Tell me something you learned today

I learned that different sulfur compounds corrode in copper in wildly different ways.

I learned that Gord Downie, lead singer of The Tragically Hip, died last night of brain cancer. This is a very sad day for our country. R.I.P. 🇨🇦

Cameron Hanes is a liar

On 19 Oct Wikipedia told me that a parsec is equal to about three and a quarter light years and that stars that can be viewed by the unaided eye tend to be within 500 parsecs of my house.

The IRS definition of separation employment should apply to the defined contribution portion of a 401(A) hybrid plan . Scams-a-poppin. So sad.

I learned that in 55 BCE, Julius Caesar built a trestle bridge across the Rhine in only 10 days, spent 18 days on a punitive expedition into Germany, then returned and destroyed said bridge. This successfully established the frontier of the Roman Empire in Gaul and helped secure Caesar's ascent to Emperor.

Learned how to put an apk on Google Play Store

I learned the guy seated behind me at our HS football game was the uncle of two players-- one of whom was a classmate of my son. We talked as much or more about the "New York Sack Exchange," as he wore a NY Jets jacket and Joe Klecko was one of my favorite players back in the day.

Also learned the #1-ranked team deserved its ranking, at our school's expense.

Coincidentally this is very applicable to copper corrosion!!!

The masu form of Japanese verbs is used only on the last verb in a sentence, so you need to learn the plain forms, too.

I learned that the Clinton Foundation received over $140 million from Russian companies/businessmen. This was shortly before the approved Uranium One transfer to Russia.

I learned that the highest IQ ever recorded in a trump voter is 72 and the average is 47.

In contrast, the average IQ of a Bernie voter is 127, Clinton voter is 136, and Johnson voter is 143.

Not really surprising.

I learned today that heart rate variability has potential application in fitness and recovery monitoring.

And I learned that my HRV values at date suck.

That 16 and 17year olds are douchbags
