I have a Kobo Clara HD and it's is fabulous. It is a little tricky getting it attached to your computer to download the open source books in your collection but once you're past that it's smooth sailing. Battery life lasts

This was a nice exercise in creative writing. The Model X and the truck are different vehicles for different use cases. One is a luxury vehicle and the other is a cheap as chips (almost) utilitarian vehicle that can take a beating. Neith

So Google really has hit the nadir of the wall that Microsoft hit when Gates testified before the Justice department. It's a tough day for all of us Google fan boys but it's time to look in the mirror and carefully consider the c

That's a good point about the extra weight of the Cyber Truck which I wasn't aware of and yes, I can see how that all translates into better towing characteristics all around.

Interestingly, the bowline and the cat's claw are the same knot, but the cat's claw uses two rope ends rather than one and it's very simple to tie, unlike the tricky bowline.

I've cooked all kinds of rice with different utensils under many different circumstances. The one trick I've learned is, yes follow the regular rules (rinse, boil, cook on low), except at the 10 minute mark lift the lid and take

This is true and that's why the US should have a publicly funded, independent (think judiciary and national bank) news organization similar to the BBC in the UK. As it is, there's a plausible reason to question the motives of any

Two things surprised me about this article. First, I thought Yelp had an abysmal reputation. Threatening businesses with a poor review if they didn't buy an ad. Taking money for boosting a businesses rating. Was this all just FUD f
