THAT'S RACIST!!!!

this is pretty important.

Today, most kitchen trash bags are white (though the outdoor kind tend to be dark green or black). That stems from a time when most kitchen appliances were white or shades of beige. That time has passed.

...

While stainless steel is the bigger trend in appliances, black is a bigger deal in trash cans, said Lisa Smith, marketing manager for Hefty waste bags, primarily because black cans are less expensive than stainless steel or chrome. Consumers also find black bags look better with stainless steel than white ones, she said.

Delving deeper, Hefty discovered trash also looks better, or at least less messy, in black bags. (via)

now you know everything.

your daily boat

i work right next to some very busy shipping lanes, and every day on my way i see a new crazy ass boat outside. i like to make a mental note of their names, and then google them when i get in, to learn a little bit about life, you know?

so i'm going to start sharing them with you.

today's boat: the tuchkov bridge!

will you get a load of how big she is?!?!

how OLD is she? 6 bears old
how BIG is she? 27,775 tons!
what does she have in her tummy? crude oil (i have a feeling they'll all be carrying that, but we'll find out together, ok?)
forever home: liberia

fun facts:
she seems to be named after a real-life bridge in st. petersburg, russia.
she got stuck on her way to baltimore a couple years ago.
you can track her location on the internet, though it's a bit delayed.
