In the past 18 months I've noticed Google Maps' navigation prompts being announced just slightly too late for comfort; e.g. I'm often nearly into an intersection at 30-40 mph when my phone tells me to turn onto the cross st

I really like to see the differences in flavors of common snacks. These triple-onion potato chips in Sweden (something I feel like I'd never see in the US) were very good: https://imgur.com/a/nx3cTCI

I've always been impressed by these one-piece Japanese thread scissors: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00WXIRPU0 Very quick to grab with one hand and make a cut. No hinge; just elastic deformation of the steel.

Great writeup. Reminds me of Penn Jillette's description of watching a space shuttle launch: It’s beyond sound, it’s wind. It’s a man-made hurricane. It’s a baseball bat in the chest. It’s so loud. It’s so loud you can’t even call it

I've always liked the low-level explanation at https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Internals-Git-Objects It's a great exercise for the reader to recreate the core functionality of making git commits
