The patient: A 64-year-old woman in CanadaThe symptoms: Paramedics brought the patient to the emergency department after she developed sudden weakness, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and lower abdominal pain.What happened next: The woman told doctors she’d developed the symptoms minutes after consuming two cups of homemade juice made from pureed calabash (Lagenaria siceraria), also known as bottle gourd. She said she’d made and drunk juice from store-bought calabash every day for years, according to a report of the case. However, on this occasion, she noted that it tasted “abnormally bitter,” rather than having its more typical mild squash flavor. You may…

Anyone who’s tried to pack for a week-long camping trip in a compact crossover knows the painful game of Tetris that happens in the driveway. You’re stuffing sleeping bags into every corner, bungee-cording gear to the roof, and someone’s still holding the fishing rods because there’s literally nowhere left to put them. Modern CUVs might be more fuel-efficient than ever, but they’ve quietly sacrificed cargo space along the way – that sleek roofline that looks great in photos means your gear is getting left behind. The thing is, you don’t need to trade your daily commuter for a massive SUV…

This model has always been the middle child in Samsung’s flagship portfolio, offering a big-screen experience without breaking the bank. It’s an alternative to the Galaxy Ultra, but in the past couple of generations, not the best-selling of the S-series lot.However, we’re getting a Galaxy S26 Plus, and given people often upgrade around the two year mark, it’s interesting to compare it to its distant sibling – the Galaxy S24 Plus. Of course, the S26 Plus isn’t official yet, it’s expected around January 2026, but we have some idea about the upgrades (or the lack of upgrades) the S26 Plus…

Nintendo gear is always sought after during the holiday shopping season, but this year likely more so than others. The Nintendo Switch 2 is the console launch of 2025 and it will undoubtedly be at the top of many wish lists for both kids and adults alike. If you were hoping to save a bit on the console during the Black Friday shopping season, you may be disappointed. The Nintendo Black Friday sale was just announced, and unsurprisingly, there aren’t a lot of true “deals” to be had. This is typical of Nintendo — legit Nintendo Black Friday deals are…

Every single day—weekend, weekday, rain or shine—whichever robot vacuum I’m currently testing starts running at 9 am. It’s always a good sign. I heave a sigh of relief and continue with whatever else I was doing, content that at least that f*cking chore in my house is getting done.When I first started testing robot vacuums eight years ago, it sometimes seemed like more trouble than it was worth. I cleaned up the floor. I meticulously maintained the different sensors. Now I just don’t care. (I mean, yes, I do care, robot vacuum manufacturers, I just care slightly less.) Even if…

More than 300,000 snakebite cases occur in Africa annually, resulting in at least 7,000 deaths, as well as numerous amputations and injuries. Now, scientists have invented a new nanobody-based antivenom that shows promise against 17 dangerous African snake species.Until now, the mainstays of treatment have been antivenoms created by exposing horses to particular venoms and then isolating protective antibodies from the animals’ blood. These traditional antivenoms can occasionally cause allergic reactions in patients, and they are effective against only one or a few of related snake species.Now, in a study published in October in the journal Nature, scientists report creating…

While Arc Raiders certainly isn’t alone in featuring paid cosmetics and, soon, battle passes, the game has come under fire from fans since launch for its pricey skins and concerns that some items in the upcoming premium battle passes will be “pay-to-win.” In a blog post outlining some pricing changes, however, developer Embark Studios is responding to player feedback and concern, lowering prices on existing cosmetics and clarifying what fans can expect when premium battle passes arrive. Backlash against expensive skin pricing in Arc Raiders swiftly followed the game’s release on October 30. With the game selling for $40 rather…

It won’t be long before Black Friday, the biggest shopping event of the year, goes live. And while you should certainly expect many epic deals on various Android phones, we’d say Motorola’s latest high-end flip phone is easily worth grabbing immediately. How so? Well, the Razr Ultra has plunged under $1,000 once again, allowing you to save $300 on the 512GB variant. Although this isn’t the first time we’ve seen this generous discount, it has been almost a month since it last went live at Amazon. And since there’s no way to tell whether this mighty foldable will get any…
