It's Official: Speed Bumps Are Terrible For The Environment And Need To Die
A health watchdog in the UK has linked people's driving habits to an increase in pollution, contributing to thousands of deaths every year
According to the UK’s National Institute for Health and Care Excellence
(NICE), speed bumps either need to be completely redesigned from their
current forms, or be removed entirely to promote smoother, more
economical driving. As it stands, speed bumps are causing drivers to
accelerate and decelerate constantly, making a hefty contribution to air
pollution - something which kills 25,000 people every year in this
country alone.

Did You Know - Yakitori Edition
A Helpful Guide To Japanese Yakitori
Seseri
Seseri
- Chicken neck. Only a small amount can be taken from each bird, and it has a somewhat uneven texture — it’s juicy and fatty, yet can also be firm in places.
- Chicken skin. It’s an especially popular dish in Japan, where it is prized for its high content of collagen.
- Chicken liver. It’s very delicate as the texture changes frequently, depending on how it’s cooked. The liver is an excellent source of iron and vitamins. Look for restaurants to serve it marinated in tare sauce and add on toppings like shichimi pepper.

They Are Useful, But Space Needy
How To Decide When A 'Parts Car' Is Actually A Good Idea
A “parts car” is a spare car you have solely to harvest pieces from to keep another car alive. Sounds like a great thing to have, right? I thought so too, but in case you needed more convincing here’s the business case for a parts car. And a guide on how to find one.
Of course all this is dependent on your willingness to have the dead husk of a car on your property indefinitely, and the time to actually dismantle it. And the means to hawk the bits you don’t want.
Obviously you’re going to want your parts car to be as compatible as possible with your project, but even if you find a matching color scheme be extra careful to confirm that your new donor has the parts you want in decent condition. You are buying a dead car, after all.
