Our Moon

Masha experiences mirages at school, and I was surprised to find online that the stuff we see a hundred times each summer is a genuine mirage. Well explained in the link

There’s no catching up to Liza now. 5:07/km with traffic lights, and that’s with me slowing down the tandem!

Five Teslas on the way from home to the rink, covering the journey in 20 minutes on small paths.

Near my home there is a Tesla dealership, and it seems they are doing quite well with sales in the area

I wonder, if you integrate a scale into sneakers and record the readings throughout the day when their owner is sitting, running, walking, could you calculate his or her weight by processing the gathered data?

Do dogs recognize breeds? Can they prefer to play with others of the same breed rather than with dogs of another breed, but of similar size?

Yesterday it was 25 degrees warm and summer (https://goo.gl/RSsqJJ). And here it is again

I wonder if there was a popular service that recommended one or more stories each day of a strictly defined volume, taking into account the reader’s tastes? The point is that there are loads of people commuting to work – some by car, some by subway, and the commuting time is usually more or less the same. For those who like reading or listening, it would be possible to find a story or novella of the optimal size from a large library, taking preferences into account (likes, surveys). You sit in the subway or car, start reading or listening, and by the time you get to work – the story has just ended.

It would be particularly interesting not to reveal the title and author until the story is read and rated.

Clearly, you won’t find much from the “great literature” in 30 minutes. But so much has been written in the world that it would definitely last a year with any preference settings, and then perhaps they might even begin to write specifically for this purpose.

Monetization – a thank you to the author at the end of the story. Money is automatically deducted unless the listener or reader hits a big red “do not pay for this” button within a certain period after.

I think finishing reading or listening to a story right as you arrive at work or home from work is significantly “more interesting” than stopping in the middle to finish it tomorrow. Of course, this is very individual, but the format itself would be interesting.
