Without LeBron James, Lakers adjust and defeat Trail Blazers

Of all the things Lakers coach Darvin Ham could say pregame, “status quo” probably isn’t one Lakers fans would want to hear.Their team has spent the first three weeks of the NBA season in a total grind, consistently playing uphill with expected contributors either injured or inconsistent. More of that is what no one wants.Ham, though, used the phrase to describe his lineup — specifically, one piece of it — Cam Reddish starting for Austin Reaves for the second consecutive game.For now, the Lakers seem committed to it,…

Ford Transit Trail becomes all-out adventure camper van – pod by pod

The modularity masters at VanDoIt have officially launched the first camper van build atop Ford's rugged Transit Trail turnkey adventure van. Born before the Transit Trail even debuted, the all-new Moov package fills out Ford's most off-road-ready factory van with Lego Technic levels of plug-and-play modularity, allowing owners to build up a dream floor plan. They can lavish it with all the comforts of home or keep it simple and singleminded for whatever they want to do at the end of the faint, overgrown 4x4 track. A…

Welcome to the Darkness review – neo glam rockers light up the comeback trail | Film

This documentary gives us an entertaining “comeback” narrative arc for the Darkness, the British neo glam-rock band with outrageous campy stylings, sparkly catsuits and real songwriting talent. For a couple of years in the early 00s they were absolutely gigantic, and then crashed and burned, apparently due to lead singer Justin Hawkins’ abuse of drink and drugs. Those were the days when everyone didn’t automatically make solemnly supportive noises about recovery and looking after your mental health: there was more ironic…

Croatian ebike brand Greyp has been trying to lose weight over the last year or so, and has now revealed the result of its labors in the shape of the Zaney eMTB that's been designed "to redefine the notion of pure, unadulterated fun."Greyp was originally launched as a sister company to electric hypercar manufacturer Rimac Automobili, but has been part of the Porsche family since 2021 – when the German auto maker increased its 10% stake from 2018 to take majority ownership.The following January, Porsche bought into…

On the Trail of a Mysterious Force in Space – Scientists Shed New Light on Dark Energy

Using advanced space telescopes and data sets, researchers concluded that dark energy, representing about 76% of the universe’s energy density, is evenly spread throughout space and remains constant over time.An initial study of dark energy using eROSITA suggests that it is evenly dispersed across both space and time.Edwin Hubble’s observation of distant galaxies in the 1920s led to the groundbreaking conclusion that our universe is in a state of expansion. It wasn’t until 1998, though, when scientists studying Type Ia…

Priority hits the trail with hardtail MTB featuring Pinion Smart.Shift

New York's Priority Bicycles is claiming a US first with the launch of the 600HXT hardtail trail bike. Not only does it ride out with a carbon belt and Pinion gearbox, but it features Pinion's electronic Smart.Shift technology.The 600HTX is by no means the first model in Priority's range to drop derailleur gears or internal gear hubs for a Gates Carbon Belt drive and Pinion C1.12 gearbox – they're featured on the 600 commuter and 600X bikepacker."As soon as we developed the 600X, however, we saw potential for a true trail…

Dual-battery, AWD trail monster rides the line between ebike and moped

Ebike startup Bandit recently opened its first direct-to-consumer bricks-and-mortar store in Santa Monica, California, and is celebrating with the launch of a long-range, dual-motor, full-suspension beast called the X-Trail Pro.Described as a street-legal ebike – though its top pedal-assist and throttle speeds exceed the limits for Class 1/2 and 3, so some paperwork will likely be needed before hitting the road – the Bandit X-Trail Pro would be more accurately dubbed an electric moped and is obviously geared towards…
