IIRC michael phelps was already over 6 ft tall when he first competed in the olympics at 16.

Maintaining an up-to-date urban sidewalk map is a hard problem and GPS is unreliable in urban areas. Furthermore, it isn't completely given that navigation satellites are available in the future due to how they can hypothetically be used for missile guidance. Ostensibly the mentioned...

I've had luck with red russian kale surviving into late winter, but not consistently. I think I had different varieties of it, and it can fail to go above freezing for entire months here. Life tip: don't live in the center of a continent in a temperate zone.

Oh man, you know you're a nerd when you have a Nazca Lines hoodie.

I understand that I missed out on dating a friend in high school due to social obliviousness, but it couldn't have been this obvious. Take her on a date sekihara.

Is there a nearby alternate universe where Neji was a specialist in cartoonish office worker slice-of-life? I'm a bit surprised by this one.

One way to try to get robots to care for humans is to give them an analog of the cuteness appreciation instinct. That instinct is as if designed to encourage us to care for small children. You might try to directly give them an appreciation for squishy things like humans, but that risks what you...

Due to years of cooking for myself with a dog and a full beard, I no longer mind hair in my food!

I've never tried drinking coffee grinds. Must be memorable.

You can also catch crayfish with your bare hands. But presumably it's not healthy to do that above the arctic circle like these two.

Keep in mind that you need to cook insects very well before eating them due to them frequently having parasites. It's not like meat where you can often eat it rare.

I think what's being depicted here is the tendency for cats to climb on top of tires when looking for warm and dry shelter. My dad would always call the space above the tire the "dead cat space." :( It's a good habit to check your tires regardless.

Hopefully by the time we have human-like artificial intelligence jewl-sized synthetic diamonds will have broken the diamond cartel.

Everyone loves over-the-top teutonic order helmets. Too bad the magnaka didn't work a crown into the design. I should watch Alexander Nevsky next time I'm with my brother.

It's difficult for me to believe, but according to historical Gallup polls, the fraction of Americans who approve of interracial marriage did not become a majority until the mid-nineties. We look at opposition to interracial marriage in other countries and despair about their race problems, but...

People spend large fractions of their lives consuming popular culture. It is nice to think that it will be remembered, even if only by clones and robots.

You can tell it's a shabby cafe because the owner smokes in it.
