Ces cavités joueront un rôle important pour augmenter la luminosité – donc le nombre de collisions – d’un facteur cinq pour le #HiLumiLHC. La luminosité intégrée est un indicateur important des performances d’un accélérateur, étant proportionnelle au nombre de collisions qui se produisent dans un laps de temps donné. Plus elle est élevée, plus les expériences peuvent observer des processus rares. En savoir plus : [CERN_FR]

Now, unfortunately I left France right before the World Cup in 1998 and its subsequent Euro in 2000, therefore I missed the greatest moment in France Football history. Anyway, the Euro 2024 is in Germany, and there’s a outright conspiracy preventing me to be able to afford a new German car until this fucking competition is done in the Summer. Look goddamnit, I can’t drive a Peugeot in USA, they don’t make them over here. I need an Audi or a BMW and I need it pronto. Thank you. Tell Zidane to make his decision, do you want to go take the reign at FFF and prepare us for the long journey until our troixieme étoile? Or do you want to use your godly powers to help Manchester United return to the UCL next year and help us win our fourth Champions League star? I know you’ve talked about it with David Beckham. He’s got a Spice Girl wife at home, and watching the Red Devils out of that competition is pretty depressing for all my supporter friends in England. It would make Alex Ferguson extremely happy, and I can buy new MUFC Track Jackets, mine (home and away) are from a period between 2003-2009.

Therefore, I immediately put my album CD of L’Ecole du Micro d’Argent, and made him listen to “La Saga.” He listens to Rock & Alternative, but I wanted him to listen to this and basically explained to him, these guys are the equivalent of the Wu-Tang Clan, but in France.

What’s up, everybody, here are JETLAG RADIO 1094 & BENKYO RADIO 1094. Everybody remember the ID.R, what a incredible vehicle from VW. Now, the entire ID line-up at VW has been unveiled: ID.4, the ID Buzz, the ID.7, and the super secrective ID.X Performance (551HP). This weekend, there will be a VW Superbowl LVIII AD about its 75th anniversary. What will they display? I hope to God (Jesus, Allah, Buddha, etc) and the Universe, that they announce the VW Passat Wagon R or create a GT model for the North American market. It’s available in Europe, I want it here, with the same INFOTAINMENT LCD screen. It’s large, it’s as big as a Tesla 3, I want it. So far, even after working for over 25 years, including 7 years retail, and 12 years Corporate, and the lack of paychecks for the past 5 years, I have been unable to purchase my first new vehicle. I need one, I absolutely need one. I have been working on my startup/website/blog/podcasts/DJin’ since 2014, that’s over 10 years ago. I need a celebration. I need a new car. I did not ask for the entire Galaxy, I just want a goddamn new vehicle, whether a German-Engineering one, or a JDM one (assuming Nissan creates a MAXIMA NISMO, since I do not have the cashflow or cash liquidity for a SKYLINE GT-R at the moment, and Toyota has yet to create a 4-door SUPRA). Help me out goddamnit, many of you got filthy-rich, I just need $80K-200K to purchase this vehicle. That’s why I hope I win the 80Eighty or TunerCult contests. I could have a new car, and the income to pay off bills, mortgage, and own a new SUV for my wife, and a sports car for myself. Thank you for your help, guys & gals.

What’s up, everybody! Here are JETLAG RADIO 1091 & BENKYO RADIO 1091. Here is my presentation to discuss my whiteboard. Now, a lot of us have odd experiences with whiteboarding. Some have fun, some have anxiety. I was extremely upset with whiteboarding in two situations: in Vacaville, I interviewed for a career job, and while I studied SQL for my certificate, the recruiter said I did not pass the interview. I was extremely sad. I was so mad, one day, I returned to Vacaville, and basically acted like a snobbish rich obnoxious rich white female from the Los Angeles (valleygirl). I went on a shopping spree. I bought clothes from Calvin Klein and Kenneth Cole. I bought shirts and jeans. I bought slacks. I bought Cole Haan shoes. After I was done shopping at the outlets, I went to Buffalo Wild Wings, and had some wings, a beer, and watched the College Football games. There was an Alabama supporter there. It was then and there, that I decided to apply to INTERPOL to help them with a special investigation. In Folsom, California, I was sitting in a meeting room, with my boss’ boss, and a coworker. The coworker went to go use the bathroom, and took longer than usual, I think he had to go number two. I sat there by myself with her, and she asked me to write some stuff on the whiteboard. Now, back then, I was still a newbie, and she was very intimidating. Even more problematic, she is a former Victoria Secret’s model. Anyway, I am sitting next to her, embarrassing enough, I kind of almost pooped myself (I did not, but almost did). Those were my two nightmare experiences with whiteboarding in a work environment. The experience with that woman can be described by Full Metal Panic mythology in a metaphorical sense. “Tessa” is Sagara Sousuke’s superior, she is very powerful, but godly beautiful. Even more problematic, Kaname Chidori is incredibly jealous of her, not realizing that after all is said and done, Sagara picks Kaname over Tessa.

