Leftist Twitch streamer and op-ed lightning rod Hasan Piker has been served with a subpoena by the U.S. Treasury Department, according to FOX News. While he’s no stranger to controversy, the summons are in regards to his trip to Cuba back in March of this year, where he joined anti-war organization CodePink as part of an aid mission. While still tied down with the crisis in the Strait of Hormuz, the U.S. government has been escalating tensions with Cuba since Trump’s return to the presidency. Most devastatingly, the administration set up a blockade last February, cutting Cuba off from oil…

In fact, users who prefer thumping low end will definitely appreciate the Buds 3 Pro’s sound quality more. These fellas offer satisfying bass…
An international team of astrophysicists has found evidence that the universe recycles black holes, merging them to form even larger ones. Gravitational waves recorded in recent years show that some of the heaviest black holes within star clusters exhibit clear signs of being “second-generation” black holes—products of past collisions—and therefore could not have originated from the collapse of a massive star.Impossible Black HolesThe evolutionary theory of stars explains that, at the end of the lives of the most massive stars, their cores compress until they form a point so dense that it curves space-time to infinity. This is the classic…
Garlic has been considered a natural mosquito repellent for centuries. In popular culture, it is believed that its pungent smell repels these insects, which, in addition to causing sleepless nights, transmit diseases such as dengue fever or malaria. Now, this belief has a scientific explanation.A group of scientists from Yale University conducted a phytochemical analysis of 43 fruits and vegetables to identify natural compounds capable of interfering with the reproductive behavior of flying pest insects. To do so, the team used fruit flies, a species that often mates on food, as a model organism.Based on this behavior, the researchers hypothesized…

Happy Pentecost Sunday, to those who celebrate. Today is the day when many Christian denominations celebrate the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the 12 apostles, following the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ and his ascension into heaven 40 days later. Many Christians mark this as the birth of the universal Christian church, the day when the apostles began to go out and preach the word of God to the world and gather likeminded individuals together in a faith community. In honor of that day, let’s consider what Pokémon partners each of the apostles likely had with them on…
As we get out of the house, the gear-obsessed WIRED Reviews team is writing about our favorite bags and EDCs. Today, reviewer Martin Cizmar raves about his Topo Designs backpack.

These potato-salad-slinging AI chefs aren’t taking anyone’s jobs. Not yet, anyway. They’re just here as volunteers.Project Open Hand, a nonprofit founded in 1985 by local grandmother and HIV-awareness advocate Ruth Brinker, prepares and packages meals to meet the diverse nutritional requirements of people who need them. The effort began in response to the AIDS crisis, but the nonprofit has since expanded the meals it makes for people with conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, or chronic kidney disease.But it takes many people to make these meals, and Project Open Hand has struggled to entice volunteers to help fill the meal…
Outdoor plans are getting ambitious. With airfares on the rise, it’s time to explore the unknown in your own backyard and further afield. But as we’re generally carrying more kit, and staying away longer, your gear has to keep pace—after all, if anything fails in the great wide open, it’s unlikely you’ll have a spare to fall back on.The adventure market is full of noise: “Military-grade,” “expedition-proven,” “built for the harshest environments.” Many of these claims mean very little. After all, a cooler that keeps ice for five days sounds great until you realize you’re carrying an extra 15 pounds…
Aerodynamic drag is a major “barrier” in high-speed airplanes, automobiles, and bullet trains. This is because a design with less aerodynamic drag allows the aircraft to move at higher speeds with less energy.When an aircraft or car body moves at high speed, a thin layer of air called the “boundary layer” is formed on its surface. This boundary layer has two states: laminar flow, in which air flows in an orderly fashion, and turbulent flow, which involves turbulence.The longer the air stays in the laminar flow state with low friction, the smaller the air resistance becomes, but as the air…
