This makes this CPU Intels fastest gaming chip currently available. The upcomingRazer Blade Studio 15 Edition and 17 Pro Studio Edition laptopswill both run on these new cards. Its a weird and innovative design that turns ATX motherboard conventions on its head. First, and wildest of all, are two portable monitors from Asus Republic of Gamers line....

I have eaten a lot of veggie burgers in my day. So I get why products like theImpossible Burgerand theBeyond Burgerneed to exist. Were living in a world where were eating more meat than can be sustainably produced. (I am deliberately avoidingPollans new stuffbecause I dont want to be tempted tomicrodose.) But,and most importantly, were living in a world where hamburgers are delicious. Its also why I tried both the Impossible Burger and the Beyond Burger....

Concrete buildings arent the only thing that rises vertically in the metropolis of Mumbai, Indias most populous city. Gilbert Hill is Mumbais oldest skyscraper. Gilbert Hill is a very visible remnant of that volatile era. Geologists believe that the monolith was formed when lava was squeezed out of crack in the plateau. As the magma cooled, it formed vertical columns instead of horizontal layers. These rectangular and hexagonal structures are known as columnar basalt or laccolith....

This might even explain why your phone doesnt always start charging when you plug it in. Youre going to want to grab a toothpick and get to work. I like to use plastic toothpicks because the traditional wooden ones tend to split pretty easily. When youre ready, shine a bright light onto the charging area and carefully insert the toothpick. Start digging out whats in there by making soft scooping motions alongside the outer edges of the port....

A handful of these journalists and photographers were also women. Understandably, many female war correspondents were not happy with the ban. Martha Ellis Gellhorn was an American war correspondent for theColliersmagazine. Later, she travelled to Spain to cover the Spanish Civil War in 1937. During this periodshe metErnest Hemingway, who was also in Spain as a correspondent. They married in 1940, she becoming Hemingways third wife, and Hemingway becoming Gellhorns second husband....

When you open up an article thinking its a few hundred and its actually several thousand, your time might be a bit more limited. I Lazy to Read is an online app that can take that epically long article and still it down to five key sentences and insights....

Its the first weekend of summer. (June 20 is astronomy bullshit for nerds.) Time to startwearing all whiteand eating meat outdoors. Lets minimize regret by making a plan. Make a bad-weather plan Weather.com sayspretty much everywhere, its gonna be hot. Cool on the West Coast though. (If youre really looking forward to watching six hours of TV, go for it! Just dontsettlefor it if you actually wanted to, say, play D&D....

Finding the right fit for your shoes is not that difficult. All you oughta do is take a short walk through the store in the new pair. They were also a nice sales gimmick. Front and side view of a Shoe Fitting Fluoroscope. A typical viewing lasting about 20 seconds deliveredhalf the amountof radiation a CT-scan of the chest did. Because many of the machines were poorly maintained, some of them delivered potentially hazardous doses....

On an island far far away, there once lived a duck named Trevor. Nobody knew where he came from, because until his arrival there was no duck on the island. He had appeared mysteriously on this remote rocky island after one violent storm. But Niue is far from cramped. How harrowing his journey might have been is anybodys guess. Trevor arrived on Niue in January 2018. Once Trevor landed, he quickly realized he had a problem....

There area lotof new featuressome big, some small, some minusculein Microsofts big May 2019 update for Windows 10. I already covered a few of my favorites (the coolest ones, as I put it), but Ill be going through the rest of the update and highlighting other interesting tweaks that Lifehackers mighty readers might want to know about. The first feature on my list is a quick and easy one, but its incredibly useful if youve ever been prompted to install an update (or reset your computertoinstall an update) during a time when that wouldnt be idealwhen youre working, playing a game, or otherwise using your system for anything but a ten-minute update process....

We also know how exciting it is to experience something that pulls us away from the daily grind. Today, we get to sleep in! A coworker suggested we try the new pizza place! Theres nothing wrong with skipping the gym now and then, of course....

Ethiopia is almost completely depleted of its forest cover. In the early 1900s, nearly forty-five percent of the country was covered by forests. At the center of these bright-green pockets of biodiversity is almost always an Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahido Church. Photo credit: Kieran Dodds Churches in Ethiopia have always been covered by small forests. Locals believe that the forest protects the sacredness of the church. The tree canopy, they say, prevent prayers from being lost to the sky....

I said, Mom, lets go! I began in photography when I was 14 years old and I had a paper route in Southern California. I could hear the fire department being dispatched to potential newsworthy events. One summer morning I heard about a car struck by a train. I said, Mom, lets go! I was too young to drive so we hopped into our Ford Pinto and off we went....
