Found a great Reddit thread putting historical dates into perspective.

Some gems 🧵

1/ "The moon landing was only 66yrs after the first manned aircraft flight (1903-1969). Within a lifetime, humans went from not having flight technology to travelling 239,000 miles from Earth." ImageImage
2/ In fact, Orville Wright and Neil Armstrong overlapped, with Wright passing away when Armstrong was 17 years old.

On his 1969 mission to the moon, Armstrong brought fabric and propeller pieces from the Wright Brother's 1903 Kitty Hawk flight. Image
3/ On a related note...Cleopatra (b. 69 BC) lived closer in time to the moon landing (1969) than the construction of the pyramids (~2600 BC) Image

Just got a Columbia jacket to deflect the comical amount of money that is about to rain down on my portfolio

Went down a rabbit hole looking for cross-industry innovations (AKA one industry borrowing from another).

Found some good ones 🧵

1/ James Dyson created the Dyson vacuum design after seeing how sawmills use cyclone force to eject sawdust.
2/ The OG example: Henry Ford's car assembly line borrowed innovations from 3 industries:

• Watch (interchangeable parts)
• Canning (continuous flow manufacturing)
• Meatpacking (Ford reversed the "disassembly" part of the meatpacking process - AKA chopping up cows)
3/ BMW created its iDrive system -- a way to safely manage your control panel (e.g., keep your eyes on the road while driving) -- by borrowing from video game controllers.

Over the years, I've talked to 3 billionaires.

Here's what we talked about (and what I learned): 🧵
1/ **In the gardening area at Home Depot**

Billionaire 1: Excuse, could you tell me where I can find potting fertilizer?

Me: Sorry, I don't work here. But I think it's one row over.

LESSON: Don't wear your Home Depot Halloween costume to Home Depot when it's not Halloween.
2/ **Sent cold email to a billionaire**

Me: Hi sir, I have studied your career on Wikipedia and would like to pick your brain.

Billionaire 2: This is the 500th email you've sent with the same text. I'm notifying authorities.

LESSON: Canada has strong digital anti-spam laws.

Just read a great Reddit thread: "What is a life hack that seems fake, but is a true lifesaver?"

Some gold ones 🧵

1/ "If your ring gets stuck on your finger, windex will slide it right off...you can also reduce the the size of your finger but chilling it in cold water."
2/ "You can do the Heimlich maneuver on yourself. Use a chair or countertop, press yourself against it (right under your rib cage), and press down hard. Should force air up and dislodge blockage." Image
3/ "Rubbing alcohol removes chewing gum and gets paint off of clothes" Image
