The kids in my family attend a school where the parents have all verbally agreed to not get their kids a smart phone until 16. This removes the peer pressure element of owning a phone/instagram/etc. When that’s removed there is li

It's not that bad, it doesn't even have an accept cookies popup blocking half the screen.

Cool. Interesting to note that the original is not necessarily the "correct" real world color palette (it's accuracy is subject to camera settings, sensor response, lighting, etc), so the colorized version could in theory be

I love my cast iron skillet, which must be at least 4 decades old. It’s great for cooking with the only challenging task being scrambling eggs on low heat (for fluffier eggs), which can stick a little. I recently bought a new cast iron skil

As a start (and possibly as an equivalent proof?) you can mentally brute force it by cutting the board down to 4x4 and just visualising how the blocks might fit. It quickly becomes obvious that it's not possible.
