I'm Guilty Of This
10 Things Petrolheads Do That Infuriate Non-Car Lovers
People who like cars are a total minority, but we're also supremely passionate. That means we can get a bit carried away, and sometimes that infuriates the non-car lovers around us!
Interrupting conversations to point out cool cars
People who like cars are a total minority, but we're also supremely passionate. That means we can get a bit carried away, and sometimes that infuriates the non-car lovers around us!
Interrupting conversations to point out cool cars
- If you like cars, you have a natural ability to spot interesting metal no matter how quickly it flies by. This is especially relevant while driving - your friend is chatting away, and you spot something on the other side of the motorway. “Ooh, look, a Ferrari”, you blurt out, letting your friend know you hadn’t been listening to a word they were saying.
- When you’re really into something, you tend to like the things that the average person just doesn’t understand. Movie lovers will often say their favourite movie is some quirky black and white film you’ve never heard of, for example. And it’s the same with cars - you might know why the Toyota AE86 is so revered, but your mates will just see another crappy old hatchback.
In Summary, It's Waste Of $
People are going crazy for pink Himalayan salt — here’s why it’s a waste of money
About 200 million years ago, crystallized sea-salt beds in the Himalayas were drowned in lava. The salt remained buried under snow and ice for millennia, which protected it from modern-day pollution. Now it is unrefined, unprocessed, and mined by hand, making it one of the purest salts on earth.
The pure conditions of seabeds make Himalayan salt more mineral-rich than processed table salt. It contains nearly 80 minerals, including phosphorus, bromine, boron, and zinc. Because its crystals are stone ground and therefore larger than fine table salt, it also has less sodium in each serving.
Enthusiasts such as Dr. Oz believe these properties provide incredible health benefits to the respiratory system, sinuses, bones, libido, and more.
However, nutritionists say that the salt is not as healthy as people believe.
In an interview with Yahoo Health, Rene Ficek, lead nutrition expert at Seattle Sutton’s Healthy Eating said, “pink salt is quite popular at the moment, but its health claims may be grossly overstated."
“The truth is that the amount of minerals is too miniscule to make any measurable difference, and we already consume plenty of the same nutrients from other elements of our diet — grains, vegetables, and meat,” Ficek said.
Himalayan salt may taste decent and look pretty, but it's best to take its health claims with a grain of salt.

These Dining Spots Are Great For Special Occasions
10 Best OC Restaurants To Celebrate a Significant Life Event
Mastro's
Mastro's
- Mastro's is famous for its steak. Only the sissies or those who realize they're in way over their heads order the chicken, and even that isn't cheap. Forget the salmon, forget the pork chop, forget everything else that doesn't go moo. Hunks of beef, bloody rare inside, crusted with black sooty char outside, is why you go to Mastro's. Sure, it'll cost an arm, a leg, and possibly, a spare kidney. Why worry now? Go for broke for the Australian wagyu ribeye that's served still attached to a bone as ridiculously large as the price is steep. It eats like a hundred dollar piece of steak should: effortless, sinew-free, every sanguine, tender piece you slice an affirmation that you're still alive and carnivorous. The sides? A la carte, of course. A few, like the lobster mashed potatoes will cost as much as a steak. But even a pauper should at least sacrifice a few hours' wage for the sugar snap peas. Expect a dimly lit room, excellent free bread, white tablecloths, hot towels, crumb scrapers, and a uniformed guy in the bathroom who expects to be tipped after he hands you a towel.
I Hope This Really Happens
President of basketball operations Jim Buss has said he'll step down
after next season if he can't get the franchise headed in "the right
direction." He has never wavered from that timeline, nor has his sister
Jeanie Buss, the Lakers president, ever let up in holding him to it.
