Texas banned abortion and made a point of not studying the healthcare outcomes. ProPublica sifted through data on millions of hospitalizations of pregnant women and concludes that the outcomes are dire: maternal sepsis rates during the second trimester have gone from 2.9% to ...
When I hear the words 'cast iron,' I typically think about frying pans, and how I know I'm supposed to season them but never quite do it right. I've certainly never thought about the process involved with creating cast iron, and what exactly makes it unique or...

Passengers on an Allegiant Air flight to Florida were reportedly trapped on the plane for six hours as it sat on the tarmac in Albany, New York. Footage, captured by one of the stranded passengers on Monday, shows the stuck travelers milling around the plane while people...
