Do Football Players wash or rewear their Jerseys? Well, to be frank, the answer depends largely on the level of the game the player is at. At the elite level, matchday jerseys are almost never washed for reuse. In fact, top clubs provide two or three fresh shirts per player per match. One for the first half, a potential half-time change, and a spare for blood or heavy staining. The reason is nothing serious. It is partly practical, partly commercial. Sponsor visibility on television requires kits that look sharp under floodlights throughout the full ninety minutes. Club's kit deals are worth hundreds of millions. They are not optimally fit for purpose when they are creased, faded. Sometimes, after the final whistle, those jerseys enter a whole new world of their own. Some go to opponents in the post-match swap tradition that has existed for decades. Others go to fans, to charity auctions, or into a player's personal collection. Players themselves almost never wash a single one, and that is entirely by design. Clubs have a kitman that handles everything: collecting dirty training gear, laundering base layers, and making sure fresh kits are ready for the next session. Some players have cultures of their own too. John Terry took it even further with boots, reportedly wearing three separate pairs per match. One for warmup, another for the first half and a third for the second half. If you are wondering what happens in knockout games that spillover into extra time, don't worry. You are not alone. I am wondering too. The story is however very different further down the football pyramid. Players in smaller clubs wash and reuse the same pool of jerseys across multiple games simply because the budget does not allow for anything else. The 2020 COVID lockdown gave a rare glimpse of this gap: Manchester United players were asked to take their training kits home and wash them themselves, something many of them had genuinely never done before in their professional careers. Not because they were lazy. Just because it had never been their job. And yeah-the unsung heroes in all of this are the kitmen. They arrive earliest, leave latest, and make sure every player walks out looking exactly right. Some of them are the ones that do the actual cleaning. Have you learned something today?

A chief owned all the wells in a village. Every morning, people lined up to buy water. The price kept rising. The people grumbled quietly. "This is too much." But when they reached the front, they paid and left. One day, a young man asked his father, "Why don't we dig our own well?" His father muttered, "Shhh. The chief has guards. They will come at night. Just pay and stay quiet." "But Papa, we are many. The guards are few," the boy responded. The father whispered, "Yes, but what if they remember our faces? Better to suffer than be singled out." So they kept paying. The price kept rising. Families bathed once a week. Children drank less water. Still, they paid. The chief watched from his balcony and smiled. "I don't even need guards. Fear is cheaper than force. As long as they fear what might happen more than they hate what is happening, they'll never resist." A council member asked him, "What if they realise they outnumber us?" The chief laughed. "They know. But each waits for someone else to speak first. While they wait, I raise the price." The prison with no walls is the one where every man guards his own chains.

@ArinVerma1910 Hey Arin, It's great connecting with you.

Some breakdowns I’ll post soon: • Why UPI scaled faster than credit cards • Why EMI benefits banks more than you • How HFT firms actually make money Do let me know if you want me to write about something specific Let's get the ball rolling lads

I'm Arin. I work as a Quant at BlackRock by day. By night, I break down how money, math, and tech actually work - Shazam's Fourier transforms, How Special Relativity and General Relativity influence your GPS, why your EMI calculation hides more math than you think, how Zerodha hit 15.8M users on $0 ad spend Built a 50K+ audience on LinkedIn doing long-form versions of this. Now doing it here - sharper, denser, less fluff. If you're into structural breakdowns of how things actually work under the hood, I'd advice you to stick around

A white expatriate seeing this and he'll be like: "fucking Africans"

If you’re African, develop a habit of reading research papers in your domain, especially now in the AI era. Courses are great and all but you get to a point you start to see patterns emerge, things become cyclical and repetitive especially if you’re like me and you care more about the knowledge. Research papers show you what people are experimenting with and what their results are. They show you where the industry is headed and the pieces being figured out and if you’re lucky or simply just badass enough, you’ll see a connection that nobody else has seen and you just might be positioned to act on it faster or in a better way than most since it’s in your domain anyways.

