“Developing a tire specifically for electric vehicles requires a number of considerations you do not encounter when working with internal combustion engines,” said Ian Coke, chief technical officer at Pirelli North America. “Electric vehicles are heavier, have more powerful and faster acceleration off the line, and require lower rolling resistance.” Rolling resistance refers to the…
Thirty-eight years later, The Running Man is back on our screens, playing to a world that seems to have caught up with the original’s idiocy. This new one features a considerably less bulky, but no less watchable star in Glen Powell, playing runner Ben Richards. Fired from various jobs for insubordination, and tending to a…
Once you’re positive you have a flea problem, bathe all the cats and dogs in the home (even those that aren’t scratching) with a mild soap (Hansen suggests Dawn dish detergent because it can cut the surface tension of water, making it easier for the fleas to drown), then comb out any fleas with a…
Consider a laxative. Straining on the toilet? A good first fix is an over-the-counter laxative, Brown says. He recommends those with polyethylene glycol (found in MiraLax) or magnesium hydroxide (in Milk of Magnesia), which pull water into the intestines and soften stool.

This year’s updates include the built-in flashlight and a new reinforced bezel,…
What do you love about coffee? Is it the caffeine boost in the morning, the creamy sweetness of a cappuccino or latte, the bucket of filter coffee you can sip on all day, or the quick kick of a good espresso? Or is it the zen-like ritual of it all, the measuring of beans and…
Phone screens are better than they’ve ever been—bigger, sharper, and brighter—but they don’t always offer the best displays for extended reading sessions. If you’ve got a lot of text to get through, you might find yourself turning to a Kindle instead, or even a good old-fashioned physical book. There are ways to tweak the screen…
It’s so annoying. You’ve just spent hundreds of dollars on a new Garmin Fenix 8 or Forerunner 970, only to find out you might have to hand over even more money to get the full Garmin experience. Earlier this year, Garmin introduced Connect+, a subscription element to its Connect companion app earlier. It stirred up…
