@mitsukos619 @Sw33tDeee @SporkandGo @DustyAssKracka One of my relatives knows an American guy who was in Wuhan at an international exhibition during June 2019. While in Wuhan, the guy became very sick, returned to the USA via jet shortly thereafter (still sick) and was seen by a doctor... JUNE 2019 🧐

Muslim in the UK; "The message I wanna give to the far-right people is: We're here to take over your country. You can't stop us. We're here to uphold Sharia law." To this cunt and anyone who thinks like this, be ready of the fight of your lives.

The average rich American doesn't trust Bitcoin. Getting a nest egg was hard. You had to save, and work hard. Handing it for magical internet money is a big ask.

@elonmusk They both harbor anti-industrial mentalities, which are typical of collectivists. Had they been around when humans learned how to start fires, they would have put them out by pissing on them.

A single dose of a new cancer drug made a brain tumor almost disappear - in just 5 days In early 2024, doctors at Massachusetts General Hospital treated three people with recurrent glioblastoma brain tumour using a brand-new type of CAR T-cell therapy called CARv3-TEAM-E. The treatment is made from each patient’s own immune cells, which are taken out, genetically rewired in the lab to recognize two different markers commonly found on glioblastoma cells, and then infused directly into the fluid spaces of the brain through a single procedure. The results were stunning and much faster than anyone expected: In one patient, MRI scans taken just five days after the single infusion showed the tumor had almost completely vanished. A second patient had more than 60 % of the tumor disappear, and that shrinkage lasted for over six months. The third patient also had clear tumor reduction within days. These responses happened far more quickly and dramatically than anything seen before with immunotherapy for this type of brain cancer. Doctors described the early images as “jaw-dropping.

Flashback: A Muslim preacher openly complains that life in the UK is unfair because “inferior” non-Muslims don’t know their proper place in Allah’s hierarchy. His solution? Force Islam and Sharia law onto Britain. This isn’t a call for coexistence. This is a declaration of supremacy. What is your response to him?

EN ALLEMAGNE ! Des femmes voilées hurlent sur une Allemande en short d’été : « Trop court ! » Soudain, un barbu islamiste surgit, la frappe violemment devant les enfants et la chasse comme une chienne. Voilà l’« enrichissement » de l’immigration de masse !

The Navy rejected her for being too old and too thin—so she invented the code that still runs your bank account, and became an Admiral. In 1943, Grace Hopper was 37 years old with a PhD in mathematics from Yale when she tried to enlist in the U.S. Navy during World War II. They turned her down. She exceeded the age limit by two years. She was 15 pounds underweight. And she was a woman trying to work with military technology—something the Navy didn't believe women could handle. Grace found another way in through the WAVES program and received a waiver. They gave her a uniform and assigned her to an impossible challenge: the Harvard Mark I computer. It was 1944. The Mark I filled an entire room, weighed 5 tons, contained 750,000 mechanical parts, and made strange clanking sounds as it calculated artillery trajectories. Few people understood how it worked. Even fewer believed a woman could master it. Grace Hopper didn't just master it—she taught it to speak English. THE REVOLUTIONARY IDEA In the 1940s and 1950s, programming meant writing in machine code—endless strings of ones and zeros that only computers understood. It was tedious, error-prone, and required programmers to think like machines. Grace thought that was backward. "Why should humans have to speak the computer's language?" she asked. "Why can't we teach computers to understand ours?" The computing establishment told her it was impossible. Computers could only process numbers. They could never understand words or human language. You were wasting your time even trying. In 1952, Grace proved them spectacularly wrong. She invented the first compiler—a program that could translate human-readable instructions into machine code. She called it the A-0 System, and it was revolutionary. "Nobody believed it," she recalled years later. "I had a running compiler and nobody would touch it. They told me computers could only do arithmetic." But Grace kept pushing. Her compiler evolved into something even more transformative. THE LANGUAGE THAT RUNS THE WORLD By the late 1950s, Grace was leading the team developing COBOL—Common Business-Oriented Language. COBOL was designed to be readable by non-programmers. Instead of cryptic symbols, it used actual English words: READ, WRITE, COMPUTE, ADD. For the first time, business people could understand what a program did just by reading it. The programming elite dismissed it. It was too simple. Too English. Real programmers didn't need "readable" code. COBOL became the most widely used business programming language in history. Today—right now, as you're reading this—COBOL still processes: 95% of ATM transactions 80% of in-person credit and debit purchases Most airline reservations Major credit card systems Social Security payments Trillions of dollars in daily financial transactions The code Grace championed in the 1950s is still running the world's financial infrastructure seventy years later. THE MOTH In 1947, Grace was debugging the Mark II computer when it malfunctioned. Her team opened it up and found a moth trapped in Relay #70. Grace carefully taped the moth into the logbook with the notation: "First actual case of bug being found." That moth is still preserved at the Smithsonian. Grace didn't invent the term "bug"—engineers had used it for decades. But she loved the story because it perfectly captured her philosophy: Find the problem. Fix it. Document it. Move forward. THE NANOSECOND Grace remained in the Navy for decades, becoming one of its most respected officers. She became famous for a teaching technique that made the abstract concrete. She carried pieces of wire exactly 11.8 inches long—the distance light travels in one nanosecond, one-billionth of a second. She'd hand them to generals and admirals and say: "This is how far your signal travels in one nanosecond. Now you understand why satellite communications have delays." Then she'd show them a coil of wire nearly 1,000 feet long—one microsecond. "This is why you can't waste time," she'd say. It was brilliant. She made the invisible visible. She made the incomprehensible concrete. She turned abstract computer science into something you could hold in your hand. THE ADMIRAL Grace was recalled from retirement multiple times because the Navy desperately needed her expertise. Each time, she said yes. She finally retired in 1986 at age 79—the oldest active-duty commissioned officer in the United States Navy. By then, she was Rear Admiral Grace Hopper. She'd received the Defense Distinguished Service Medal and over 40 honorary degrees. She'd been inducted into the National Women's Hall of Fame. In her final interviews, she wore her uniform with sharp precision and still handed out those nanosecond wires. "You have no excuse to be slow," she'd say with a smile. THE LEGACY Grace Hopper died on New Year's Day 1992 at age 85. The Navy named a destroyer after her: USS Hopper (DDG-70). Yale named a supercomputer in her honor. Google named a building after her. Microsoft created the Grace Hopper Celebration—the world's largest gathering of women in technology. But her real legacy is something you experience every single day. Every time you use a computer and it understands what you want, you're using Grace Hopper's vision. Every time you read code that makes sense, you're reading in the language she championed. Every time you debug a program, you're using the process she helped define. She was told computers were too complicated for women. She was told humans couldn't make computers understand English. She was told she was too old to serve her country. She proved them all catastrophically wrong. Grace Hopper didn't just program computers. She programmed the future. She proved that technology should serve humans, not the other way around. She showed that the best code is code people can understand. She demonstrated that age means nothing when you have vision and determination. They called her "Amazing Grace." She preferred Admiral. Every time you withdraw cash from an ATM, swipe a credit card, book a flight, or use a computer that speaks your language instead of binary code—you're standing on her foundation. Rear Admiral Grace Hopper (1906-1992): The woman who taught computers to speak English and changed the world forever. "The most dangerous phrase in the language is, 'We've always done it this way.'" — Grace Hopper She never did things the old way. And we're all better for it.

