DÜNYA GÜNDEMİNİ ALTÜST EDEN PENGUEN AKIMI

Nihilist Penguin: Bir penguenin sürüsünden ayrılarak göze aldığı yolculuk

#penguin #nihilist #nietzche

Bu video viral olmadan çok önce, insanlar ona anlam yüklemeye çalışmadan 20 yıl önce çekildi. Antarktika'da kaydedilen, buzulların üzerinde sonsuzluğa yürüyen yalnız bir penguen...

Sadece bir penguen ve zaman.

Yıllar boyunca kimse neden yürüdüğünü, nereye gittiğini veya ne düşündüğünü bilmiyordu. Birileri ona kaybolmuş dedi. Bazıları depresyonda dedi. Bir kısım ise dalga geçti!

Ama bu klip bunca yıl boyunca hayatta kalmayı başardı. Çünkü bizi yansıtıyor. Nasıl mı?

I got a new DOS file transfer toy! Now, these have been around since the dawn of time, but let's talk about it: a MicroSD to LPT Printer Port Adapter. We'll give it a test on my Compaq LTE 5400. Time for a 🧵

First, if you are interested in reading about these, there is a thread on Vogons! Included in that thread is where I found the DOS drivers for it, you can go here for that, and to read about this device! vogons.org/viewtopic.php?…

Also, here's a few more perspective shots of it, captured from different angles.

🚨 🧵An Iranian activist associated with the opposition with testimony depicting the situation in Iran, as of yesterday, based on conversations with family members and acquaintances living in Iran:

Many are attacked at night in their homes. For example, two nights ago in the Funk area (Chahardavari—Tehran), gunshots were heard. The forces searched for wounded who fled and hid in friends' homes. If a chase occurs, they shoot directly at unprotected civilians. Last night, also in Shiraz (Vasal area), during a night raid on the home of one of the protesters, he was thrown out of the window and killed on the spot.

In southern Iran, the situation is even worse: some have fled to the sea and are hiding on fishing boats, while drones and boats of the Revolutionary Guards are searching for them nonstop. In the cities of the Kurdistan, Mazandaran, Golestan, and West Azerbaijan provinces, people have been forced to live temporarily in the mountains.

The unlikelihood of giving your 2nd year 6th round pick emergency 3 quarterback the keys the following year has become a lot more likely with just how limited the Steelers options are in 2026. Might feel different after the predraft process is done but for now ya start Howard.

Or at least give him an honest camp competition. Could be with a rookie (again need to let predraft process unfold) or a middle of the road veteran.

Willis is the only FA I feel like would be the unquestioned starter besides Rodgers if u count him. And I like Willis but that’s prob gonna be a big commitment if they give him the $ he could demand. If u sign Willis u prob aren’t drafting QB in 2027 unless it’s a massive failure

I can see a bright future for copper, uranium and of course, silver. Our infrastructure will need to be upgraded for the increasing demands from industry (AI, solar, EVs) consumer & commercial electronics too. All that take electricity.

All that electricity will need a stronger infrastructure:
• Copper🥉for the wires
• Uranium⚛️for the power
• Silver🥈(tech = ~59% of the demand)

I would rank silver 1st, copper 2nd and uranium 3rd, but all will be needed.

There's more, but these will give you something to think about.

I'll be replying to this post with more info to expand on what's happening.

Future Power Demands and Market Impacts
• The convergence of AI data centers, solar energy expansion, electric vehicles (EVs), and emerging battery tech like Samsung's solid-state silver-carbon (Ag-C) batteries is set to drive a massive surge in global electricity demand—potentially doubling data center consumption alone by 2030, with AI contributing up to 35-50% of that load.

• This "electrification tsunami" will strain resources, boosting demand for key metals like silver, copper, and uranium, while necessitating major infrastructure overhauls.
• Overall projections show U.S. data center power rising from 35 GW in 2024 to 78 GW by 2035, while global figures could hit 945 TWh annually.
• This "electrification tsunami" will strain resources, boosting demand for key metals like silver, copper, and uranium, while necessitating major infrastructure overhauls.

Antes de ser deputado, antes de ser um fenômeno comunicacional, Nikolas Ferreira foi uma coisa bem mais perigosa pra política tradicional…

um produto nativo de internet.

Puxa o fio.

Internet não premia “boa intenção”. Premia atenção sustentada.

Nikolas entendeu isso cedo e avançou 10 casas enquanto 99% dos políticos ainda apostavam em card de bom dia.

2022 foi a confirmação brutal: deputado federal mais votado do Brasil.

O segredo de Nikolas, nem segredo é…

Padrão e consistência. O algoritmo ama.

Toda ação vira série, toda série vira capítulo, todo capítulo termina com “continua…”.

5 Natural Ways to CURE Erectile Dysfunction (ED) Permanently

(Most men realize this too late…)

1. Improve Blood Circulation (Your D!ck Needs Flow)

-Thread-🧵

•Weak erections = Poor circulation.

If your blood vessels are clogged, your penis won’t get enough blood.

