No better time capsule exists than ads for old technology to show you exactly how far humanity has come. These vintage tech ads shill obsolete technology that was, at one point, not only top-of-the-line, it was considered a bargain. The concept of paying $200+ for a calculator makes little sense when you consider the touch-screen in your pocket can do that, call you a taxi, and take a photo all at the same time. Ads for old technology highlight the major shifts in technology...

As Edmontonians lined up to buy legal cannabis from retail stores on Wednesday, Elina Childs saw a business opportunity. The nine-year-old Girl Guide and her father showed up at Nova Cannabis just south of Whyte Avenue, pulling a wagon filled with top-shelf munchies: sandwich cookies and mint thins. She sold all 30 boxes in less than 45 minutes, earning $120 for Girl Guides.

Rising US star Issa Rae held her hand up Wednesday to sexualising men in her hit television series "Insecure", saying it was time for the "female gaze" to have its day. The African-American writer and producer, who first broke through playing herself in the cult YouTube series "Awkward Black Girl", admitted she was all for the camera lingering longer on the glories of the naked male.

Snow shoveling isn't fun, but it's often unavoidable. In areas where snow is no stranger, it's ill-advised to allow even the most meager snowfall to go unshoveled in your driveway, lest it later melt and refreeze. The resulting sheet of ice becomes a slipping hazard. And while, yes, you can apply ice-melt products to it after the fact, why waste the money?

The odds of seeing a deer are pretty high if you live close to a forest. Just in my own neighborhood the other day, I saw one roaming around in a neighbor’s backyard. A lot of people find deer to be a nuisance, claiming that the animals ruin their backyards by stomping on their plants and eating their grass and flowers. Having said that, I think this story might melt even the coldest of hearts and can potentially make all angry backyard owners rethink their perceptions of deer.

It's always exciting when you see the Google Maps car drive past you on the street.  Maybe you'll be able to spot yourself on street view afterwards. We doubt that was the case for this Peruvian woman, who has since become a divorcee after being seen cuddling up to another man on Google Street View. This took place way back in 2013 at Puente de los Suspiros de Barranco in Lima, Peru.

One day, you may stumble onto a dairy farm or into a goat yoga class, and ask yourself one of life's important questions: What's the best way to befriend a goat? As is the case with human relationships, flashing a smile is a good place to start. A new paper published in Royal Society Open Science suggests that goats not only recognize happy human facial expressions, they're also drawn to them.

A 22-pound rock that has been propping open a door in Michigan for decades turns out to be a meteorite valued at $100,000, according to Central Michigan University. Mona Sirbescu, a CMU geology professor, gets asked all the time by people to examine the rocks they bring her -- but none ever turn out to be an official space rock. "For 18 years, the answer has been categorically 'no' -- meteor wrongs, not meteorites," Sibescu said in a statement from CMU on Thursday.

Two years ago, Emily Turner quit her job as a U.S. Housing and Urban Development attorney to open a grilled cheese restaurant. Turner, who worked on prisoner reentry, housing segregation, and fair housing, was frustrated about not feeling like part of the solution. The restaurant was a new way to fight for justice: To get a job at the nonprofit restaurant, you need a criminal record. On Mondays, when the restaurant closes, employees take classes in entrepreneurship and law.

A Montreal man was cleaning out his wardrobe and readying some clothes for donation when he found a forgotten lottery ticket hidden in an old jacket — a ticket worth $1.75 million. Gregorio De Santis hadn't planned on cleaning out the wardrobe, but said his sister encouraged him to get the job done.

Readers around the world cooed last month when a Welsh bookseller announced he was giving away his shop to a regular customer. It was a lovely story, but as an ex-bookseller of five years, I could only dwell on the harsh realities this unsuspecting man would inherit: slow days, stocktaking and, unavoidably, a few regular oddballs.

Delta Air Lines played some slow jams when landing at LAX, and rapper T-Pain argued on Twitter that the musical selection needed improvement. According to People, T-Pain posted the following on Twitter: “@Delta we gotta change these boarding/taxiing songs more often guys,” he wrote. “All of Us Million milers (quick brag) have to hear these same joints multiple times a day. I gotta go perform in the Staples Center in a minute and Adele just put me in the weirdest mood. Now I’m crying. Thanx.”

