I’ve been gay and off-and-on single for too many years to count, so of course I’ve used every possible gay app under the sun. To help you avoid some of the many dating mistakes I’ve made, here’s an honest list of all the various gay dating & hookup apps that I’ve used – my personal experience and reviews of the best (and worst) gay apps.

A small reactor in Uppsala may hold the key to cutting the fertilizer industry’s massive carbon footprint—by harnessing the power of lightning. NitroCapt is a finalist for the 2025 Food Planet Prize. UPPSALA, Sweden – On a January morning in the Swedish university town of Uppsala, a group of scientists gathered in a laboratory within a modest cluster of buildings known as the Green Innovation Park and activated a small electromagnetic reactor. They watched through a window as the reactor, enclosed in a hermetically sealed room, began to heat up, cycling plasma and gases through an intricate system of tubes and…

Budget travelers love saving money — myself included. But one of the expenses that we shouldn’t be cheap with is travel insurance. After over 17 years of traveling the world, I still never leave home without it. Why? Because I’ve seen firsthand how useful it can be — and how much money it can save. I’ve lost baggage, had my camera broken, and even needed emergency medical help over the years. Travel insurance has been there for me each time. Not only has it saved me money but it’s provided me with peace of mind as I explore. I’ve written…

As our followers on Facebook already know, we are hiking the 2500-km-long Sultan’s Trail from Vienna to Istanbul. After Coen was diagnosed with stage 4 brain cancer last summer, we decided that the best remedy to pull ourselves together and reclaim our lives was to walk. Hence this big adventure. We’re doing this for ourselves – for our well-being and to celebrate life – and we are combining it with a fundraiser for research into this particular type of cancer: glioblastoma (GBM). We’d love for you to join us in both journeys: the hike and the fundraising, which we’re running through the…

By integrating traditional Balinese farming wisdom with modern agroecological practices, Astungkara Way works to promote food security, restore degraded farmland, and deepen connections between farmers and the land. BALI, Indonesia — For decades, conventional wisdom has held that organic farming cannot produce enough food to sustain the world’s growing population. Perhaps nowhere has this belief been more deeply entrenched than in South Asia, where high-profile failures—like Sri Lanka’s disastrous 2021 ban on synthetic fertilizers and pesticides—reinforce the fear that sustainability comes at the cost of food security. Yet, what if there were a way to grow food sustainably without sacrificing…

Transport yourself to a tropical paradise with these homemade Piña Colada Fruit Rolls! Bursting with the bright flavors of pineapple and coconut, these fruit leathers are a great way to enjoy the classic cocktail flavors in a portable snack form. Though, it should go without saying that these fruit leathers are non-alcoholic (even if you tried, the alcohol would evaporate away during the drying process). Making fruit leathers at home is surprisingly simple and allows you to control exactly what goes into your snacks. These homemade fruit roll-ups are made with real fruit: no artificial food coloring or texturizing agents. …

The Toothpick Company turns fungi into bioherbicide to fight Striga, a devastating “master weed” that has devastated an estimated 40 million farms in Africa. KAKAMEGA, Kenya— When Lillian Makokha’s farm revealed its curse, it came in the form of fuschia-purple flowers—a plant known as oluyongo or kayongo in western Kenya. These flowers have been around since Makokha was born, but recently they’ve far surpassed other pests and diseases in their destructiveness. In 2019, her 3.5-acre plot, which should have produced up to 25 90-kilogram bags of maize per acre, produced only six. It wasn’t enough to feed her eight-person household,…
