The EU isn’t asking. It is telling. Every new car sold there? Must link to a breathalyzer. If you’re drunk, the engine stays dead. Simple. Hardline. Safety first, obviously, though some might call it nanny state overreach.
Mandatory alcohol ignition interlocks. No negotiation.
Memorial Day Deals
Holiday weekend. You know the drill. Retailers slashing prices. The tech beat is quiet, but the gear picks are loud. Headphones? On sale. Power banks? Cheaper. Go get them. Or don’t. It’s your money.
Mattresses, too. Best time to buy them. Gravity and memory foam are waiting.
Our favorite Dysons? Discounted. Wish list checkmate. Don’t sleep on these prices—though sleeping is kind of the point with the mattress deal.
Gear Up
Topo Designs released the Rover Trail Pack. Denver’s gorpcore favorite strikes again. Unsurprising. They usually nail it. This bag does everything. Carries gear, looks decent, survives a hike. It’s the do-it-all you didn’t know you needed.
Speaking of bags, L.L.Bean’s heavy-duty tote remains untouchable. Thermoplastic lining. It handles wet muck, grocery runoff, existential dread. One bag to rule the messy days.
Outdoors folks, the season is coming. You need tools. Fourteen new ones showed up. Good timing. Prep now, sweat later.
Robots Feed the Neighborhood
San Francisco’s Tenderloin district. You might have heard. It’s tough. Volunteers? Drought. Meals? Essential. So a nonprofit turned to bots. Not soldiers. Kitchen workers. Robots are prepping food. Making up for the human shortfall. It feels weird. Efficient? Sure. Cold? Maybe. But people are eating. That’s what counts, right?
Small Wins & Big Physics
YouTube is better with add-ons. Browser extensions exist for that reason. Use them. Improve the scroll.
Garlic. Grandma was right. Not just about love and wisdom, but mosquitoes. It repels them. Blocks mating. Stops the breeding cycle. Science says thanks to diallyl disulfide. Eat a bulb if you hate bugs. Works, apparently.
Then there’s aeronautical engineering. The old rule: smoother surface, less drag. Basic. Textbook. Overturned. Smooth isn’t always fast. Nature rarely plays fair with textbook rules.
Space is full of surprises, too. “Impossible” black holes. Too big to come from star death, not huge enough to be supermassive. Scientists finally found their origin. The universe keeps breaking the math.
We keep trying to fix it with breathalyzers. See?
