Celebrations,
Troy Warren for CNT #Celebrations   NATIONAL MOTORCYCLE RIDE DAY National Motorcycle Ride Day on the second Saturday in October encourages all motorcyclists in the USA and the world to get out on their motorcycles for a united day of riding.

Foodie, , ,
By Mike Pomranz | FoodAndWine.Com Troy Warren for CNT #Foodie BK says they are "the first global quick-service restaurant brand" to serve the new chicken nuggets made from plants. No offense to White Castle, which was the first fast food chain to add the Impossible Burger nationwide, but Burger King's willingness to cosign Impossible Foods' plant-based meat for their Impossible Whopper really solidified Impossible's status. (According to QSR Magazine, Burger King is America's sixth largest fast food chain while White Castle is 49th.)

Alexa routines can be overwhelming, but these 4 shortcuts make them a breeze

Technology
Dale Smith | CNET.Com Troy Warren for CNT #Technology Setting up a routine doesn't have to be any harder than simply typing in a command. Admit it. You're curious about Alexa routines. Maybe your friends or family sometimes show off their own home-brewed Alexa automations, but every time you try to concoct your own script of smart home sorcery, it blows up in your face. The unfortunate and unspoken reality is that smart home routines can be cumbersome and frustrating to set up, so most people choose to live without them.
