#qi

3 posts3 participants0 posts today

We were watching an old #QI tonight. Sandi asked the question, what can you say thats equivalent to “As American as apple pie”, but about #Canada? A national slogan. A contest was held and the winner was, “As Canadian as possible under the circumstances.” The show was aired some time in the previous Trump term. They didn’t say when the contest was from.

I have just learned from #QI that the ecological footprint of having one cat is similar to driving a Volkswagen Golf. To this I can add from personal experience that the medical insurance for one #cat is not much cheaper than the car insurance.

Can I ride my #cats though? - No, of course not.

The host said no "The percentage of your ancestors which were men is about 33%. This is because historically, men are much more likely to die without reproducing. Only about 40% of men have ever reproduced, as opposed to 80% of women."

So perfectly dumb, I fell off my chair.

Can’t believe #QI did a bit about inverted flying and *didn’t* mention that nobody knows (okay, no one *agrees*) how it actually works

I can’t take credit for this, pretty sure it came via Hannah Fry. The Bernoulli and Newton camps can neither agree, nor prove, which theory is correct, apparently!

MagSafe von Apple, ich meine diesen Ladepuck, verbesserte das „kabellose Aufladen“ mithilfe von Magneten. Wie bei MagSafe hält das zu ladende Gerät beim Qi2 Standard mithilfe von Magneten an der Ladestation. Das Wireless Power Consortium hat kürzlich auf der CES 2025 die unglückliche Zwischenlösung «Qi2 Ready» vo…
