Image by Luca Onniboni of Unsplash Typewriters clicking in a modern coffee shop may seem like a contradiction. But lately, you might find a young adult sipping an iced oat milk latte while pounding away on a vintage Smith-Corona. At first glance, it feels like performance art or another Instagram aesthetic. But dig a little deeper, and you’ll find something more meaningful—something that says a lot about Gen Z’s relationship with technology, identity, and creativity.

Jason’s brother Travis was a third-round pick in 2013. Richard Sherman was a fifth-round pick in 2011. Fred Warner was a third-round pick in 2018. On and on it goes. We never really know how…

Conventional medicine largely operates on this premise, with hormone replacement therapy (HRT) frequently prescribed to replenish what is believed to be lost — estrogen. But what if this long-accepted understanding of menopause isn’t the complete picture? Research is increasingly questioning the singular focus on estrogen deficiency, suggesting instead a more nuanced reality. Studies indicate that estrogen levels in menopausal women aren’t plummeting across the board.…

On Friday, China’s General Administration of Customs implemented a new rule that determines the country of origin for semiconductor products based on the location of wafer fabrication — not where the chips are designed, developed, or packaged. What Happened: As a result of this development, chips designed by U.S.-based companies like Nvidia Corporation NVDA, Advanced Micro Devices AMD, and Qualcomm Inc. QCOM but manufactured by foundries in Taiwan, such as Taiwan Semiconductor Manufactoring Co. Ltd TSM and United Microelectronics Corporation UMC, will be exempt from China’s 125% retaliatory tariffs on U.S. imports, reported Tom’s Hardware. However, this rule delivers a…

Image by Alexandra Maria of Pexels The phrase “high maintenance” has become a casual insult, especially aimed at women who enjoy a certain lifestyle, appearance, or level of care.

When we call someone “high maintenance,” we usually mean they require more time, effort, or money than we think is reasonable. But whose standards are we measuring against? And more importantly, why is that always framed…

Scheffler is trying to become the fastest to three Masters titles after winning last year and twice in the last three years. After 36 holes, here are…
