    I chose them over the M brand MS2 that’s so popular and used to be my favorite. I’m satisfied and will buy them again. Great wet weather traction that’s important to me and long life yet not as expensive as another big name. The rebate got me to try them. I’m glad I did. Over a year now on them and still lots of tread left. Got me to try the purecontact ls on the Accord and were happy with them as well. I guess I found my new brand.

      A year since your reply, still like them? I am curious if they might also be good performing off-road like the LTX M/S2.

    I just got these for my Subaru Forester. Let me tell you, that little eco box rides and drives like a Lexus! The grip is beautiful and they’re quiet. Worth every penny!

The Buried Treasure That Took Us To The Moon – They Never Told You

The Space Race, the Cold War, and the Moon Landing all have an origin story connected to a small, obscure silver iron mining operation in the mountains of Lower Saxony in Germany – and it’s such a complex, unbelievable tale that it exposes our most dangerous intersections of science and morality. 14 tons of buried…

The Space Race, the Cold War, and the Moon Landing all have an origin story connected to a small, obscure silver iron mining operation in the mountains of Lower Saxony in Germany – and it’s such a complex, unbelievable tale that it exposes our most dangerous intersections of science and morality.

14 tons of buried paper determined the fate of the world and kicked off humanity’s exploration of space.

We already know the end of the story: we know about Sputnik and Apollo 11, we know about Werner von Braun, and we know about Operation Paperclip. But pulling the threads of NASA and the Soviet Union’s Vostok program unravels an unknown World War II race between trucks and time, a struggle of secrets and survival, and a twist-filled tale of man, mind, and morality.

What you need to know is that story’s beginning – and if you don’t know it already, that’s because they never told you.

Planets As Animals – To Scale 3D Mass Comparison

If Earth is a labrador dog and Venus is a human child, then gas giants like Saturn and Jupiter must also match masses with their own animals… like an African forest elephant and a herd of 7 giraffes.

If Earth is a labrador dog and Venus is a human child, then gas giants like Saturn and Jupiter must also match masses with their own animals… like an African forest elephant and a herd of 7 giraffes.

You can understand the real scale of vast celestial bodies by comparing their relative sizes to animals on Earth that we’re familiar with — and then you can see them all in 360-degree 3D animation. We’ve paired the real scale of all the planets in our solar system to a range of small and large animals worldwide, like Pluto as a tiny black rat and Mercury as a kitten — and of course, the Sun, which by comparison to the planets has a scaled mass of 78 blue whales.

The cosmos is everywhere, all around us, all the time… it just depends on your perspective.

See you in the future!

Why Do We Put Holes In Our Head?

The $15,000 A.I. from 1983: Scraping, grinding, or drilling a hole through the thick, hard skull that evolution developed to protect our most sensitive contents might be one of humanity’s worst ideas — and also one of our best.

The $15,000 A.I. from 1983:

Scraping, grinding, or drilling a hole through the thick, hard skull that evolution developed to protect our most sensitive contents might be one of humanity’s worst ideas — and also one of our best.

We have no idea how it started, or why the first trepanner thought it would fix anything. We just know that nearly every civilization worldwide has been drilling holes in heads for at least 7,000 years. Sometimes it actually worked. Sometimes it… didn’t.

Unraveling the impossibly-complex story of trepanning exposes a deep conceptual understanding of the relationship between the brain and behavior. It reveals our desire to take drastic measures to preserve the lives of people who are important to us, whether their value is practical or emotional. And the development of trepanning from Neolithic peoples to the Greeks and Incas and modern trauma surgeons takes a winding road through horrors and genius.

Trepanning evolved alongside our understanding of biology, physics, and even consciousness, with both its tools and practices reflecting our increasing knowledge and our changing attitudes toward health and human life.

Skull jewelry. Headache cures. Experimental psychosurgery. A few people who just wanted to chill. It’s all trepanning.

And the most remarkable thing about this seemingly-crude phenomenon is how it not only persists, but that it might actually be an important part of our plan for tomorrow.

So sharpen an old rock, measure your brainbloodvolume, and grab a watermelon to practice on.

We’ll see you in the future.
