oh, no, not replacing the battery, "disposing of" the battery

it warns you that opening it to remove the battery will destroy it and void your warranty, and that you can't reassemble it

we had to get a new electric toothbrush because ours broke, and the instructions in this one show how to replace the battery... except they tell you to wear eye protection and gloves while doing so

i get that lithium-ion batteries can be dangerous but really?

this is particularly striking when you realize that almost all numbers are normal (a fact which can and has been proven)

that is, if you were to choose a number at random from a number line, the probability that it would be a normal number is 1
-F

fun fact: it's remarkably hard to prove that a number is normal

it's strongly suspected that a lot of constants like e and π are normal but this has not been proven

in fact, the only numbers known to be normal are the numbers explicitly constructed to be normal

this feels Weird to us because we know they had pasta, apparently they just called it noodles
-F

today we learned: apparently the word pasta was unheard of in english before the 1980s

today we learned: the word black traces its etymology back to the same PIE root as the French word blanc, which means white

the root, *bhel-, means "bright, shining". the route to blanc is relatively straightforward and obvious, but the one to black goes through "burning" to the fact that black is the color of burnt things

Huh! filo and croissant are good pastries but we actually made this poll after having an eclair (which is made with choux pastry) for the first time in a really long time and remembering how good it is

concept: in a video game, have one character who's just animated at a lower framerate than anyone else. never explain why. perhaps never even mention it

alternatively, do mention it. maybe the character themself is even aware of it

?

does anyone know what's going on with the price of soda? before last month 12-packs of the big brands were regularly on sale for something like 3/$10, 3/$11, or 4/$12 and when not on sale they cost something like $5 or $5.50 each

but for the last several weeks we've never seen them on sale and the regular price has been in the range of $7 to $8 each

did something happen?
