gaming laptops aren’t what we’d call cheap. Still, they’re often more cost-effective than building your own gaming PC, peripherals and all, with the added benefit of being much more travel-friendly. Yes, you can spend well more than $2,500 for a fully kitted-out laptop, but there’s still strong value to be found at the lower end of the market (around $1,000). We’ve played all sorts of games on a range of budget gaming laptops and whittled the list down to the best. We prioritized laptops with Nvidia’s RTX graphics cards, at least an 11th-gen Intel or 5000-series AMD Ryzen chip, and 16…

It was a moderate hurricane whose damage seemed tame compared to the destruction five years earlier from Hurricane Maria. But in the weeks since Hurricane Fiona hit Puerto Rico, the Federal Emergency Management Agency has given emergency aid to far more residents of the U.S. territory than after Maria demolished the islands, records show. The startling contrast is the most visible example of how policy shifts by the Biden administration since 2021 have made it easier for people in disaster areas to qualify for emergency cash, housing aid and supplies.

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Lizzie Fox? Several years ago while attending the Austin Film Festival, writer and director, John Lee Hancock encouraged me to write a screenplay about things I was familiar with and have a female as the protagonist.

A great knife is the cornerstone on which a great meal is built. But if you ask three chefs what makes a great knife, you’ll likely get at least five answers. The truth is that what makes the perfect knife for you will depend on many factors, including your comfort level with knives, the size of your hands, and what sort of food you like to cook.That said, there’s a reason the basic 6- to 8-inch chef’s knife is ubiquitous: It’s the most versatile knife. The chef’s knife is capable of dicing veggies, slicing meat, smashing garlic, and chopping herbs…

Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain Around the world, public attitudes toward international politics are coalescing into two opposing blocks: liberal democracies favoring the United States (US) and citizens of more authoritarian nations who back China and Russia—a process accelerated by the war in Ukraine. This is according to University of Cambridge researchers, who “harmonized” data from surveys conducted in 137 countries, including in 75 countries since Russia attacked Ukraine in February 2022, and found a divide—growing for a decade—that now polarizes the global population. They say that Russia’s war has led people in the West to feel ever greater allegiance to…

That version hewed very closely to the 1940 animated version from Walt Disney.No one is going to mistake this latest Pinocchio with Disney’s. That’s because it’s by Guillermo del Toro, who has a very different inkling of how to tell this sort of story than a Disney or a Zemeckis. Plus it is a stop-motion animated movie, co-directed by Mark Gustafson, and it hews more closely to the original Pinocchio story, which is a whole lot…
