The U.S. is in a race to cram in as much unhinged weather as possible before the year ends. The latest addition to the trophy case: bone-chilling cold in the Northern Rockies and Midwest, where wind chill values could reach minus-50 degrees Fahrenheit (minus-46 degrees Celsius) over the next two days, with the freeze…
Even with millions of people enjoying incredibly popular titles like Fortnite or League of Legends, it’s hard to imagine games played by more people than Microsoft’s Solitaire and Minesweeper—the latter of which is finally enjoyable for folks who still have no idea how to actually play it with Tim Holman’s One Square…
An AP investigation found that despite new Department of Defense guidelines on extremism, racism and discrimination remain an ongoing concern in the military.
Not even his wife or daughter knew until Thomas Randele told them in what authorities described as a deathbed confession.
It’s hard to consider a product mainstream when there are only two or three people selling a small number of them. For foldable phones and tablets to really be accepted as the future of mobile, they have to be more accessible in design, availability, and price. Those are the goalposts that OPPO tried to hit with the company’s first foldable … Continue reading

Announcing a vehicle is one thing, actually following through and building that vehicle at a factory and then selling it, that’s an almost impossible feat for a new company. But like Tesla before it, Rivian has pulled it off and in doing so has built one of the best trucks on the road today, EV or otherwise.
The all-electric Rivian R1T starts at wallet-busting $67,500, but for that money, owners will get the latest technology out there in a truck that’s at home on the highway, around town, and crawling over rocks, and navigating muddy trails. We put one to the test in the rain in Northern California.
Just when you thought tape dispensing couldn’t get any more exciting, Amazeko has released this Clapping Monkey Tape Dispenser. Available on Amazon (affiliate link), the monkey happily claps his cymbals whenever you pull on the tape. Obviously, this is going to make wrapping presents in secret a bit more challenging.
The tape dispenser features a non-slip weighted banana base so it stays put while in use, and takes regular 1-inch core tape rolls like 3M or Scotch, up to 3/4″ in width. Considering all my work is performed digitally, I’ve got no real reason to have a tape dispenser on my desk at work. Well, besides taping ‘KICK ME’ signs to the backs of coworkers and getting written up by HR, but I think we can all agree that’s reason enough. Please don’t fire me, the monkey was egging me on with all his clapping!
I just showed it to my wife in my Amazon cart but she quickly looked away with an “Absolutely not,” and now I regret showing her in the first place. In the past, I’ve found it’s best to order things like and schedule delivery to make sure they arrive on days when she’s at work, but I thought she’d actually think this was cute. Oh well, she works on Friday.

As climate change continues to affect weather patterns, the odds of having snow for the holidays in some parts of the world have considerably decreased. Sean Hodgins came up with a solution to a lack of snow with a snow globe that generates its own. But unfortunately, the contraption is problematically power-hungry.
