It packs an 8-core CPU and up to a 10-core GPU (two more GPU cores than its predecessor), along with support for up to 24 GB of unified memory.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe already has a lot of superheroes. But even with all the different character, there’s something missing. The MCU is currently weighted too heavily towards massive, world-ending threats. Even relatively grounded heroes like Moon Knight and Shang-Chi have been turned into more supernatural avengers with massive powers capable of stopping major threats.If you know Marvel, you know a huge percentage of their comics are about street-level threats and the vigilantes that deal with them. In our latest Marvel video, we make the case for adding just such a group of heroes — call them the Defenders, call them…
[]Essential info:[]Price: $99.99/£89.99[]Model number: 10289[]Pieces: 1,173[]Finished item dimensions: 18 x 5 inches / 46 x 13 cm[]Recommended age: 18+[]We’re not really sure why the Lego Icons Bird of Paradise carries a price tag of $99.99/£89.99 – literally double the price of all other sets in the Lego Botanical Collection.

Nadean, adopted 46 years earlier, was about to unlock her life’s great mystery. But the laws at the time in Canada did not allow the administrator to share adoption info with adoptees. With such heartbreak and frustration, Nadean considered yanking the file from the administrator’s hands and dashing off. Instead, Nadean Stone, author of her…

New research has found some antidepressants may be effective in treating certain chronic pain conditions, but others lack convincing evidence on their effectiveness. Many people are unaware that some antidepressants (medications used to treat people living with depression) are also being prescribed to treat certain chronic pain conditions. Chronic pain affects between one-third and one-half of the UK population. The treatment of chronic pain is often suboptimal, with commonly used medicines having limited or unknown benefits, and sometimes harmful side effects. Antidepressants are prescribed to help manage chronic pain, even when the person affected does not have a mood disorder…

Newman wrestling with perfectionism and the challenges of conveying your emotions through a creative medium: “Angels on the edge of my bed, been there half of the night/ Looked around, asked ‘You made this hell yourself? Well it’s real nice,’” goes the track’s tongue-in-cheek first lines. “I pictured this one as a weird little George Saunders-esque sketch,…

Volatile chemicals of tsetse flies. Methyl palmitoleate (MPO), produced by the tsetse fly Glossina morsitans, elicits physiological responses from olfactory neurons. MPO also elicits behavioral responses, acting as an attractant and an arrestant, and as an aphrodisiac when used to perfume females of another species. Trypanosome infection alters the tsetse chemical profile. When placed with two females, one uninfected and one infected, males mated with the uninfected female. Credit: Estefania Alonso Gómez, CC BY-SA 4.0 Yale scientists have for the first time identified a volatile pheromone emitted by the tsetse fly, a blood-sucking insect that spreads diseases in both humans…

Doechii recently watched Avatar: The Way of Water, and it got her thinking about a key Na’vi tenet: “All energy is borrowed, and someday you have to give it back.” “That’s exactly how I feel,” she says. “From the women before me, I’m borrowing their energy so that one day I can give it back to the girl after me. That’s what I’m here to do.” In just the past year, the 24-year-old rapper from Tampa, Fla. — who started releasing music in the 2010s before self-funding her debut EP in 2020 — has used that energy to impressive ends.…

Tapping into your “muscle memory” to tie your shoes or play an instrument may feel automatic — but to execute these learned motions, the brain erupts into a flurry of activity, rapidly “unzipping” and “zipping” all the key information about the movement being performed, a new study suggests.The study, published Feb. 1 in the Journal of Neuroscience (opens in new tab), used a brain scanning technique called functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to collect snapshots of people’s brains as they played simple melodies on a keyboard. fMRI tracks the flow of oxygenated blood through the brain, and because active brain…

More than 3 million adults were forced to evacuate their homes in the past year because of a natural disaster, according to a new Census Bureau tally that marks a rare federal effort to assess the uprooting caused by hurricanes, floods and other events.

Census figures show that 3.4 million adults were displaced in 2022, or 1.4 percent of the U.S. adult population. By contrast, the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre, which tracks people who are…