@oakcha @_apex_divine Asin eh. I swear. Exxon, NLNG, nnpc, dpr, slb, Weatherford, GE, cypher, etc But on a serious note, I should have left Lagos to go school at uniport. Most of my classmates from FSTC, Yaba studied at unilag and they're doing well now.

@_apex_divine During my days in Uniport. Na shell, chevron, total , agip , halli, slum, baker all man dey target . Who big 4 EPP that time

Reasons why I do say Students from CU, Unilag , Babcock and co get access to opportunities early. If you ask me na during my Nysc I Sabi wetin BIg 4 be😹😹😹😹😹😹

@DellaxruzD @Wizarab10 @callmeMEJE Stop being a nitwit, brother...

@Wizarab10 @callmeMEJE But they haven’t called you out yet. Are you scared? That means you’re a culprit.

Let me clarify here before they lump everyone together. I do not charge money to raise money for anybody. In fact, for everyone I’ve raised money for, I contribute my personal money to the cause. I cannot ask the public to raise money for someone and I’m not contributing to it. You cannot fake kindness. It is not sustainable. Importantly, you cannot make such promises to raise the complete funds. It is public money, you can’t guarantee how much people are willing to part with and you can’t force it out of them.

I missed you my broooo

Mathematics is difficult for many Africans. After about 20 years, I went to look for the best physics student in my class then, so he could contribute to this book but I found out that he has veered into another world. Now, he instructed me to use the help of ChatGPT. I only wanted him to help me with mathematical equations, on sheets of paper, to be scanned onto the pages of this book, to make it possible for people to read and understand how poverty can be solved through drawings. It was not worth it. He couldn’t do it any more. How does a genius like that last in a country where a genius can easily be demoralized and made to lose his natural intelligence?

The endgame of competence is simple: you become so skilled, so resourceful, and so strategically embedded that whether it’s a company, a relationship, or a project, the rational move for everyone involved is to keep you, reward you, and bet on you, because losing you would cost them more than they’re willing to pay.

Happy to announce that the latest version of VulnBank is now live! Last month, VulnBank turned one year old and crossed 600+ stars on GitHub. I had several ideas in mind for a major update, but my schedule didn’t permit me to work on them at the time. Fast forward to this month, I was discussing the plan with @_aligorithm (a.k.a. “My Liege”) and mentioned how I hadn’t had the time to execute those ideas. He told me not to worry and said he would revamp the whole frontend while I focused on implementing the new functionalities. We got to work on it, and now it’s finally ready. New features in this release: - Modern UI with Dark/Light Mode - Admin Dashboard with stats and analytics (including some GraphQL API bugs 👀) - Account Suspension and User Management - User Bio Update functionality - Virtual Card Funding supporting multiple currencies and crypto (USD, NGN, GBP, JPY, QAR, BTC, ETH) PS: If your country’s currency isn’t listed yet, drop a comment and I’ll add it in the next update. I’m really curious to see who will be the first to uncover the new bugs in these features. (Vulnbank.org) Happy hacking!!!

SPEED!!!!! It's a hard skill, and you should learn it. Being successful comes with your ability to respond quickly to what matters in the moment.

@dstepidone @d4rsh_tw Some days are like that

@d4rsh_tw Done all these but that comfortable bed, I no sure say I go buy am oh. I fit over-sleep break my daily routine to wake up by 5AM which will really mess up my day. Today I had 3 meetings before 7AM and slept off on my soft parlour sofa. I ended up missing two of those meetings 🥲

Once you're making serious money Hire a maid. Buy a super comfortable bed. Get the fastest MacBook. Invest in a proper desk and chair. Join a serious gym. Eat organic. Eat quality. You'll level up 10x Faster!

@ibrahimatix0x01 You're doing great, Ibrahim. I'd love to connect with you

I’ll soon be releasing this tool as a set of “skills” that you can use in your audits. It will also be open source.

@olumuyiwaayo I am doing great, Doc. Thanks for asking.

@_theCyberDoctor Sure. How are you doing?

I will come back to talk about this, Doc.

I pray to see you soon, Doc.
