There’s almost nothing more cliche than a New Years’ diet, but year after year we embark on these fool’s errands as if they’re going to do us any good. The truth is, most people abandon diets after a week — if they even make it a week. So why do we do it? A new…

Watch Airbus Fly New A350s Like Fighter Jets
I’m not much of an aviation geek, but watching this Airbus video gave me chills.