After a string of branding and user interface updates to Uber’s mobile application, the companies CEO, Dara Khosrowshahi, has excitedly announced a new service option titled “Drive yourself” which is available to all users, today. This new option will be the lowest priced method of traveling with Uber, beating out the “Express Pool” feature released earlier this year

I’m a Millennial. I have a Generation Alpha daughter. As such, I am partly responsible (that is to blame) for both the way Generation Alpha is going to turn out, and for the future world Generation Alpha is going to inherit. That is a mildly terrifying thought. Especially when I stop to think about the ways my generation is already screwing things up for our little Generation Alphas.

Healthy production of tomatoes in Denmark, boosted by this year’s warm summer, has not been allowed to go to waste by a producer in Odense.

When lawmakers passed a law six years ago allowing microbreweries to serve their products in-house and sell more beer to go, they hoped to give New Jersey’s fledgling craft beer industry a boost. But microbreweries in the state have now become too active in the eyes of some, prompting the state to crack down on the number of events they can host each year.

If you thought the weirdest celebrity political news you’d read this week was Taylor Swift endorsing Democratic candidates and possibly causing a sudden dramatic spike in voter registration, Kanye West saying “motherfucker” during a 10-minute stream-of-consciousness speech in the Oval Office, or Kid Rock standing beside the president of the United States as he signed new legislation, think again.

The first time John Turmel ran in an election, it was 1979 and his primary aim was to legalise gambling. While his door-knocking efforts earned him just 193 votes, the race marked the start of an obsession that would eventually launch the Canadian into the record books for having contested, and lost, the highest number of elections in the world.

Belinda Bingham was lying on the floor with blood streaming from her throat when husband Neil turned around from baiting his line. A 10-kilogram, metre-long mackerel had launched itself from the ocean, at a height of more than a metre and a half, and cut her throat. "It sure had some momentum. It just knocked me off my feet. [I] didn't see it coming, didn't see a thing," Mrs Bingham said.

Red Lobster, bras, top sheets, sleeping with clothes and now ... divorce. Millennials get blamed for "killing" many trends, and the latest example might mean everyone's favorite generation to hate is in it for the long haul after tying the knot, according to a new study. University of Maryland professor Philip Cohen found that from 2008 to 2016, the U.S. divorce rate dropped by 18 percent. What's causing this downward trend? "The overall drop has been driven entirely by younger women," Cohen writes.

American Animals, a film recounting the true story of a 2004 rare book theft, was recently released in cinemas. The film is a dramatic retelling of events based on director Bart Layton’s interviews and written correspondence with the convicted book thieves – interactions which began while the thieves were serving seven-year prison sentences following their guilty pleas.

The buyer of the Banksy print that was partially shredded immediately after its auction will go ahead with the £1m purchase amid claims that its value will have significantly increased following the self-destruction.

The Canton Repository said the loss prevention manager received a tip that the employee had been nibbling on the meat at the deli, eating three to five slices of ham every day over a course of eight years. She also ate salami.

Geoffrey Owens says the Bill Cosby scandal was just one of the factors that led him to search for work outside of his industry, including bagging groceries at Trader Joe’s. Owens, 57, had been receiving royalties from The Cosby Show for years. But when Cosby, 81, was accused and later convicted of sexual assault, reruns were pulled from syndications, and the checks stopped coming.

Consider two familiar moments at a family reunion. Our host, Uncle Bill, is taking pride in his barbequing skills. But his niece Becky says that she now refuses to eat meat. A groan goes round the table; the family mostly think of this as an annoying picky preference. But if it were viewed as a moral position rather than personal preference – as they might if instead Becky were avoiding meat on religious grounds – it would usually receive a very different reaction.

One of the world’s largest flowers, known as the “corpse flower”, will bloom at the Toronto Zoo – a first for the zoo and the city. The corpse flower, officially titled Amorphophallus titanum, has been recorded as having the world’s tallest bloom.

Sharky's Lounge in Harrison Township is losing its liquor license at the end of the business day today. The Ohio Liquor Control Commission revoked the adult entertainment club's license, according to the Ohio Investigative Unit.

During the investigation, agents say they were able to buy drugs and lap dances by using food stamps. During the five-month long investigation, agents exchanged more than $2,000 worth of food stamps to...
