Nikocado Avocado Woke up 250lbs Lighter! Vegan Again?!

Image
The Mukbang king, Nikocado Avocado, broke his 7 month silence after uploading a video to his channel last night.   He first appeared in the video wearing a big Panda head mask.  Beyond that gigantic panda mask, there was something noticeably different about Nick!   There was a super thin body under the mask!  Could this be a clone of Nikocado?  Is this really the same person who would down several cheeseburgers, nuggets, stuffed tacos and huge plates of noodles in one sitting?  Nikocado is the self proclaimed mukbang king of the internet and with that title came loads of weight gain. It was a real shock to see him slimmer than what he used to be as a vegan.  At the beginning of the video, he stated how he was "two steps ahead."  He went on to say that he had been a part of one of the greatest social experiments of his entire life and likened himself to being a villain of a story where he was able to have significant influence over his followers while remaining two steps ahead

Notch Free iPhone Coming?

Is Apple getting ready to reveal a notch-less iphone? The notch is probably the #1 design issue that iphone users dislike the most since its introduction on the iphone X in 2017. The large notch in the middle of the screen takes away from the edge-to-edge display. Placing the notch in the current location of the phone was not a good design idea.  



Apple filed for a patent that expands the phone display, eliminates the notch and scrolls from within. When the display expands, the notch suddenly will become hidden.  



The patent was recently won on July 20th. 

Did iphone users even care all that much for an edge-to-edge display? Probably not, however, it’s possible that Apple may have wanted to introduce a phone that is somewhat similar to their competitors. When Apple removed the physical home button from their phone a few years ago, they received a ton of backlash and they’re probably still receiving it today.  Some users have publicly voiced their opinions about Apple and its current state on online forums and blogs. Others may have done  so privately. 

I got in touch with Tim Cook recently and thankfully, I was able to have a conversation with one of his executives. While I’m still side-eyeing the process for the situation that led me to contact, I was glad that my thoughts were heard.  When he was alive, Steve would often respond to customers when they contacted even though that was not a part of his job description.  He had a hand in every pie concerning Apple. I would say that the loyalty that so many have towards Apple is more than likely due to the honest fact that they simply have reliable and great products.  Others will never forget Steve Jobs and all that he did to propel the company to what it is today.   He placed all his breath, courage and essence into his products and company and he clearly expected his employees and successors to follow suit.

Every time I think about Steve Jobs, I always wonder, would he be impressed or happy with the current state of Apple? Would he be pleased with the products being put out?  The physical home button was a signature feature that Steve engineered for his products. When I saw the iphone X in 2017, I was a bit perturbed. Yes, it’s important to be innovative and there is always a need to take the present time and age into account but in my opinion, “If ain’t broke, don’t fix it!” 

I have to admit that I took a dive to the other side recently and joined the android boys and girls due to the current design particulars that I don’t really care for on the current iphones. The excessively big notch is certainly the foremost. I even wrote a scathing piece in the past to express my experience and titled it, “So Long iPhone.”  But people can have changes of heart right? My forgiving nature won and no, that article won’t see the light of day.

Apple announced that their annual Fall Apple event will take place on September 14th and maybe--just maybe--the newest model of the iphone will see a return of the home button or possibly even a slimmed down notch. I’m sure there are apple enthusiasts looking forward to that day. The home button was a feature that millions of Apple users around the globe came to know and love.  Its disappearance was a mystery that really didn’t need to happen.  Hopefully Apple comes through for its tribe and sprinkles some Apple magic back onto us.

Image
Apple premiered their yearly Apple Event introducing the new Apple Series 9 Apple Watch and the iPhone 15 standard, plus and pro models.  During the event, a commercial was premiered featuring Octavia Spencer, Tim Cook (CEO of Apple), Lisa Jackson (VP of Environment, Policy and Social Initiatives.  This funny commercial saw Octavia present herself as “Mother Nature,” a stern yet comical corporate responsibility officer.  Before Octavia entered the scene, all the officers and workers at the meeting were shuffling around looking nervous and anxious while drinks shook on the table.   We even saw Tim Cook rehearsing the lines that he would repeat to Mother Nature when she entered.   After Mother Nature arrives, Tim Cook, asks her “how was the weather getting in?” Mother Nature then says, “the weather was however I wanted it to be!”   Mother nature reminds Mr. Cook of his promise in 2020—which is to bring Apple’s carbon footprint to zero by 2030. As the commercial ensued, the viewer learns

Leave the Sea Turtles Alone: Nine Die from Consuming Marine Turtle Meat

Image
Nine individuals passed away from consumption of endangered marine turtles in Pemba Island, Zanzibar last month.  A total of eight children and one adult died due to chelonitoxism or food poisoning from the contaminated turtle meat.  Death from chelonitoxication is thought to be a rare happening and is mostly associated with consuming marine turtles such as Green sea turtle, Hawksbill turtle, Olive Ridley and Leatherback turtles.    Consumption of sea turtles is considered a delicacy in remote places and African countries such as Tanzania and Madagascar, French Polynesia and Indo-Pacific regions.  The sea meat is usually consumed at celebratory gatherings.  The individuals who cook and consume marine turtles are unable to decipher if the meat is toxic because the marine turtles appear healthy and do not display any symptoms.  The chelonitoxins cannot be destroyed through heat or cooking.  The chelonitoxism that occurs in marine turtles are due to environmental factors which may include
