As for myself, I prefer Motorsports, as always. If you’re in the MLS, please work harder, because the FIFA World Cup 2026 is only months away. Did you know that the year 2026 is about 4 months away? It’s coming. Soon. I sure could use a California Pizza Kitchen pizza with Shiitake mushrooms and wear my Sacramento Republic FC jersey, unfortunately it’s a little small on me due to my Dadbod (I’m 42 now). At least, they’ve confirmed constructions on the new Sac Republic FC Stadium. Great success!

What’s up, everybody! It’s Monday, September 1st, 2025. Unfortunately, most banks are closed Monday, September 1st, 2025. This is unfortunate, but it doesn’t bother me, because I cannot afford to go to bank and make a deposit, because I have not receive paychecks from an employer in 6-7 years. This is after 30,000 job applications sent, and the response with 33,000 #IntelCorp employers fired/layoffs. I still need a Remote/Hybrid/On-Site Project Manager position, preferably $80K/year-$120K/year-as high as $180K/year, and as long as $60K/year because it’s been so long without a paycheck. As always, due to discrimination and using the power of the law in my hands, if you do not hire me due to my middle name being Ahmad but you hire tens of thousands of Indians instead, you must fire them. One by one. Let those 33,000 layoffs at #IntelCorp be a warning. Until I receive employment. Thank you for your attention. #HaroldAndKumar4 TBA. PS. Coffee With Zack (in English) VLOG later today.

Nanotechnology is an emerging field with potential applications for Ehlers-Danlos syndromes (EDS) in advanced diagnosis and future regenerative therapies. By working at the molecular and cellular level, nanotechnology could help bypass the genetic faults that cause EDS, but research is still in the early stages. [Gemini AI via Google Search] #EhlersDanlosSyndrome #EDS #ChronicIllness #Nanotechnology

Nanotechnology for peanut allergies is an area of ongoing research, not a current treatment, involving nanoparticles that deliver specific proteins or genetic material (mRNA) to the liver or target immune cells to induce tolerance and prevent severe allergic reactions. Two primary nanotechnology approaches show promise in preclinical studies: delivering mRNA to liver cells to "teach" the immune system tolerance, and using decorated nanoparticles to selectively "shut down" mast cells involved in allergic responses. These are experimental methods designed to be more specific and potentially safer than existing treatments. [Gemini AI on Google Search] #Nanotechnology
