didn’t this happen earlier with the same intensity and coordination?

Because coordination, accountability, and last-mile delivery are everything in insurgency.

The graphics/results below are testimony to the success of this strategy!

🚨 Opus 4.6 is no longer the undisputed king of coding.

MiniMax M2.5 just matched it and in many agentic
scenarios, beat it.

All for 1/60th the price.

If you're building agents in 2026, stop scrolling 👇 Image
Meet MiniMax M2.5 | @MiniMax_AI

It's not just another open-source model trying to keep up.

It was built from scratch for one purpose:
Agents that run 24/7 without burning your budget.

They call it the "agent-verse" model.

After testing it that's exactly what it is.
The benchmarks don't lie.

SWE-Bench Verified:
→ M2.5: 80.2%
→ Claude Opus 4.6: 80.8%

Multi-SWE-Bench (multi-repo coding):
→ M2.5: 51.3%
→ Claude Opus 4.6: 50.3%

M2.5 doesn't just match Opus.
It beats it on real-world multi-repo tasks. Image

Zelenskyy: The Russians are playing games and aren’t serious about ending the war. They are very poor actors.

They are playing with Trump and the entire world. Putin thinks he looks convincing and can be trusted. No, he is a bad actor — FT.

Zelenskyy: Russia and Ukraine are at the “beginning of the end” of Europe’s biggest conflict.

Without firm Western security guarantees, Moscow will use any ceasefire to rebuild its forces for another assault.

2/
Zelenskyy: The EU must stop prevaricating and set a date for Ukraine’s accession — as early as 2027.

I want a date. I am asking for it. Let us not allow Russia to block Ukraine’s EU membership for 50 years.

THIS is why Airlines hate GROK⚠️

My flight was $1,260, I paid $118.
No points. No shady third-party apps.

Copy these 7 prompts and see the magic:
1/ Hidden Fare Window Finder

Prompt:
"I want to fly from [insert origin city/airport] to [insert destination] around [insert date range]. Act like a flight pricing analyst and tell me the cheapest time frame (days & hours) to book this route based on airline pricing patterns and historical trends."
2/ Flexible Dates Price Hack

Prompt:
"I want to fly from [insert city] to [insert destination] within [insert month]. Act like a travel hacker. Compare prices for all days in that month and tell me which exact dates are cheapest to depart and return, and why."

BREAKING: You no longer need to hire a designer.

Claude + Figma just replaced a $10,000 agency workflow in under 3 hours.

Here are 7 Claude + Figma prompt combos that build production-ready websites from scratch:

Bookmark this. Image
Last week, I tested 80+ prompt combinations across Claude and Figma.

Most gave generic results.
But 7 consistently produced agency-quality output.

Here’s the exact stack:
→ Claude for strategy, copy, logic & code
→ Figma for design, prototyping & handoff

Let’s break them down ↓
PROMPT 1: The Brand Strategist

Start here, before touching any design.

Ask Claude:
“You are a Brand Strategist at Pentagram. I’m building a [TYPE] website for [BUSINESS]. My audience is [DEMOGRAPHIC]. Create:
1) Brand positioning statement
2) Three unique value propositions
3) Tone-of-voice guide
4) Messaging hierarchy for the homepage”

This gives Figma a foundation to design from.

I finally understand why "act as an expert" prompts are destroying your results.

After 200+ tests across Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini I found what actually works.

It's called "Context Stacking" and it doesn't ask the AI to pretend anything.

Here's the technique ↓ Image
When you say "act as a senior developer" the model doesn't think like one.

It writes like one. Big difference.

It pattern-matches to how developers sound in training data.

Not how they actually solve problems.

You get confident-sounding output. Not expert-level thinking. Image
Real experts don't introduce themselves before solving problems.

They bring:

- Prior failures they've already ruled out
- Constraints they're working within
- The actual goal behind the task

So I stopped asking AI to "be" an expert.

I started giving it what an expert already has in their head.Image

MY WIFE WAS STRESSED ABOUT MONEY EVERYDAY.

BILLS PAID. ZERO SAVINGS.
Then I uploaded our expenses to Claude and things finally stabilized.

(The key change is at the last point read carefully)

Here are the 7 prompts I used :
1. Reality Check Audit

“Here are our last 3 months of expenses [paste]. Categorized by essentials, lifestyle, subscriptions, fees, and leaks.”
2. Spending Pattern Diagnosis

“Based on these categories [paste], highlight patterns causing stress (timing, categories, habits) and quantify the monthly damage.”

Zelenskyy: Today is exactly 4 years of Putin “taking Kyiv in 3 days.”

In this little bunker, Biden told me: “Volodymyr, you should leave.”

And here I said: “I need arms, not a taxi.”

We all were scared. But we don’t have another Ukraine.

1/
Zelenskyy: Millions of Ukrainians didn’t raise a white flag. But defended blue and yellow.

Russians thought they would be welcomed with flowers. But they only saw more people going to fight them.

Civilians were blocking Russian tanks as a living wall.

2/
Zelenskyy: In this bunker, at the beginning of the war, were talks, were cusses.

Because every sanction, and every shipment of weapons. We had to fight for them.

Fight for the world to belive in Ukraine and start helping.
