Today’s Issue Is Brought To You By…

Where to Find the Best Deals on Hoka Shoes

Are you a runner? More specifically, a road runner? Hoka was built for that. Meaning “to fly” in Maori, Hoka was founded in 2009 so that runners could get the ultimate experience with optimum cushioning and stability. Less than 15 years after its founding, Hoka is bringing in revenues topping a billion dollars a year, so it’s clear that people are loving this brand. But with quality comes high prices, and Hoka is no doubt in the high end price-wise. So we’ve rounded up the best stores to find the best deals for Hoka.

461. Undo Sent Emails

Did you know you can set a 30 second “undo” time in your Gmail account.

Go to settings, scroll down to “Undo Send” and change it from 5 to 30 seconds.

You’ll now have 30 seconds to cancel or edit any email.

462. Check For Power Outages

If your house or apartment suddenly loses power, the best way is to obviously look outside, but if you don’t have a view of other houses, you can simply check the surrounding WiFi networks.

These will all go down when the power does, and therefore if none are showing up, it means you’re not the only one without power.

463. No More Stringy Bananas

Ever wonder what those little stringy bits on a banana are?

They’re called "Phloem bundles,” and they’re actually part of the banana peel, NOT the banana.

You can easily remove them by peeling the banana from the bottom.
