Cold and icy in much of the country today so it’s the perfect time for the Passive Dryer concept.

A simple dryer and warmer shield that uses heat from household vents to quickly dry shoes and socks.

Ahmed al Ahmed, the man who tackled one of the Bondi killers, became an Australian citizen 3 years ago.

His deed was "his way of conveying his gratitude for staying in Australia, for being granted citizenship."

He took 5 bullets, and fears he'll lose his left arm.

Reasons why I'm polite to waiters:

1) Because I realize they're human beings, trying to make a living, not my fucking servants.

my elderly mother-in-law is starting to have trouble with her iPhone; more specifically the UI/UX. It goes well beyond turning down transparency. Changes in where buttons, search boxes are placed, in addition to certain “automatic sorting” becomes disorienting especially when fonts are made bigger.

LinkedIn adding its equivalent of Farmville gaming to its platform is probably the most cringe decision LinkedIn has ever made.

I don't want to match high scores with Karen from HR.

Very unfortunate and awkward looking.

At that price point, I'd rather have a Mustang GTD.

California is expanding its water supply by adding 2.9 billion gallons a year through eight major state-funded projects.

We're recycling more water, removing PFAS, upgrading wastewater systems and building new desalination for over one million Californians.

This is how we build drought resilience.

As a total swing-and-a-miss rebrand / redesign I can't blame JLR for getting rid of McGovern. I think their only mistake was not doing it sooner.
