It’s My Birthday, But You Get the Gift!
I woke up feeling generous because today is my birthday. Actually, I woke up and wondered why everything hurts so damn much all the time, why nothing actually gets better despite doing good things for myself, and how much worse things are going to get as I age? The worst part is that I’m not…

Got Pets? Read The Ultimate Guide to Survival Prepping for Pets

Flexible Solar Panels Better Than Rigid?
I saw the following video below and though there’s no way it’s possible that flexible panels outperform rigid panels, all things considered.
