@SalmanNaseer Rhymes too much Dunces

Why is it called FAST when the name is NUCES - National University of Computer and Emerging Sciences ?

@afahim @NC_Renic Just ask AI for such problems…

@NC_Renic Professors should give problems that AI can not solve, but only help to solve. For that professors will have to actually think

Professor: "in order to prove that you didn't use AI, please save multiple drafts showing your work over time" Student who writes essay 45 minutes before deadline without AI: 😟

@RehamKhan1 @MirzaBilal__ What’s the breakeven number of hours spent in line (time cost and petrol used cost, with A/C on in the summer heat) vs. a price hike of Rs 50/ liter and an average tank space of 40 liters? You save Rs. 2,000 and end up spending more than that if you wait more than an hour…

Cars queuing up for miles in Islamabad to get Petrol before the price hike tomorrow. Apparently it’s going to be the worst price hike in 50 years. Did Pakistan not get even one tanker free for the diplomacy? I guess we should just start cycling & work from home. And the expenses of CM houses, PM houses, Army offices, perks & privileges of all in public service cut by half at least. Convoys of luxury cars should be stopped too.

@mahobili Life

Suggest a horror show please.

@ZulfiqarAhmed69 @MechaShafay There are multiple industries in Pakistan that am have started using some of our molasses: one is producing baking yeast, several more are producing industrial alcohol. Great potential still to be tapped for more bio-chemical / biological industries.

@MechaShafay We do. China uses this molasses to make disposable cutlery.

Do we export molasses ? Its rate in Int market is very low.

@ZulfiqarAhmed69 @zohaibsadozai9 At that scale it’s not a serious play and you would be irrelevant (also lower efficiency and even worse ROI). A serious and significant capacity plant was around ~$40 million if I remember

@zohaibsadozai9 Can start between $100k-$500k.

60% of the citric acid used in Pakistan for manufacturing food and cleaning products is imported from China. The main ingredient to make citric acid is molasses; few tanks and air compressor etc. Everything is available in Pakistan. Why can’t we manufacture it in Pakistan?

@ZulfiqarAhmed69 I worked on the feasibility: the CAPEX is too high and ROI too low to justify the investment. Chinese manufacturers keep international prices low via marginal pricing. Despite ample feedstock and no IP some industries don’t make sense locally.

@ProfRobAnderson I bet this is gonna be found to be causing overloaded kidneys and related diseases. Humans didn’t evolve to have a constant ship of water every five minutes. Waterholes are dangerous places and visited at considerable risk.

Was there some kind of dramatic discovery of new benefits of hydration in the last ten years? We never carried water bottles around all the time until recently and nobody I know of shriveled up and died of dehydration in all those years.

@TheSaadKaiser Who would win a chess match between Buzdar and Sohail Afridi? My money is on a draw. Both will probably fight over the rules…

CM Sohail Afridi’s performance is under review, and he is expected to be replaced soon. After a thorough assessment of his performance, some observers conclude that he has been one of the weakest Chief Ministers in KP’s history. Some also compare his political performance unfavourably with Buzdar. Whether Imran Khan will appoint a better Chief Minister this time remains to be seen. However, history suggests that Imran Khan has never chosen highly competent individuals for key positions, and some of his selections have been criticised for underperformance.

@mobeenshafaat Turn off everything using gas and go check the meter. If it’s still running you have a leak.

Damn son, I got a 45K gas bill! We don’t even use gas water heater. We use electric gas heater! WTF. 45K just for 6 hours of gas everyday? Is everyone getting inflated bill or is it just me?

If you had an empty wall, what would you write on it?

@TeslaAndDoge @irfanbaaghwaan Twice.

Pakistan’s entire foreign debt should be forgiven for the role they have played to bring peace in the world.

@TalhaEjaz07ee @rogueonomist I attended Buhler’s innovation day. Utility scale “battery” solutions were presented that are not traditional batteries at all. Just a pile of concrete blocks that can be heated up in the day and released heat at night to generate electricity.

Utility scale batteries will not be lithium there is no need for utility scale batteries to be this light weight. When the transition comes we will have options like flow batteries along with sodium batteries which is much abundant material.

@afahim @aakashgupta Pocket-pool?

@aakashgupta What about table tennis

Tennis players live 9.7 years longer than sedentary people. Not 9.7 months. 9.7 years. Nearly a decade. The Copenhagen City Heart Study tracked 8,577 people for 25 years and ranked every sport by how much life it adds. Badminton: 6.2 years. Soccer: 4.7. Cycling: 3.7. Swimming: 3.4. Jogging: 3.2. Tennis almost triples jogging. A separate study of 80,000 adults found racket sports cut all-cause mortality by 47% and cardiovascular death by 56%. Swimming hit 41%. Aerobics hit 36%. The question is why racket sports destroy everything else. Three mechanisms stack on top of each other. First, the physical demands. A tennis rally requires explosive sprints, lateral cuts, and sustained aerobic output. You're training fast-twitch and slow-twitch muscle fibers simultaneously. Most cardio only trains one system. Second, the cognitive load. You're reading spin, predicting angles, adjusting position, and executing motor patterns in real-time. Your brain is solving spatial puzzles at 80+ mph. That hand-eye coordination and strategic processing builds neural connections that protect against cognitive decline. Third, and this is the one researchers keep coming back to: you literally cannot play alone. Every racket sport requires another person on the other side of the net. That forced social interaction triggers neurochemical benefits that solitary exercise cannot replicate. Strong social connection alone increases your chance of longevity by 50%. Jogging is you and your thoughts. Tennis is you, a strategic opponent, and a community. Dr. Daniel Amen is right. The data is overwhelming. If you want the single highest-ROI activity for a longer life, pick up a racket.

@jaffri_ibrahim @mahobili But not handsooommmmme na!

The field marshall is in Tehran while the PM is in Jeddah. Years later, students of diplomacy and IR will marvel over this feat. This is for the history books: how Pakistan became Iran's most trusted ally, while signing defense pacts with Saudis.

@farrukhiqbal70 @NHMPofficial That’s for accidents. Not for knowingly setting up your cruise control over the limit.

Dear @NHMPofficial I was fined for 105 km/h in a 100 km/h zone. Does this count as overspeeding? Is there a +10 km/h grace margin? I had cruise set at 105 from Lahore and passed several checks without being stopped. Kindly clarify.

@Shehzad89 اصل میں جے ڈی عمران سے اجازت لینے ہی آرہا ہے۔ سمجھو وہ جیت چکا ہے۔۔۔

Need a Polymarket bet on whether JD Vance will eat Savor Pulao or not.

@KazmiWajahat Surma in the eyes too…

Grenade was wearing a black taweez and said Adaab before exploding.

@UzairYounus We need to be carried kicking and screaming to this solar-battery-EV future. Please increase petrol prices MORE and raise electricity prices MORE. Accelerate the transformation! Insano ki tarha to hum transform kar naheen saktay.

A key part of my book Future Ready focused on scarcity of energy and how countries like Pakistan can leapfrog ahead using EVs and decentralized energy systems. The ongoing crisis is an opportunity to push forward and accelerate this transition. dawn.com/news/1988220/t…
