@cookneng @realpeteyb123 I'm glad you think they are boring. Stick with btc news.

@NickXiotis @realpeteyb123 The persons holding the picture are as boring as you are😄

Greeks will always rule the seas and do what others refuse to do. Our dna needs to be preserved and amplified. Just 16 million Greeks, but less than 5 million Greeks are 100%. The greatest minority in the world.

@cookneng @realpeteyb123 You are a funny guy! Like these dudes...

@NickXiotis @realpeteyb123 Look at the Greek coming out of his art lesson from nursery school

@cookneng @realpeteyb123 Look at the Turk!

@NickXiotis @realpeteyb123 Let me guess, an occupied village from Greeks?

@cookneng @realpeteyb123

@realpeteyb123 Relax Greek

@TitanOwn Dark Lord Borg

It’s time. #titanup #titans

@realpeteyb123 Logistical reasons = double the time to get to Greece? 🙂 💙 🇬🇷

Don’t care what anyone says, Orange County, California is still the best place to live in America. I’m not living there now, for logistical reasons, but it’s the perfect spot. Not a debate.

@Rainmaker1973 @grok how about Greek Chios gum?

Chewing gum releases thousands of microplastic particles directly into your mouth with every piece you chew. A pilot study from UCLA researchers, presented at the American Chemical Society’s Spring 2025 meeting, has identified chewing gum as a surprisingly significant and previously overlooked source of daily microplastic ingestion. The researchers examined both traditional synthetic gums, which contain polymers such as polyethylene, polyvinyl acetate, and polystyrene, as well as brands marketed as “natural” that use chicle or other plant-based bases. By simulating realistic chewing conditions, they measured how many particles are released into saliva during typical use. The results showed that a single piece of gum can shed anywhere from hundreds to more than 3,000 microplastic fragments over 10 to 30 minutes of chewing. The primary mechanism is mechanical abrasion from teeth combined with friction from saliva, which dislodges tiny particles directly from the gum base. Surprisingly, “natural” gums performed no better than synthetic versions and, in some cases, released even higher numbers of fragments. Most of the particles fell within the microplastic size range of less than 5 millimeters, making them small enough to be easily swallowed. Once ingested, these particles largely resist breakdown by digestive enzymes and pass through the gastrointestinal tract as persistent pollutants. Although the long-term health consequences of chronic low-level microplastic exposure are still under investigation—with emerging concerns about potential links to inflammation, gut microbiome changes, and leaching of chemicals—this represents a meaningful everyday contribution to personal plastic intake, especially for regular gum chewers. Lead researcher Professor Sanjay Mohanty pointed out a practical way to reduce exposure: chewing a single piece for a longer time rather than frequently replacing it with a fresh one, since particle release tends to be highest in the early minutes and then decreases. The study underscores the need for greater transparency in labeling the materials used in everyday consumer products like chewing gum. As microplastics continue to appear in unexpected places—from drinking water to seafood—this discovery adds chewing gum to the expanding list of common items quietly adding to our daily plastic burden. [Lowe, L., Leonard, J., & Mohanty, S. K. (2025). Ingestion of microplastics during chewing gum consumption. Journal of Hazardous Materials Letters, 6, 100164. DOI: 10.1016/j.hazl.2025.100164]

@realpeteyb123 100% needed. Bravo Panagioti

Spain, Italy, and Greece share a civilizational backbone that shaped the Western world. Nobody can dare deny that. Rome. Athens. The Spanish Empire. They were powers long before Brussels ever existed. Maybe it’s time the Mediterranean nations rethink their alignment. A tighter Southern bloc built around sovereignty, border control, economic revival, and cultural confidence. Call it a Mediterranean Union. Secure borders. Enforce immigration laws. Reclaim national identity. Those three things shouldn’t be questioned or even a political position but logical. Then align strategically with the United States and this administration on trade, defense, and energy. The greatest dynasties were born from conviction, culture, and confidence. It’s time to deeply incentivize family, build relationships and come together with the United States of America.

