@tatianachiaia by @vescudierph   The 20 Most-googled Text Abbreviations We went to a concert Friday night. Some lady standing behind us kept saying “tea be aitch.” The actual phrase, “to be honest;” is only one more syllable than “tea be aitch.” How much time could she really be saving here? Let’s stick with words for verbal interactions. Save these abbreeves for the DMs.  IYKYK.   The Knife That Does It All (Including Popping Open a Cold One) [Partner]  This new EDC knife from Kershaw is all the craze right now. Literally. It’s actually called the Kershaw Craze. With its sharp BlackWash reverse tanto blade and secure DuraLock system, it’s perfect for all your cutting tasks. The textured handle ensures a comfortable grip, and the KVT ball bearings make opening smooth and effortless. Plus, it’s more than just a knife. It has an integrated bottle opener, putting the fun in functional. Whether for work or play, the Craze is the versatile tool you’ll reach for again and again.  For less than $50, it’s the epitome of bang for your buck.   SHOP NOW   The Flickering Portal to a Forgotten World of Personal Screens It’s the 90s. The 1890s. You’re wearing a three-piece suit, a floppy bow tie, and my, my, my look at your old-time-y mustache. That thing’s a beaut. You’re bored. What do you do to entertain yourself? Why, you head down to your local parlor or penny arcade to drop a coin into a machine you peep into to see moving pictures. Of course.  Who has some spare change handy?   How Looking at Your Phone Can Lead to Neck Pain If our default posture was a yoga pose, it would be called The Hunched Typer. It’s easy, even for beginners. Simply curl your fingers as if you're holding tennis balls in both hands. Then, bring your arms up slightly, like a T-rex. That’s it. You’re doing it perfectly.  Can’t be good for the neck.   How Many Languages Can One Person Learn in a Lifetime We have a new man crush. He works at a French cafe near our apartment we use as our office sometimes. We’ve said nothing more to him than, “One coffee to stay, please.” And yet, we have heard him speak three different languages. He also wears a Patek. And he is almost too on top of keeping your coffee refilled. Almost.  How many more languages could he possibly know?   The Mixer The absolute best whiskeys for beginners. Why the geologist who discovered the oldest water on Earth tasted it. The most magnificent train rides in the U.S. Five historical figures with silly phobias. The best football drinks to bring to the tailgate. The best Tim Burton movies of all time. The five moments legendary villains should have died. The best and worst chain pizza restaurants, ranked. Auto insurance companies hate when you do this (but they can’t stop you).* *Partner     /GTFO @bradflowerss | Tenerife, Canary Islands     Our Gentleman's Agreement We'll keep the free daily newsletters coming.
