Celebrate National Boone Day, Chocolate Ice Cream, VCR, and Oklahoma Day (46th state on November 16, 1907.)
National Boone Day, observed each year on June 7th, commemorates the day frontiersman Daniel Boone (November 2, 1734 – September 26, 1820) first began exploring the valleys and forests of the present-day Bluegrass State of Kentucky on June 7, 1769. Boone founded the village of Boonesborough, Kentucky, which is one of the first American settlements west of the Appalachians.
Daniel Boone, an American pioneer, explorer, and frontiersman, was born on November 2, 1734. His frontier exploits made him one of the United States’ first folk heroes. By the end of the 18th century, following the route marked by Boone, more than 200,000 European people had migrated to Kentucky/Virginia.

This hack would have been good to know about a year ago. Someone on TikTok figured out how to unlock your phone without taking your mask off. Here's what to do
1. Go into your iPhone settings and click "Face ID & Passcode." Then find the option that says, "Set Up an Alternate Appearance."
2. It'll start scanning your face. And you need to start without your mask on. Otherwise, it'll realize your face is obstructed and give you an error message.
3. Put your mask on while it's scanning, and you should be able to beat that feature. And then repeat the process a second time. Then it should recognize you even with your mask on.
The "Alternate Appearance" feature is also good if you want someone else to be able to unlock your phone with their face, like your kid or significant other.

Some idiot went on a ridiculous crime spree near Tampa early Sunday morning.
His full name is Lawrence Franklin King Florida. So it happened in Florida, and his last name is also "Florida." He looks like he's in his late 20s. And in the course of one night, he broke into at least seven different businesses.
First, he got into a seafood restaurant and stole all the White Claws from their fridge before throwing them in a retention pond out back.
After that, he went to a barbershop a few blocks away and stole a set of clippers, then broke into another barbershop nearby and stole five more sets of clippers.
Once he had enough of those, he broke into a carpet store and then a café, where he took $800 in cash. He also broke into a vet's office, and then a separate business called Little Cat Rescue, where he stole a bunch of pain meds meant for animals.
He finally went home around 5:30 in the morning. But before he was done, he stole his neighbor's Ring camera off their door. So they got an alert about it and called the cops.
He eventually admitted to breaking into all of the businesses, and walked cops through how he did it. He's facing multiple charges.

These researchers could have just stuck with the term "road rage" because this new term seems needlessly sexual: According to psychologists at the University of Houston, if you get angry behind the wheel a lot, you may be experiencing "accelerousal."
In psychology, "arousal" is anything that causes stress, so it's not necessarily sexual. And they think "accelerousal" might be genetic. So your parents might be the reason you're "acceleroused."
People who experience it deal with about 50% more stress than drivers who don't. And even small things can trigger accelerousal . . . like having to hit the brakes for a red light.

The makers of DiGiorno frozen pizzas, celebrated National Cheese Day and Donut Day this past Friday by giving away 10 boxes of pizza-donut hybrids called "DiGiornuts."
They're exactly what they sound like donuts filled with mozzarella cheese, and then topped with pizza sauce and more cheese. And one of them also appears to have shredded pepperoni on top.
