Guardian: Men with long hair – the derision and glory in 1964
Long-haired life wasn’t easy: you were regarded with suspicion by the police, gawped at by tourists and rejected by employers. ‘You go for an interview with, say, 12in of hair and, no matter how capable you might be, they just ask you to leave,’ complained one; another recommended wearing a hat.
Thank goodness we’re over such shallow judgements. 🙄

Wired: Klaris Clear Ice Maker Review: A Worthy Investment to Up Your Home Bartending Game
TYPICALLY, IF ICE makes your drink cold, we’re good to go. But some bartenders will tell you that it’s arguably the most important element of creating a perfect cocktail. Whether for shaking, stirring, or the final product, clear rocks of ice will elevate a cocktail compared with standard ice made in your freezer.
The Klaris Clear Ice Maker simplifies the process of making craft ice in your own home. It makes four clear ice cubes, each 2 x 2 inches, in less than 12 hours. If that sounds ridiculous to you, then it’s probably not for you. But given how tedious and time-consuming making clear ice is otherwise, this is a great product for the home bartender.
It’s probably not for us.
Wikipedia: Grant Study
The Grant Study is an 85-year continuing longitudinal study from the Study of Adult Development at Harvard Medical School, started in 1938. It has followed 268 Harvard-educated men, the majority of whom were members of the undergraduate classes of 1942, 1943 and 1944. It has run in tandem with a study called “The Glueck Study,” which included a second cohort of 456 disadvantaged, non-delinquent inner-city youths who grew up in Boston neighborhoods between 1940 and 1945. The subjects were all white males and of American nationality. As of 2024, the men continue to be studied. They were evaluated at least every two years by questionnaires through information from their physicians and by personal interviews. Information was gathered about their mental and physical health, career enjoyment, retirement experience and marital quality. The goal of the study was to identify predictors of healthy aging.
SMH: How Flat-Pack Homes Could Help Solve the Housing Crisis
The hi-tech process was designed in Japan and, together with computers and equipment sent to SHAWOOD’s single factory in Australia, in Ingleburn, it’s producing homes according to designs created here and sent back to Japan to be translated into digital blueprints.
In the factory, these guide the machinery to cut beams and posts exactly to size, giving each a code, and then directing the workers on how to assemble some into roof trusses and wall frames before taking them, carefully wrapped in waterproof plastic, to site.
