Things I learned lately 21 May


  • There's a guy at work who for the fun of it, likes trolling any social media platform he's not yet banned from. It's like his hobby.
  • The IKEA Duktig doll bed is meant for dolls. But people find they work great as cat beds. $24.99 at IKEA Canada.
  • Elon Musk's new son is named X Æ A-12. Or X Ash A Twelve as it's pronounced.
  • A 2007 report points to modest energy balance results for corn ethanol produced in the US: one unit of fossil-fuel energy is required to create 1.3 energy units from the resulting ethanol. The energy balance for sugarcane ethanol produced in Brazil is more favourable, with one unit of fossil-fuel energy required to create 8 units of energy from the ethanol.
  • There are four times as many CEO psychopaths per capita than the general population.
