Things I learned lately 10 Sep

  • Wild boar trample natural habitats, devour crops and harass livestock. They contaminate water sources by wallowing in wetlands, and carry diseases that can spread to domesticated pigs. There’s a bounty on them in Alberta worth $75 per pair of ears, but nobody will tell hunters where they can find them.

  • Out of the 56 nuclear reactors France has, only 24 of them are running at the moment. France promises to restart all 32 remaining reactors by winter to provide extra electricity in light of the reduced supply of natural gas from Russia.
  • There are some day planners whose covers are made of a kind of textured plastic that if you use your fingernails on them, it sounds like you're a DJ scratching a mix with a turntable and some vinyl records.
  • The 3 densest cities in the world are all in the Philippines.
  • A movie based on the old Ultraman TV series is coming out soon.
  • In Norway, CEOs make 11x more than their average worker. In the US, it’s 350x more.
  • There are over 86,000 people in Japan over 100 years old.
  • 6% of Americans think they could beat a grizzly bear in a fight. I say let them do it. Best Darwin Awards ever.
