I think it's one of the state's best-kept secrets.The commercial district is a single block long, anchored at one end by the Hotel Warm Springs Bed and Breakfast, and at the other end, across the street, the Bulloch House Restaurant. Both sides of the street are lined with …

Their comments were overheard by some locals …

The UFO Experience is largely based upon Belief, and here's a short "promo video" teasing one of the classic controversial cases in all of ufology. Another example is Rich Reynolds' Former UFO Study Official Confirms Info Found in Anthony Bragalia's FOIA Related to UFO Debris. This seems not "new news," per Billy Cox' October 25th A Glimmer of Light from the Black World. And comments to Rich's October 18th A …

submitted by Bernard CapulongA pocket knife is one of the most essential parts of my everyday carry, and judging by how often it features in the community, it's a popular part of everyday carry, period. While it's an essential staple in many people's pockets, the sheer number of options on the market may make it difficult to select the best one for your setup. And that's even before considering restrictions …

We spent the weekend at my father’s house and today at my sister-in-law’s house. This is why we moved up here. We’re so close, yet so far from being done with Florida as the house still has not sold. Please keep your fingers crossed that something changes there soon. The post The Never-ending Move appeared first on Chris Wiegman.

Ted Gioia argues the rise of “dopamine culture” is what’s behind the fragmentation and degradation of art into entertainment and compulsive consumption; people talk about how they get a “hit” of dopamine when they open TikTok or play Vampire Survivors.

 Here’s your complete Garmin Forerunner 165 Beginners Guide, which covers everything you need to know about how to use the watch day to day. This is a bit different than my review videos (or the Garmin Forerunner 165 In-Depth Review itself), in that I’m focused more on ‘how’ to use the product, rather than things I do or don’t like about the product. As such, it’s packed with tips …

The clever people who sell Lyle’s Golden Syrup are removing the image of bees swarming round a dead lion from at least some of its packaging. “Our fresh, contemporary design brings Lyle’s into the modern day, appealing to the everyday British household while still feeling nostalgic and authentically Lyle’s,” says the brand director, which obviously means nothing whatsoever, so others have stepped in to fill the gap. “The story of …
