That will learn you!
Patrick:
Today, I learned more things about the plane my grandpa operated radar in during the American side of WWII's Pacific theater. For example, America's development of their own version of the German invention, the ejection seat, was largely done in P-61s because of the fact that they had three seats as compared to the original testbed aircraft, the Lockheed P-80, which had only one seat, making it ridiculously impractical to use as a test aircraft.
(true, kind of creepily coincidental story: the example pictured in the article is the sixteenth P-61A-1 ever made, and is also the one that came off of the production line exactly one spot before the one my grandpa worked in)

I just figured if you're going to bother learning a piece of information you would want that information to be correct.

This week I have learned what company are most (and least) likely to freak out about having a nosebleed in class.
Sound Recording 105 freaks out the most, Gothic Literature freaks out the least.
I also learned that apparently you can have five nosebleeds in as many days, even if you aren't Attila the Hun

Today, I learned that my MacBook pretty much does whatever it wants, whenever it wants to.
Including making the trackpad not work, causing me to shell out $20 on a mouse, and then decide "eh, i'll work". You fuckbastard.