What kills circulation?
❌ Being overweight
❌ Sitting too much (weak pelvic muscles)
❌ Processed food, sugar, alcohol
❌ Smoking & excessive drinking

•How to fix it:
✅ Train your legs (squats, lunges, deadlifts)
✅ Take L-Arginine & Citrulline (boosts circulation)
✅ Walk 10,000+ steps per day
✅ Strengthen your pelvic floor (Kegels & reverse Kegels)

✅ Eat circulation-boosting foods (beets, dark chocolate, watermelon)

Good blood flow = Harder, stronger, longer-lasting erections.

The unjustified ICE shooting of Alex Pretti, a thread. 🧵 In this thread, I’ll show how the shooter knew that Alex had been disarmed.

First, there are 1-2 shooters. I’ll call them black hat and brown hat.

Black hat shoots first. At the time of the first shot, black hat has his gun out. I’ll return to brown hat later, but it’s important to initially focus on the fact that black knew that Alex was disarmed.

Before the shooting, black hat watches another officer remove Alex’s weapon from its holster.

HOW TO GET A HOT GF IN 11 DAYS 🔥

DAY 1: Text EVERY Girl 🗨️👥

1. Text EVERY Girl (The Shotgun) 🗨️👥

Stop putting pussy on a pedestal.

Text every girl who’s a 6/10 or higher.

You can’t hit the jackpot if you only buy one ticket.

Abundance kills neediness.

The more you talk to, the less you care about any single one. 📱

2. Kill The "Hey" (Pattern Interrupt) 👋

"Hey" is for losers. Open with a tease, a challenge, or an observation.

"Your dog is cute, but you look trouble."

Stand out or get ignored.

Boring men get filtered; interesting men get dates.

You paid $130 to Angi. So did 4 others for the same lead.

Your competitor got the $9k job - This happens 10x a month.

DO THIS INSTEAD:

Local SEO is how you own the neighborhood.

When you rank #1 on Google Maps, the lead is exclusive.

They didn't click a "get 5 quotes" button.

They clicked YOUR profile because of YOUR reputation.

Think about the logic:

Platforms like Angi and Yelp don't sell you customers. They sell you a race.

The platform makes $650 off a single homeowner by selling the same lead 5 times.

You’re literally funding your competitor's marketing budget.

Here are 7 steps to stop renting and start owning with Local SEO:

1 HILO LA DESTRUCCIÓN DE LA LÓGICA

Antiguamente ( hasta antes de ayer) las cosas eran ciertas o no eran ciertas
Eso se llamaba LÓGICA
La LÓGICA era la que ordenaba el pensamiento, la dialéctica y el comportamientos de las personas civilizadas

2 Ningún europeo del Siglo XX aceptaría que le dijesen que una cosa es cierta y su contrario también
O una cosa u otra.
Pero ha pasado... “ALGO”

3 Ese ALGO es la GRAN MANIPULACIÓN que ha destruido la lógica en EUROPA
La operación PSYOPS empezó con eso que llaman unos pandemia y otros Plandemia
Por aquel entonces los POLITICOS y sus lacayos los o PERIODISTAS predicaban DOS COSAS

THINKING OUTSIDE THE BOX | How to solve Kerala’s train travel problem once and for all with ₹150 crore? 🧵

In 2012, the Oomen Chandy government came up with a plan to build a high-speed rail corridor from Mangalore to Trivandrum. The estimated cost was around ₹1.18 lakh crore. It was planned to be funded through a Japanese loan from JICA. The project was opposed by the then opposition parties. The project was eventually dropped.

In 2020, the present Left government under Pinarayi Vijayan brought back the high-speed rail project, named SilverLine, with a cost estimate of ₹64,000 crore. These numbers were rejected by NITI Aayog, which estimated the cost at around ₹1.2 lakh crore. There were strong public protests against forceful land acquisition, and the project was dropped by the government in 2022. We also strongly opposed it, as our estimate was that the final cost would easily cross ₹1.5 lakh crore, ticket prices would go up to around ₹6,000 to make it viable, and there would not be enough ridership.

Now it is BJP’s turn. They opposed both earlier projects and have now come up with a new proposal using DMRC’s former chairman, Padma Vibhushan Dr. E. Sreedharan, who later joined BJP. This high-speed rail proposal, unlike SilverLine, is 90% elevated and ends at Kannur instead of Kasargod or Mangalore. The estimated cost is around ₹200 crore per kilometre, with an overall cost of more than ₹80,000 crore. Fair enough.

However, the estimate of ₹200 crore per kilometre looks like an underestimate when we look at the Mumbai–Ahmedabad bullet train. That project started with a cost of ₹216 crore per kilometre and has now reached ₹393 crore per kilometre, even though it is only half completed. By the time it is finished, the cost could touch ₹500 crore per kilometre, if not more.

Leaving these big and fancy projects aside, let us come back to the core problem and look at it differently. Take a close look at this video. This shows the weekly train schedule from Kannur towards the south.

