THINGS PILOTS KNOW THAT PASSENGERS DON'T
1. Turbulence has never brought down a modern commercial aircraft.
2. The safest seats on a plane are toward the rear.
3. Cabin air is cleaner than the air in most office buildings.
4. Pilots are legally required to eat different meals in case of food poisoning.
5. Most flights carry more fuel than officially needed fear of fuel shortage is never real.
6. Autopilot flies more than 90% of every flight, but pilots are always monitoring.
7. Lightning strikes planes regularly,it's designed for it.
8. The brace position actually works. It's not a myth.
9. Phones in airplane mode don't affect navigation,it's a network congestion rule, not a safety one.
10. Dawn and dusk are statistically the safest times to fly.
11. The crew dims cabin lights before landing at night so your eyes adjust immediately in case of evacuation not for atmosphere.

There’s a South Korean middle school science teacher that’s been making free interactive science simulations on the web since 1996
He has hundreds of simulations now and gets millions of views per year. He was also named "Science Teacher of the Year" by the Korean government
Button cell battery names are actually codes include the chemistry, shape, diameter and thickness.
CR2032 is C lithium, R round, 20mm diamter, 3.2mm thick
You know what's bothering me for no reason?
Up until 1080p, we referred to video resolutions by their VERTICAL RESOLUTION
426x240 = "240p"
854x480 = "480p"
1280x720 = "720p"
1920x1080 = "1080p"
But then above that, we started using HORIZONTAL resolution, but rounded
7680x4230 = "8K"
3840x2160 = "4K"
And then for everything in between, we just... threw that out?
2560x1440 = "2K" ?????????
2772x1272 = "1.5K" ????????
@zbangazbanga@giffmana Thanks for this its just hit me that 91 - 171 MILLION transistors per mm2 is just incredible!! You can see or just about draw a 1mm square with a sharp pencil
The invention of the transistor in 1947 marked a turning point in the history of electronics. This tiny semiconductor device, capable of amplifying and switching electronic signals, revolutionized the world of electronics, paving the way for much more!
Human Interfaces peaked with modular synthesizers.
Everything else is inadequate.
Immersive, full control, minimal to zero hidden options behind screens.
