đ Turo in trouble: The terrorists in the New Orleans attack and Cybertruck explosion outside Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas had one thing in common: They used the same car-sharing app, Turo. With Turo, you rent from a person, not a big car rental company. Turoâs no small app; it had 3.5 million bookings last year.
Who do you imagine when I say âsocial media influencer?â Iâll bet a young, hot model or a chiseled guy into cars. Itâs time to expand your horizons.
I love that Joy Ryan didnât even get her passport until she was 91. At 94, sheâs on a mission to visit every continent with her grandson. So far, sheâs at four out of seven. Joy is also the oldest person to visit all 63 U.S. national parks.
A metallic ring 8 feet in diameter and 1,100 pounds fell from space into a village in Kenya. No one got hurt, phew. It seems to be a piece of a rocket launch vehicle.
You shouldnât say to kids: âIâm disappointed in you.â Columbia sociologist Adam Galinsky says all it does is make them feel shame. Try being constructive instead, like, âHow can we set up a system to get your homework done?â I still remember when my dad said to me after one college semester, âYou get an A in Physics, Computer Programming, Statistics and Economics but a D in Accounting. What the hell is wrong with you?â He didnât have to use the word âdisappointed!â đ

Top speed for Chinaâs new bullet train prototype. Thatâs a world record and fast enough to zip from New York to Chicago in under three hours. Chinaâs current fastest trains max out at 220 mph. The fastest Amtrak trains go 160 mph, but most top out closer to 100 mph. We really need better trains in the U.S.
New internet speed world record. Thatâs 4.5 million times faster than the average broadband connection. Some context: At that speed, itâd take one minute to download every single movie listed on IMDb. Speaking of ⌠How do you know the speed of light is much faster than the speed of sound? Because some people appear bright until they open their mouths.
Age of footprints found in Saudi Arabia. These are the oldest ones ever uncovered on the Arabian Peninsula. They turned up in a dried-up watering hole in the Nafud Desert, right next to animal tracks. The area was wetter back then, and early humans were likely taking a water break alongside other animals, like a prehistoric rest stop.
Collected by holiday apps compared to regular paid apps. The holidays are over, but those festive apps are still gifting your data to anyone willing to pay. Monopoly Go! is the worst offender. Hereâs the full list. Ditch âem.
Works from this year will enter the public domain on Jan. 1. Included are Alfred Hitchcockâs âBlackmail,â along with âTintin in the Land of the Sovietsâ and âThimble Theater,â which features Popeye and Olive Oyl (and her brother, Castor Oyl). Public domain means theyâre not protected by copyright, so anyone can use, copy, distribute or change them. Get ready for some weird Popeye videos, folks. Food for thought: Wouldn’t it be ironic if Popeyesâ chicken was fried in olive oil?
