A single lightning bolt heats the air around it to roughly 30,000 degrees Celsius, about five times hotter than the surface of the Sun, and the thunder you hear is that channel of air exploding outward faster than the speed of sound

A lightning bolt heats the narrow channel of air it travels through to roughly 30,000°C — about five times hotter than the surface of the Sun. Thunder is that channel exploding outward faster than the speed of sound, then decaying into the rumble you hear seconds later.

WhatsApp Beta Reveals iCloud Backup Alternative for iPhone

WhatsApp is developing a first-party cloud storage option for chat backups on iPhone, providing users with an alternative to iCloud for the first time, according to app tinkerer WABetaInfo. Code found in the WhatsApp beta for iOS (version 26.28.10.16), available through TestFlight, suggests that users will eventually be able to pick their preferred backup destination directly from the app's chat backup settings. iCloud however will remain the default. The feature... Read more

Neurologists increasingly point to ultra-processed foods as the single largest modifiable risk factor for cognitive decline — and the mechanism runs through the gut, not the brain

Alzheimer's deaths have risen more than 140% since 2000 while other major killers have fallen. A new wave of gut-brain research points at a culprit hiding in plain sight in the supermarket aisle — and the damage begins nowhere near the brain. Read more

Поставил свою Flutter-игру на iPhone друга без Mac и подписки Apple Developer

Занимаюсь разработкой своей игры на Flutter. Дошёл до этапа, когда её пора было показать другу-тестировщику, а у него iPhone. Первая мысль — покупать Mac Mini или подписку Apple Developer за $99 в год. Обе цены платить не хотелось, пока проект не подтвердил, что вообще будет.На Samsung всё это делается за 15 минут: dev mode, USB, установка. На iPhone пришлось искать схему, которую нигде не находил собранной в одном месте —... Read more

Why the Trump administration loves the stupidest renewable energy

The modern soybean is one of the world’s miracle technologies, capable of cheaply, efficiently, and healthfully supplying protein and other nutrients to billions of people. But, unfortunately, we’ve mostly chosen to squander it on the most destructive purposes possible.  Soy is America’s second most widely cultivated crop, occupying a land area equivalent to more than […] Read more

Thought of the day from G.K. Chesterton, dated to 1927: “The traveler sees what he sees. The tourist sees what he has come to see.”

“The traveler sees what he sees. The tourist sees what he has come to see.” The line is attributed everywhere online to G.K. Chesterton, usually dated to around 1927, and it has the compressed, paradoxical shape that made Chesterton the most quotable Englishman of his generation. It is worth saying plainly, though, that the exact ... Read more Read more

People who still write things down by hand aren’t being nostalgic — they’re using a form of cognitive processing that studies suggest may strengthen memory

The people reaching for a pen over a keyboard are often written off as sentimental, clinging to a slower tool out of habit. Yet the more interesting explanation has nothing to do with feeling. When a hand moves a pen across paper, the brain appears to do something distinct from what it does at a ... Read more Read more

Research suggests the the happiest retirees may share two habits — a handful of interests they’ve gone deep on, and friendships they’ve deliberately rebuilt since leaving work

Retirement advice often assumes the point is to stay busy — that the calendar needs filling. The research on who ends up happy in retirement points somewhere narrower. Two patterns keep showing up in the surveys and the long studies, and neither is really about the size of the schedule.  A note on what follows. ... Read more Read more

Thought by Hannah Arendt: “Loneliness is not solitude. Solitude requires being alone whereas loneliness shows itself most sharply in company with others.”

The loneliest I have ever felt was at the opening of my own restaurant. Packed floor, good music, every table turning over, people three deep at the bar telling me it was the best night of the year. I stood in the corner by the pass, watched all of it, and felt like I was ... Read more Read more

I first watched my mother disappear at a dinner party about three years ago. Nobody was rude. That is the strange part.

My dad is almost 70 and has no close friends, and I’ve stopped trying to fix it, because I finally understood he doesn’t experience it as a problem — he built a whole life on not needing anyone, and to him the quiet isn’t loneliness, it’s just how a man is supposed to live

My father is almost seventy and he has no close friends. Not one. No mate he rings on a Sunday, no old colleague he meets for a beer, nobody who would notice, in the first day or two, if he went quiet. For years this frightened me. So I did what you do. I tried ... Read more Read more

I spent years reaching for my phone the moment anxiety hit, and then I found out sound therapists engineered an eight-minute song to slow your heart rate down to 50 beats per minute, and it works better than anything else I tried

For years, the moment anxiety hit, my hand went to my phone before my brain had finished registering what was happening. Not to call anyone. Not even to look anything up. Just to hold it, unlock it, scroll it, as if the object itself were a stress ball with a battery in it. It never ... Read more Read more

Opinion | The most magnetic people often aren’t the charming or witty ones — they tend to be the people whose visible ease quietly gives everyone else permission to stop performing

What follows is editorial reflection on research about how people read and affect one another, not psychological guidance. We are writers reading the literature, not clinicians or psychologists. The studies cited here describe patterns across groups, and population-level findings are not prescriptions for any one reader’s social life. The most magnetic person in a room ...

Thought of the day by Stoic philosopher Seneca: “The wise man is self-sufficient. Nevertheless, he desires friends, neighbours, and associates, no matter how much he is sufficient unto himself.”
