"The abandoned towers in Isfahan, Iran feature a honeycomb-designed interior, which was beautifully constructed for a pretty gross purpose. No two towers were built alike, they're all designed differently. Each tower was built to house between 5,000 and 7,000 pigeons. Why? To collect their droppings for fertilizer. Pigeons were often prey during the nighttime, so the towers provided them protection." - Todd Hoff

Disgustingly awesome! - Ken Morley

Which side are you on? Dark energy or dark matter? - Todd Hoff

"When University of Bonn psychologist Monika Eckstein designed her latest published study, the goal was simple: administer a hormone into the noses of 62 men in hopes that their fear would go away. And for the most part, it did. The hormone was oxytocin, often called our “love hormone” due to its crucial role in mother-child relationships, social bonding, and intimacy (levels soar during sex). But it also seems to have a significant antianxiety effect. Give oxytocin to people with certain anxiety disorders, and activity in the amygdala—the primary fear center in human and other mammalian brains, two almond-shaped bits of brain tissue sitting deep beneath our temples—falls." - Todd Hoff

And I thought my Otrivin addiction was hard to kick. - Ken Morley

"Now empirical evidence confirms what many of us have felt all along, Drawing and making art are good for you. Making art positively affects the brain and enhances stress resistance. In a peer-reviewed article, “How Art Changes Your Brain: Differential Effects of Visual Art Production and Cognitive Art Evaluation on Functional Brain Connectivity”, the authors stated that their research was the first to demonstrate the neural effects of visual art production on psychological resilience in adulthood." - Todd Hoff

Extension by inserting code into a template is just really bad design: - (BOOL) application:( UIApplication *) application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:( NSDictionary *) launchOptions { self.window = [[ UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[ UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]]; // Override point for customization after application launch - Todd Hoff

WatchKit added a way for an extension to query an app, but the same mechanism isn't available in any other extension. Likewise there's share, air drop, etc that all kind of do the same thing through different means. - Todd Hoff

But other than that the casting and the acting were excellent. Good effects. And just that right amount of how the hell do they do that. It's a different kind of social justice film, one that doesn't rely on cartoon super heroes, which is quite refreshing. - Todd Hoff

Steve, it was the least enjoyable part! #notachick - Jenny H.
