My daughter savaged me with a riddle that I’ve been laughing about all morning:

Most people need it, often ask for it, love to give it, but rarely take it.

What is it?

I’ll tell you something for free.

At the highest level of football, there are certain things you cannot fluke.

Glasner won the Europa League with Frankfurt, this was a time big teams use to drop from UCL into Europa, so he had to face teams like Barcelona on the way. Still, he won the Europa.

He came to Palace, with a small budget compared to the other English teams, he won the FA Cup, the first trophy in Palace’s history, he beat Man City to win it. You can’t fluke that, he’s a winner.

He qualified them to Europa by winning the FA Cup , but they dropped to Conference league because of the multi-club ownership saga with Textor. Despite the setback, he has just won an European trophy for a South London club.

In 2 years, he has changed a club’s history and won 3 trophies for them if we add the community shield. He did this while losing big players, lost his captain January, lost his best player to Arsenal in summer, lost Olise.

This guy is a winner.

Esci fuori e ti metti a correre.

Poi con tutti i loro difetti di sempre, tipo fare i fenomeni e chiamarli “I 26 del sesto titolo”.

Profundas Verdades que cambiarán tu forma de pensar sobre la tecnología.

El ser humano es capaz de mover barcos de 100 toneladas usando solo la energía de un secador de pelo.

¿Ingeniería o arte? Lo que ves en el vídeo es la Falkirk Wheel en Escocia. En vez de construir 11 esclusas y tardar un día entero en salvar un desnivel de 24 metros, diseñaron este elevador rotatorio único en el mundo.

Lo verdaderamente revolucionario: aplica el principio de Arquímedes a la perfección. Como los barcos desplazan su propio peso exacto en agua, los dos brazos de la estructura pesan siempre exactamente lo mismo, estén vacíos o llenos.

Al estar equilibrada al milímetro, el motor solo necesita 1,5 kWh para girar 180° en 4 minutos. Una eficiencia física brutal que roza la poesía.

¿Por qué se ha perdido esta obsesión por crear infraestructuras que sean eficientes y bellas a la vez?

That water clarity is an engineering decision, and the math behind it is wilder than the video.

Roman aqueducts ran on gravity alone. No pumps, no pressure systems. Engineers carved channels with a gradient so shallow it borders on absurd. The Pont du Gard in southern France drops 2.5 centimeters over 275 meters. That's roughly the thickness of a coin over the length of three football fields. They surveyed that accuracy with plumb lines and wooden leveling instruments.

The clarity you're seeing is a direct product of flow velocity. Too steep and the water erodes the channel walls, picks up sediment, turns brown. Too flat and it stagnates. Roman engineers targeted a slope of about 20 centimeters per kilometer, which kept the water moving fast enough to stay fresh but slow enough to stay clear. Before the water reached the city, it passed through multi-chamber settling tanks where velocity dropped near zero. Suspended particles sank. Clean water flowed out the top into the next chamber. Repeat three or four times.

Pliny specified the minimum slope in writing. Vitruvius published the exact mortar ratio for hydraulic cement: one part lime to two parts volcanic ash for underwater work. The pozzolana from Pozzuoli reacted with water to form a calcium-aluminum-silicate compound that actually gets stronger the longer it sits submerged. Modern concrete degrades in water. Roman concrete bonds with it.

Scale the whole system and it gets harder to process. Eleven aqueducts fed Rome at its peak. Combined output: roughly 1 million cubic meters of water per day. That works out to about 250 gallons per person for a city of one million. Modern New York delivers about 125 gallons per person per day. Ancient Rome had access to double the per capita water supply of the largest city in the United States, running entirely on slope and stone.

The Trevi Fountain in Rome is still fed by one of them. Two thousand years, same source, same gravity, same water.

MIT scientists filmed around 600 raindrops in slow motion to figure out why old houses smell like rain and modern ones don't. The answer is in the floor. Whether you can smell rain at all depends on what your floor is made of.

A raindrop hits something soft and porous like wet soil, clay tiles, or lime plaster, and tiny pockets of air get trapped underneath. Those bubbles pop up through the drop and burst out the top like champagne, sending hundreds of even smaller droplets into the air in a split second. Each one is carrying a molecule called geosmin, which soil bacteria produce. This is what we mean by the smell of rain.

The MIT team published this in Nature Communications. They tested 28 different surfaces. Light and moderate rain produced the most spray, far more than heavy downpours. On sealed, non-porous materials, almost nothing came off at all.

The cement used in modern buildings is about ten times harder than lime plaster, and barely porous at all. A raindrop hitting it releases almost nothing, and the same goes for vinyl flooring, acrylic paint, and glass. An old courtyard home works the opposite way. Thick walls of lime plaster, clay tiles on the floor, and an open courtyard in the middle, so the rain falls inside the house. The drops hit porous earth, and the smell goes straight into your lungs.

Your nose is built for picking this up. Humans detect geosmin at five parts per trillion, an almost impossibly small amount. Sharks detect blood in water at one part per million. That makes us roughly 200,000 times more sensitive to the smell of rain than a shark is to blood. We probably evolved that sensitivity because finding fresh water and fertile ground meant staying alive.

A modern apartment is built to keep weather out: sealed concrete, double-glazed windows, recycled air conditioning, and hundreds of chemicals coming off the paint, vinyl, and carpet. Your nose never gets close to anything wet or breathable. The smell of rain hasn't gone anywhere. Modern architecture just doesn't let your nose near it anymore.

Pep Guardiola is much more than just an unbelievable manager.

He spoke up for the people of Palestine, Sudan and Congo while others looked away.

Pep used his platform to defend our shared humanity. That will never be forgotten. Thank you, Pep.
