大家好,我是Frank Xu,一个普通人。这是我的电邮简讯,叫光明王。这是它的名字来源。每周推送的电邮里你会看到独特的新闻故事,奇怪的胡思乱想以及开心一刻。此份电邮干湿货都有,肥肉不腻,精肉不柴。祝你阅读愉快。
As a reminder, I'm Frank Xu, a curious person. This is my newsletter called Lord of Light (LoL). I've started this newsletter this year, offering what I describe as "Bespoke observations on news story, random thoughts and a sip of happy hour". It is 70% fat-free, though the perceived fat ratio may vary depending on your taste in the topics I write about. Enjoy your reading.
大家好,好久不见。新的一年,要勇猛精进、真诚表达、充满好奇心呀。愿你有一些快乐,赚钱的快乐,赚口碑的快乐,找到朋友的快乐;也愿你有一些自由,表达的自由、快乐的自由、做自己的自由。
愿世界和平。
新闻故事
1.👀 慢性疼痛非常难治愈,成因复杂,办法不一。现在可能有一种有前景的办法,用 VR。用 VR 真的可以有效帮助治疗慢性疼痛吗?
2.☕️ 瑞士警方在送往 Nespresso 做胶囊的咖啡豆里缴获了500公斤可卡因。
3.🧬 DNA 和 RNA 的合成原料,最早可能是彗星带到地球的。(其实,我们都是外星人)
4.😷 一次性口罩现在的使用量非常大,那用完之后,这些口罩怎么回收?科学家发现了一种非常创新的办法,把它的纤维加到混凝土里,能让它比普通水泥强度高47%。
5.🫱 Jony Ive 老师主理了FT 的一期 Makers & Creators 专栏,讲了讲手工制作的乐趣与哲学以及他个人的最爱小物。这段话非常好:
Perhaps our hands have become less necessary in a digital world, but in a pandemic of loneliness and isolation, the nuance and power of direct touch and connection seems more critical than ever. Our hands have assumed an iconic and cultural importance. They are represented and understood as symbols of making, skill and industry, as symbols of solidarity, power and resolve. We can hold hands. We can punch. And of course, our hands both enable our writing, our painting, our building and in turn tell unique stories of how we use them. They enable us and they describe us.
6.🐬 俄罗斯在黑海部署了海豚军队。(海豚这么可爱,为什么要这么无情?)
7.😅 美国人总抱怨自家的薯片口味很单一,吃来吃去这几种。而国际上的薯片却口味多样,品种繁多。为什么会有这种情况?(你们薯片口味少,但是量超大呀)
8.📕 在玻利维亚的监狱里,读书可以减刑。(额,书籍是人类进步的阶梯,读书使人进步)
9.🐱 后疫情时代,猫猫可能是大赢家。猫毛打理、猫猫洗澡、猫猫运动健身等服务蓬勃发展。猫毛打理专业入学学生暴增39.5%。
10.🥭 中国的清零政策,导致泰国水果大量滞销。泰国今年产出140万吨榴莲,主要就是输出我国。但今年滞销,价格跌至2.9美金/公斤。当然了,芒果也是类似的境况。(无语)
