Fun fact about today's date: 2 x MMDD = YYYY!
(The "!" stands for exclamation.) We have 436 years to appreciate this property, with December 31, 2462, being the last date satisfying this property in the Gregorian calendar.

Dear Prime Minister Ambani,
Please accept my humble apologies for not realizing that you are the real boss of India.
Naturally, you would prefer to maintain your monopolistic exploitation of the great people of India, but would you nonetheless consider allowing Starlink to compete?

Thank you 🙏

Fascinating that some exercise weights are also two mallets attached back to back. This saves space and functions as a double purpose.

A study of over 40,000 French adults found that people who plan their meals and shopping tend to have better diet quality, more food variety, and lower rates of obesity. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/2815…
SigmaList was built to make that kind of planning simpler and more intuitive. Link ⬇️
Are camera bumps the ceiling of human creativity? I'm curious what compels good designers to settle for them and whether we have better alternatives on the market right now.
