Stir in the silence of you. Just you. There’s a little voice in there, in the solitude of yourself. And no one can talk to it except for you. It’s the voice that helps you create anything original. Anything that gets created for the sake of creating.  And these are the absolute best quotes about tapping into that solitude. Enjoy.   Remember When Humans Did That?

Flippy’s resume is already impressive: Fried 2.5m+ baskets for brands like White Castle and Jack in the Box Handpicked by NVIDIA to integrate its AI-vision tech Can boost the industry’s profits by $24B per year 170 fast food brands and 100,000+ U.S. locations are waiting. Which makes the timing of this opportunity, in light of this year’s next-gen Flippy rollout, so intriguing.  For a limited time, become a Miso shareholder and earn up to 10% bonus stock.   LEARN MORE   Street Cred: 5 of the Most Beautiful Streets in the World to Lay Your Hat Diddling around is one of our favorite pastimes.

It screams into your nostrils. But booze? Technically, it doesn't expire. But that’s only before it’s opened. Once the cap or cork is cracked or popped, oxygen is the enemy. Even then, it won’t always degrade to the point where it’s unsafe to consume.  But it will lose its luster.   Why Do Dogs Lift Their Leg to Pee? In the courtyard behind our building, there’s a little section of gravel next to the dumpsters. Absolutely every dog stops at it to sniff and pee. Most of them, lifting their legs to do so. What’s with these sickos? Why that one area?  And is the leg lift necessary? Really?   The Mixer A simple evening routine for better sleep. A cocktail for pickle lovers.
