It's another Sunday y'all, and on this one I figure I'll post some.
I've got some more links to share here, most of them courtesy of Tom Scott's newsletter, pretty much the only newsletter I read these days. It's my only real source of new and interesting things on the net too... except for the random videos I stumble upon on YT. Or NG.
Anyway did you know the McDonald’s corporation headquarters used to have a Suede waterbed think tank? Do you know a large part of New York is still heated via steam? And that some Magpies and Crows are using anti-bird spikes to make their nests now? I think that's pretty cool... they've got the same rebellious attitude I've got! Props.
And did you know they tested nuclear bombs in space back in the day?! Starfish Prime was the largest nuclear test conducted in outer space - not the only one! I got that tidbit from a JRE podcast this week.
Also this was pretty cool (and probably the first TikTok video I've ever linked to here - I do so with certain resistance - cause it's TikTok).
Finally this might be the most introspective company cost breakdown and review I've ever seen, and I appreciate that! If you're starting a business, and you need some tips on what to save in on; what potential pitfalls you can avoid with management and hosting: it's a good read.
IRL I've noticed that with old shampoo bottles - at least the one I'm currently using, it seems like you actually get more fragrance when you start to reach the bottom of the bottle! It seems like over time that's where all the scent-related particulates accumulate.
So if you think your shampoo's getting less and less interesting... just you wait! You'll grow to appreciate that shampoo again soon enough.
I've also glued my shoes this week - the soles keep loosening, we're getting fiber drawn into our house in November - since they're forcefully removing all traditional landlines here, and I tried some Gilt-head bream earlier this week (it was good), but that's a bit less interesting innit?
We just switched to summertime today - which means we just moved our clocks up one hour - which means I need to get up one hour earlier for work tomorrow - which means I've gotta get to bed in time... it's always nicer to go from summer to wintertime than it is this way around...
No matter though! Life moves on. And don't miss that recent idgames archive post. If you're not fully satisfied with the official archives, or want a less regularly updated one. Or just like DOOM. Or mirrors?
Actually never mind. Feel free to miss it. Happy Sunday though!
...and Good Night.
