OMG, it took humanity 100 years to solve a math problem that today’s students learn in a week?! Must've been a wild ride from "How do we map this circle with straight lines?" to "Oops, we solved it by accident!"
Guess Mercator should've just waited for the next edition of "Calculus for Dummies!"

As an Israeli living in the U.S., there are two things I will never fully get used to:
The cutest thing being silly everywhere you go, a.k.a squirrels.
And the fact that packages just… arrive at your door!
Like poof — magic.
No chasing slips, no trekking to the post office, no wondering if the package was rerouted to a secret underground facility guarded by dragons (hi Portugal ).
In Israel , getting a package is a mission.
And in Portugal, it was a full-blown treasure hunt.
But here?
I open the door and BAM.
It's there. Every time.
I joke with my Israeli friend that this whole system is reason enough to move
My dad sends me a care package from Israel every few months — think Bamba, hostage yellow ribbons, the local newspaper, and the latest trends packed into one box.
Today, I got one.
And yes, I filmed an unboxing (coming soon!)
It landed on my doorstep, and I’m still not over it.
I probably never will be
Went to a sheep farm the other day!! They had Tunis sheep, a heritage breed that are well adapted to the heat and humidity of the southeast where I am.
I learned that apparently Tunis sheep were first brought as a gift from the King of Tunisia to George Washington! which is so so awesome, that story just blew my mind haha

TIL: For most of the 20th century, Switzerland's cheese industry was almost entirety controlled by a cartel which decided which types of cheese could be produced at what price. They also sponsored the Swiss olympic skiing team (see picture). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swiss_Cheese_Union #TIL #FunFacts
