If you don't have a quarter to spare, put some ice cubes in a cup or on a plate. If they change shape, they defrosted at some point. Toss your food and call your home insurance. A lot of home owner's insurance will cover the cost of replacing food due to disasters or outages.

So no joke: the dictatorship in 1970s Argentina once banned Venn diagrams. Because they could be seen as finding common ground between two (apparently) different groups, and if you’re a dictator, unity is a threat. There’s an artist whose work revolves around this!

I’m trying to collect problems that are mathematical but still approachable by the general public. Example: how many holes does a straw have? #mathsky

As someone with Wisconsin family, we always had Penzey’s sent as gifts. One wing of the family was recently horrified, the other ramped up the spice exchange.

Having been the primary person making end-of-life decisions for a loved one (my grandmother), let me just say, there is simply no substitute for honest conversations, both with your loved one and with health care providers, and there never will be.

I love “things were better in the olden days” stuff from the year my grandmother was born. From “49-17.” A film from 1917 looking back on 1849. It’s obvious when you write it out, but it’s striking to realize that 1849 was no more distant to the people making/watching this than 1956 is to us.

“This necklace takes me back fi the old days out West. Society didn’t count for much, but our friends were real…”
