    The most surprising yet true thing anyone has ever pointed out to me on Wikipedia is that the Sun is so bright because it is so big. The power production rate is actually like a few lightbulbs in a box, or the heat from a compost pile or Lizard! From:

    The weird thing to me about CA housing politics is that there *should* be a huge group who wants housing to be expensive. People who own a house benefit when prices go up. And this faction does indeed seem to be huge, but nobody publicly supports increasing the cost of housing.

    Today I learned that many people are bad at spelling "coronavirus". It's "corona" + "virus", how can that be so hard?

    IMO this is good. I would rather have more immigration, and I believe making it more clearly revenue-positive for the US government will help raise immigration levels.

    Extraordinary: transport in/out of Wuhan and other cities is stopped, cities under quarantine, Beijing new years celebrations being cancelled and the forbidden city will close. It's not getting a lot of coverage in the US, but this is a big deal.

    "For well over twenty hours a day in total darkness and in total silence and in total immobility, he sat on his horse blanket at the end of the stony corridor, his shoulders wedged between the rocks, and enjoyed himself." Great book, but hard to say why.
