Some you may not like the elitist bias, but they have vast data sets too!
More importantly,
Golf Scotland
Further contributions to the Compendium are welcome, of course.

World Economic Forum

More importantly,
Golf Scotland
Perfect in high wind and driving rain, followed by a glass (or two) of the MacAllans.
Further contributions to the Compendium are welcome, of course.

that touch so déjà vu LOL
Re: A Compendium of Useful and Useless Information
Vico cycles maybe?
Here are four information sources, the first two are interesting from a quantitative perspective and the second two for general quality of life.
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS)
"SDSS-V is the first facility providing multi-epoch optical & IR spectroscopy across the entire sky, as well as offering contiguous integral-field spectroscopic coverage of the Milky Way and Local Volume galaxies. This panoptic spectroscopic survey continues the strong SDSS legacy of innovative data and collaboration infrastructure."
See the paper that covers the latest release (DR19) here:
The Nineteenth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey - on arXiv submitted July 9 2025
and as an accompaniment for a celestial journey:
The Flavor Bible (on Amazon)
The Vegetarian Flavor Bible (on Amazon)
I have both books and I think the cooking enthusiasts here might enjoy them.

Re: A Compendium of Useful and Useless Information
There is a famous book for jazz musicians that features basic scores for hundreds of standards.
Easy to find these songs on youtube and the book can come with backing tracks on a USB flash drive.
The Real Book – Volume 1 - Hal Leonard
The first song is enchanting and I am working on that, among others, as a winter project now.
Fleurette Africaine - Duke Ellington

I have a few of them, just need the time to sit down and study them a bit better.
