Wet wipes cause a billion times more problems than toilet paper. Almost all contain plastic microfibers and degrade very slowly. They clog plumbing and septic tanks, and create environmental hazards in aquatic environments. I wish people kn

Hm. We had one 2-digit date earlier this month, previous ones in 2020, 2002 and 2000, and before that... 1999, 1919, 1911, 1888, 1818, 1811, etc. 1-digit ones way back on 1111/11/11, 1111/1/1, 999/9/9, etc. Fut

I’d go back for the PhD in land use economics I turned down and get to work on smart ideas for dealing with relocating soon-to-be-submerged populated areas. It’s effectively similar to plumbing or anything else — a trade off to a different

Penguins. Suddenly, I have to do a double captcha not only on the website but on the iOS app too, every time. Find the penguin. Find another penguin. Congratulations, you're human.
