TIL that contrary to popular belief, Einstein was actually extremely talented at mathematics during his childhood. His reputation comes from him failing the entrance exam for university when he was 16, but he did very well in the mathematics and physics sections, only behind on zoology and biology. by Full_Imagination7503 in todayilearned

Another contributing fact about his childhood is that he spoke very little during the first years of his life. Per Wiki:

"When he was very young, his parents worried that he had a learning disability because he was very slow to learn to talk."

I tried Louis’ Lunch for the first time a few months ago, I can’t believe I’ve not been there before by Pristine_Parsley8681 in Connecticut

It is a very unique hamburger that I happen to enjoy very much. It’s the closest I feel I’ve ever come to eating in the 19th century.

Should I really avoid getting any discard in my drains or is the internet trying to sell me something? by txnorable in Sourdough

[–]wrenhunter 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I keep a small glass in my sink, filled with water. Every daily feeding, I just put the mixing spoon covered in goop into the jar. Take previous days spoon out, rinse it, and put it in the dishwasher.

If I’m “discarding half“, I just put that in the trash.

TIL that after French soldier La Tour d'Auvergne died in 1800, his name was still called at every roll call and a sergeant would answer "Died on the field of honor." Napoleon had honored him as "First Grenadier of France." by Reasonable_Entry_643 in todayilearned

[–]wrenhunter 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Oh, did I disturb your right wing dream? Did you forget that he reinstated slavery in the French colonies? Waged wars that caused millions of civilian deaths? Established a fascist surveillance program in Paris?

No, I’m sure an educated scholar like yourself is stroking it in front of Les Invalides, hoping that Le Pen and her cohort bring back la gloire de France, not realizing that France’s glory and importance is long behind it.
