It's a few weeks old, but I keep thinking about this video from the Ukraine War, where soldiers shoot down explosive drones with shotguns to save their own lives. Welcome to the future.

The chemistry of this transformation is one of the most violent processes in the food industry, and you eat the result almost every day. Pig skin is roughly 30% collagen by weight. Collagen is a triple helix protein, three polypeptide chains wound around each other like a rope. That structure is what makes skin elastic and tough. To turn it into gelatin, you have to destroy the rope. The skins arrive at processing plants and get soaked in sulfuric or hydrochloric acid at pH 1.3 for 8 to 48 hours. The acid breaks the cross-links holding the triple helix together. Then they're washed for another 24 hours to flush the acid and salts. Then the actual extraction: the skins get cooked in water at 50°C to 100°C for up to 36 hours. Each temperature stage pulls out a different quality of gelatin. The first, lowest-temperature batch produces the strongest gel. The last batch, at near-boiling, produces the weakest. The collagen molecules unwind, collapse, and fragment into shorter peptide chains. What was a structured fiber becomes a random coil dissolved in water. That solution gets filtered, demineralized, vacuum-concentrated to 50% solids, sterilized at 300°F for 13 seconds, extruded into noodle-like strands, dried, and milled into powder. The global industry processes about 620,000 tons of this per year. 46% of all gelatin on Earth comes from pig skin. That powder goes into gummy bears, marshmallows, Jell-O, yogurt, pill capsules, even film photography. One-third of the world's population can't eat it for religious reasons. The gummy bear you're chewing started as connective tissue holding a pig together. Everything between those two states was acid baths, 36-hour cooks, and industrial chemistry operating at a scale most people never think about.

What starts out as old pig skin eventually becomes gummy bears

720 individuals recruited by UBA for its graduate trainee programme. One company, 720 individuals. If I assume they get ₦400k monthly, that's an estimated ₦3.5bn of income annually that is about to enter the system.

Four humans are about to fall into a 10,000°C wall of plasma at 25,000 mph with a heat shield NASA knows is flawed. Tomorrow evening. Off the coast of San Diego. Orion hits the atmosphere at 36 times the speed of sound. The air can't move out of the way fast enough, so it compresses into a shockwave twice as hot as the surface of the Sun. The plasma ionizes the surrounding air and blocks all radio signals. For several minutes, the crew is falling faster than any humans have ever traveled inside a spacecraft, and nobody on the ground can talk to them. The heat shield is 186 blocks of a material called Avcoat glued to a titanium skeleton. It works by charring, melting, and disintegrating on purpose. The destruction of the outer layer is the cooling mechanism. There is no backup system. No redundancy. The heat shield works or the crew doesn't come home. The Artemis I heat shield came back with over 100 locations where chunks had ripped off. NASA spent two years figuring out why, concluded it was gas pressure building up inside the material during reentry, and decided not to replace the shield. They changed the flight path instead. Steeper angle, less time in the danger zone. NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman said publicly that this approach "is not the right way to do things long term." The capsule will slow from 25,000 mph to 17 mph in thirteen minutes. Parachutes don't even deploy until the last four. Everything before that is managed by a curved piece of titanium and glue entering air twice as hot as the Sun. Tomorrow at 5:07 PM Pacific, San Diego might hear a sonic boom. That sound is four people betting their lives on NASA's math being right.
Insider Paper@TheInsiderPaper

NEW: NASA says that people along the coast of San Diego County in California might hear a sonic boom Friday afternoon when the Orion capsule carrying the Artemis II crew re-enters the atmosphere, wrapping up its historic trip around the moon. The boom may be loud enough to rattle windows when the capsule re-enters the atmosphere shortly before 5 p.m, The San Diego Union-Tribune reports

🚨 BREAKING: The Artemis II crew is preparing to RETURN HOME from going around the Moon — set to surge into Earth's atmosphere at 25,000 MPH The heat outside the capsule will reach 5,000 degrees F, they'll slow down, deploy chutes, and SPLASH DOWN Friday night near San Diego, CA HISTORY! They'll be home soon 🇺🇸

The "Burn the Camp" 2.0 campaign launched by ISWAP has started again, the terrorist group put the campaign on hold after the attack the group carried out in Monguno against the military which led to massive casualties from the side of the terrorists. Multiple attacks were carried out by the ISWAP terrorists from Beninshiek, Pulka and Ngamdu. Ever since the "Burn the Camp" 2.0 started this is the major attack where a Brigadier General and 2 Lt Col were killed in the same attack. The Govt needs to do more and be more proactive in tackling these extremists.
