Reply to TIL the first Blue LED wasn't commercially available until 1989 and bright blue LEDs weren't available until 1993. by j-merc23
I remember when red LEDs first became affordable and widespread, we used them on our boat to read charts in the dark without ruining night vision. But the gap between those first cheap red ones and LED screens or bright white ones for headlamps and flashlights seemed like it took forever.

Reply to TIL that the narrative that Coca-Cola designed the modern Santa Claus as part of an advertising campaign is not true, because Coca-Cola did start using Santa in advertising in 1933. But Santa had been portrayed almost exclusively in red from the early 19th century by giuliomagnifico
The poem "A Visit From Saint Nicholas" from 1823 created a lot of what we now think of as canon Santa lore. First mention of a sleigh pulled by reindeer, for example.

Left hand drive means the driver's seat is on the left side of the car.

Reply to comment by PrayForMojo_ in Mars had an ancient asteroid impact similar to the Chicxulub ‘planet killer’ impact on Earth, a discovery that may have astrobiological implications by marketrent
Yes, but the presence of an impact crater does not imply that there was life killed off by that impact or that life evolved somewhere other than earth.

I don't understand why the presence of an enormous impact crater has any implications as to whether life exists or existed on Mars.
