Delivery options: Two or four weeksOut of all the coffee subscriptions we’ve tried, Angel’s Cup has my favorite twist: blind taste testing. Every time a coffee arrives, it’s in an unmarked black bag. After you’ve decided whether you like a coffee or not, you can look it up in the Angel’s Cup app—that’s when you’ll find out what you’re drinking. It’s a good way to see what you really like without preconceived notions getting in the way.Angel’s Cup is more like a distance-learning coffee school than a box subscription service. WIRED senior reviewer Scott Gilbertson strongly recommends giving the Black…

Eating lots of fats increases the risk of metabolic disorders, but the mechanisms behind the problem have not been well understood. Now, University of California, Irvine biologists have made a key finding about how to ward off harmful effects caused by a high-fat diet. Their study appears in Nature Communications. The UC Irvine research centered on a protein complex called AMPK, which senses the body’s nutrition and takes action to keep it balanced. For example, if AMPK detects that glucose is low, it can boost lipid breakdown to produce energy in its place. Scientists have known that consuming high amounts…

Couples spend thousands (and in some cases, tens of thousands) of dollars on a big event that is meant to declare their love to the world, but they’re also bringing in all their relatives, loved ones, and friends, and with that came come conflicting personalities, diverging motivations, and all sorts of friction. Most couples might only experience a bit of tension leading up to the big…

Tesla’s advanced driver assistant software won’t gain regulatory approval in 2022, CEO Elon Musk said in remarks which indicate the company is not yet able to satisfy authorities that its cars can be driven without someone behind the wheel.The Silicon Valley automaker sells a $15,000 (roughly Rs. 12,45,000) software add-on called “Full Self-Driving” (FSD) which enables its vehicles to change lanes and park autonomously. That complements its standard “Autopilot” feature which enables cars to steer, accelerate and brake within their lanes without driver intervention.However, the cars still need to be driven with human oversight. A completely autonomous vehicle would require regulatory…
Ponderosa pine forests in the Sierra Nevada that were wiped out by western pine beetles during the 2012-2015 megadrought won’t recover to pre-drought densities, reducing an important storehouse for atmospheric carbon. “Forests store huge amounts of atmospheric carbon, so when western pine beetle infestations kill off millions of trees, that carbon dioxide goes back into the atmosphere,” said Zachary Robbins, a postdoctoral at Los Alamos National Laboratory. Robbins is corresponding author of a new paper published in the journal Frontiers in Environmental Science about carbon stored in living ponderosa pines in the Sierra Nevada of California. “We also found that…
For the first time since penning a lengthy statement about her decision, Feist has discussed her departure from Arcade Fire’s tour following allegations of sexual misconduct against frontman Win Butler. (Butler has maintained that all of the alleged interactions were consensual.) In a new interview with The Irish Times, Feist recounted what was running through her head while playing the first two tour dates as an opener, both of which were in Ireland.“I was having an out-of-body experience,” Feist said. “Not to mention, I had brought all of these new songs. I thought, ‘Okay, maybe I’ll go do this tour…
Even after The Mandalorian Season 3, it’s not entirely clear why the title character and his adopted son Grogu showed up on The Book of Boba Fett for several episodes — and pretty much took over the entire series for a little while to continue their own storylines from the end of The Mandalorian Season 2.The Book of Boba Fett star Temuera Morrison still sounds a little befuddled (and maybe even annoyed) about the whole situation himself. At SUPANOVA Comic Con & Gaming convention in Australia, he joked (?) about how the Mandalorian “stole” part of The Book of Boba Fett, which in his words was “painful” to watch.Here’s…

photographyfirm/Shutterstock IN MOST parts of the world, earthworms are seen as the gardener’s friend because of the many ways they improve the soil. Worms feed on decaying organic matter and their faeces contain soil nutrients, such as nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, in forms that are easier for plants to take up. Their tunnels also improve drainage and give a lighter, more airy structure to soil. Ecologists may use the number of worms in a patch of earth as an indicator of whether soil has a good pH, sufficient organic matter and isn’t too compacted. Gauging this in a standardised way…
Photography courtesy of Pomellato The ancient Japanese technique has been used to mend broken pottery for centuries. Now, at a time when sustainability is more important than perfection, it’s found a place in the jewellery industry. By Clara Young Date March 24, 2023 I’ve lost the ability to throw anything away. It’s not because I’m a hoarder. It’s because I can no longer toss out broken bowls and unravelling sweaters with the prelapsarian abandon of yore. So, down into the basement they go until I figure out how to repair them. RELATED: 8 Things To Know Before Buying a Watch…
“There’s no such thing as a good landlord” is a rallying cry of angry renters. In the future, it might be conventional morality that it’s simply wrong to own land.In our times, owning land seems as natural as owning cars or houses. And this makes sense: The general presumption is that you can privately own anything, with rare exceptions for items such as dangerous weapons or archaeological artifacts. The idea of controlling territory, specifically, has a long tenure. Animals, warlords, and governments all do it, and the modern conception of “fee simple”—that is, unrestricted, perpetual, and private—land ownership has existed…
Rosalía closed the North and South American legs of her Motomami tour on Friday (April 28) with a free concert in Mexico City’s Zócalo, and the moment was so emotional for the Spanish superstar that she couldn’t hold back the tears. “Mexico, I want you to know that I’m very grateful for the love you have given me since the beginning of my career. And I want you to know that there has been a lot of inspiration for many years; I studied songs like ‘La Llorona’. Let’s see if I get the tone”, said the singer in front of…

Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain A team of paleontologists, environmentalists, naturalists and biologists affiliated with a number of institutions in Canada and Argentina has found that guano piles left behind by generations of Andean condors over thousands of years can provide clues about long-term changing environmental conditions. In their paper published in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B, the group describes their difficulties in accessing the guano pile and how they studied its contents. As climate change progresses, scientists around the world continue to study potential impacts of ongoing climate change. One way they do so is by studying…

When you think about revamping your look for the warm-weather season, start by picturing the color trends we saw on the spring and summer 2023 Fashion Week runways. Not only are the blooming flowers, longer days, and sunny skies enough to inspire a more vibrant wardrobe, but this season specifically brings with it a bevy of shades that will truly turn heads. Some of the hues of the season center around bright, bold tones like kelly green, classic cobalt, and fiery red. And others speak to a slightly more muted pastel-based palette: think butter yellow, powder blue, and electric lilac.…
Global smartphone shipments declined 9 percent year-on-year (YoY) for the July-September period (Q3) in 2022, shows a new report by market research firm Canalys. Following past trends, Samsung had the major share of the worldwide smartphone shipments. Apple was in second place, followed by Chinese smartphone brands including Xiaomi, Oppo, and Vivo in the top five spots. The Cupertino-based company was the only brand that registered positive growth in its market share despite the fall. Canalys observes that robust demand for iPhone models helped the company to mark positive yearly growth. Canalys said that a gloomy economic outlook has led…
Little work had been done with 1,2,3-cyclohexatrienes previously making it an interesting target to evaluate more widely as a reagent. Credit: Nature (2023). DOI: 10.1038/s41586-023-06075-8 A team of chemists at the University of California, Los Angeles has found that the benzene isomer 1,2,3-cyclohexatriene has the potential to be a versatile reagent in organic synthesis. In their study, reported in the journal Nature, Andrew Kelleghan, Ana Bulger, Dominick Witkowski and Neil Garg conducted experiments with the high-energy compound. For many years, 1,2,3-cyclohexatriene has been virtually ignored as a useful reagent for use in organic synthesis—it has been considered to be too…
Ryuichi Sakamoto died on Tuesday, March 28, the musician’s management has announced. The pioneering Japanese musician and composer, who first came to prominence as a member of Yellow Magic Orchestra in 1978, had shared in a statement in January 2021 that he had been diagnosed with colon cancer, several years after he first returned to music after treatment for throat cancer. Sakamoto was 71 years old.“While undergoing treatment for cancer discovered in June 2020, Sakamoto continued to create works in his home studio whenever his health would allow,” Sakamoto’s management, Commmons, wrote in its statement. “He lived with music until…

Creatively tiling a bathroom floor isn’t just a stressful task for DIY home renovators. It is also one of the hardest problems in mathematics. For centuries, experts have been studying the special properties of tile shapes that can cover floors, kitchen backsplashes or infinitely large planes without leaving any gaps. Specifically, mathematicians are interested in tile shapes that can cover the whole plane without ever creating a repeating design. In these special cases, called aperiodic tilings, there’s no pattern that you can copy and paste to keep the tiling going. No matter how you chop up the mosaic, each section…
Jennifer Garner is not an outfit repeater. On April 11, the “The Last Thing He Told Me” star stepped out for a press day in a series of chic ensembles, including a rhinestone corset dress by Roland Mouret that she wore on her way to “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert.” The edgy midi dress was a departure from Garner’s classically elegant style, and the surprises kept coming when she spun around to share a glimpse at the piece from behind. Garner’s outfit featured a fitted bodice with angular detailing along the bust. The internal corset gave the dress a…
