It's interesting how all the tedious tasks listed are a product of modernity. Vacuuming, driving to work, flossing, doing dishes, etc. I wonder how repetitive life feels for humans who still have to hunt for their food. Not to say that

I know what you mean. It took me a while to find the original version of Napoleon Hill's "How to Think and Grow Rich" because everyone and their mother's posted $0.99 versions. That's why I like Standard Ebooks. It&

There's a lot of computer games I can't play at 60fps because my computer isn't good enough. I would like if someone else handled all the hardware upgrades, so I don't have to spend so much money every year just to keep

My hypothesis is that all the sugar from modern diets creates an environment where bacteria can grow and mess with the alignment of your teeth. See the British and how the introduction of sugar into their tea created so many crooked sets of
