While throwing a pair of jeans in the dryer sounds fast and easy, it’s not so great for your denim. Dryer heat can compromise the yarn and lycra, so your pants will likely be out of shape within three years’ time. If you’re pressed for time, you can tumble-dry your jeans — but only on the lowest heat setting. Another exception, according to Mazur, involves vintage denim. “Vintage jeans often get a bit stretched out with wear,” he explains. “Throwing them in the dryer briefly can help them regain their shape.” Read The Full Article Here
With great power comes great responsibility, and that might be something that Sherm (Carl Tart) and Wyatt (Justin Cunningham) need to keep in mind in the April 7 episode of Grand Crew. In “Wine & Roasts,” Wyatt doesn’t know how to roast, so Sherm agrees to teach him… but in this matter, there is such thing as going too far. Elsewhere, Noah (Echo Kellum) tries to make things right with a disgruntled customer, Nicky (Nicole Byer) dates a sleep talker, and, of course, there’s wine. Tart previews the roast and teases what else is coming up for Sherm. On a…
Good content starts at the source. If you want to sound your best for coworkers, fans, or teammates, the mic you have built into your headphones, laptop, tablet, or smartphone likely won’t do the job.

These days, it’s not hard to find a great microphone with simple software for very little money. So we’ve rounded them up! These are the best USB microphones around.While you’re at it,…

The iconic first-ever view of a supermassive black hole sports a dramatic new look, thanks to machine learning. The picture that captivated the world in 2019 showed a bright, blurry doughnut of light. But research published in the Astrophysical Journal Letters on April 13 sharpens that view into a narrow ring against a stark, black background. The new image lays the groundwork for future advances in our understanding of black holes, scientists say. “I think they really are in this nice niche where you develop a specific algorithm for a specific problem and put in physical knowledge and make significant…
Coachella’s 2023 lineup is stacked with performers who deliver endlessly on style, with headliners Bad Bunny, Blackpink, and Billie Eilish sporting outfits that had major impact. Other fashion icons like Rosalía, Becky G, and Latto are also taking the stage, with plenty of sheer elements, flashes of leather, and low-rise silhouettes coming into play. While last year’s performance outfits certainly impressed — with Harry Styles singing in a rainbow paillette-sequined Gucci getup and Doja Cat rocking bejeweled separates — everyone knows the after-hour partiers and desert trekkers are just as prepared for the spotlight. Kim Kardashian’s revealing Rick Owens ensemble…
S Club 7 member Paul Cattermole has died. The singer from the British pop band was 46 years old. The news of Cattermole’s death comes just ahead of his intended reunion with the group in 2023. While no cause of death has been determined or shared with the public at this time, a joint statement shared by his family and the pop group said, “It is with great sadness that we announce the unexpected passing of our beloved son and brother Paul Cattermole.” At this time, there are no suspicious circumstances surrounding Cattermole’s death. The singer was found on April…
I read that OnPoint requires around $4.5 million per year to operate around-the-clock. How difficult or easy has it been to get the funding you need? Very difficult. We’ve been staying afloat by fundraising, having the support of a number of amazing individuals and a few foundations. The part of our work that is looked at as the illegal element is the observation of drug use. Once people have used, we’re just providing basic harm reduction services. The observation is just a small part of our work. Is the observation illegal because of the federal “crack house statute”? Yes.Has there been any progress toward…
Marquee acts including Foo Fighters, Pixies, Spoon, and the Walkmen will play the inaugural run of shows at a tiny venue in Washington, D.C., that is being built as a replica of the original 9:30 Club, as Rolling Stone notes. Named for the venue that preceded the 9:30 Club, the replica, the Atlantis, will sit next door to the current (now much bigger) venue, hosting an initial run of 44 shows in the 450-capacity space, starting with Foo Fighters on May 30. I.M.P., which owns the 9:30 Club, made the replica venue to celebrate the 9:30 Club’s 44th anniversary; tickets…

Many people in the U.S. who are fully vaccinated and boosted for COVID have been waiting—eagerly in some cases—to receive another layer of protection as they pass the six-month mark after their last booster in fall 2022. But most will have to continue to wait. Late last month the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention upheld its existing COVID vaccination recommendations: the agency says that just one dose of the latest updated booster, often called the bivalent booster, is necessary for now. The Food and Drug Administration has also only authorized the same one-dose booster. This contrasts with official guidance…
A celebrity can wear the most gorgeous outfit, designer jewelry, and eye-catching shoes on the red carpet—but it could all fall apart without the right power pose. Knowing your angles is truly an art form—one that these stars have perfected over the years. From Kim Kardashian to Zendaya to Beyoncé, we’ve compiled the signature stances of Hollywood’s biggest names.

This is one plan that has really gone awry. Rabbit Hole Season 1 Episode 5 revealed just how far awry the plan has gone and just how alone this ragtag group John has assembled really is. Suffice it to say, we didn’t see this coming, although it wasn’t entirely off the beaten path. It was during Rabbit Hole Season 1 Episode 3 that Ben explained to John and Miles the steps to take over a thriving nation such as the US.

There’s an invisible monster on the loose, barreling through intergalactic space so fast that if it were in our solar system, it could travel from Earth to the Moon in 14 minutes. This supermassive black hole, weighing as much as 20 million Suns, has left behind a never-before-seen 200,000-light-year-long “contrail” of newborn stars, twice the diameter of our Milky Way galaxy. It’s likely the result of a rare, bizarre game of galactic billiards among three massive black holes. Rather than gobbling up stars ahead of it, like a cosmic Pac-Man, the speedy black hole is plowing into gas in front…

Drone photograph of ‘fairy circles’ in spinifex on Nyiyaparli people’s country, east Pilbara, Western Australia. Credit: Dave Wells, Author provided What are “fairy circles”? They are polka dots of bare earth, regularly scattered across arid grasslands. Scientists first described fairy circles in Namibia in the 1970s and sparked a global debate in the scientific community about the causes of the phenomenon. In 2016, a group of international scientists concluded that, in the Australian Pilbara, “fairy circles” arose from spinifex plants competing for water and nutrients—a similar explanation to the one they proposed for fairy circles in Namibia. These stories were…
Adam Sandler will forever be our laid-back style inspiration. Known for wearing oversize hoodies, bright Hawaiian shirts, baggy shorts, and sporty sneakers, the actor prioritizes comfort to an admirable extent, even on the red carpet. From his early acting days to more recent press tours, the father of two isn’t afraid to keep it casual at movie premieres and award shows, providing a comical juxtaposition to the glitzy dresses and sleek suits worn by fellow stars and his go-to date, wife Jackie. Sandler’s low-key fashion sense was last on full display at the “Murder Mystery 2” premiere in Los Angeles,…
After their relationships with Conrad and Billie ended, Cade and James fell together — and we have to admit we were surprised to find it worked! That was not originally in the cards, and in fact, the original plan for James completely changed after Dale’s casting. “We were thinking that he would be … not a bad guy exactly, but a womanizer, slick, somebody you might not like. But honestly, when Ian came in and played James, he was so sympathetic and so warm, and his open, honest sexual relationship with Cade was fantastic, and we just immediately saw the…

Approximately 260 people were inside the sold-out 1,500 capacity venue at the time of the incident. As of this posting the National Weather Service has not confirmed whether a tornado touched down on the venue…
