Car manufacturers leave a 2% speedo error so you do not get challaned by the speed camera when you are driving at the speed limit. If you change your tire profile, that error also changes which can lead to more fines if drive at the exact limit.

We Indians are living with a rushed/reactive/easily panicked nervous system. As another commenter mentioned that Alto driver probably panicked - the more incidents I see in my daily life and here on your page, the more I feel that we also need training to handle panic at difficult situations like these, otherwise the bodily responses will take over. On a side note, I keep honking in the city while riding, because I have fear that someone will come from the blind spot. (It has happened countless times)

1) In India, 2-wheeler riders ride their vehicles like a horse, whose side vision has been covered by blockers. At intersection, checking left and right is of utmost importance. 2) The car driver is above average speed approaching the intersection. No slowing down, just assuming that nobody will come from other sides of the road. 3) Plus, the bike rider is coming from side road, which looks unpaved and the tractor and trees (on both sides) are acting as a blind spot for car driver. No sign boards on the road too. 4) But since it's a village road, cars need to go at slower speeds, otherwise things like this will continue to happen.

@kevin_jordan__ Yeah, it doesn't feel good when we've to rely on external pressure/urgency to do the tasks. Like, we could have achieved/done so much more with our time.

ADHD adults do 90% of their work in 10% of their week. We only perform when urgency or interest is high. The other 90% of the time, our brain is somewhere else. That's why a 2 minute email can sit in drafts for 11 days.

@anishmoonka Evolution did us dirty. Sometimes, I seriously question evolution: “Despite all the things available in the world, how come it came to this point that mosquitoes need our blood for nutrients?” Plus, they are highly irritating creatures. x.com/pathless__path…
Pratik@pathless__path

Mosquitoes were also created to ragebait humans and test their patience. Like why the heck you would continuously make highly irritating buzzing sounds while I'm trying to sleep or concentrate on work.

A mosquito can smell the air you breathe out from 50 meters away, about half a football field. Your house is screaming "human" to every fly and mosquito in range, and they evolved to come find you. To a butterfly, the same house is silent. Flies and mosquitoes evolved to follow us around. The common housefly spread across the planet from the Middle East by trailing our garbage and farm animals. Nine out of every ten flies you see indoors are this one species. Mosquitoes lock onto the carbon dioxide in your breath. A 2015 Caltech study mapped the mechanism in detail. Your body heat, your sweat, your shower steam, your trash, all of it is what these insects evolved to track down. Butterflies went the opposite direction. They evolved to find flowers, with smell receptors tuned to flower chemistry. A kitchen full of frying bacon doesn't even register. They drink nectar through a long coiled straw called a proboscis, built for flowers and not much else you'd find in your house. The navigation problem is bigger. Most butterflies fly only during daylight hours, steering by the position of the sun. Monarchs have a tiny brain region that tracks the sun across the sky like a built-in GPS. Inside a house, the sun disappears. Indoor lighting gives them nothing to navigate by. The compass just breaks. Any butterfly that drifts indoors loses its bearings within seconds, which is why one trapped in a sunroom bashes against the windows for hours. Butterflies can't generate their own body heat. They are basically little solar panels, needing direct sunlight to warm their flight muscles to around 86 degrees Fahrenheit before takeoff. Most rooms never get that warm, which is why a butterfly indoors can barely fly. And there is nothing in your house for a butterfly to do. They only lay eggs on very specific plants, like milkweed for monarchs or thistle for painted ladies. Your couch is neither, so even a butterfly that loved your living room couldn't reproduce there. About 18,000 butterfly species share these traits. Houseflies, by contrast, are one of the most successful animal partners humans have ever had, even though nobody asked for them. The joke is right, just for the wrong reason. Butterflies skip your house because nothing in it looks like a flower in open sunshine.

One thing about butterflies they do not fly in your house that’s a bug with class

@GrizzKhan But he hasn't been offered a new contract and the season's about to end. I don't feel Edwards and Hughes are oblivious to what's going on. Maybe they are acting silently behind the scenes. Hopefully, we'll get some Fabinho style good news after the season ends.

As iv said many times , I don’t think Edwards and Hughes are in favour of Alonso as much as many think or hope. So much uncertainty around our club at the moment as no one really knows what’s going to happen. Intriguing few weeks ahead. #LFC

@David_Ornstein @TheAthleticFC David dear, you nearly scared me. (LFC supporter here) But the good thing is that this will finally force Hughes and Edwards to act, who otherwise have been acting at Snail's pace.

🚨 Chelsea exploring deal to appoint Xabi Alonso as next head coach. 44yo former #RMFC boss understood to be open to possibility, although nothing decided yet as process continues. Andoni Iraola also strong contender ahead of departing #AFCB @TheAthleticFC nytimes.com/athletic/69645…

The quality of your life depends on your emotional skills. If you don't have them, then everyday becomes unnecessarily hard to get through. You'll be tossed and turned by the waves of emotions, and will be at their mercy for relief. P.S. - I have personally gone through this phase.

So you're telling me that Xabi Alonso is going to join Chelsea, because our stubborn, egoistic board can't accept the fact that they've made a mistake by keeping Slot and he's going to stay for next season as well👍 Tough times ahead

2) Many times, when doing deep work (reading, writing, etc), an impulse of checking social media would come to mind. In 2025, I would have acted on that impulse 9/10 times. But now, I would act on that impulse around 5/10 times now. And that's a huge improvement for me.

If you want to: - Reduce acting on your impulses - Have a degree of control over your mind Then, I would genuinely recommend yoga. I can't tell you how much it has helped me so much with the above 2 points. You can check out some examples from my life below:
