sharing an emotional milestone plus some tips for growing a social media presence if you came across my youtube channel, you might have seen i always had “ex-meta” or “L8 principal” mentioned in the title of my videos i hated doing it, and every time i published a video i always a/b tested removing that title unfortunately, every single time, removing it would destroy the reach and the videos simply wouldn’t be seen nearly as much the latest video was the first one i ever had where the “ex-Meta L8” title no longer made any difference. and i have now picked the variant that’s just “with Kun” i… Related

𝐅𝐄𝐑𝐍 𝐒𝐏𝐈𝐊𝐄𝐒 We know there was an asteroid impact around when the dinosaurs went extinct 65 million years ago, because we see a rare metal called iridium in the strata from this time - and droplets formed by molten quartz. But we also see lots of fern spores! This is called a 'fern spike', and it's not the only one. Ferns spread rapidly using spores, and they're tougher than they look. When everything dies, these ancient, humble plants are the first to recolonize the land. They did it after the Permian-Triassic, Triassic-Jurassic and Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction events. They may d… Related

Look at me, a dummy who can’t even reliably taste the difference between alkali metal salts Quoting @mold_time A few weeks ago we spent some time sitting around tasting different alkali metal salts with @a_m_mastroianni To us, the difference between NaCl (sodium chloride, normal table salt) and KCl (potassium chloride) seems very obvious, but Adam said they taste about the same to him.

Nothing matches. Show everything
A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
