Cormac McCarthy's brother said he liked working on cars and could "fix anything". I don't know why it makes me happy to know that but it really does.

"Per CERN, if containment failed and all of the 92 antiprotons were annihilated, it’d produce 2.7 x 10-6 kWh of energy. It’d take more than 10,000 of these explosions to equal the force of clicking one keyboard key. CERN is safe." @hansolex.bsky.social alloymag.com/cern-antimat...

"There’s no big, dramatic explanation for how I gave up on the desirable air-cooled Porsche 911 that was once a huge part of my life. It just stopped being a cool car to me. I stopped loving it." alloymag.com/unloved-air-...
