Friday Links!

Leading off this week, from DQ Reader My Wife, and it's so staggeringly clever: Ph.D. Student Breaks Down Electron Physics Into A Swinging Musical.

From C. Lee, and this is terrifying: Inside the UAE's Secret Hacking Team of American Mercenaries. Ah, shorthand: How to Write 225 Words Per Minute With a Pen. This is fascinating: The two-pizza rule and the secret of Amazon's success. Not what you'd expect: Italy's Practically Perfect Food. This is very promising: This Smartwatch Can Help Detect Seizures in Kids. This is amazing: Potato or Hand Grenade? A Rusty Bombshell at a Chip Factory.

From Wally, and this is interesting: How meal delivery apps are killing your favorite restaurants. This is utterly ridiculous: Amazon caught selling counterfeits of publisher’s computer books—again. What a find: Man discovers working 30-year-old Apple IIe in parents' attic. These ducks should be on a plane to Cancun: Oh Canada.

From John Enzinas, and this is so bizarre: The Lonely Life of a Yacht Influencer.

From Joshua Buergel, and this is fantastic: A Detailed Map of Medieval Trade Routes in Europe, Asia, and Africa. I'm skeptical, but this is amazing if it actually works: Death metal attracts sharks as it mimics "struggling fish".

From Eric Higgins-Freese, and it's outstanding: The Political Cartoon That Explains the Battle Over Reconstruction (and some people are still using the racist attacks of Andrew Johnson, 150+ years later).
