A Flying Car Has Been Approved For Take Off

Well folks... I think we've officially entered the future. There have been many incredible technological advances in the twenty-first century thus far. This one might just take the cake.

Several different companies have been trying to create a flying car for a good while. One of these companies is Samson Sky, and one of those aircraft/car combos is the Switchblade. The Switchblade is a project that has been in the making for 14 years. According to The Hill, The Switchblade "could be just weeks away from getting its wheels off the ground after a Federal Aviation Administration inspection on July 15 determined it’s safe to fly." The Samson Sky team wasted no time following their greenlight from the FAA. The Switchblade was out on the runway starting high-speed taxi tests the very next day.

From the sound of it, we could all be living our Back to the Future fantasy not to far down the road. Which would be EPIC. People have already started lining up for Switchblades, with 1,670 individuals making their no-cost reservation. However, those that make a reservation will have to make a $2,000 deposit within 45 days of the first public flight. So if you're one of those 1,670, get ready to cough it up.

I can't imagine these things being affordable anytime in the near future. I also have so many unanswered questions. Are more airports going to have to be built once aircraft automobiles hit the market? How do you ensure one of these? I'm sure I'll get my answers in due time, because I think the Switchblade, as well as the many other flying cars in the works, are here to stay. Hello future!

If you’re single and living in Las Vegas, it might not be the best city to live in…especially if you’re looking to hook-up with other singles! You would think with the night life, pool parties during the summer and all that there is to do on a weekend, Las Vegas would be a great place to live if you were single!

You also might want to consider if you’re on a budget, there are things to do for everyone depending on your current financial situation. From dining out, concerts, shows up and down the strip to taking in the great outdoors...hiking, spending the day on the lake and so much more!

Not to mention, Las Vegas now has major league sports in the Vegas Golden Knights of the NHL and the Las Vegas Raiders of the NFL. Talks of a Major League Baseball team are in the works and that’s only a matter of time.

Well, if you did research and considered all those elements, you would think Las Vegas would come in at least in the Top 5! Nope!

Actually, Zillow recently did some research on 100 of the biggest cities in America to find which ones were the best to live in if you were single.

It was based on three simple factors: How many other single people there are, how expensive the rent is and how many apartments are available for single people.
Considering just those three factors, it’s no wonder Las Vegas didn’t make the Top 10! If you look at just the Top 5, I guess they have their own “single” appeal, however, given the choice, I’ll take Las Vegas over any of these cities.

Scroll down below to see what cities made the Top 5 on this list and if you have any doubt about our great city of Las Vegas…you might want to start packing the bags!

We know this city is famous for the Alamo, the River Walk and even the Spurs of the NBA, but it also offers enough to singles to place it #5 on the list of best places to live if your single!

Besides the great outdoors, the Rocky Mountains, this Mile City clearly offers much more to those on their own when looking to make the big move...so much so, Denver ranks #4 on the list of best places to live for singles!

The home of "Happy Days" and of course, "Laverne & Shirley", this Midwest city pops up as one of the best cities to live in not just because of the beer and cheese...there is so much more to Milwaukee than we realized! With everything considered, it comes in at #3 on the best cities to live in if your single!

Texas has a couple of cities in the Top 5 when it comes to living single! Austin is right in the heart of Texas, home of the University of Texas and a great city for live music! With all that it has to offer, no wonder this city came in at #2 on the list of the best cities to live in if you're single!

Clearly there is something about this Great Plains city that no one else knows about when it comes to living single! Well, if you are single, maybe you should do the "deep dive" and find out what makes this city #1 on the list! And there ya go!

The Renaissance has begun. Beyoncé's seventh studio album, Renaissance, arrived today (July 29) and it is unsurprisingly the top trending topic on Twitter.

The 28-time Grammy winner made Renaissance her first dance project. The 16-track LP which is the first installment of a three act project and led by her record-breaking single "Break My Soul," has contributions from Jay-Z, Drake, Tems, The-Dream, 070 Shake, Skrillex, and more. Only two of the 16 songs on the project have guest vocalists: reggae artist Beam appears on “Energy,” while Grace Jones and Tems lend their voices to “Move.”

"Creating this album allowed me a place to dream and to find escape during a scary time for the world," Beyoncé wrote. "It allowed me to feel free and adventurous in a time when little else was moving," she expressed. "My intention was to create a safe place, a place without judgment. A place to be free of perfectionism and overthinking. A place to scream, release, feel freedom. It was a beautiful journey of exploration."

The official release of Renaissance comes two days after the album was leaked prematurely. Beyoncé addressed the release in a new statement: "So, the album leaked, and you all actually waited until the proper release time so you call can enjoy it together. I've never seen anything like it. I can't think y'all enough for your love and protection. I appreciate you calling out anyone that was trying to sneak it in the club early. Thank you for your unwavering support. Thank you for being patient. We are going to take our time and enjoy the music. I will continue to give my all and do my best to bring you joy. I love you deep."

Take a look at how fans on Twitter are reacting to Beyoncé's Renaissance:

James Fridman is a British graphic designer known for taking requests on Twitter for alterations to photographs, but takes the specifications too literally, always resulting in a hilarious result. As his bio states: "Do not submit any personal photos that you do not want to be made public."

Fridman has delivered some of the best photo-editing “fails” of all time. Take a look below at 30 of our favorites!