If you observe carefully, the green-coloured trains are those that run within Kerala, while the red ones are outstation trains that either terminate at stations in Kerala or pass through the state. What does this tell us? (1/8)

Now, if we look at all 51 different trains running in a week from Kannur to Shornur direction, we can see that there are only 9 trains that run purely from North to South Kerala. Out of these, only six trains run daily, since Vande Bharat trains run only six days a week and the Shatabdi runs only five days a week.

Most of the other trains are outstation trains that pass through Kerala at different times of the day and week. Out of these, 33 trains are infrequent, of which 23 run only once a week and 9 run twice a week. Only the Rajdhani Express runs three times a week.

Despite repeated requests from all sides to add more trains between Mangalore and Trivandrum, which is one of the busiest routes in the country, we are still unable to add more services. For example, the national average occupancy for Vande Bharat trains is 105.03% (as of June 2025), while Kerala routes consistently cross 160%.

The usual response from Indian Railways is that Kerala’s tracks are already choked with too many trains, and there are no free slots available to add new services. They may be right in their assessment of the current situation. But what if we think outside the box? (2/8)

Now, if we remove all outstation trains from our consideration, we are left with only 8 trains that run from Mangalore to Trivandrum, including one Vande Bharat that starts from Kasargod instead of Mangalore. Out of these, only Vande Bharat can be considered a true express train, with just 11 stops and a total travel time of 8 hours 40 minutes.

Take a look at the number of stops and travel time of these trains:

Vande Bharat – 11 stops (8h 40m)
Netravati Express – 48 stops (13h 45m)
Parasuram Express – 56 stops (13h 32m)
Ernad Express – 40 stops (13h 55m)
Trivandrum Express – 46 stops (13h 55m)
Maveli Express – 30 stops (12h 40m)
Malabar Express – 53 stops (14h 15m)

Why do you think the Maveli Express, with only 30 stops, takes almost the same time as trains with many more stops?
Why do you think the Ernad Express, with 40 stops, takes more time than the Parasuram Express, which has 56 stops?

The answers point to the same problem. These trains are often halted in between to allow outstation trains to overtake them. The schedules of these Kerala trains are planned based on free slots available after adjusting for around 40 outstation trains running through the state. Since outstation trains cannot be held for long at stations, Kerala-only trains are pushed into slots with fewer clashes. This kind of scheduling is mathematically complex, and implementing it in real life is even harder.

Our railway officials are trying their best to accommodate these demands, but the nature of the problem itself is the real issue.

The schedule works only on paper. In reality, trains coming from North India rarely run on time by the time they reach Mangalore. How can we expect a train starting from Rishikesh to arrive at 1:55 AM every Wednesday at Kannur without fail? On many days, it will be delayed by hours, throwing other train schedules off track. Add to this goods trains and local trains, and any clean scheduling becomes almost impossible. (3/8)

Alberta Prosperity Project (APA)'s Jeffrey Rath sued the government to transfer ownership of Alberta oil sands to the Mikisew Cree.
Eva Chipiuk filed APA's application. She once repped clients who opposed the Trans Mountain pipeline.

These are your heroes, Alberta?

Another of Rath's cases ended up setting precedent. After its completion governments were mandated to consult with First Nations bands on all such projects.

Rath claims that Ottawa is preventing Alberta prosperity but Rath is responsible for creating these regulations!

/2 Rath won a years-long case in favour of Tallcree Nation. Was it due to his skill as a lawyer? No.
Rath waited out the Harper government because, as he repeatedly told the band, he had contacts close to Trudeau. When Trudeau won, so did Rath.
The band eventually sued him:

Kumyangjang-ni Muharebesi(25-27 Ocak 1951),Kore Savaşı’nın kaderini değiştiren ve Türk askerinin süngü hücumundaki ustalığını tüm dünyaya kanıtlayan destansı bir zaferdir.

Çin birliklerinin sayıca üstünlüğüne rağmen, Türk Tugayı’nın sergilediği bu kahramanlık, müttefik kuvvetlerin moralini en alt seviyeden zirveye taşımıştır.

I am 39. Married 8 years.

I learned 4 phrases that de-escalate any argument with my wife in under 60 seconds.

Being “right” is less important than being connected.

Here are the phrases:

❗❗Must read❗❗

1. “You might be right. Help me understand.”

2. “I hear you. You’re saying... [repeat her words].”

3. “That makes sense. I didn’t see it that way.”

4. “We’re on the same team. What do you need right now?”

> Why these work:

• They lower the fire. No blame. No attack.

• They show care. People calm down when they feel seen.

• They buy time. Calm brains solve problems.

Most guys give lazy compliments:

“You’re pretty.”

“Nice outfit.”

But the ones that make her think of you at night?

1. “You have this energy that makes people feel calm just being around you.”

She’s never heard that.

It hits her emotionally, not just physically.

And it makes you seem intuitive.

2. “You’re effortlessly charming like you don’t even try, but everyone notices you.”

This flatters her personality and her subconscious power.

She’ll replay it.
