TIL that `git add` has a `--edit` (or `-e`) option that allows you to edit the patch to be applied, i. e. to remove changes that you don't want to add.

#TIL the through-hole reflow (THR) rated PBT parts that make up connectors, sensor and inductor / transformer housings aren't just injection molded. They get to do the fun trip through an accelerator facility before further assembly.

The kind of radiation dose they use to make Lichtenberg figures with and sterilize items, only for radiation curing that triggers cross-linking.

#TIL that #NYC is not all in the same county. That it is split into 5 counties.

I am aware of cities like Los Angeles and Indianapolis expanding to the borders of their containing counties, or cities like Dublin where its council operates outside of a county authority, but a city containing multiple counties.

That is all. Need to read more on the why and how.
