So we all know what the breath test is for drinking and driving, right? There’s the roadside test (or preliminary breath test – PBT) and then there’s the big boy Intoxilyzer (or Intoximeter, depending on how many news toys the local cops have) that you get down at the station to see if you’re actually [...]

While many sexually transmitted diseases/infections are curable — or at least treatable — they still cause a lot of pain, suffering, and embarrassment, and the more serious of them can and do take lives. We know this, right? Every sexually active adult is (or should be) aware of the risks of unprotected sex so they [...]

When we talk about things on the internet staying there forever, we don’t just mean the embarrassing pictures your mom put on Facebook or the MySpace-era emoticon disaster from a decade ago — we mean EVERYTHING. No matter what you delete, or how quickly you delete it, every single post, tweet, picture, Snap, and text [...]

Technology makes us all feel invincible in a weird sort of way, right? There’s a sense of control in being able to capture pretty much everything whenever you want — not to mention having the world’s information at your fingertips.

The need for speed can be swell indeed. Wind blowing through your hair, the adrenaline, the feeling of both power and danger in equal measure — going fast is fun! When we were kids, this high came in the form of races and go-carts, but we’ve got something a bit better now. Most of us [...]

It’s not too much to ask that police know what they’re talking about, right? Of course there are risks associated with their job, but surely they know the actual difference between fact and fiction — right? After all, they have the authority to put people behind bars and charge them with crimes, something that can [...]

The future is here, folks. We may not have flying cars and commercial teleportation, but the times are still a-changing at a rapid pace. Now, some cars can drive themselves (in theory)! Aside from sounding like something right out of science fiction, this new innovation is an exciting and welcome development for all people who, [...]
