Things I learned lately 18 February

  • Tupac Shakur was born in East Harlem. He went to the Baltimore School for the Arts in the tenth grade, where he studied acting, poetry, jazz, and ballet.
  • Tesla will open all supercharger stations in the Netherlands to all EV vehicle brands.
  • The watch made its migration from the pocket to the wrist during World War I, when soldiers were obligated to attach them to their arms for coordinated attacks, instead of fumbling in their pockets. Before then, the "bracelet watch" had mostly been regarded as a joke and silly-ass fad".
  • German chocolate cake was invented by an English-American baker named Samuel German and has nothing to do with the country of Germany.
  • It can be hard to visualize the difference between a million and a billion. Visualize this: A million seconds is over 11 days. A billion seconds is just under 32 years.
  • The Heimlich maneuver wasn’t invented until 1974.
  • Nowhere does it say that Humpty Dumpty was an egg.
  • Wood is cellulose. Cellulose is a polysaccharide. Polysaccharides are complex sugars. We live in candy houses...
  • The lighter was invented before the match.
  • Since it’s discovery in 1930 Pluto has yet to orbit the sun and won’t until 2178.
  • The prototype of the Rolls Royce Ghost was so quiet inside that it made test drivers sick. The engineers had to remove some of the noise isolating material, and create seats that vibrated at specific frequencies to introduce some noise into the interior.
