    Because yesterday was the fifth of November, I looked up Wikipedia pages about the story and person(s) that inspired the movie, V for Vendetta

    The Wiki article about the Gunpowder Plot in particular was most interesting.

    Electron flow. My son had a test on electricity, and the dumbasses said that current flows from positive to negative. Which is dumb ass horse shit. Everyone knows that electron flow is negative to positive.

    This was yesterday. High speed rail in Japan/China and in Belgium/Netherlands

    • https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shinkansen
    • https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-speed_rail_in_China
    • https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-speed_rail_in_Belgium
    • https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-speed_rail_in_the_Netherlands

    I was watching an RMTransit video last night, and just realized how almost comical it is that Belgium and the Netherlands (which together is not much bigger than the Tokyo or Shanghai metropolitan areas) have multiple high-speed rail lines

    Mug Root Beer. I was trying to find out if the “Mugrootbeeroffcial” socials was actually them. Their youtube videos are nuts.

    The Donner Party.

    It’s inexplicably like my “Roman Empire” for dudes. I think about that tragedy near weekly.

      The conditions that created it (well, the weather) can be recreated in the Oregon Trail 2 video game!

      Although it’s difficult. You have to really screw around to be as slow, otherwise you reach the pass before the storm hits.

        Ooohhh never played 2, but I do get nostalgic for the OG every now and then! I’ll have to get this ASAP for cozy winter gaming!

        Its SO crazy how much went wrong with that pioneer train. Murders and deaths even before they hit Hastings Cutoff.

          By 2 I mean https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oregon_Trail_II this by the way! Not the newest one which I don’t think had two on it, but I gotta make sure.

          On the easiest difficulty where you don’t uhhh pilot the train, you don’t even take the wrong cutoffs so you generally go so fast you hit the pass early.

          I only managed the conditions twice or so of trying to do so! By having a drowning early lmfao. Then there was some heat stroke and some rattlesnake bites.

    Some random steroid, because a drug name came up in a video I was watching and I had never heard of it before. I thought it was going to be some sort of party drug. Turns out it’s for bodybuilders who don’t want the water retention of the normal ones.

    Futaba Corporation.

    I’m using an old RC helicopter radio I bought eons ago to control a raspberry pi, so I’m reverse engineering the signal on the receiver side (which was surprisingly easy), and I got curious about the company in general.
