Tell me something I don't know --

So, yeah, tell me something you know that is not common knowledge!

I'll start with two things.

First, commercial airliners frequently take off too heavy to land safely. The plane is full of fuel for the flight, obviously, and fuel weighs a lot. Jet fuel weighs about 7 pounds per gallon. A Boeing 800 class has a fuel capacity of around 6800 gallons, which will weigh roughly 45,000 pounds. A fully loaded airliner often has so much fuel on board that, if an emergency were to occur that requires the plane to land within the first 30-120 minutes, the weight of the aircraft will crush the landing gear and underside of the plane. Also, the fuel tanks are located inside the wings, and the weight of the fuel will tear the wings off. Jet fuel will violently eject and might engulf the aircraft in flames. HOWEVER. Airliners in this emergency situation engage in "fuel dumping," which is exactly what you think it is. They open the tanks and pour liquid jet fuel out of the plane and onto ... whatever is underneath. Jet fuel rains from the sky. This is obviously a problem, yes, but if it makes the aircraft light enough to land without an inferno? It's considered a win.

Second, wood products today really do suck compared to wood from 50 or more years ago, it's not your imagination, they just suck. SORT OF. Here's the thing -- old growth wood is denser than younger trees. Older furniture, crown moldings, floors, built-ins, kitchen spoons, anything that was made from older trees, the wood is denser. It resists water more easily, it is better able to resist mold, it doesn't crack and split as much. It is heavier, it has that solid feel we associate with quality. Newer wood products are made from trees that are more easily farmed, so you have your pines, aspens, and other trees that grow fast and relatively straight up. These trees are softer, lighter, and the wood is less able to resist water. They feel cheaper and they degrade faster. HOWEVER. there are a number of wood-products made from these trees that are great. Pressed- and particle- based wood products have vastly improved in the last ten years. This ain't your father's plywood anymore. These take advantage of the fast, cheap, wood farms and manufacture real wood products that are imbued with glues and adherents that recreate the density of old growth trees. Now, you don't get the gorgeous grain that older wood has, obviously. These products need to be painted, or they need a veneer. But keep an eye out for them when you are considering re-flooring a room or replacing a window treatment.

That was actually a good deed, Jason.

Jason Todd walked over to Bruce Wayne scrolling through photos on his phone. He tapped the man on the shoulder.

Jason: You want baby pictures of Damian?

Bruce spat out his coffee in shock. Jason chuckled.

Jason: You have to pay me.

Bruce (frantic): You better not be lying to me because if you have baby pictures of him I will pay you whatever price you ask.

Jason: Um okay I have about 10 I can give you now so $10,000 for each one.

Bruce: Stay there, gotta get my phone and I'll transfer the funds to your bank account.

Bruce ran out of the room leaving Jason Todd with Alfred watching the entire interaction, impressed.

Alfred: Jason, how did you get baby pictures?

Jason: Remember, I knew about his existence before Bruce ever did. I visited the kid for the first 9 years before Bruce found out about him. Talia paid me to take photos of him for memories.

Alfred: That's very wholesome of you.

Jason (confused): I said Talia paid me.

Alfred: Money or not, you did a good deed. Now Master Bruce can have a few photos and trust me, he's been begging Talia for baby pictures for years. Be proud of yourself.

Jason smiled.

Jason: I appreciate you saying that.

Alfred: I mean every word of it. You're welcome.
