• https://www.theremingoat.com/ Once in a while you find folks who are huge enthusiasts about whatever, and you may not think there’s that much depth to be found in keyboard switches, however reading any one of the hundreds of reviews here you can get an appreciation to how deep the rabbit hole can actually can go

• https://radarlaboratory.com/ Radar is a pretty complex topic, but a lot of the basic physics and concepts behind it are not that tough to understand, this site goes though over two dozen of those concepts with easy to understand diagrams…even if it went a bit over the top with the AI website coding/theming
• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BViIGAg-eVI in the physics theme this is another interesting one showing how if you move an object towards/away from something quickly it’s not necessarily a net zero as to what’s being done and there are some neat side effects of that

Cool historical fact

https://www.righto.com/2026/04/B-52-star-tracker-angle-computer.html B-52’s have been flying for nearly 75yrs now, and while now GPS is so common almost everyone has it in their pocket knowing where you were used to be a tougher task. This mechanical computer is super interesting as it allowed the crews flying the bombers to figure out where they were using the stars.
