Well-known YouTube makers (and besties) Simone Giertz and Laura Kampf have created a new product. If you've ever seen recipe dice, their set of Build Dice work similarly. One six-sided die suggests objects (houseware, vehicle, gift, etc.), one materials (fabric, wood, cardboard, etc.), and one, properties (low budget, extra big/extra small, etc.).

Besides the fun nature of the dice, and the projects they come up with, it's fun to watch two great friends cracking each other up over the most inane things. Gotta love a snort-laughing good time.

YouTube engineer and comedian Estefannie was afraid that her cat, Teddy Bear, was eating plastic. Fearing that she couldn't afford the expensive surgery, her doctor told her that she needed to monitor Teddy's stools to see if there were signs of plastic in it. This led to a ridiculous (and pretty hysterical) pseudo Rube Goldbergian… READ THE REST
XiaoQianFeng is one of my favorite YouTube makers. Her work is always jaw-dropping and her videos are produced in a super-chill, relaxed style that makes her builds look effortless. It's visual ASMR. In this video, Xiao puts together a "space warrior" costume for her brother using craft foam and super glue almost exclusively (except for… READ THE REST

And while your tasks at these various gigs may have been different, you likely used Microsoft's slew of apps and programs to get them done. After all, the Microsoft Office suite contains some of the most widely used in the professional sphere. But if you're still not super… READ THE REST
We think everyone can unanimously agree that, while nature can be absolutely stunning, there's danger afoot everywhere you walk. That's not to say you're primed for becoming a tasty bear snack every time you step out of your front door (unless you're a mountain person, in which case — yikes!), but emergencies happen. When all goes south,… READ THE REST
If you're in the market for a new laptop but are on a tight budget at the moment, don't fret. You can still find a quality notebook that's less expensive and works just as well as a brand-new laptop would. For example, this sleek, lightweight laptop from HP isn't your average laptop. It can flip and fold… READ THE REST
