A Letter To the Dallas Cowboys: You Broke My Heart
I will be using these quotes to speak directly to the team that has us all in our feelings, the Dallas Cowboys. I'm talking to you, Dallas Cowboys. Whether anyone wants to acknowledge it anymore after another early playoff exit, the 2023 version of the Dallas Cowboys was one of the best regular season teams to ever play. I'm mourning the death of the 2023 Dallas Cowboys, gone too soon. But soon we will be talking about the 2024 Dallas Cowboys as we impatiently wait for September so we can watch you take the field for another Super Bowl hopeful season.

Concrete made stronger by adding coffee grounds, scientists find
Scientists in Australia have discovered a new technique for making concrete almost 30 per cent stronger. And while it’s not clear if they were up all night working on the problem, the solution does involve coffee grounds. Researchers at RMIT University (formerly the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology) note that the decomposition of organic waste in landfills produces methane gas, a contributor to global warming. “Spent coffee grounds (SCG) are one type of organic waste that makes up a significant proportion of the organic waste going to landfills,” they write in their paper. The paper, “Transforming spent coffee grounds into a valuable resource for the enhancement of concrete strength,” was published recently in the Journal of Cleaner Production .
