Five Finds: The 6 Nukes We Lost (And Never Found)

Hey!

It’s Yury here. Thank you for subscribing to my blog. It's been great having you (yes, you) as a reader.

I spend so much time scouting the internet and making notes that I decided to start sharing it with everyone. Therefore, I'm launching Five Finds newsletter that will provide five amusingly interesting links I found each week. Lend me a few minutes of your time and I hope to spark your curiosity in exchange.

Let me know if you like it! (or don’t)

The six times we lost nuclear bombs

Six nuclear weapons have been lost and never recovered. Actually, 32 nukes were lost at some point; others were found or destroyed, like in 1968, when a US bomber crashed in Greenland. Four devices were vaporized in a fire, but they had to remove 237,000 cubic feet of radioactive ice.

Friction is what’s missing when designing meaningful experiences

Great video on why adding friction can improve one's experience (like when I waited five hours at the stadium for a Linkin Park concert, or maybe not). Eugene Healey, a brand strategy consultant running this Instagram, is an excellent follow.

All nicotine products in Norway have to use the standardized packaging

Turns out, in Norway all nicotine products have to use the same packaging by law. This has the unfortunate side effect of making them look cool, especially that military-style Zyn. Even though they tried to use the "ugliest" Pantone color int the world (it’s Pantone 448 C).

Choosing a travel pack is hard

I love backpacks—admittedly, I have too many of them. Here's a good guide for choosing a travel backpack from Christian Selig, the creator of Apollo and other great apps.

If you're interested in this topic, I can recommend two sources: the PackHacker community and the Nomads Nation YouTube channel, which have great guides and reviews.

How my indoor air made me sick and dumb (and how I fixed it)

The level of C02 and PM2.5 particles in your home affects your health and well-being. We have a sensor in our bedroom to control this. Once it was too hot outside, I closed the night window and woke up with the worst headache ever. No wonder, because the CO2 was over 2000 ppm (4x of what it should be). You can get a cheap sensor from Amazon for $30.
