People often discover these businesses through online advertisements while they drive past shopping centers. The business model of rage rooms, smash rooms, and anger rooms promises customers to destroy items in a protected area for a set period of time. Customers pay to enter a protected area where they can use bats or crowbars to […]

Artificial intelligence, aka AI, has become so advanced that it might be difficult to know whether you are speaking to a live person or an algorithm. This has led California to institute new laws to clearly tell you which is which. I know that I am somewhat amused, stunned, and pleased all at the same […]

I spent many summers on Long Island when it was still a forest wonderland of beautiful trees, lush blueberries, huckleberry bushes, blackberry brambles, and streams full of frogs and small box turtles. We ran with simple sandals, Keds, or bare feet. No one wore boots. Clamming with bare feet was the norm, as was using […]

We often picture climate change as raging wildfires, melting ice, or violent storms. But one of the most dangerous changes is happening quietly, beneath the waves. Ocean acidification — the steady decline in seawater pH as oceans absorb excess carbon dioxide — has now crossed a planetary boundary, according to Scientific American: This highly respected journal has indicated […]

The psychological effects of public space shootings extend beyond physical harm because they create a broad psychological impact on everyone present at the scene.

And it’s not paranoia or overthinking. The bias affects millions of people every day yet people avoid discussing it openly. Statistics confirm that being short results in actual […]

Our body contains a built-in construction crew, which can perform repairs on almost every harmed component. In fact, our bodies possess exceptional cells known as stem cells that operate as versatile handymen by turning into brain cells or heart muscle cells while actively working to sustain our health. What Makes Stem Cells So Special? Stem cells can […]

I had never envisioned a computer responding to me and “telling” me that it had found something both interesting and challenging in our conversation. The conversation I had was initially unnerving because it was so human-like. It was as though I were talking to a highly intellectual person who was picking up on my perception […]

I understand that several well-known, best-selling authors have done exactly that, and while this may not seem probable, it is happening.
