The Venn diagram of old people with limited mobility (can't just drive to the post office or grocery store) and on a fixed income (they crave those discounts) is nearly a perfect c…

No, these are expensive pencils that have high quality assurance to make sure the graphite is as hard as it's supposed to be. You use a jig to hold the pencil in a specific way eac…

Simple answer, don't deep fry a fucking steak. I have never seen anyone do that and I can't imagine why you would need to do it. Just put it on a hot cast iron pan (you can buy one…

To be fair, nearly all of the science payloads on Voyager 1 & 2 have been shut down. The probes are doing very little. The doesn't take away from the very unique science they are d…
