@IsizahSolomon @aakashgupta You talked about how youd feel when take the combo. The OP explained the science behind it. Whats the overstatement here?

@aakashgupta Fun explanation, but it’s a bit overstated I’ll say It really just comes down to the fact it is sweet, salty, crunchy, and fizzy all at once. and that combo naturally hits, and that is why people enjoy it very much

Peanuts in Coke is one of the most accidentally perfect food pairings in history, and the chemistry explains why this guy can't go back. Coca-Cola sits at pH 2.5, roughly the same acidity as stomach acid. When you drop roasted peanuts into that, the phosphoric acid partially denatures the surface proteins on the nut, releasing free glutamate. You're generating umami in real time inside the glass. The salt on the peanuts suppresses bitter taste receptors on your tongue, which amplifies your perception of sweetness without adding a single gram of sugar. Coca-Cola already has 39g of sugar per can. Your brain registers it as even sweeter because the salt is clearing the noise from competing flavor signals. Then carbonation does two things. CO2 dissolved in liquid forms carbonic acid, which triggers pain receptors (TRPA1), not taste receptors. That mild irritation resets your palate between sips so you never get flavor fatigue. Every sip hits like the first. Second, the bubbles physically agitate the peanut surface, accelerating the protein breakdown and glutamate release. The longer the peanuts sit, the more umami you extract. The fat content seals it. Peanuts are 49% fat by weight. Fat is the only macronutrient that activates CD36 receptors, which your brain interprets as richness and satisfaction. Mix that with sugar, salt, acid, umami, and carbonation and you've accidentally triggered every major reward pathway in the human taste system simultaneously. Georgia farmers in the 1920s did this because they needed one hand free while working. They stumbled into the optimal salt-acid-umami-fat-carbonation loop a century before food science could explain why it worked.

They acted like the emoji they picked. So cute 😂❤️

The message of yoir tweet seems to suggest that EVs should be cheaper to charge than fueling ICEs. If so, that's not the primary advantage of EVs. The advantage is more global and personal – clean energy. No one promised cheaper energy. In fact, the pricing models in tune with DISCOs will give you cheaper charging if you charge at certain periods.

Lagos today has just 10 EV charging hubs. 7 on the Island, 3 on the Mainland. On average, you spend about ₦6,000 per hour on AC charging and close to ₦10,000 per hour on DC fast charging. Most of these charging hubs depend on supply from the Discos. And our generation is still largely tied to gas. So when there is a gas issue, generation drops. Once generation drops, supply becomes unstable. At that point, these hubs switch to alternative power sources, and the cost of charging EV goes up immediately. So EV users will be queuing at charging hubs to charge. Fuel car users will be queuing at filling stations to buy fuel. So you now have higher charging costs for EV owners, higher fuel costs for petrol users, and in the end, transportation becomes more expensive across board. Somebody shout power.

🥶💥One of the most brutal Israel Adesanya’s finishes in his kickboxing career. Israel Adesanya was emoting his opponent and then finished him cold😱

@DrJoeAbah That Asian AI man got nothing on me o. I skip on the beat. But lets see how it goes.

I have a confession to make: I have been seduced by all those Tai Chi adverts on YouTube and Netflix. I bought an online subscription that said that I wouldn’t recognise myself in 28 days and would look like the well-chiselled Asian man they advertise it with. I did it for two days and left it for the last month. The movements were so slow that I didn’t feel that I was doing anything. Since then, I didn’t open the app until today. I think that I must do the 28 days first before determining whether dem don run me street. I restarted today. Wish me luck. 😀

Probably Sinner’s best shot ever ???

Take a shower in the dark.

@OBG_AFC Fairs. Emery would've been on his dining table.

Mikel Arteta knows that doing this sends a clear message to Pep and the citeh players, which is this: ​Arteta explicitly stated after the match that the gesture was about respect. By staying, he signaled that despite the fierce rivalry and the high stakes of the title race, he still views Guardiola as a mentor and Citeh as a benchmark. ​By forcing his players to stand and watch their rivals celebrate, he was ensuring they felt the full weight of the loss. ​The Message: "Look at what we missed out on". ​By standing his ground rather than running to the dressing room, Arteta projected defiance. It showed a team that is comfortable in the spotlight, even in defeat. It was a visual representation of the new Arsenal: a team that no longer feels inferior to Citeh, but rather feels like they belong on that same podium.

