While they pretty much look the same to the naked eye, there are some ways to tell them apart, according to Friends of Big Bear Valley (FOBBV). Formerly called Chick 1, Sandy has a larger head and neck. It also has a slight curve to the interior of its beak. Sandy has also been the more submissive of the two so far. Luna (formerly Chick 2) is smaller and…
Look, I love a Kindle, but if you want to get the best e-reader for your buck, the answer is actually a Kobo. My favorite is the Kobo Libra Colour that’s cheaper than the Kindle Colorsoft and can also double as a digital notebook if you add on the $70 stylus. I also prefer Kobo’s annotating options; you can write right on the pages, instead of in weird pop-up margins and boxes only on Kindle. Kobo also has its own page-turner remote now, which I love to pair with a pillow stand holder so I can lean back and relax…
Before you come at me, let me just say I love every game on this list and “friendslop” here is no insult. Instead, I’m using it affectionately. It’s an increasingly useful tongue-in-cheek term to describe a particular genreless genre: games you can pick up on the cheap, jump into without much preamble or complex tutorials, and really get bang for your buck when playing with friends near and far. These games are often only as difficult as you make them, rewarding competent teamwork and often featuring some form of janky hilarity as part of the package. Top-tier party games for…

Combining lasers and sharks may sound like a bad idea, but marine ecologists are banking on it to help save some of the planet’s most threatened species. By merging optical technology and geochemistry, a group of researchers in Australia are gaining far more accurate information on the snub-nosed speartooth shark’s (Glyphis glyphis) age, as well as the health of its environment. Just like a tree, you can tell a lot about a shark by its rings. But instead of concentric circles in wood, biologists…
Last Crumb’s cookies are expensive. But they’re so damn delicious. I love the luxe gift-box packaging and cheeky branding (for example, a 24-pack is called a DiCaprio), but I love the cookies even more. There are 12 flavors in the Core Collection, with additional flavors coming around as limited-edition offerings. They can be microwaved or heated in the oven before eating, and the individually wrapped, sealed cookies can be kept on the counter for two weeks or in the freezer for two months.I tried Last Crumb cookies in Everything but the Candles (a birthday cake flavor bursting with rich vanilla…
Apple has reportedly approached Samsung and Intel about building “main device chips” in a bid to reduce its dependence on TSMC, Bloomberg has reported. The iPhone maker is said to have had early-stage talks with Intel and recently visited a Samsung chip plant currently under development in Texas. No orders have been placed so far and talks with both suppliers are still preliminary, according to sources familiar with the matter. Over the last decade Apple has relied mainly on TSMC to build the processors (system-on-chips, or SoCs) that power its iPhones, iPads and, more recently, Macs. Apple is reportedly uncomfortable…
After beating the game, playing through its secret ending, acquiring all its text and audio logs, and dissecting every entry in its databank, I think I’ve pieced together what is actually happening in Saros.
For far too long, purchasing sex toys was done in seedy stores on random roads off highways. Lovehoney wanted to change all that. With more and more people getting online, the founders of Lovehoney saw the opportunity to create a safe and discreet space that allowed consumers a one-stop experience for all their sex toy-related needs. So, in 2002, the Lovehoney website was launched and ever since it’s been in the business of keeping people—millions of them at this point—sexually satisfied.Lovehoney’s collection is extensive. Not only do they carry their own brand of products, but they also carry some of…

According to Cornell Lab’s BirdCast, an estimated 373 million winged migrators will continue their journey north during the early evening hours of May 4th. Most of the activity will be visible in the South and along the East Coast, but wildlife experts are politely reminding everyone hoping to catch a glimpse of the traveling birds to make sure you’re not blinding them from below. Birds migrate for…
