A live event gathering artists born in 1966 -- the year of the Fire Horse in the Chinese zodiac calendar, which occurs only once every 60 years -- is set to take place in March in Tokyo and Osaka.

Due to negative superstitions about the Fire Horse year, Japan saw a significant decrease in the number of births in 1966.

First-time participant Koizumi shared, "I've been referred to as a 'woman born in the Fire Horse year' since childhood, but finally, a new generation will be born this year."

I know he has a fleet of megayachts but i wasn't awake he owns an entire megayachts business

The distance from Jacksonville, Florida to Los Angeles, California is about 3888 km. The earth's circumference is about 40 000 km (source), so the US spans about 10% of that, roughly :)

it was produced in the US as a part of food subsidy programs, also for disaster relief etc.

TIL that you can get much lower online prices if you use a local library computer. Another reason to hate retailers.

Lora Kelley took a trip to the New York Public Library for us and compared prices against a personal iPhone. The results? A box of Apple Cinnamon Cheerios and a pack of toilet paper were nearly 20% cheaper on the library desktop.

Old link, but I hadn't realized the caveat until today. Basically, most of the waste that's accumulated in the GPGP is from industrial scale fishing (US, China, etc). I've long known that it isn't a big island (you can't even photograph it; it's just slightly murky water for miles and miles), but for some reason I thought this implied that most oceanic waste is fishing related. That's not right, see the wikipedia page.

Started using Startpage a few months ago at the recommendation of a co-worker. It uses Google instead of Bing for search results, which is why I started using it, but I learned that it describes itself as:

"an Industry-leading omnichannel digital marketing platform, powered by Machine Learning and AI, that monetizes internet traffic by putting the right ads in front of the right people at the right time."

The Lindy effect (also known as Lindy's law[1]) is a theorized phenomenon by which the future life expectancy of some non-perishable thing, like a technology or an idea, is proportional to its current age. Thus, the Lindy effect proposes the longer a period something has survived to exist or be used in the present, the longer its remaining life expectancy. Longevity implies a resistance to change, obsolescence, or competition, and greater odds of continued existence into the future.[2] Where the Lindy effect applies, mortality rate decreases with time. Mathematically, the Lindy effect corresponds to lifetimes following a Pareto probability distribution.
