Or as the originator of this observation put it, “Sleep tight, old fogies.” If you remember how ancient 1937 felt in 1980, then you know just how warp-speed the journey from ’80 to today has been.  Time is both tedious and fleeting.   Experts Urge Americans To Transfer Their Balances In 2025 [Partner]  Did you know some credit cards can actually help you get out of debt faster? Yes, it sounds crazy. But it’s true. The secret: Find a card with a “0% intro APR" period for balance transfers.

Always have been. Prescription glasses by first grade. Contacts in third. Can’t leave the house without sunglasses. They dry out if we so much as think about the wind. And don’t get us started on rogue eyebrow hairs. That’s just gross. And now, after all this, we find out they’ve got remnants of a third eyelid in there?  Fantastic.   The Unhinged Story of Stratton Oakmont, the Wolf of Wall Street Firm That Defrauded Millions We don’t get money people. We really don’t. Of all the things to get addicted to, they pick money? It’s just numbers. They go up. They go down. Yawn. So of course they had to scream at each other, con investors, and snort their weight in drugs. Otherwise, it’s just… math.  Welcome to Stratton Oakmont.   Strangers Are Subconsciously Guessing Your Personality Based on Your Looks We are all portraits in a gallery of assumptions. A glance, a furrowed brow, a sidelong smirk. Each a subconscious brushstroke on the canvas of who you are, or rather, who they think you are. You do it, don’t you? Cast judgment on all you see.  Guess what? So does everyone else.   The Mixer This salted plum sake martini. Why it’s useful to know the smoke point of oil. Sweet Vermouth vs. Dry Vermouth: What’s the difference? Why people are taking longer vacations in 2025. The unlikely discovery of coffee. Ancient mummies with golden tongues.
