i had open heart surgery 4 days before my third birthday. the nurses blew up latex gloves as balloons for me. i had a cookie monster birthday cake.

I was once an extra in a terrible indie film in a scene with Michael Dorn and Anne Ramsey.

As in “Lieutenant Commander Worf” Michael Dorn? 😱

The very same. I won’t even post the trailer here because it’s just that bad.

Still though, that's awesome.

I can neither confirm nor deny this.

👀🤣

I mean, the premise wasn’t even that awful. It’s based on a true story about someone’s firsthand experience with censorship and freedom of expression. But it really face-planted on the execution.

Bummer. Either way a W for you by this Trekkie’s standards 😂🖖

I got a free trip to LA out of it, sadly no autograph.

Who’s jealous? I’m not jealous.. ok I’m jealous 😂 Seriously that’s awesome 🔥

The world is under psyop

The word pachyderm (elephants, rhinos, hippos) means “having thick skin”

Canadian income tax act has more pages than the full Harry Potter series. Yes, Bitcoin fixes it.

Escape Canada. Actually I’m a hypocrite because I should escape the US but have some family obligations keeping me here. Sucks. El Salvador calls but I can’t answer.

Propellers made in the form of a toros are both much quieter in operation *and* more efficient.

Started a daily burpee challenge that I add on to my normal workout.

Feels like death. That means it's working!

This isn't really a fact, I guess.

The term "debugging" in computer programming originated from a real bug. In 1947, a moth got trapped in the Mark II computer at Harvard, causing a malfunction. The term is now widely used to describe fixing issues in code.

RIP Ada Lovelace.

George w. Bush and saddam hussein had their shoes handmade by the same Italian cobbler

Karoke means "empty orchestra" in Japanese.

By mass, the composition of the universe is 27% dark matter, 68% dark energy, and only 5% ordinary matter.

Ostriches are one of the only animals where their eyes are larger than their brain.

DNA is code. It contains logic gates, exhibits properties of data compression, and many segments of DNA in both humans and animals produce functional proteins when encoded backwards AND forwards. This would be like writing code that does something useful when you run it backwards and something else useful when you run it forwards 🤯

José Mourinho was Bobby Robson’s translator when Robson was manager of Barcelona FC, and afterwards Mourinho transitioned into football management.

Nominal vs dimensional lumber. A 2"x4" stud isn't actually 2"x4", it's 1.5"x3.5" because it's more economical to cut and supports nearly the same amount of load as an actual 2"x4" stud.

Interesting history fact: nobody knows what sword fights looked like.

Swords have been around since ancient Babylonian times. Also maces or lances and bow and arrow and stone slingers.

We can reasonably assume or reconstruct how they would have been used. But for swords? Nobody knows. Where fighters dancing around like modern fencers? Or just hacking away as mostly depicted? We really have no idea.
