Another list of almost nothing but disconnected factoids that don't add up to any discipline or narrative. Good luck at Tuesday pub trivia, folks! (Isn't #8 relatively widely known?)

I only learned two things in 2021:

1. When you actually have the time to binge them you will notice that most new netflix/disney/... series are pretty boring and/or stupid.

2. As much as I hate admitting it, I actually miss talking to other people IRL. My previous plan to make some money and then move to a cabin in the woods for the rest of my life is probably a bad idea.

Edit: although today's post about Japanese game dev not leaving the for 10 years sounds tempting.

Similar to No. 5 about Everest, I believe the "Quincy" town in Massachusetts is pronounced differently than the "Quincy" in "John Quincy Adams".
