The folks at Comcast added BYOD to their mobile brand Xfinity Mobile this week. BYOD means Bring Your Own Device, and it means the brand is no longer limited to mobile data coverage for the devices they, themselves, physically sell in-store. It does NOT mean, however, that any device will work with Xfinity Mobile. Instead, there’s an expanding list. The … Continue reading
Tesla is making some changes to its product lineup today, dropping some vehicles and tweaking prices for others. If you were considering buying a standard-range Model S or Model X, then this is bad news, as Tesla has dropped both vehicles from its product lineup. That leaves the long-range and performance models as the only available Model S and Model … Continue reading
That’s right, there’ll soon be “T-MoBell” stores in an area near you. It’s not immediately clear whether people will ever literally see co-branded stores that have full services from either T-Mobile or Taco Bell, but for now, they’ll appear on the same sort of ticket: “Smartphones + Tacos” in time for the Super Bowl. Is it just me, or does … Continue reading
Microsoft Office. Do people still use Microsoft Office? People with kids and school projects maybe? Anyway, if you still use Office, you can buy a year’s subscription to Office 365 Home (with licenses for up to six people) for its usual $100 today, and Amazon will toss in a $50 gift card. The deal is only available…
Amid renewed interest in UFOs following a series of articles detailing strange sightings by U.S. military pilots—and recognitions of those concerns by the Navy—over 1.2 million have signed up for a “Storm Area 51, They Can’t Stop All of Us” Facebook event slated for Sept. 20, 2019. Attendees are asked to breach…
Conspiracy theories about the Moon landing have been around for years. Decades, in fact. And while it’s easier than ever to spread false stories thanks to the internet, the belief that humans never landed on the Moon is way older than the web.
Daniel Pantaleo will not face federal civil rights charges in a death that prompted a national outcry.
The Dem 2020 candidate’s revolt against Pelosi made some of the same criticisms she now endures from a broader audience.
Tardigrades are one of the strangest creatures known to exist. These microscopic organisms – also known lovingly as “water bears” are best known for their incredible ability to survive just about anything. Apparently, they can survive extreme temperatures, complete dehydration, and even the vacuum of space. How scientists have tested these capabilities, I don’t know, but what I do know is that tardigrades are awesome. Or at least Star Trek: Discovery told me so.
Knowing that tardigrades can take whatever you can dish out, it only makes sense to turn one into a squishy stress relief toy.
In fact, Archie McPhee’s Stress Tardigrade is labeled “extra squishy,” something I’d like to see on more product packaging. Basically, it’s a 4-1/2″ long foam model of the impervious little critter designed to help keep you from going postal at the office. I only ask that for every time that you squeeze him, poke him, or prod him, that you give him a little pet on the back or a tickle under the chin. After all, he’s absorbing all of your stress, and he doesn’t have to do that.
And now, sit back, relax, and watch the wonder of the Stress Tardigrade as he works his magic:
If you need a tardigrade to take away your stress, you can grab one over at Archie McPhee now for $7.50.
