What did you learn today?

[Evil Stu Man]

I learnt that I should be more active on ppt and post more.

[Combusken BG]

I learned that PPT has it own Twitter page and that according to Alexa 73.8% of users come from China.

How about a link to that Busky?

I learned today that no matter how little work you have - you will still be scrambling when you've got 40 minutes left of your shift.

Certainly. Though the chinese traffic has fallen to 47.8%.

It was at 73% too. (This picture (see 73%) which I took on January 23th and was 2 days after my post in this topic. But I was getting those annoying General Error error messages on PinkPT when the Chinese traffic was that high.)

I learned today that Japanese children recieve a gift of money on New Year's Day from their parents. (Which is called Otoshidama.)

It's Japanese theme today! I learned that Japanese grad students bring prettily wrapped bentos to school, even when they're studying in America (I'm never sure how much of the stuff I read in manga is actually representative of Japanese culture).

I learned that it is, in fact, possible to set fire to burger buns in the oven.

Corollary: I learned that my stove's hood is incapable of evacuating smoke from the kitchen with any degree of effectiveness.

Secondary corollary: The combination of charcoal-briquette burger buns, with grilling hamburgers, smells vaguely of burnt marshmallows.

The third floor of the Science Museum has no air contidioning whatsoever, and the ground floor has about ten times more than it needs.

Pismo Beach once had an estuary based on evidence from shell middens.

Apparently, there is an elite society of people who order Arnold Palmers at Panera Bread, even though that isn't on the menu, much to the dismay of some of the people who work there.

Doesn't your panera have a self-service drink dispenser? Or is it the lemonade + green tea combo that gives you fits?

Actually, I don't work there; the woman who was ringing up my order just told me about the Arnold Palmer Orderers and how they used to bother her because she had no idea what they were (and the Panera I went to didn't have a self-service diespenser).

[DM was on fire!]

I learned that no error code is too long when your Linux machine kernel panics:

a3 cc 28 3d c0 88 d9 d3 e2 09 d5 8b 34 24 66 8b 84 36 c0 f2 2e c0 21 e8 ff ff 00 00 8b 57 04 8d 3c c2 <8a> 07 88 c2 81 e2 ff 00 00 00 89 d6 83 fa 19 76 1v 3c 63 0f 8f

Kernel panic: not syncing: attempted to kill init!

That's nerd for the memory in my motherboard went out. XD

P.S.: I also learned it's difficult to work on a laptop keyboard. :|

I learned that some Paneras don't have self-service drink dispensers.

I learned that sometimes, you really do do better when you relax and try to have fun rather than focusing on trying to win or be perfect.
