A restaurant in West Hollywood will make history when it opens next month as the first in America to have cannabis on the menu.  Recreational marijuana was legalised in California in 2016 and since then the weed business has been developing to allow entrepreneurs to take advantage of the new law. Though it’s still illegal to smoke weed in public in California, the city of West Hollywood has come up with a new way to utilize recreational weed by creating a licensing process to allow cannabis restaurants. Lowell Cafe, set to open on October 1, will be the first of these establishments to open its doors. Inside the restaurant, ‘budtenders’…

International design firm Carlo Ratti Associati has developed an experimental circular juice bar that uses orange peels to make deliciously fresh-squeezed juice but that’s not all. Using filament made from the leftover orange peels, the “Feel the Peel” machine then 3D prints disposable cups to drink the refreshing juice on the spot. The prototype juicer, which was designed in collaboration with global energy company Eni, is a 10-foot tall orange squeezer machine topped with a massive dome. The dome is comprised of several round racks that hold up to 1,500 oranges. The machine’s base is installed with a 3D printer. Once the order is placed for freshly squeezed juice, the innovative machine begins to work its magic. The…

Libra, a cardinal air sign represented by the scales, is a sign that values balance, justice, fairness, and kindness. Always considering all…

What does the future of camper vans look like? A German firm has unveiled a sleek concept vehicle that imagines van life in the year 2025. Hymer’s VisionVenture, which recently made its debut at a camping trade show held in Düsseldorf, Germany, is the result of a collaboration with engineering company BASF and features a design inspired by a luxury apartment. The VisionVenture concept is based on the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter — it retains the original doors, headlamps, and grille while the windshield has been moved forward and the A-pillar, engine hood and canopy have been redesigned. But while the compact quality of the Sprinter remains intact, the main “floor” of the van…

When languages evolve, it’s essential that scholars and dictionaries keep up. The internet has spawned a new crop of funny words for stuff, and while you may not like all of them, some of them are clever combos that seem like they might actually be useful! Many of these words come from urbandictionary.com, which is basically a dictionary of all new slang. Their site is probably the most complete dictionary of modern words, but it’s also chock-full of nonsense. Most of these words are portmanteaus, which are what you get when you mash both the sounds and meanings of two words together to get a new one. Did you know,…