@aakashgupta Culture may override this science. If youre used to eating immediately brushing, there's a high chance your hunger receptors kick in. It wont diminish your sugar cravings.

Two words and this guy accidentally described a triple-layer behavioral intervention that most diet coaches charge $200/hour to explain. Sodium laureth sulfate, the chemical that makes toothpaste foam, suppresses your sweet taste receptors and amplifies bitter ones. That orange juice after brushing tastes terrible for a reason. Your tongue is chemically incapable of enjoying sugar for about 30 minutes post-brush. Layer two: menthol triggers cold receptors in your mouth. Your brain interprets “cool and clean” as “eating window closed.” The same signal that makes a post-dinner mint feel like a full stop on the meal. Brushing at night is a stronger version of that same cue. Layer three is pure Pavlov. If you brush every night before bed, your brain wires “toothpaste = sleep mode.” The craving doesn’t get suppressed. It gets overwritten by a competing behavioral loop. After enough repetitions, the act of brushing tells your entire digestive system to shut down for the night. This is why the advice sounds dumb but works better than willpower. Willpower is a depleting resource. You burn through it all day making decisions, and by 10pm there’s nothing left. Brushing your teeth routes around the willpower problem entirely by changing the chemical and behavioral environment so the craving doesn’t fire. The best systems in fitness are environment design that makes discipline unnecessary.

Israel Adesanya vs Kelvin Gastelum

What are the odds? 😳

@QwixxF @aakashgupta @therealdaddymo1 Yup. Simple as that. But these workers would rather tell you: "I'm following orders." "It’s not in my JD..." and other phrases that suits HR jargon

@kayvins @aakashgupta @therealdaddymo1 Should have the same procedure as a school bus at railroad crossings. It's unbelievable that they blindly trust ATC for ground driving. Get permission, get to the intersection, stop, look, proceed when you see that it is clear. Otherwise take the long way around.

The air traffic controller cleared the fire truck onto the runway. Seconds later, the same controller screamed “stop, stop, stop.” The plane was doing 93 to 105 mph. Both pilots are dead. Everyone will frame this as controller error. One controller was simultaneously managing a United flight that aborted takeoff after an anti-ice warning, dispatching a fire truck across an active runway, and sequencing an inbound Air Canada landing at highway speed. At 11:40 PM. On a mandatory overtime shift at a facility that has been understaffed for years. A system that assigns one person that workload will produce exactly this outcome. The only variable is when. The FAA is short approximately 3,000 controllers. The headcount dropped 13% from 2010 to 2024 while flight volume rose 10%. Over 40% of the FAA’s 290 terminal facilities are understaffed. The New York TRACON, which manages the most congested airspace in America across LaGuardia, JFK, and Newark, has been chronically below target. Newark was operating at 59% of its staffing goal. LaGuardia handles 900 flights a day. The hiring pipeline is broken at every stage. Only 2% of applicants complete the full process. Training takes up to 6 years. The FAA Academy in Oklahoma City is a bottleneck, with roughly 35% of trainees washing out. Congress blocked legislation to build a second academy. In one recent hiring cycle, the FAA brought on 1,512 candidates and lost 1,300 in the same window. Net gain: around 160 controllers for an entire country. Three things need to happen and everyone who can make them happen has known for years. Congress needs to fund and authorize a second FAA training academy. One facility in Oklahoma City cannot produce enough controllers for 900 million annual passengers. Members of Congress from Oklahoma have actively blocked this. That needs to end yesterday. The FAA needs to cut certification time. Six years from application to fully certified controller is absurd. The agency’s own data shows tower simulators reduce certification time by 27%. They’ve installed them at 95 facilities. That should be every facility, and the simulated hours should count toward more of the certification requirement. The FAA needs to stop plugging staffing gaps with mandatory overtime. Controllers at understaffed facilities are working six-day weeks rotating between morning, mid, and night shifts. The NTSB has flagged fatigue repeatedly. The controller last night was managing overlapping emergencies during a nighttime operation. Overtime is not a staffing plan. It’s a countdown to the next runway collision. The controller said “I messed up” to a Frontier pilot who watched the whole thing. The pilot responded “No man, you did the best you could.” One of them is right. The answer determines whether this happens again.

