Things I learned lately 29 Sep

• Ontario is putting a lot of its future power eggs in the nuclear basket.
• Swiss university students broke the World Record for electric car acceleration, achieving 0 - 100 km/h in just 0.956 seconds.
  
  
  
• On September 3rd, 1987, Dic Ann's restaurant on Boul. Pie-IX in Montreal-North set a Guinness record by serving 1,306 cheeseburgers in 60 minutes. SPCUM station 45 officers maintained security around the eatery at the corner of De Castille and the lineup extended up to Monselet St. The cheeseburgers were free.
• The Fox network passed on The Sopranos television series.
• All of the honey bees you see foraging are females. 95% of a hive’s bees are female.
• Male honey bees only exist to congregate with other males from other hives to mate with a queen from another hive (for genetic diversity). They die immediately after mating. They don’t even have stingers. 
• Male bees are kicked out of the hive when the hive is preparing for winter. They do not survive long since they don’t know how to forage and there’s little for them to eat anyway.
• Bees only forage within a 2 mile radius of their hive. This is one of the reasons why monoculture farming is not healthy for bees.
• The 5 most efficient EVs available in 2023 are: Chevy Bolt; Hyundai Kona EV; Kia Niro EV; Tesla Model 3 (RWD); Hyundai Ioniq 6.
• Finland’s National Day for Failure, has been celebrated on October 13th every year since 2010.
• Pyrolized used coffee grounds can be substituted for silica sand on the fabrication of concrete, and it makes the concrete 30% stronger.