Anyway, here is my whiteboarding work that I have been working on for the past 8 years, since 2014. The creation of JETLAG RADIO, my first podcast, I’ve made over 1700 episodes, way above the number of episodes by Armin van Buuren, Ferry Corsten, Tiesto, Afrojack, so on and so forth. My podcast was telling a story, a very long story. It’s very complicated, there’s action, love, romance, heartbreak, love again, etc. I need started to work on an entire Operating System with my other podcasts: BENKYO RADIO, LAMBDA RADIO, QUANTUM RADIO, GT RADIO, TECHNO RADIO, MU RADIO, OMEGA RADIO, DISCO RADIO, EPSILON RADIO, BETA RADIO, HARD HOUSE RADIO, CYBERPUNK RADIO, ZETA RADIO, KAPPA RADIO, THETA RADIO. Embarrassingly enough, the podcasts are extremely popular. I was excited! I thought, I would finally win the DJ Mag Top 100s and be able to have some advertising, so that I can pay for my expenses. Guess what the fuck happened, the podcasts were so popular, the problem was, it was listened by millions of women, who did not vote for me, because they did not want to admit they listen to these playlists while they masturbate. I was fucking furious, you love these podcasts, but you do not vote for me? I was so excited to win and be featured in the Top 100 of DJ Mag, I’m still reading the latest magazine from the announcement, 30 fucking years of DJ Mag Top DJs, not a single mention of JETLAG RADIO, someone’s head will get cut off for this.

I have done so much work on my podcasts, my writings, so on and so forth, my tweets, and I have tried to enter the 80Eighty DCG #69 contest, which I have lost. I have also entered DCG #70 contest. I’ve entered their contests over 10-20 times, unsuccessfully. I am extremely upset. I did NOT ask for a Ferrari after the MOUNTAIN AMOUNT OF WORK (as big as Mount Fuji) I have provided over the past 8 years, including the past 5 years without a career salary paycheck. I asked for a new German-Engineering vehicle: a BMW or an Audi. I need a new car with an INFOTAINMENT vehicle as soon as possible. I’ve never been able to afford one. I’ve never had more than $500 in my bank account at all time, forever. I need a new car asap. I want the RS7 or RS6 Avant (dream cars), or an BMW M3/M4/M5, but I will settle for an Audi A7/S7 or A8/S8. You guys have the budget, you have the funds, I know there is a woman who has over $20,000,000 following me around, keeping me poor on purpose for the past 30 years, I want to know who she is, I alerted INTERPOL, I know she’s MOSSAD and a Russian speaker, I want her in prison for life. Give me my FUCKING car, I am tired of all your bullshit. I am eager to watch the VW Superbowl commercial, let’s cross our fingers hoping the VW Passat Wagon R 2024 is announced for the North American market, just like it is available for the European market. I hope the electronic music and other music fans enjoy GEEKING OUT over this YouTube video, as you can witness, I am Zaki aka Zack aka IAMZAKI, the creator of JETLAG RADIO, and many other podcasts. Thank you for reading my blog for so many years, I know other readers/fans are a little more lazy and ignored my 2,000,000 words of writing, so now I am making YouTube videos as well.

The reason why I am so upset is simple, if I was white, I wouldn’t have money problems. #BrownLivesMatter

Until Next Time!
