One of my go-to cheap meals when I dont feel like cooking. Mix it up with some finely chopped onion, avocado, and black pepper and eat it with white rice topped with chives.

Oil and liquefied natural gas tankers moving through the Strait of Hormuz carry around 20% of the world’s supply. But for countries on the Persian Gulf, the waterway is more than just an energy route – it’s a lifeline for more than 100 million people. cnn.com/2026/03/21/bus…

Scientists think they have learned exactly when and how humans created the first language: earth.com/news/when-huma…

Everyone's watching oil but Nobody's watching helium ⚠️ That's a mistake Qatar just lost 33% of global helium supply overnight. Most people think helium = balloons🎈 Here's what it actually powers: 🧠 MRI scanners, liquid helium is irreplaceable for cooling 💻 Chip fabrication , every semiconductor needs it 🚀 Aerospace & rocket systems 🔬 Quantum computers and research labs There is no alternative to helium Now look at who's exposed: 🇰🇷 South Korea: 40% Samsung, SK Hynix sweating 🇹🇼 Taiwan: 35% TSMC quietly concerned 🇯🇵 Japan: 30% 60 days before shortages bite 🇸🇬 Singapore: 25% regional chip hub at risk 🇩🇪 Germany: 18% prices already doubled 🇨🇳 China: 22% stockpiling accelerating 🇺🇸 USA: 10% price spikes incoming The hard truth is that No substitute exists. Restart takes years not months. Some capacity may never come back. The Iran war didn't just attack energy. It attacked the hardware layer of the global economy. ⚡💻 Next AI chip. Next MRI. Next satellite. All running on a commodity most people couldn't name yesterday.

Researchers in South Korea have developed transparent solar panels that can be integrated into ordinary windows, allowing homes and skyscrapers to generate electricity without altering their appearance. The panels harvest energy from sunlight while maintaining visibility, opening the door to buildings that power themselves through their own glass. #science #technology #solarenergy #renewables #sustainability

NOBODY KNOWS HOW FUCKED THE SITUATION IN THE PERSIAN GULF ACTUALLY IS. 3,200 ships are TRAPPED in the Persian Gulf right now. Crews are running out of drinking water. One ship called the local port authority and BEGGED for permission to dock — just to get water. They were DENIED. 💀 Let that sink in. These aren't military ships. These are commercial vessels — carrying oil, grain, electronics — with civilian crews who are now stranded with NO supplies and NO way out. – 3,200 ships STUCK ⚠️ – Crews running out of WATER 💀 – Port authorities REFUSING to let them dock ⚠️ – Multiple ships reporting the SAME situation 💀 ⚠️ For context — the Suez Canal crisis in 2021 blocked 400 ships. This is EIGHT TIMES worse. And nobody is talking about it. They're showing you missile interceptions and oil price charts. They're NOT showing you thousands of crew members slowly running out of drinking water in the middle of a war zone. If these ships start getting abandoned, the environmental disaster alone would be catastrophic. Thousands of tons of fuel, cargo, chemicals — just sitting there. This is not a shipping disruption. This is a HUMANITARIAN CRISIS unfolding in real time. Prepare accordingly. 🚨🚨🚨 X is hiding this. Follow + RT before it disappears. 🔥

The Day After Tomorrow has always been a guilty pleasure film for me. Lots of people hate the science in this movie, but the atmosphere, pace, suspense, and camaraderie between characters more than makes up for that.

🇮🇹This house is just 5 meters from Lake Como. Not close to the lake. Literally on it. And what’s inside is even more interesting. Let me show you. 🧵
