Gay, thirtysomething and, in his words, “terminally alone, Howie (Bowen Yang) has based all his thus far unrealised ideals of romance on the heterosexual romantic comedies he grew up watching on screen: opposites attracting, meeting cute and making mad dashes for each other at the airport. “Shit like that doesn’t happen in real life,” counsels his best friend Noah (Joel Kim Booster), though it’s not as if Howie needs reminding – he just wants “the romcom stuff” anyway.Andrew Ahn’s sunny gay buddy movie Fire Island…

By University of St. Andrews May 24, 2022Radio image of the neutral hydrogen gas in the galaxy AGC 114905. Its inclination is estimated from the black ellipse, which fits the data better. Assuming the galaxy is circular when viewed face-on, this implies a moderate inclination of 32°. However, the new study suggests that the blue ellipse for a very low inclination could actually be correct – thus saving the MOND theory – if the galaxy is intrinsically somewhat non-circular. The authors show that this is possible using a…

An international group of astronomers has revived an alternative gravity theory, known as Milgromian Dynamics or MOND. A majority of astronomers agree that there's something out there, called a 'dark matter', which causes spiral galaxies to rotate faster than they should. If we follow the rules of physics, galaxies rotate so quickly that they should fly apart. MOND, a controversial alternative to Albert Einstein's General Relativity that requires dark matter to hold galaxies together, does not require dark matter. As the…

I’ve reviewed quite a few Chromebooks in the past few years, but the one that has consistently topped the competition is the Acer Chromebook Spin 713. Not only is it fast with good battery life but it also sports one of the best screens and port selections you can find in the Chromebook category. But there is one complaint I’ve had about multiple Spin 713 models: they’re just kind of ugly. The Spin 714, the company’s newest premium Chromebook certified through the Intel Evo platform, looks like a similar package to…

Last week, French company Renault announced its plan to fully review spinning off its electric car business into a separate company in 2023, in hopes of catching up with rivals Tesla and Volkswagen. Renault said that the new EV spin-off could bring on board 10,000 new employees by 2023, and its business model would be “adapted to the specificities of electric vehicles and would be able to forge partnerships in new technologies and services,” according to a statement from Renault. The company says that it is…

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness might not have featured as many cameos as people expected, but it sure didn’t disappoint in its horror content. Director Sam Raimi well and truly seized the opportunity to make as scary and brutal a superhero movie as he could, leaning much more into his Evil Dead sensibilities than he did on his Spider-Man films. That’s why this retro ’80s-style horror-themed poster for Doctor Strange 2 is such a perfect compliment to the movie. Reddit user K_Kupertino shared their awesome…

Chromebooks doesn’t ask for a lot. Compared to Macs or Windows laptops, Google’s operating system is lightweight and resource-friendly, able to run well enough on even modest hardware to get real work done. Toss in a speedy CPU, like AMD’s Chromebook-specific Ryzen 7 5825C eight-core, 16-thread powerhouse, and it’s going to feel real fast. That’s precisely what Acer has down with the latest version of its Chromebook Spin 514 2-in-1. I looked at a preproduction unit that is slated to be released in July 2022 at a…

Coin Master is an extremely popular game on Android and iOS that allows users to build their villages or attack villages of other players. However, in order to do that, you need to spin the wheel to get loot and coins. The gathered loot can be used to raid other villages to upgrade your village to a higher level and make it the strongest village in the game. The Coin Master offers seven spins per hour for free to every user after which, they are asked to spend money to get more spins. However, there are workarounds with…
