Hey everyone, wish you could get around paywalls? Tired of so many adverts being in or popping up when you just want to read an article, then I have a website for you! https://outline.com it takes any article from any website and removes all the ads, ignores the paywall and puts it in a nice easy to read format and font.

Here's a fun TIL: Because the ratio of terms in the Fibonacci sequence approaches phi, and because phi is close to the ratio of km to miles, you can approximate conversion between distances with adjacent Fibonacci numbers.
So 2 km ≈ 1 mile, 3 km ≈ 2 miles, 5 km ≈ 3 miles, 8 km ≈ 5 miles, 13 km ≈ 8 miles, etc, etc
@natecull More importantly, is it pronounced "come-uppance" or "come-a-uppance"?