This is getting out of hand

@ArsenalGreek13 @realpeteyb123 @MarekFrey_ Love to hear the tzitzikia 💙 🇬🇷

@realpeteyb123 @MarekFrey_ One of my spots this summer. Every spot was family friendly. This spot in a nice little village in Crete. Top three beach below us. Restaurant 300 feet away (if that). Bakeries and restaurants deeper into the village. Everything family friendly. And safe (as usual).

The only reason people visit Turkey rather than Greece is because it’s cheaper. It’s not nicer, it’s not friendlier, foods not better, and it’s not safer. Winners visit the real country.

@andruyeung From the Greek πρόνοια It's a complex term that combines forethought, providence, and provision 💙

The most successful people I know all have an almost irrational belief that everything will work out And I just recently learned the word for it: Pronoia. It means the opposite of paranoia. The belief that the world is secretly conspiring in your favor. The funny thing about Pronoia is that it's self-fulfilling. When you believe things will work out, you try harder. You persist longer, and you see opportunities where others see dead ends. What's that quote again? "Pessimists sound smart. Optimists make money." – Nat Friedman We all need a little more pronoia in our lives.

@TDavenport_NFL @JaredStillman @Titans Did Harbaugh have final say in personnel decisions? If not, I assume that was Newsome.

@JaredStillman @Titans You base this on what? Harbaugh was definitely not in control in Baltimore with Ozzie Newsome then Eric DeCosta when he took over.

John Harbaugh has a great reputation and there’s no doubt he’s a LEADER but I find a marriage between him and the @Titans to be incredibly unlikely unless Mike Borgonzi wants to relinquish the org to Harbaugh.

@CraigBrockie @grok considering the points in this thread and the study, what types of high fiber foods would be most effective to eat?

For decades, researchers have been hunting through the gut microbiome looking for MS triggers. They finally found them. Using 81 pairs of identical twins where only one had MS, they eliminated genetic variables completely. What they discovered was groundbreaking ↓

Scientists just cracked the multiple sclerosis code after decades of searching. Two specific gut bacteria are triggering the disease, and they've proven it using identical twins and mice. This changes everything we know about MS:

@PaulKuharskyNFL Paul, any conflicts with control over personnel decisions with Borg now solely in charge of that and Harbaugh probably wanting to be in charge?

John Harbaugh is the best coach available. Good for #Titans that he is on the market whether they can get him or not. Except for the part where if he goes elsewhere another top guy goes to BAL, easily the best opening.

@PaulKuharskyNFL Paul, you mentioned Cam hasn't been great, and I agree. But how would you rate him thus far this season? His progress is definitely pointing up.

@PaulKuharskyNFL PK, I'm a big fan. Also, that bit of Titans praise sounded painful for you. Have a merry, relaxing Christmas!

What is keeping the #Titans glued together nearing the end of a bad season?

Ελλάδα 🇬🇷 Greek sunlight is magic

The Greek Christmas kalanta (carols) are a traditional Greek custom with roots in Greek Byzantine era. That's why they are sung in Byzantine Greek dialect, indicating their direct origin from Byzantine times. Children go door-to-door singing on Christmas Eve (December 24th), often accompanied by a triangle or other instruments, and receive tips (usually sweets or money). Although the custom is mainly Greek, other Christian countries adopted similar practices over time. The renowned Dutch violinist and conductor André Rieu, one of the most successful classical musicians of all time, performed the Greek carols together with Christina Petrou in front of thousands of people. For most people, this song is a joyful celebration of Christ's birth, but for Greeks, it is also a deep-rooted tradition that reminds us of the unbroken continuity of our Greek heritage; from Ancient and Homeric times, through the classical, Hellenistic, and Byzantine eras, right up to today. Many emotions for all that Hellenism has contributed to humanity. We never caused harm; we only wanted to illuminate universal civilization. Some embraced us, some hated us. This song joyfully announces to people the birth of Christ. The lyrics you hear in Byzantine Greek are as follows: Good evening, lords, if it is your command, let me sing in your mansion the divine birth of Christ. Christ is born today in the city of Bethlehem, the heavens rejoice, all nature is glad. In the cave He is born, in a manger of animals, the King of the heavens, and Creator of all. A multitude of angels sing "Glory in the highest," and this is worthy of the shepherds' faith. - Homer Pavlos
