I’ve learned in last 24 hours:
1. The human ear is sensitive enough to detect particles moving as little as 1/10th the radius of an atom.
2. Lantern fish are significant enough an impedance to sonar that they can appear to be the sea floor.
3. Military manuals > scientific papers for TTRPG design

@es-de.org hey, I installed the latest update and it really made my day. The play time tracking plugs nicely into my game dashboards.
I'd like to pitch in a bit, but would prefer not having to deal with patreon again. Do you also have alternative ways of donation?

The dolphins are getting Alzheimer’s from algae blooms
caused by warming waters and toxic runoff
and you could see the bloodstains in Sudan
from space.
The cobalt is mined by children
and the music is made by robots
and the grownups are wondering
where the fireflies went.

Mind-blowingly rare first editions of esoteric books that I got to hold yesterday (courtesy of Justin Sledge), #1 of 5:
Meric Casaubon’s “A True and Faithful Relation” (London, 1659), the legendary OG account of the Enochian magic of John Dee and Edward Kelly.

However, some of the cost cutting comes from stuff you can't see.
Suit jackets, sport coats, and overcoats are typically made with multiple layers of material, which are used to give the garment shape (otherwise, the coat would be very limp, like a t-shirt).

I love how technology lets us efficiently do work in minutes in a parallel process that would normally take hours individually.
I do not need ‘tricks’ to turn 5 minutes of work into 4 minutes.