@Success_Ziyah @Wizarab10 This is a shallow tweet. You can only claim to be a victim. Crying to court doesn't make you one. You need evidence to prove you're actually the victim.

@Wizarab10 Justice needs proof, yes. But respect for victims doesn’t need a court verdict first.

The reason I said this, is so you people can understand how criminal justice works. It is embarrassing seeing you people spout nonsense everytime a crime is committed. When you get to court, you'll see that - the person making the allegation must prove it. - there is no belief without evidence. - the testimony of the person you're accusing must be heard. - your evidence must be beyond reasonable doubt - you'll narrate everything that you claimed happened and the other side will poke holes in your testimony to extract the truth and convince the court. - the accused is innocent until you can prove they are guilty. - there is no emotion in court, only proof. Can you prove the accused is guilty of the crime youre alleging? - there is no "All men" in court. The court room is not a zoo. - Every case is treated independently. There is no such thing as believing an allegation simply because the previous 5 turned out to be guilty. A new case gets its own fresh trial. You'll prove your case. The outcome of other cases is irrelevant. Again, go to court and learn how criminal matters are adjudicated so you stop sounding like rams on social media.

@goose702 Aaah

I love Mike Tyson but he will go down as one of the most overrated boxers Of all time

@jksnoww @McFlybowy I gave you a reason why its more likely for Arsenal to defend.

@kayvins @McFlybowy The problem is, you guys think Arsenal will defend for 90 minutes. Some of you think we being the best defence team in Europe is all about defending

I know you think this is going to be an ultimate attack vs an ultimate defense, but it’s not. Arsenal are balanced throughout the squad. There’s enough physicality and technical quality in the team to balance everything. They have an attack better than anything FC Barcelona have faced this season. But more importantly, it’s not just about the attack.. it’s about how Arsenal attack. They don’t rely on chaos. They can play in phases, sustain pressure, and control territory. They can go direct when needed, but they’re also comfortable circulating the ball, manipulating shape, and waiting for the right moment. That’s what makes them dangerous in this type of game. Against most teams, Barcelona are used to controlling the rhythm dictating possession, pulling teams out, then exploiting space. But Arsenal won’t allow that to happen easily. They can match them physically, press with structure, and still maintain defensive discipline behind the ball. And when Arsenal lose the ball, their rest defense is strong enough to deal with transitions. That’s key, because Barcelona thrive when games become stretched. Arsenal don’t need the game to be open they can dominate in a controlled way. So this won’t be a one-sided stylistic clash. It’s going to be a game of control vs control, structure vs structure. Football world needs it.

@McFlybowy Partey will also fit perfectly in a structure. Hence, Partey is what he is plus Zubi.

The quicker you understand Partey and Zubimendi are different profile even though similar. Partey is a progressive 6, he breaks line aggressively, he’s excellent at carrying the ball through pressure, he plays riskier Passes between the line. Defensively Partey relies more on physicality and recovery. But Zubimendi plays within structure, keeps everything balanced, he’s elite at tempo setting, he’s less risky too. Defending, he relies on positional discipline, he’s the reason why Arsenal maintain shapes outside position easily. They offer different things even in the same system.

@LewiGreening @adamkeys_ If that game was a draw, over 80% of the people praising Eze now would agree with you. That said, I thought Eze wasnt poor against Everton and Leverkusen.

@adamkeys_ Thought he was poor vs Everton. We were never scoring until MD came on. Think he will continue to improve though

In recent weeks, Eberechi Eze has clicked OOP. His his pressing triggers feel instinctive and natural, and less like a player processing instructions in real time. It's no coincidence that #Arsenal are starting to see his attacking game flourish at the same time. He's arriving.
