Get a Mac (The Complete Campaign) →

Today I found out about 'flour weevils'...
I usually store small amounts (~6cups) of flour in plastic containers separate from the giant bag of flour that I had. This year was the first time I had bought a bag that big, so that might have had to do with the longer storing period.

The Disadvantages of an Elite Education →
An interesting and thought provoking piece that has articulated a lot of what I’ve been thinking about my time at college and the inconsistencies in measuring knowledge.
