Things Worth Noting
Stephen Hawking warned that humanity may have only 100 years left on Earth unless we become a multi-planetary species. He highlighted rising risks like climate change, overpopulation, nuclear war, asteroid impacts, deadly pandemics, genetically engineered viruses, and uncontrolled super-AI that could lead to extinction. Originally giving us 1,000 years, he shortened the timeline in 2017 […]
Most pesticide residues on fruits and vegetables sit on the surface and can be greatly reduced by proper washing. Run produce under cool water while rubbing or scrubbing firm items like apples and using a soft brush on delicate ones like berries or mushrooms. Soaking in a baking soda solution (1 tsp per 2 cups […]
China’s latest quantum computers, Zuchongzhi 3.0 and Jiuzhang 4.0, have achieved massive quantum advantage. The 105-qubit superconducting Zuchongzhi 3.0 finished a random circuit sampling task in seconds that would take the fastest classical supercomputers billions of years, outperforming Google’s latest chips by millions of times. Jiuzhang 4.0, a photonic system using over 2,000 photons, solved […]
The U.S. Mint has ended production of the penny after 232 years. The final one-cent coins were struck in a ceremonial event at the Philadelphia Mint on November 12, 2025. Making each penny cost over 3 cents in recent years, leading to millions in annual losses, which made continued production unsustainable. Pennies will remain legal […]
A VPN (Virtual Private Network) creates a secure, encrypted tunnel between your device and the internet, hiding your real IP address and protecting your data. It uses strong AES-256 encryption and protocols like WireGuard or OpenVPN to keep your online activity private, especially on public Wi-Fi. Key benefits include online privacy, bypassing geo-blocks for streaming, […]
Modern homes burn much faster than older ones. Thirty years ago, you had about 17 minutes to escape a house fire; today, it’s often just 3–5 minutes. Synthetic furniture with polyurethane foam, polyester fabrics, open floor plans, engineered wood, and lightweight drywall cause fires to spread rapidly and reach flashover quickly. Burning plastics release thick, […]
Joe Rogan believes Elon Musk knows hidden truths about space and aliens due to his SpaceX contracts with NASA and the Department of Defense. Rogan says Musk must stay quiet on UFOs and extraterrestrial topics because of security clearances, and his dismissals seem calculated. A major reason is the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS discovered in 2025, […]
In 2025, women’s health continues to evolve with a focus on natural, sustainable solutions to address nutrient gaps caused by busy lifestyles, vegan diets, vegetarian preferences, or specific life stages like childbearing age, prenatal periods, or postmenopausal transitions. Organic multivitamins stand out as a reliable way to support overall well-being, drawing from whole food sources […]
Dry skin patches (xerosis) appear as rough, flaky, itchy, or scaly spots caused by dehydration, hot showers, harsh soaps, frequent handwashing, low humidity, aging, or conditions like eczema, psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis, and contact dermatitis. For quick relief, take short warm showers, pat dry, and immediately apply a thick moisturizer with ceramides, hyaluronic acid, glycerin, or […]
In 2025, Starlink delivers reliable high-speed satellite internet, especially in rural and remote areas. Typical download speeds exceed 200 Mbps (often 100–400 Mbps), uploads top 30–40 Mbps, and latency stays low at 25–30 ms, perfect for streaming, gaming, and video calls. Uptime is over 99.9%, with rare outages thanks to laser links, fast satellite handoffs, […]