To Muslims living in Japan: I respect your freedom of religion. However, I feel uncomfortable when a group suddenly starts praying in a park or public space without considering the people around them. This is a place where children play. If children suddenly see a group of adults bowing down on the ground, they may be surprised or even scared because they do not understand what is happening. Japan has its own public manners and social rules. Practicing your faith and being considerate of the people around you should be able to coexist. I am not saying you should not pray. I am simply asking you to choose an appropriate place and be mindful of others.

Ehsan Afrashteh was executed this morning. He was an IT specialist who had moved to Turkey, well aware of the hopelessness and risks of remaining in Iran. His father called him, telling Eshan that the regime had promised not to harm him if he returned home. And he chose to trust them. Upon his arrival, the IRGC immediately arrested and tortured him into falsely confessing to being a "spy". And today he was hanged for something he did not do. An innocent Iranian is currently executed every six hours. It's unbearable.

It's called 'mining' when you search for either tokens or chunks of ore because you can say, "it's mine", when you find one.

🏛️⚖️ For a thousand years, the British people governed themselves without the state. This is how they did it. A thousand years ago in England, there were no police. There were no prisons. There was no central state strong enough to reach every village. And yet, somehow, England worked. The reason was something the Anglo-Saxons had built into the foundations of their society. They called it frankpledge. Every man in every village belonged to a group of ten. They were called a tithing. ⚖️ And each man, by law, was responsible for the conduct of every other man in his tithing. If one man committed a crime, his nine neighbours were responsible for bringing him to justice. If they failed, they paid the fine themselves. The whole tithing answered for the crime of one man. 📜 The system was given the force of law by King Canute, the Anglo-Danish king who united England in peace. Between 1016 and 1035, Canute decreed that every man over the age of 12 must belong to a tithing. When the Normans came in 1066, they could have abolished it. They did the opposite. William the Conqueror kept the Anglo-Saxon system. And he made it stronger. ⚔️ Twice every year, the Sheriff would arrive in the village. He would call the tithings together. He would check that every man was accounted for. This was called the View of Frankpledge. The system held England together for 300 years. And when the king's courts eventually grew to replace it, two pieces of frankpledge stayed behind. 🔥 The first became the jury. Twelve neighbours, called to judge another. The same idea, transplanted from the village to the courtroom. The second became the constable. The man chosen from among neighbours to keep the peace. Not imposed from above. Chosen from below. Modern British policing began here. The jury system began here. The principle that ordinary British people are responsible for ordinary British people began in an Anglo-Saxon village a thousand years ago. ✍️ For a thousand years, we have been responsible for each other. We do not need the state to teach us how to belong. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ This channel has no ads. No sponsors. No state funding. It is built the same way the tithing was built. By the people who choose to stand in it. Be part of us 🇬🇧👉 proudofus.co.uk/support 👈🇬🇧 Be Proud Of Us. 🙏🇬🇧

What's something really cool in your home state that you don't think many people know about? This is the Great Salt Plains in Oklahoma. There's designated areas where you can go and dig for free hourglass selenite crystals. This is the only place in the world where you can find Hourglass Selenite

“What kind of a depraved monster slices off a woman’s breast while she is being gang raped, and throws it into the dust to be used as a plaything? What kind of a twisted pervert turns rape into necrophilia by shooting a woman in the head while he is still defiling her? What kind of ‘freedom fighters’ go into battle with a set of handy Arabic-to-Hebrew phrases, including ‘take off your pants’, ‘lie down’, and ‘spread your legs’? What self-respecting human being presses nails, scalpels, a hammer, an axe, screwdrivers and other household tools into a woman’s genitals? How hard do you have to rape someone, and with what, to shatter their pelvis? Who shoots a young girl in the face and then films her mutilated corpse on her brother’s mobile phone? The answer is: Hamas terrorists. This is the stark reality of what they did to men, women and children on October 7, 2023. And the world must never forget.” @WestminsterWAG
