Things I learned lately 24 Jun

• The Mark Cuban Cost Plus Drug Company sells online drugs at 15% over cost. For example, a 30 day supply of Imatinib, used to treat leukemia, sells on Cuban's site for $17.10 versus $2,502.60 at other pharmacies.
• The phrases "on Broadway" and "off Broadway" don't refer to the geographic location of a performance, but the capacity of the theater in which it is performed. On Broadway venues can seat 500+ viewers, whereas off Broadway venues seat 100-499 viewers (the rarely used "off-off Broadway" refers to venues with less than 100 seats).
• By default, when you normally copy with Ctrl+C and Paste with Ctrl+V in Windows, the clipboard captures not only the text you've selected but also the formatting. That includes font style, text colour, attributes such as bold and italic, and even bullets. There’s an easy way to avoid it. The next time you want to paste only the text without any formatting or style information, press Ctrl+Shift+V on your keyboard in Windows 10 or 11. This won't work in Word, where you would use the Paste icon with the 'A' (keep text only) to accomplish the same thing.
  
  
  
• Here’s the harsh truth about putting a wet phone in rice—it does absolutely nothing. Rice does not have magical moisture-wicking powers. You might as well just put the phone in a completely empty bowl.
• There's a new Munsters movie coming out in the fall written and directed by Rob Zombie. Take my money.
• In the Canadian military, the basic rule of men's hair length was "If it fits under your beret, it can be as long as it wants". Which meant the sides and back had to be short, but the top could be ridiculously long. It made for interesting hair styles, especially in the New wave era of the 1980s.
• Scooby Doo is a show that teaches kids that the villains in our lives are usually not strangers, but rather people we know and trust.
• Many libraries in New York City were outfitted with secret apartments for the maintenance staff and their families to live in. There are 13 library apartments still remaining in NYC. Most have already been renovated and assimilated into regular library use; some house computer rooms, some are used for storage, and some are used to hold programs and events. The remaining apartments are all empty, and will probably be re-purposed in the near future, as funds allow.
