That metal can be soft and flexible (while building a pizza box solar oven)
That complementary colors make one…
My favorite thing about science is that it’s EVERYWHERE.

“We oppose the teaching of Higher Order Thinking Skills, critical thinking skills...”
– The Texas Republican 2012 platform, which officially opposes teaching students “critical thinking skills.
Wow…
(via kristenegetsit)

3. I have to go several screens deep to access my inbox, and I’m a little afraid to find out whether or not it...

sometimes i really just want someone to fall asleep with
I worry about this, actually. I’ll keep somebody nice and warm, that’s for sure, but I’ll die of heat in the middle of the night, or I’ll just never fall asleep because I’m too bloody hot. I’m a polar bear, ask anybody who’s stayed in my room, they say it’s frigid. I say...

I’m imagining her drinking and yelling at the tv.
That sounds like my average football (soccer, not American) season! Well, the drinking being heavily limited, of course.
