Here is a list of my favourite super-useful interactive sites on the internet (use desktop/laptop/tablet)
1. This absolutely stunning Bloomberg special edition on the Periodic Table of Elements bloomberg.com/features/2019-…
2. This jaw-dropping exploration of all moons in the Solar system (just keep scrolling down) by National Geographic nationalgeographic.com/science/2019/0…
3. This tourist map of music that allows you to input an artist you know and find others that are similar to them (e.g. those who like Tool will also like Rage Against The Machine) music-map.com
4. The Sideways dictionary - that uses crowdsourcing to explain complex tech concepts using simple analogies sidewaysdictionary.com/#/
5. The automatic meal planner that lets you put in a target caloric intake and it will generate a recommended menu - eatthismuch.com
6. This interactive radio that lets you pick a decade and a part of the world and listen to what people from that time and place would have likely heard on the radio radiooooo.com
7. This Muscle wiki that lets you pick a muscle and see exercises (as gifs) for it musclewiki.org
8. This astonishing site that lets you pick a city in the world and listen to radio channels in real-time (obviously, only those channels that also have an internet stream) radio.garden
That's it for now. Please share your favourites (preferably as a reply, not a quote reply, to this thread)

#TIL the organic molecule Geosmin is responsible for the strong earthy/muddy smell of petrichor (the smell of rain on dry earth) and our noses are so sensitive to it that we can detect 5 parts per trillion! It is produced by soil bacteria
A fun fact: when these soil bacteria die in large numbers, their geosmin gets into the ground water, making it taste really muddy. We love its smell in the air and dislike its taste in our water.
And geosmin's presence in freshwater fish (and snails) give them that distinct earthy flavour. And since acids break down geosmin, squeezing lime on freshwater fish is quite common.

One of the most common cooking errors I’ve seen in Indian kitchens is keeping the temp. of oil high when adding mustard, jeera, hing & other whole spices. All that does is entirely kill flavour molecules. The idea is to extract & dissolve spice flavours in the oil by slow heating
Pro tip: at low heat, add red chillies, fenugreek, mustard, jeera, saunf & pepper to a largish amount of oil & let it cook for ~15 mins. Then filter out the spices & use the “infused oil” in your cooking to add an insane flavour punch (Chinese cooking does this all the time)
Restaurants manage cook at high speed by keeping base gravies and infused oil ready ahead of time (both are extremely slowly cooked, but in large volumes). High temp cooking at home is essentially a waste of good spices

Hey y'all, I'm sitting down in a little bit to chat with the extremely brilliant Saul Griffith of @otherlab. What should I ask him?
By the way, have you seen Otherlab's "super Sankey" interactive diagram of US energy use? It is amazeballs. departmentof.energy
Or if you prefer, here it is in one image.

Scientists using the LIGO (League/Connection) & VIRGO (Virgin) detectors find proof of 2 colliding Neutron Stars which caused ripples in Spacetime fabric, showering our Solar System with Gold & heavier elements than Iron; complete nonsense!

thesun.co.uk/tech/4696009/a…
Nuclear fusion of Hydrogen forms Helium, demonstrated in Thermo-Nuclear weapons; Theoretical nuclear fusion ends at Iron, the center of the periodic table of elements because the reactions become Endothermic ie they require more energy to initiate than they produce.
Science is the “Tongue of the Chaldeans” Dan 1:4 & “Vain babblings” 1Ti 6:20 The solution this conundrum is “Rapid Neutron Capture”, pure Chaldean Bullshit.

CHARLIE MUNGER'S 7 IRON LAWS:

Charlie Munger has been the biggest COGNITIVE INFLUENCE on my life so far.

Here are a list of my favourite PRINCIPLES from the eccentric billionaire.

THREAD...
MUNGERS LAW #1 - IF IN DOUBT, INVERT.

“It is remarkable how much long-term advantage people like us have gotten by trying to be consistently not stupid, instead of trying to be very intelligent.”

Avoiding stupidity is easier than seeking excellence, yet nobody does it.
His golden piece of advice is two-fold:

1. Avoid being lazy
2. Avoid being unreliable

No matter how connected, well-read or talented you are - if you don't avoid these two, you are destined to fail.
