These are the most common ways to find a partner
“How did you meet?” The familiar question has historically been answered with romantic or quirky tales of mutual friends and chance encounters, all of which compel a chorus of oohs and aws. But, in recent times, those tales have taken a drastic turn—whether for better or worse remains unclear. For a very long time, likely since the very beginning of time, close friends and family have been the most prominent way to establish new connections with other people. From the end of World War II until 2013, most heterosexual Americans were still meeting their romantic partners through friends, family, school, work, and so forth. It seems, however, that those networks are becoming increasingly more irrelevant. According to a dataset analysis, the internet may have largely replaced friends and family as a way for couples to meet. Online dating is revolutionizing romance. We’ve looked extensively at how technology has changed the way we interact with others, but not as much at how it changes who we interact with. Particularly in the realm of romantic relationships, there’s a notable shift happening that affects many parts of dating. Check out this gallery to see how couples are meeting, and why meeting on the internet is so appealing.

Foods you didn’t know you could freeze
With our busy lives, we're constantly looking for ways to save time and money. There are a number of things we can do when it comes to saving time in the kitchen, and the freezer can be our best ally. Many of us are familiar with a wide range of foods that can be frozen. But despite this, most of us will have our freezer filled with meat, fish, some fruit and vegetables, ice cream, and pizza. While these are indeed great foods to keep frozen, there are plenty more we can keep at sub-zero temperatures. Oftentimes, leftovers end up in the trash, but many of the foods we throw away every day can actually have their shelf lives extended simply by freezing them. Some of us might be reluctant to freeze certain foods, either because we think they can only be eaten fresh, or simply because we don't know they can be frozen. Have you ever thought about freezing eggs or potato chips, for instance? How about milk or flour? In this gallery, you'll find a list of foods that can be frozen. As a bonus, we even throw in a few extra tips and hacks to make your life easier in the kitchen. Ready to save time and stop throwing food away? Click on!
