How to slow down a car; clutch then brake or brake then clutch?

Image
  To slow down a car, the correct sequence to follow depends on whether you are driving a manual or an automatic transmission vehicle. For a manual transmission car, the ideal sequence is to first depress the clutch pedal, then apply the brakes. Pressing the clutch pedal effectively disengages the engine from the wheels, allowing you to shift gears or bring the vehicle to a stop without stalling the engine. By doing this, you can control your speed and safely slow down the car without putting excessive strain on the brakes. On the other hand, if you are driving an automatic transmission car, you don't need to worry about pressing the clutch pedal. In this case, you can simply apply the brakes to slow down the vehicle. Most modern automatic transmissions have a torque converter that allows the engine to keep running even if the vehicle comes to a complete stop. Regardless of the type of car you are driving, it is crucial to remember to use the brakes gradually and smoothly, rather t...

THE PASTOR’S ASS (joke)

Image
  A pastor entered his donkey in a race and it won. The pastor was so pleased with the donkey that he entered it in another race, and it won again. The local paper read: PASTOR’S ASS OUT FRONT. The Bishop was so upset with this kind of publicity that he ordered the pastor not to enter the donkey in another race. The next day, the local paper headline read: BISHOP SCRATCHES PASTOR’S ASS. This was too much for the bishop, so he ordered the pastor to get rid of the donkey. The pastor decided to give it to a nun in a nearby convent. The local paper, hearing of the news, posted the following headline the next day: NUN HAS BEST ASS IN TOWN. The bishop fainted. He informed the nun that she would have to get rid of the donkey, so she sold it to a farmer for $10. The next day the paper read: NUN SELLS ASS FOR $10. This was too much for the bishop, so he ordered the nun to buy back the donkey and lead it to the plains where it could run wild. The next day the ad lines read: NUN ANNOUNCES HER...

Making money with cryptocurrency

 WAYS OF MAKING MONEY THROUGH CRYPTOCURRENCY.  There are various ways of making money through Crypto currency, but majorly there's; • Trading • Investing Trading- this involves the exchange of a crypto currency for fiat or other coins. Most traders trade daily, and have a good understanding of the market. There's also spot and futures trading. These will be treated in another book.  Investing- This involves buying Crypto currency and holding it for a particular period of time (usually long term) with the hope or market prediction that it'd rise to a certain significant amount during that period. Though investing can be a bit safer, they are both high risk either ways because you could invest in a coin and it only depreciates in the long run, and you could also buy a coin and sell at a loss as a day trader.  Generally, Crypto is volatile, thus the fear many have towards it. However there is a risk free  aspect of crypto which many do not know about. And there com...

Introduction to Cryptocurrency

 INTRODUCTION INto CRYPTOCURRENCY  What is cryptocurrency?  A cryptocurrency is a digital currency built on a block chain, and it's designed to help you make payments online seamless , amongst other things. It was first introduced into the world in 2013, by Satoshi Nakamoto. What makes this quite different from other online payment platforms like PayPal, etc. is that crypto currency is mostly decentralized and is not governed by any central body or authority. This is one major difference. The major cryptocurrencies in the blockchain world include: Bitcoin, Ethereum, DOGE, USDT, BUSD and other coins. Some coins retain their original value as equal to the USD even with the market forces which only slight affect their value. These are called stablecoins (e.g USDT, BUSD etc) while others are generally referred to as altcoins (alternative coins).  I will quickly mention several terms/abbreviations associated with the crypto space because we will be needing some of them es...

Recent coups across Africa

This intervention was triggered by internal power struggles ...

Immortality around the corner!

  Telomerase, a catalyst liable for keeping up with the length of telomeres (defensive covers at the closures of chromosomes), assumes a pivotal part in cell maturing and life expectancy. Telomeres normally abbreviate with every cell division, at last prompting cell senescence or cell passing. Telomerase can balance this shortening system by adding DNA arrangements to the telomeres, subsequently expanding their length. While telomerase has been connected to cell everlasting status in specific organic entities, for example, particular kinds of malignant growth cells, its job in human maturing and eternality is more perplexing. In most human cells, telomerase movement is normally low or missing, bringing about continuous telomere shortening and possible cell senescence. There is progressing research investigating the expected ramifications of telomerase initiation for life expectancy augmentation and age-related sicknesses. In any case, it is fundamental to take note of that accompli...
