Holy crap, I literally just learned this today (or at least I don't remember learning it before)

Football War
The Football War (Spanish: La guerra del fútbol; colloquial: Soccer War) also known as the Hundred Hours' War or 100 Hour War, was a brief military conflict fought between El Salvador and Honduras in 1969. Existing tensions between the two countries coincided with rioting during a 1970 FIFA World Cup qualifier. The war began on 14 July 1969 when the Salvadoran military launched an attack against Honduras. The Organization of American States (OAS) negotiated a cease-fire on the night of 18 July (hence "100 Hour War"), which took full effect on 20 July. Salvadoran troops were withdrawn in early August.



Considering how insane football ultras and hooligans can be, I'm surprised there hasn't been a second Football War yet
And remember my friend, future events such as these will affect you in the future

"Cleanrooms typically come with a cleanliness level quantified by the number of particles per cubic meter at a predetermined molecule measure. The ambient outdoor air in a typical urban area contains 35,000,000 particles for each cubic meter in the size range 0.5 μm and bigger, equivalent to an ISO 9 certified cleanroom. By comparison an ISO 14644-1 level 1 certified cleanroom permits no particles in that size range, and just 12 particles for each cubic meter of 0.3 μm and smaller. Semiconductor facilities often get by with level 7, while level 1 facilities are exceedingly rare."

I would have been more surprised to know that we are reaching their limit.

This tweet is misleading.
In fact, the time to crack a password using the brute-force method does not obey this primitive table.

Today I learned that natural gas and methane are not the same thing: methane is the principal component of natural gas, at around 80%, but the latter is also made up of ethane and nitrogen gas.

The Fox and the Grapes is one of Aesop's fables, numbered 15 in the Perry Index. The narration is concise and subsequent retellings have often been equally so. The story concerns a fox that tries to eat grapes from a vine but cannot reach them. Rather than admit defeat, he states they are undesirable. The expression "sour grapes" originated from this fable.
