Things I learned lately 29 Nov

• There's a calendar called 'dad bod and rescue dog'. It's real.
• Lack of pipelines is not the only reason Canada's fossil fuel industry has a slimmer profit margin than the same industry in other countries. Cold weather, isolated extraction sites and less efficient refining (again due to cold weather) are also significant factors.
• In a Bloomberg survey of 5,000 Tesla Model 3 owners, 99% said they would recommend their car to family or friends, an 98% would buy the car again. 98% also said the Model 3 surpassed their expectations.
• If Bernie Sanders' revised wealth tax had been around since 1982, Walmart heir Jim Walton's net worth would be $5 billion versus the $45 billion he was worth in 2018. Sergey Brin and Larry Page (Google co-founders) would each have a net worth of $19 billion versus $52 or so billion. Mark Zuckerberg: $28b versus $61b. Warren Buffet: $8b versus $88b. Bill Gates: $10b versus $97b. Jeff Bezos: $43b versus $160b. Having said that, the money would have provided free education and health care and probably a green economy as a result.
• Albert Einstein did not fail mathematics classes (never "flunked a math exam") in school. 
• The forbidden fruit mentioned in the book of Genesis is never identified as an apple. The original Hebrew texts mention only 'tree' and 'fruit'. Early Latin translations use the word 'mali', which can be taken to both mean 'evil' and 'apple'. In early Germanic languages the word 'apple' and its cognates usually meant simply 'fruit'.
