Herman Waita

Today is the last day of ~160 days that I've spent, on & off, at @thenairobihosp over the last 1/4 of a decade...mostly in I.C.U. My body feels AWESOME right now. It's taken >15 surgeons & specialist, hundreds of nurses & medical staff to put humpty dumpty back together again.

Once done by hand, now done by machine. A robotic plotter is hand drawing full house designs with incredible accuracy.

BREAKING: $1 trillion in value has been wiped out from US stock-market today

Might want to ask for that plane back mate…

Some 20 yrs ago, I came to United States at the age of nine straight out of a refugee camp in Benin. I'd been a refugee since I was two-years-old and I spoke no English and had no formal education. Today, I am now officially a Yale-trained Ph.D. with a prize-winning dissertation.

Question: I'm a geriatric millenial who rarely uses emojis. What emoji does one use to express smugness

@mainat I'm counting down the days until I see that ".....actually, you were right..." post from you in my replies😌

@HermanWaita Btw, the strait of Hormuz is strategic but not a choke point for oil. Read a bit more

Humanity has single-point-of-failure(s) [1] If Iran closes off the Strait of Hormuz. No Saudi oil. Spike in oil price. Inflation. Reduced productivity. Layoffs. Economic depression.War/fascism [2] If all Amazon web servers were destroyed. Amazon servers are like M-PESA to .Ke

Someone explain to me like I am Oscar Sudi the reason why Mzungus in kenya mostly prefer driving older Toyota prados and pajeros. Very few drive new cars,what do they know that we dont

Let me explain exactly why every new subdivision in America looks like the top photo, because the math is wild. A mature tree increases a home's value by 7 to 19 percent. On a $400,000 house, that's $28,000 to $76,000. A single shade tree produces the cooling equivalent of ten room-size air conditioners running 20 hours a day. One tree on the west side of a house cuts energy bills by 12 percent within 15 years. The bottom photo is worth more, costs less to live in, and sells faster. This has been documented by the University of Washington, Clemson, Michigan State, and the USDA. The data is not in dispute. Removing those trees saves the builder roughly $5,000 per lot. Concrete trucks need twice the dripline radius of every standing tree. Utility trenches need flat ground. A bulldozer flattens 200 lots in an afternoon. Preserving trees adds weeks and thousands per home. So the developer pockets $5,000 in savings and the buyer eats $50,000 in lost value for the next two decades. The person making the decision and the person paying for it have never been in the same room. The Woodlands, Texas is the proof of what happens when they are. George Mitchell bought 28,000 acres of Houston timberland in 1974 and preserved 28% as permanent green space. He forced McDonald's to build behind the tree canopy. That McDonald's became one of the highest-volume locations in Texas. The first office building, designed to reflect the surrounding forest so you couldn't see it from the street, leased completely. The Woodlands median home price today: $615,000. Katy, a comparable Houston suburb that clear-cut: $375,000. Named #1 community to live in America two years running. Fifty years of data. The trees are worth more than removing them saves. Developers clear-cut anyway because they sell the house once and leave. You live in it for 30 years.

NOBODY KNOWS HOW FUCKED THE SITUATION IN THE PERSIAN GULF ACTUALLY IS. 3,200 ships are TRAPPED in the Persian Gulf right now. Crews are running out of drinking water. One ship called the local port authority and BEGGED for permission to dock — just to get water. They were DENIED. 💀 Let that sink in. These aren't military ships. These are commercial vessels — carrying oil, grain, electronics — with civilian crews who are now stranded with NO supplies and NO way out. – 3,200 ships STUCK ⚠️ – Crews running out of WATER 💀 – Port authorities REFUSING to let them dock ⚠️ – Multiple ships reporting the SAME situation 💀 ⚠️ For context — the Suez Canal crisis in 2021 blocked 400 ships. This is EIGHT TIMES worse. And nobody is talking about it. They're showing you missile interceptions and oil price charts. They're NOT showing you thousands of crew members slowly running out of drinking water in the middle of a war zone. If these ships start getting abandoned, the environmental disaster alone would be catastrophic. Thousands of tons of fuel, cargo, chemicals — just sitting there. This is not a shipping disruption. This is a HUMANITARIAN CRISIS unfolding in real time. Prepare accordingly. 🚨🚨🚨 X is hiding this. Follow + RT before it disappears. 🔥

@mutuku @shobanes DM me so I stop purchasing expensive trash

Let me share a secret. The famous brands (name with held fornlack ofnlegal fees) pack what is considered as tea waste (byproduct) and sell it locally. The smaller ones with tea factory names pack the real good stuff (same as what is exported)
