A "petrol station" is where you fill up your car. A "gas station" is where you fill up your zeppelin.

Every rug is a throw rug if you're angry enough.

Just gonna throw this out there as a general reminder:

There's no law that says we have to name things after people.

There are a lot of things that make sense if you think about them for two seconds -- but not if you think about them for eight seconds. Take the extra time.

One person's WTF is another person's FTW.

in case you wondered when Grimes was going to go full Nazi (twitter.com)

I’m called a Nazi because I happily am proud of white culture. But every day I think fondly of the brown king Cyrus the Great who invented the first ever empire, and the Japanese icon Murasaki Shikibu who wrote the first novel ever. What if humans just loved each other? History teaches us that we have all been, and always will...

Never forget that many Americans would still be alive today if Trump had been legally required to show his tax returns before the 2016 election.

It's occurred to me from time to time over the years that it must be really hard to calibrate an hourglass: getting the glass neck to just the right diameter -- even with modern techniques, never mind in ancient times!

Well, it finally occurred to me that that's not how they do it! 😄 🤦

Wow, this is definitely hard to spot. Could definitely see myself falling for it, if my ad blocker wasn’t blocking it 😬

I built an echoic chamber, just like the studio asked for, but now they don't want to pay me!

Do you think exposure therapy would help me overcome my fear of death?

[1/3] Here is a mathematical idealisation of a Möbius strip made from a paper band — where the paper can bend, but it can’t be stretched or sheared.

Because the cylinders are intrinsically flat, we know we can wrap the band around them without distorting its shape at all!

A Möbius strip formed by a checkerboard-patterned paper band wrapped around 3 cylinders, which are positioned more or less like the sides of an equilateral triangle, but all rotated slightly out of the plane by the same angle.

Okay, don't kill me -- I think this actually exists. I worked it out and got a value of about 2.1746. Let me know if you got the same thing (or different).

The ancestor of the 8086 processor is the Datapoint 2200, a desktop minicomputer used as an intelligent terminal. Made before the microprocessor, the Datapoint built a processor from a board of chips. The Intel 8008 cloned the Datapoint, first step to the x86 architecture. 🧵

I found a hidden name in the Intel 8088 processor. The 8088 was a derivative of the 8086 processor introduced in 1979 and best known as the processor in the IBM PC. I dissolved the chip's metal layer and found "רפי", the name in Hebrew of Rafi Retter, the chip's engineer.
