🚀 Just deployed the first page of my personal website: www.souravinsights.com/curated-links I often stumble upon great resources that I keep sharing with my friends on a private Discord server, and now it was time to make them discoverable for everyone (and give myself a fancy spot to rediscover them). So spent this weekend crafting this highly customizable links page! What makes this page special: - 9 unique card themes (because who wants a boring list of links) - Customizable color schemes (in case my default color choices make your eyes scream for mercy) - Using Discord as CMS (thanks to the discord.js REST package) Might be an overkill for a first page but what's souravinsights without some cool resources to back it up? 😉 Check it out and tell me your favorite card style... or roast my design choices! 😅

Why are clouds normally white or darker in a rainy day? Why the sky looks blue? Here's the story: Clouds are made up of millions of tiny water droplets & ice crystals. These particles are incredibly small, about 10 to 20 micrometers in diameter, which is roughly the size of the wavelengths of visible light. When this sunlight hits the tiny water droplets in the cloud, it gets scattered in all directions. This scattering is called Mie scattering, it treats all the colors of sunlight equally. So, instead of scattering just the blue light (like what happens with the sky), it scatters all the colors together making them appear white. On a rainy day, clouds look gray or dark because when clouds accumulate more water droplets they become more efficient at absorbing & blocking sunlight. Instead of the sunlight passing through and scattering evenly, as it does in thinner clouds on sunny days, the water droplets in rainy clouds absorb more light. This absorption makes the clouds look denser & darker from the ground.

Ever wondered what really happens inside popping popcorn? It's really fascinating 😬 So inside each corn kernel, there's a germ & endosperm - basically, a tiny plant & its food which contains about 14% water. When heated, the water inside turns to steam, causing pressure to build up within the shell. Picture the shell as a mini pressure cooker, containing the steam until the pressure becomes too great. At around 180°C, the internal pressure reaches nearly 10 times the normal air pressure, & the starch granules turn into a pressurized gelatinous goo. Eventually, the pressure causes the shell to burst, releasing the steam & causing the goo to expand explosively. This is the moment when the kernel transforms into the fluffy popcorn we all love. As it cools, the fluffy foam solidifies, ready to be munched on during your favourite movie. 😇

Ever wondered why we eat popcorns at the movies? 🤨 Let’s uncover the story! In the early 1900s, the first movie theatre was known as "nickelodeons". As movie theatres gained popularity, they modeled themselves after grand opera houses, aiming for a sophisticated atmosphere by prohibiting food inside. Meanwhile, popcorn was already a favorite street snack thanks to Charles Cretors’ steam-powered popcorn machine introduced in 1885. During the Great Depression of the 1930s, theaters faced financial strain and turned to popcorn as a solution. Selling this affordable treat became a significant revenue stream, helping theatres survive tough economic times. Today, popcorn and other concessions generate more profit for theatres than ticket sales do. Source: https://nowiknow.beehiiv.com/p/nik-january-23-2024-eat-popcorn-movies

In "Keep Going" by Austin Kleon, the principle "Forget the Noun, Do the Verb" suggests focusing on the actions and processes of creativity rather than fixating on labels and identities. Instead of identifying as a "writer" or "artist," engage in the act of writing or drawing. This shift prioritizes creative actions over self-perception, reducing pressure and encouraging tangible steps towards goals. Labeling yourself with a creative noun can lead to expectations, self-doubt, and creative blocks. By concentrating on the actions, you can approach your work with more freedom and authenticity, bypassing inhibitions and generating more ideas. "Doing the verb" also allows for flexibility and exploration. You're not confined to one category of creativity and can experiment with different activities and mediums without worrying about fitting a specific identity.
