In contrast to popular belief, winter is fun! Well, if you need to go somewhere, it can definitely be a challenge. Or if you don’t have the correct gear (or proper infrastructure). But there are lots of fun things to do in those chillier winter months. Don’t believe us? Well, here are only a few […]
The term “cheap” has dual meanings. For anyone on a small budget, it means “affordability”. On the other hand, it conveys low-quality, turning a seemingly economical purchase into a not-so-smart decision, epitomized by the adage “You get what you pay for”.

Sometimes, it’s easy to know when you need medical advice. You know you need to go see a doctor right away if you break your leg, for example. With situations like this, simply “toughing it out” isn’t a possibility. At least, not for that long (particularly if you want your bones to mend themselves properly). […]
Have you ever been watching your favorite Netflix show when your internet suddenly cuts out? Instead of discovering who won the baking show, you have to watch a never-ending spinning circle.

When someone mentions artificial intelligence (AI), it may arouse thoughts of your favorite sci-fi movie. But these days, AI is more science than fiction. This is particularly true with regard to hearing aids. The days when hearing aids simply increased the volume and were one-size-fits-all are gone for good. AI is at the root of […]

When speaking about specific activities, 85% were satisfied in a group environment and watching TV, 78% while shopping, and 75% in a restaurant or on the phone. […]
There are a couple of types of vacations, right? There’s the kind where you cram every single activity you can into every single moment. These are the trips that are recalled for years later and are packed with adventure, and you head back to work more worn out than you left. Then there are the […]
Movies and TV shows tend to utilize close-ups (at times extreme close-ups) when the action starts getting really intense. That’s because the human face communicates a lot of information (more information than you’re likely consciously aware of). To say that humans are really facially focused is, well, not a stretch.
