More than 2,000 years ago, a young woman on the Italian island of Sardinia died for unknown reasons. Her body was buried face down in a tomb at the Monte Luna necropolis, the front of her skull pierced by something sharp.The grave, which dates to about the second or third century BCE, was uncovered and photographed in 1980, but archaeologists are still scratching their heads over the remains and the curious way in which they were buried.Though the wound was inflicted around the time of her death, it's not considered to…

Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania hit theaters this weekend, and you will know that’s the case even if your only connection to comic books is through Marvel Snap.

Image via Warner Bros. The Snyderverse is dead, bury it, utters James Gunn with his announcement of the first slate of new DC films. But for the absolute hardcore Zack Snyder fans, there’s one last desperate plea to save the series by selling it off to Netflix. Yes, because Netflix is the reliable service you’d want to sell your dream project to. Among the DC fanbases are many rifts and subsections, as well as a near constant civil war between Gunn-men and Snyder cultists. The divide is almost as simple as a…

Since arriving on the market around 2010, gel manicures have become a staple in nail salons across the US and many parts of the world, and it’s easy to see why. Compared to traditional nail polish, gel variants are more resilient to damage and smudging, and they retain their shine until you remove the polish from your fingernails. Best of all, if you’re the impatient sort, you don’t need to wait an hour or more for a gel manicure to dry. Those benefits all come courtesy of the way the polish cures. Instead of waiting for…

After yesterday’s bombshell news that the DC Universe was in for quite the shake-up under new studio heads James Gunn and Peter Safran, a few more details are surfacing today about exactly what has been going down. Yesterday’s info dump from The Hollywood Reporter suggested that Patty Jenkins’ Wonder Woman threequel was put on the chopping block after the director of the first two films presented her first treatment of the film to Warner Bros.  New information has come to light suggesting that it was in fact Jenkins who…

Transitioning from being interviewed to becoming the interviewee can be awkward, but asking a more reflective question can be a great way to ease into the shift in dynamics while helping you learn more about arguably one of the most important aspects of the company: culture. Valerie Rector, VP of Human Resources at Ping Identity, suggests starting by asking, "What do you like most about the work culture? What's most unique about it?" "Even though it's a bit of a softball, it's still a great question that keeps the…

While I'm an iPhone user, I've been had this Android smartphone in my toolbox for months, and I love it. The Ulefone Armor 9 is a solid Android smartphone that's water-resistant, dust-resistant, can take hard knocks, and has a built-in FLIR thermal camera.There's also the option to add a borescope, turning this into a toolbox you can keep in your pocket.I've tried a lot of ruggedized Android phones, and a few with built-in thermal cameras, but this one is the one I like the best. It's tough enough to survive heavy use,…

In the weeks before the first Surface tablet was announced, at a time when the secret new device was still hidden inside window-free rooms at Microsoft’s headquarters, a video producer was tasked with creating a sizzle reel to help introduce the new tablet. He needed to film everything: the kickstand, the ports, and the all-important keyboard cover. And for some extra flair, he wanted to film the components of the tablet individually, so he started to take the unit apart. That proved to be a problem.“The bottom of Surface…

I like to think I’m a generous reviewer. If I enjoyed 75 percent of a game, I can forgive the other, crappier, 25 percent. I can’t do that with Bayonetta 3. The game was a thoroughly enjoyable, worthy successor for its first three quarters, only to faceplant so hard in the final fourth that I’m ready to write off the entire game’s existence — a game I had been waiting for with bated breath for years.I’d been looking forward to this game for so long and, at the beginning, Bayonetta 3 did not disappoint. From the game’s…
