Habits

Out of everyone in my circles, I feel like the only person left who hasn’t beaten Baldur’s Gate 3. The FOMO of missing out on everyone’s new favorite toy isn’t something that typically compels me, but god — it’s like I don’t make a dent in exploring Faerûn.

I stopped picking up hoards of goblin garbage at the end of Act I, though not of my own…

It's common to reassess your habits in January and I think one thing the vast majority of us could do with changing is how much time we spend mindlessly scrolling through social media. Luckily, Apple has plenty of great Screen Time settings these days (head to Settings > Screen Time) that help you to get a better handle on the way you use your favorite apps. But if you want to make some major changes, it might be worth downloading a third-party app that brings you even more features. Think of the One Sec app like…

Credit: SciTechDaily.comA new paper in the journal Genome Biology and Evolution, published by Oxford University Press, finds that genetic material from Neanderthal ancestors may have…

An imaginary diagram of the interstellar medium distribution of active galactic nuclei based on the current observation results. High-density molecular gas from the galaxy flows along the disk surface toward the black hole. The energy generated by the high temperature of the material accumulated around the black hole destroys the molecular gas and transforms it into atoms and plasma. Most of these multiphase interstellar materials are jets flowing outward from the galactic center (mainly plasma jets are generated directly…

A new study reveals that women spending over six hours daily in sedentary leisure activities may double their risk of uterine fibroids before menopause. The research suggests a link between sedentary behavior and the increased risk of these estrogen-fueled, benign uterine tumors. Risk seems to be linear in women who’ve not yet gone through the menopause. Clocking up 6 or more hours of sedentary leisure time every day may double a woman’s risk of uterine fibroids before she’s gone through menopause, suggests research…
