@tessazofficial   UFOs, Folklore, and Fears: Welcome to Japan’s Alien Tourism Hot Spots We love aliens. Putting that out there in case they ever take over. But it’s also genuine. We often try to convince our wife that we were abducted at a young age. Taken to the Mother Ship. Shown the secrets of the universe. Then, plopped back down into our second-grade classroom. But are aliens a good tourist destination?  Your call, Dear Riders.   These Pants Are Ready for Anything, Even Though They Don’t Look It  [Partner]  For the jack-of-all-trades, it’s tough to “dress for the job.” Because the job could be anything. The Ridge Pants from 5.11 get it. They were created for that exact reason. With an 8-pocket design and extra strength in every stitch, they put utility first. But that doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice style. These pants look sharp. The pockets are streamlined, including the zippered cargo, keeping your essentials within reach without adding the extra bulk. Durable. Clean look. No drama. Just a pant that works as hard as you do.  With six colorways, the choice is yours.

Because art is useless. And yet, people risk everything to steal it.  Tells you a lot about the human condition.   6 Ways to Deal with Disappointment Strategically We were disappointed with a recent project we worked on. We had low expectations going into it, and somehow it subceeded them. It caused us to question, “Why did we take this gig anyway?” It wasn’t for money. It wasn’t for ego. After simmering on it, the truth emerged. It was just to have something new to talk about. And in that sense, we succeeded greatly.  Deal with your disappointments properly, and they turn into wins.   A Crow’s Math Skills Include Geometry Well, here’s your latest crow news. The more we study the bastards, the smarter they get. You know we have a fear of birds (and jellyfish), so it terrifies us that they know geometry. Though, on the other hand, we’ve yet to find a practical use for geometry.  Other than re-doing some built-in cabinets.   The Mixer The best beard styles for bald guys. 15 summer party ideas.
