        Glad to know that everyone has learned a new things. Carry on!

          Today I learned During WWII, a U.S. naval destroyer won a battle against a Japanese submarine by throwing potatoes at them. The Japanese thought they were grenades.

            Not really a TIL, but some JavaScript I wrote to check that what I was understanding really was the case. Guess the output:

            (function() {
	var i = 42;

var f = function() {
	i = 17;
	if(false) {
		var i = 'fnord';
	}
};

f();
console.log(i);
})();

              TIL you can target keywords and specific accounts using twitter ads, and that you can buy traffic for under a nickel a click.

                Today I learned

                input.addEventListener('input', grab_data);

                and

                document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', grab_data);

                aren't really the same thing, I'm sure there was a thread about saying doh somewhere

                  TIL the word "parodical" — if you're looking for an adjective to say that something is like a parody of something, you've just found it.

                  The word was used in this rant about UI design.
