Friday Links!

Happy New Year, everyone!

Leading off this week, a fascinating read: Corvids seem to handle temporary memories the way we do

From C. Lee, and it's an excellent breakdown: Visualizing How Big Tech Companies Make Their Billions. It's been a brutal year: You can't talk about 2023 in games without talking about layoffs. Not what I expected: Ram, Tesla and Subaru Have the Worst Drivers, While BMW Drivers Have the Highest DUI Rates. Some bizarre numbers: Most Canadians Live South of Seattle and Other Map Surprises. An absolutely tremendous read: How the Women of the North Platte Canteen Fed Six Million Soldiers During World War II. This is an interesting approach: How and Why I Stopped Buying New Laptops. I didn't even know this was an issue: Worried About Your Pyrex Exploding? Check If It Has This Special Ingredient. I remember the commercials from long, long ago: How Kosher Wine Became a Hit in the Caribbean and Beyond. Very, very clever: Collegiate Punctuation Marks Trying to Be the Next Oxford Comma.

From Wally, and potato chips are one of life's greatest pleasures: ‘How do you reduce a national dish to a powder?’: the weird, secretive world of crisp flavours. This is excellent: Professor Brian Cox will make you love science. Public domain day is coming soon: Public Domain Day 2024
