TIL, Camp David received its present name in 1953 from President Dwight D. Eisenhower, in honour of his father and his grandson, both named David. Good thing they weren’t both named Dick.
Didn't someone get banned from some online service 'for profanity' for putting that as their home address.
If you want dodgy pace names look no further than New Zealand. Not sure if they ever decided on changing all the places beginning with the N word or not.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-66563807 Why? Quote from the above: “Auctioneer RM Sotheby's says the vehicle will require "a comprehensive restoration to return the car to the condition of its glory days"” So, TiL, rich car collectors are even more mad than I already thought they are.
TIL that PD3.1 adapters are on the market already. I've been looking for a 100W Type-C adapter off and on for a while, and here's Ugreen with a reasonably priced Type-C PD3.1 charger that can deliver 100W to two separate devices simultaneously up to 140W (EDIT: Misread the spec). One charger to rule them all...
TIL, well actually YIL, there are people in the world that watch films on their phones on planes without any headphones. For so many reasons, why?
Almost as annoying as going to the pub and parents letting their kids watch some garishly loud YouTuber on max volume.

Oh and another airport based IL thing. Going through security in Helsinki my OH's bag was checked. They had to confirm what the bits of cheesecake she had were. Cheesecake is fine but if it was a cream cake that would have been classed as a liquid. Huh. As a side note, why did she have cheesecake? Made by her mum, she likes to waste nothing hence why we also had a small bag with carrots and a red pepper in carry on baggage....
The only acceptable show for kids to watch in public with no headphones is Bluey. I remember reading Peanut butter is also classified as a liquid too. I think they are bluring the lines between fluids and liquids.
TIL - To go with their "Those Old Scientists"-era USS Enterprise, Playmobil make a Star Trek III: The Search for Spock Klingon Bird of Prey, complete with Kirk, Spock & Doc Brown figures.
Context - I have to be up at stupid o'clock to go to the airport in 6 weeks time. TIL - Android 14 lets me set an alarm for that day and time today. How to:- Tap on clock widget Tap on alarm Tap on + Set required time Tap on Schedule alarm <-- This is the bit I didn't know about Choose date and hit OK Swipe to close clock screen
