Stubb: We need to reverse the narrative that Putin is winning the war in Ukraine. He is not.
He tried to take over Ukraine. He failed. He tried to stop NATO from expanding. Also failed. He tried to keep NATO’s defense spending down. It’s now at 5%. 1/

Stubb: My big fear is that the Russians are going to say “nyet” [no to a deal on Ukraine].
Ukraine, the US, and Europe are now on the same page, there is a clear some progress in negotiations. But it is still unclear what the Russians are going to do. 2/

Stubb: The US is able to project power, but Russia is not.
Put simply, what the US did in Venezuela in less than 24 hours is what Putin tried — and failed — to do in Kyiv four years ago.
One million died in casualties later, here we are. 3/

Pakistan-Administered Kashmir Assembly: Political Elites Enabled the Seizure of Kashmir House While Invoking Suffering in Indian-Administered Kashmir
Thread
Thread
The outgoing PM of Pakistan-administered Kashmir continues to occupy 8 rooms @ Kashmir House in Islamabad more than 2 months after being removed from office, raising questions about the use of public property & the steady expansion of political privileges for political elites.
On 17 November, the then Prime Minister was ousted through a vote of no confidence initiated by his coalition partner, the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP), and supported by another coalition partner, the Pakistan Muslim League–Nawaz (PML-N).

Due to the Shraddha of Maharaja Bakht Singh, the Rathore army was not fighting and was sitting in its camp, when suddenly the Rathore - Maratha army attacked.
The Marathas attacked with 5 thousand soldiers, some sources also mention an army of 10 to 15 thousand led by Ram Singh Rathore, the conclusion is that the Maratha- Rathore army was more than 5 thousand and also had artillery
There is mention of 10 thousand Rathore warriors being killed in this war, but 10 thousand Rathore soldiers were killed by 10 to 15 thousand Maratha-Rathore (Ram Singh) soldiers, not by 2 or 3 thousand Marathas.
@ProfTimNoakes @drjamesdinic Hi Tim. I believe the anaplerotic theory was dispelled a while ago, and few refer to it now. What's been show in several studies is that adenine nucleotide loss & increases in IMP occur with prolonged exercise, most prominently in glycogen depleted fibres...
@ProfTimNoakes @drjamesdinic The increase in IMP is also attenuated with CHO ingestion. It's true that the mechanism isn't exactly clear, but those findings are consistent with the view that there is at least a temporary mismatch between oxidative ATP resynthesis and ATP usage...
@ProfTimNoakes @drjamesdinic occurring as a result of reduced CHO oxidation. Also, in vitro, oxidative capacity is much higher using CHO than fat derived substrates...
This morning Gab received a letter from the French government demanding that we ban certain users within 24 hours or they were going to ban Gab from France. We will obviously not be complying.
One of the accounts they demanded the we ban has never posted. This foreign government thinks they can just force an American company to ban random users who haven't broken our guidelines or US law. Insane. Not happening. gab.com/Breivik2083

@raphaels7 You probably shouldn't get involved in stuff you have NOT researched.
Tim is now proposing a HYPOGLYCEMIA FOCUSED explanation for exercise fatigue, despite the fact that NUMEROUS BIOPSY STUDIES have PROVEN THIS WRONG.
He is even going against HIS OWN RESEARCH ON THIS (see screenshots).

A BRIEF HISTORY OF 'CUT' GENERALIZATION AND WHY THIS INFORMATION IS IMPORTANT

In most countries, "routine" circumcision has actually never become generalized.

The U.S. is the only Western, non-Muslim/Jewish majority nation where circumcision remains a majority practice,

Current Trend (2025): National newborn rates have slipped to roughly 50–60%.

PART 1
While circumcision is one of the oldest surgical procedures in history, its "generalization" as a routine medical practice (rather than a religious or tribal rite) occurred primarily
in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, specifically within the English-speaking world.
Today, global prevalence sits at roughly 37% to 39%, but the reasons for its spread vary significantly by region and era.

9 Psychological Techniques to Control a Woman's Mind
1- The Zeigarnik Effect: The Obsession with the Unfinished
The human brain hates incomplete things. When a task or conversation is left unfinished, it will think about it over and over again until it reaches a conclusion.
If you cut off a conversation when emotion is at its peak, she will remain stuck on it, desperate to conclude it.
If you don't answer certain questions, his mind will race trying to figure it out.
Never be an easy equation to solve. Be the mystery it seeks to unravel.

2- Dopaminergic Conditioning: Addiction to Uncertainty
Casinos make billions from unpredictable rewards. That's what makes a slot machine addictive.
If she knows exactly how you're going to react, she'll get tired of you. But if one day you're warm and the next day distant, if sometimes you respond to her immediately and other times you ignore her, her brain will subconsciously try to predict your behavior.
Uncertainty is a drvg. The more ups and downs you give her, the more emotionally dependent she will become on you.
