Today I Learned: 1) The output of Niagra falls is mandated by law, which isn't as ridiculous as it sounds. Much of Niagra is diverted for various kinds of water use (I think mostly electricity), but there's a minimum amount of water that must be left flowing so that it's still, well, Niagra falls. That amount, by the way, is 100,000 cubic feet per second. I have no idea how much that is, except that it's about as much water as Niagra falls. 2) When given a choice between vegan "chicken", vegan "steak", and vegan tofu (er, just tofu I guess), I choose the tofu. I don't even think about it. The other two barely sound like food. 3) Solidworks tip -- anchor your design to an axis. Otherwise, your design could accidentally be underconstrained, so when you make changes, it might have unpredictable consequences.
