Across XXX episodes the Golf Dimple Car was one of their most surprising results. Just an absolute got damn classic and probably the most visually absurd of their experiments"

"Aperol Spritz is the biggest scam drink ever. Imagine watered-down Fanta a wine cooler and some club sodafor $XX a glass. Go to any major European city (Prague Paris Barcelona Munich) and some tourist idiot is drinking Aperol Spritz believing its a local invention. Bro its Italian. Look I get: orange is an arresting color. Think Tang Sunny D or as mentioned Fanta. You get the drink in a wine glass with a slice of orange and a fancy draw. It looks like $XX but tastes $XXXX. Also the alcohol content is a joke. The Aperol liqueur is XX% and prosecco is XX% but it always gets way too watered"

Chicke. Pork. Carne Asada. Whatever. But Burrito CDO C is a synthetic Burrito CDO. A CDO of Burrito CDOs. Ok lets say we have an underlying pool of $10000 in burritos.

"Interesting peice on Jane Streets sneaky retention tactic. The quant hedge fund which did $21B in revenue in 2024 has employees work with an obscure coding language called OCaml. Developed by French academics OCaml has a steep learning curve but maximizes productivity for its traders. In 2005 Jane Street re-wrote its core trading system with an OCaml fork OxCaml (more standard finance coding languages are C++ Go Java Python). The language for these internal tools are so obscure in finance community that Jane Street has relatively few restrictions on staff leaving the fund (similar hedge funds"

It changed the nature of civilization by making development possible in the tropics. Without air conditioning you can work only in the cool early-morning hours or at dusk. The first thing I did upon becoming prime minister was to install air conditioners in buildings where the civil service worked. This was key to public efficiency.""

"Carl Sagan on why books are humans greatest invention: What an astonishing thing a book is. It's a flat object made from a tree with flexible parts on which are imprinted lots of funny dark squiggles. But one glance at it and you're inside the mind of another person maybe somebody dead for thousands of years. Across the millennia an author is speaking clearly and silently inside your head directly to you. Writing is perhaps the greatest of human inventions binding together people who never knew each other citizens of distant epochs. Books break the shackles of time. A book is proof that"
