Published 3 years ago

If you’ve been following the news lately, you’ve probably heard that the state of Texas has been hit by a wave of extreme cold, with temperatures dropping all the way down to single digits in some places. Texas hasn’t experience cold this severe since 1989, and naturally it caused a whole heap of problems for millions of Texans. And I’m not just talking about slippery sidewalks and driveways.

The recent winter storm not only caused massive power outages all over the state, but also caused water pipes to burst, damaging buildings and people’s belongings. According to The New York Times, as many as 23 people died due to storm-related injuries. See how the Texans dealt with the sudden winter storm in the gallery below!

One day, this guy just kind of figured - "I spend most of my time on the internet anyway, why not turn it into a profession?" - and he did! Now he not only gets to browse the latest cat videos and fresh memes every day but also shares them with people all over the world, making sure they stay up to date with everything that's trending on the web. Some things that always pique his interest are old technologies, literature and all sorts of odd vintage goodness. So if you find something that's too bizarre not to share, make sure to hit him up!

Got wisdom to pour?
