"Wow" Skills That Are Easy To Learn
Half the fun of life is picking up new talents, no matter how old you might be. Reddit user Wonderful_Low_1325 recently asked, "Which 'wow' skill is secretly super easy to learn?" Here's what's worth trying the next time you have a free moment: "Gardening. I can grow most of my staples really easily." "Parallel parking. I could teach you in 10 minutes." "How to build a fire properly. There are just a few things between 'I can't get it going' and 'Wow, you're a wizard.'" "Meditation. 10 minutes a day for a few weeks or months, and you will surely notice a lot of differences. Throw in 10 more minutes for some theory to deepen your understanding, and you will feel like you've learned a superpower in no time." "Origami. Once you learn the basic folds, a lot of origami is just a combination of basic folds." "Building Excel workbooks. You can learn pretty impressive and useful workbook skills in an afternoon of YouTube videos. I'm always surprised how many people use Excel to make lists or tables but don't actually utilize basic features to do anything with those lists or tables." "Touch typing. Not the easiest of them all, but very well perceived by others. Being able to look at someone whilst typing is a good way to impress them. Also, it makes your life much more efficient, and writing something becomes a breeze. I could never tell how much of an improvement it would be until I learned it." "Magic, especially card tricks. The hard part is entertaining people enough so they don't look at the setup." "Mental math. I'm not talking Einstein-level formulas flying through your head like that meme. I mean, if someone says something like, 'Hey, what's 11x34?' and you rattle off 374 without pulling out your calculator, they think you're a demigod or something. But there are lots of simple tricks, and once you learn the tricks, it's cake." "Opening a bottle with a lighter. I used to think it was a cool bar trick, now I open all my Jarritos this way." "Chess. It's a really good way to kill time, and for some reason, people think only geniuses play it. You don't even have to be that good. You could be a total novice, but to someone who doesn't know how to play, you'll seem smarter almost instantly. You can easily learn the moves and some basic strategies in an hour or two." "Knots." "Speed reading. Everyone thinks you're some kind of superhuman when you can flip through pages quickly, but it's mostly just training your eyes to stop saying every word in your head. It took me about a month to get decent at it." "Driving a manual/stick shift car. I learned everything from YouTube." "I learned how to make basic balloon animals and swords in a few hours, and now all the kids at family parties love me." "Basic clothes mending and altering. You don't even need a sewing machine for a lot of it. In the same vein, basic electronics repair — very often it's just a wobbly solder joint." "When you're a kid, how to solve a Rubik's Cube. It's a pattern of like seven different movements, and for some reason, everyone thinks you're a prodigy for doing it." "Flipping an omelette with just the pan." "You can learn like five chords on the guitar and play a bunch of songs." "Embroidery. You don't even need to come up with your designs, you can follow a stencil, and there are so many very, very simple stitches." "Baking. If you can learn to be precise, follow a recipe to the exact measurements, and be patient, you will bake some good stuff! Quality ingredients and cooking equipment also help." "Spinning yarn and crochet. The basics are pretty easy, and you get better and faster with practice. Plus, stuff that looks really complex is usually just the basics in various fancy configurations." "Opening an egg one-handed." "Balancing things on your fingertips. The key is to look at the very top of the object." "Juggling three balls. Looks impressive, but you can learn it in a weekend." "Changing a tire." "For me, it was lock picking. I was always impressed by it, and then I learned it and realized how really insecure most padlocks are." And finally, "Cooking. Easiest and also most essential for your survival." What's a "wow" skill that's easy to learn? Share your thoughts in the comments or using the anonymous form below.

Old Fourth Ward embraces new Tex-Mex spot from Poco Loco chef
Communidad Taqueria, the eagerly anticipated Old Fourth Ward restaurant from Poco Loco chef and owner Nick Melvin, is open. And it is delightful. Why it matters: The Tex-Mex spot fills the longtime Highland Bakery space with a relaxed, sit-down option for residents and people walking the Beltline or Freedom Park trail. What to expect: You'll need return visits to sample all the brisket mole, carne asada and other tacos, most of which are named after country music legends. Breakfast tacos are available all day. Chilaquiles, burritos, soups and salads round out the menu. Zoom in: Vegetarian dishes — cauliflower chorizo chilaquiles and roasted poblano and corn burritos — aren't afterthoughts. Teresa Finney's celebrated At Heart Panaderia bakes the fresh sopapillas, conchas and other Latin pastries. Context: Order at the counter, find a table inside or outside, or take a seat at the bar. If it's packed, order to go and walk on the Freedom Park Trail. State of play: Melvin told Axios the restaurant is waiting on its alcohol license. In the meantime, there are plenty of Jarritos, Bawi and other drinks to enjoy. The bottom line: Communidad proved popular out of the gate, so allow the team some patience as they fine-tune their flow.

The exhibition will also feature never-before-seen photographs capturing the intimate essence of the Kahlo family. Immerse yourself in the personal and artistic world of this Mexican icon through these unique images. "It is a great honor to share a part of our heritage, of our family's story, with the world," said Mara Romeo Kahlo, Frida Kahlo's great-niece. "We believe that the kitchen is the heart of a home, and we are bringing a gastronomic art book and period pieces to share Frida in a very simple, everyday, and fun way…" Enhancing the experience further, we will showcase ten monumental "Fridas," each reimagined by talented contemporary Mexican artists. These stunning works of art pay homage to the enduring influence of Frida Kahlo in the art world, highlighting her legacy in bold and original ways. The "Paint Your Frida" workshops will offer families and children the chance to express their creativity and inspiration by painting miniature replicas of the monumental sculptures on display—an engaging and artistic hands-on activity.
