Links to things I found interesting but didn't want to do a full blog post about.
- In Search Of A Flood Like No Other. "Zanclean Megaflood? What's that, a glam-rock band?"
- "Mars and Beyond" is a 1957 Disney show about life on other planets. (YouTube link). I remember watching this as a kid. It's worth watching if just for the wonderful animation.
- The internet’s funniest doctor is in on the joke. "Will Flanary’s days are spent conducting eye exams and cataract surgeries at a private practice outside Portland, Ore. The evenings are for family, and a standing commitment to make dinner for his wife and two daughters. That leaves nights and weekends for the ring light, the iPhone, and Flanary’s alter ego, an internet celebrity known as Dr. Glaucomflecken."
- The Red State Murder Problem. "The rate of murders in the US has gone up at an alarming rate. But, despite a media narrative to the contrary, this is a problem that afflicts Republican-run cities and states as much or more than the Democratic bastions."
- Coronal Loops Might Not Be Loops at All – “When I Saw the Results, My Mind Exploded.”
- Sydney to Perth in five days in a short-range BYD T3 electric van. "When Steve Gill decided to buy one of a very limited number of electric T3 vans from BYD importer EV Direct he had to make the unusual decision of driving it unregistered (but with a permit) from its pickup point in Sydney to Perth in just five days, the longest time period a permit can cover."
- The Mystery at the Heart of Physics That Only Math Can Solve. "The accelerating effort to understand the mathematics of quantum field theory will have profound consequences for both math and physics." This is the best article on quantum physics that I've seen in a very long time.
- When Graphs Are a Matter of Life and Death. "Pie charts and scatter plots seem like ordinary tools, but they revolutionized the way we solve problems."
