I love my apartment, but I have one-sided beef with my kitchen ceiling light. As a renter, the landlord-decreed overhead light — aka a “boob light,” sconce, flush mount; a jezebel by any other name would still look as tacky — is just one those things that we, as the renting serfdom, have had to…
Nope, NOT 20 m/s. To them the ball is moving at 30 m/s (i.e., 10 + 20). So much for common sense. The difference arises from the fact that they are measuring from different “reference frames,” one moving, the other stationary. It’s all good, though; everyone agrees on the outcome. If the ball hits the…
If you live in an apartment with a ventilation system that’s as weird as mine, you’re no stranger to the blaring siren of your smoke alarm. I don’t know about your place, but the smoke detector in my apartment can detect the faintest whiff of char arising from a burger or steak that I’m trying…
The industry is finding a willing partner in the Trump administration. Since taking office, Trump has used AI as a lever to open up opportunities for fossil fuels, including a well-publicized effort to resuscitate coal in the name of more computing power. The summit, which was organized by Republican senator (and former hedge fund CEO)…
A hill I will die on is that mint chocolate chip ice cream doesn’t hit right when it’s not green. And by green, I don’t mean the sickly tinge of ice cream infused with mint leaves au naturel, whose relationship to color is like La Croix’s relationship to flavor (a whisper at best). I desire…
Humans, of course, are known for our hubris, doomed to be struck down by the Gods. This, perhaps, is why a new brand seeks to disrupt Uncrustables’ ubiquity in the “sealed crustless sandwich” space. Jams is a professional athlete-backed Uncrustables dupe that’s now in the process of hitting Walmart stores across the country, as CNBC…
I don’t really believe in fried rice recipes. To me, fried rice is meant to be an empty canvas filled with an unorthodox hodgepodge of whatever weird leftovers can be found in the fridge or pantry. Half a cabbage? Sure! An especially ripe jar of kimchi? Excellent! A can of tuna? Why not! But when…
Ice is a key component in the universe. There are frozen water molecules on comets, moons, exoplanets, and in your drink as you cool off from the summer heat. However, under the microscope, not all ice is the same, even though it is made of the same components. The internal structure of Earth’s ice is…
On July 2, NASA revealed the existence of 3I/ATLAS, only the third ever interstellar object observed in the universe. These are objects that exist in interstellar space—the areas between stars—and which are not gravitationally bound to any star. The two other interstellar objects discovered to date are the comets 1I/ʻOumuamua and 2I/Borisov. 3I/ATLAS was discovered…
Dance like no one’s watching — because they aren’t! Professional dancer Katia Pryce has taught Kate Hudson, Kelly Ripa, Madonna, Molly Sims, and more celebs her signature training technique, and regardless of your star status — or athletic background — everyone is welcome at her studios in New York, Florida, and California. “Most people don’t…
