Today I learned +

Yesterday I learned that being right across from a burning semi when the gas tank explodes is a bad idea. A semi carrying Teslas caught fire and as I was passing directly buy it(two lanes over), the gas tank exploded sending a 15-20 foot diameter jet of fire about 30-40 feet up into the air at around a 45 degree angle. The jet was rotating in the air. Looked exactly like in the movies. Had that jet gone directly towards me, it might have reached my car. This picture was a few seconds before I passed the truck and the explosion happened.

I bet the people on that overpass were glad it happened when it did, and not a few more metres along.

Today I learned, or maybe realized is a better word, that a podcast/vodcast I've been periodically been watching clips of is done by Michael Rosenbaum, who played Lex Luthor on "Smallville." I had no idea until an older one of his episodes showed up in my Youtube feed, in which he was clean-shaven.

Not sure of if thats a sad react or funny react, but it reminds of a quote I saw.

"Our nervous system did not evolve to deal with modern life, and it wants out."

What it's really like inside a South Korean 'prison' hotel, where guests pay to spend up to 48-hours locked in a jail cell without their phones
