@RealShelfy As a Canadian hockey fan and amateur analyst, the tournament was over the second someone from USA hockey wrote down “Free Bird (the guitar solo part)” as the goal song. It simply wasn’t a fair tournament, this song must be banned from all future IIHF tournaments.

We learn more from reading on paper than on screens.

54 studies, 171k people: we process print more deeply than digital content—as long as it's informational rather than purely narrative.

The paper advantage holds across ages and has grown over time. Long live physical books.

It’s been a mystery why Roman concrete often lasted thousands of years, but ours decays in mere decades.

Turns out they incorporated chemicals in a process that induces self-healing; scientists at MIT just figured this all out - in 2022.

Extraordinary.
