Have you ever thought to yourself: Doritos are great, but I really wish they were warm, nacho-cheese-filled, triangular cheese sticks coated with Dorito powder? Well, 7-Eleven has just released the snack of your dreams. Los Angelenos were the first to…

An anonymous reader writes "Bad news for Brazillians. Google's first social network, Orkut, will be shut down at the end of September. A farewell message on the Orkut blog reads in part: "Ten years ago, Orkut was Google's first foray into social networking. Built as a '20 percent' project, Orkut communities started conversations, and forged connections, that had never existed before. Orkut helped shape life online before people really knew what "social networking" was. Over the past decade, YouTube, Blogger and Google+ have taken off, with communities springing up in every corner of the world. Because the growth of these communities has outpaced Orkut's growth, we've decided to bid Orkut farewell (or, tchau). We'll be focusing our energy and resources on making these other social platforms as amazing as possible for everyone who uses them."

Everyone loves traveling. Anyone who says that they don’t is just too scared. Almost everyone loves to relax, see new things, learn, and adventure! Lucky for those less fortunate, scared people, they have the Travel Channel, books, and stories from their brave, rich and annoying celebrities.

Watch out all who are prone to jealousy: people can be a travel talker. Maybe the one who is into adventure traveled to Europe, swam the English Channel and won’t shut up about how they drank so much salt water, their mouth bled. What about the narcissistic showoff who bought a whole new wardrobe in Milan; one may never stop hearing about how expensive their new ascot was. Perhaps a know-it-all who now believes they can run a country because of all the information they learned on their guided tour of the Roman Colosseum. Better yet, the friend who is convinced that time is not an issue in other countries, and that everyone is much more relaxed everywhere else, and “you should really take a vacation”.

One can only hope to have a friend with a family who arrives home from their vacation, kisses the ground and complains about how terrible traveling is. This person will surely reassure those that eating Cheetos in front of a television is a fine way to spend free time.

Maybe these types of people just haven’t been to the Mediterranean. A wonderland full of clear water, ridiculously good food, wine that bleeds good taste, and entertainment in every city So which kind of traveler will you be one day? Pick your destination carefully.

Waffle House has shown the most concentrated efforts in supporting the US team in the 2014 World Cup. In anticipation of Tuesday’s second-round match between Belgium and the United States, the southern waffle powerhouse has called for a ban of Belgian waffles. Waffle…

*Ginsburg, I know, my rage blinded my usual propensity to spellcheck. My bad RBG!!

Who can afford this ridiculous rent here in DC? Not this guy. $1800 for a studio so small you can stick our your arms and touch the walls in a sketchy neighborhood. Sure, here's 50% of my monthly income, thank you.

We all know that parquet floors is code for "This building is older than you are." And "up and coming neighborhood" means you'll probably get mugged on a semi-regular basis. Any building that with a "classic" look is falling apart. You're sick and tired of having mice run around your pantry?

Me too. Solution? Let's get married. (Kinda!) All of the married couples get to split rent on a 1br. Dating and getting married is expensive and time consuming. Ain't nobody got time for that! We'll just skip ahead to the living together part. Cool?

I am- a 30 yo male. Employed. Reasonably attractive. Healthy. Never married. No kids. Good job. Great hygiene. Bonus: I'm a cuddler!

You are - A female between the ages of 26 and 33. Social drinker. Non smoker. No drugs. Good hygiene. No felony charges. Healthy.

We find a one bedroom in a great apartment building with granite counter tops, rude 24hr concierge, and floor-to-ceiling windows. This is a must! We move in together. Enjoy the amenities. Have friends over. Enjoy life.

Caveat - You must love live music, books, crazy wild sex, good wine, and be willing to try out my (often misguided) attempts at cooking.

Who needs dating and getting to know each other and all that nonsense?! We can just cohabitate at [address]...

If interested (and how could you not be after this kick-ass proposal?), respond with a little bit about yourself. Please include photos!

(No Republicans, please.)
*Also, we're not for real getting married. Maybe...*

Created by UK inventor Alex Shirley-Smith, Tentsile is an ingenious portable suspended treehouse that installs much like a hammock while offering the convenience of a multi-person tent. Simply locate any three anchor points and install the tent above ground where you’re immediately clear of threats from rain and a plethora of ground-based creepy crawly things.

The Tentsile system was first conceived by Shirley-Smith in 2010 and after an early concept went absurdly viral around the web in 2012 the company hired another designer, Kirk Kirchev. The team worked through a series of 14 prototypes before finally releasing their first production model, the Tentsile Stingray, at the end of last year. You can learn more about this backpackable treehouse over on their website. (via My Modern Met, This Isn’t Happiness)

This makes me uncomfortable. [x]

French artist Gilbert Legrand takes common objects like household tools, garden implements, plumbing fixtures, paintbrushes and cleaning supplies — adds the occasional bit of extra material, and paints the resulting objects with faces and other characteristics — to produce his delightfully whimsical sculpture/assemblages.

In addition to his sculptures, he has a section in his site (under “réalisations”) in which he arranges objects against various backgrounds to form themed images.
