Nina SimonsPublished 7 years ago in WanderHow Car Maintenance Costs Increase With Mileage
I have an hour-long commute, and lately, I've been noticing some issues with my car. I've been noticing the need to replace air filters more frequently, the need for higher oil changes, and much, much more. Wear and tear, as it's commonly called, does pack a powerful punch, when it comes to maintenance costs.
Skunk UzekiPublished 7 years ago in WheelDon't Just Shop, Be Smart at It!
With the economy fluctuating like a roller-coaster ride over the past few years, the inflation rates are huge and the prices for everything are going up by the day. That holds true for the stuff we use on a daily basis like groceries, toiletries, baby products, stationery, medicines, etc. Even when it comes to travelling or taking loans, things have become a bit on the steeper side for the average earner. In such a scenario, how can one help himself and his pocket? Does he stop buying the stuff that he needs? Does he stop stepping out of the house for an occasional vacation?
Sukriti TanejaPublished 7 years ago in LifehackJokes About Pennsylvania that Are Funny Because They’re True
Having lived in the commonwealth of Pennsylvania since 2003, I can tell you: the keystone state is a weird place. It’s basically Philly and the Burgh on either side, and in between you can find a combination of the states of Alabama, Kentucky, and maybe Texas, where many tiny cities are found. These tiny towns are not only suburbs of our two major cities, which are some of the biggest cities in the nation, but also suburbs of some of what I like to call PA’s “minor cities.” These cities include Erie, Scranton, Altoona, and the capital city of Harrisburg, where I grew up. All of that said, please don’t root for the other sports teams, and I say this well aware that people in Harrisburg will root for the Phillies during baseball season, and then during football season, those exact same people will have Terrible Towels as flags outside their houses. Pennsylvania is also seemingly the one state in the entire country that doesn’t sell alcoholic beverages in gas stations or grocery stores, although there have been some strides made in recent years, but most of the time, you have to buy your alcohol at a state-owned Wine & Spirits stores. And don’t even get me started on the Wawa-Sheetz-GetGo war. With all of that in mind, it’s not that uncommon for people to joke about my home state, and to quote The Megas, “some sting but some can’t help but ring true,” and then there are some that are funny because they are true. I found a website with a list of Pennsylvania jokes that I would like to touch on a little bit because, like I said, they’re funny because they’re true, but many might not know how true they actually are.

Picture this: little 10 year old me, sitting on the couch watching “Atlantis Squarepantis” (aka the episode of Spongebob in which they visit Atlantis) dreaming about the moment I, too, could go to Atlantis. Well, that dream came true! In 2013, my family and I took a trip to Paradise Island, Bahamas, and stayed in the Atlantis resort. It has since been one of my favorite trips we have taken. Looking to plan a vacation on this beautiful island? Here are 5 must do’s while travelling to Atlantis, Paradise Island!
DIY Raspberry Pi Hobby Computer Build for Less Than $180
Hello everyone. These days everyone needs a computer. From work to fun, it is a necessity. But while there are many cheap older computers available, generally they fail because of the demands of modern technology. So what I had in mind was to create a cheap build, using only the parts I had available around the house. The great thing about this build is that you can replace anything in this list except the USB hub and the processor and it will work as a charm. This is what I came up with (note that the Raspberry Pi was the only new thing I bought, the rest was available). If you want to build an exact replica of mine go below. Note that this is a workstation build for gaming and video editing; the processor requirement will go up considerably so look elsewhere.

The automotive industry was a major step forward in the evolution of mankind. It gave us the ability to travel on our own terms, not bottled up on a train for days, stuck on horseback, or leading a wagon train. It created a new faucet for the creative types to make a statement on the world, define an era, and ultimately change the world forever. Hundreds, if not thousands of manufacturers have come and gone, each leaving their own unique footprint in the timeline. Still today we see dozens, if not hundreds of different brands of automobiles on the roads. We cherish classics, some to the tune of tens of millions of dollars on the auction block. But what is it that makes us cherish these relics? Is it the engineering? The beauty? A childhood dream car? All of these are perfectly fine reasons to cherish automobiles, and I believe it’s a true mark of greatness for humanity because of how differently something so common is perceived by the masses.
My Little Renaissance
The sun was setting over the Pyrenees mountains, as I reached the top of the Piazzale Michelangelo viewing platform overlooking the beautiful city of Firenze (I know english is Florence, but it just doesn't sound quite as good, so I'll stick with Firenze). I turned around, put on a rather specific tune on my headphones, and got my first glimpses of the city's panorama. At that moment, despite having only spent an hour in this far away place, I suddenly felt at home. Not in a classic sense of course, but rather — like the comedian Trevor Moore once so elegantly put — as a conscious vibration observing my little section of life.
