Things I learned lately 9 Jun

• The states that will be hardest hit by Canada's response to US steel and aluminum tariffs are Ohio, Michigan, New York, Pennsylvania and Illinois.
• After deploying the National Guard at the US-Mexico border, the number of illegal border crossings and arrests continues to rise, with no end in sight.
• As coffee made its way out of Ethiopia to the rest of the world, it was an insanely controversial drink. The fact that people loved and enjoyed it was enough to brand it as sinful. Ottoman Sultan Murad IV took note of coffee's popularity and set out to destroy the coffeehouses of Istanbul in 1633. Being caught drinking coffee in public would get you beaten on the first offence, a second offence meant death.
• Banza pasta noodles, made from chickpeas, have protein, fibre and 40% fewer carbs than traditional pasta.
• Supposedly, Hotwire offers steep car rental discounts by offering opaque booking (no clue what agency until you arrive).
• West Wing staff intentionally insert grammatical errors into Twitter messages they draft for Donald Trump, seeking to mimic his unconventional style.
• If you visit Google Maps (satellite view) and zoom out far enough, you'll have the option to explore several planets and moons in our own solar system.
