Rudá planeta je plná vody. Ale ukrývá se uprostřed marťanské kůry

Je to ironie. Pokud mají geofyzici pravdu, voda Marsu nezmizela do okolního vesmíru, tedy přinejmenším její část. Zdá se, že nasákla do střední části marťanské kůry, kde vyplňuje praskliny a pukliny. Být na povrchu Marsu, sahala by do výšky 1-2 kilometrů. Takhle je ale nejspíš mimo náš dosah, pokud neprovrtáme 11,5 až 20 kilometrů. http://www.osel.cz/13612-ruda-planeta-je-plna-vody-ale-ukryva-se-uprostred-martanske-kury.html

Creamy keyboards are blowing up with ASMR and tech influencers

There’s something irresistible about the sound a key makes when it’s been pressed down. Tech influencers have gone all in on that “thock” noise, investing in computer keyboards—known on social media as “creamy keyboards”—that bulge with colorful plastic buttons, built to optimize our hands’ clack-clack movements.

The tricky strategy behind the addictive sports betting boom

If you happen to drop a kid off at college this fall, you may be surprised to encounter representatives from assorted sportsbooks handing out free branded swag to returning students. Then again, you may not be the least bit surprised: In the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court’s landmark 2018 decision that opened the door for states to legalize sports betting, even the most casual fan is aware of the gr

Help! My friend keeps DMing me about hanging out and I really don’t want to

There are certain social media rules we can all agree on: Ghosting a conversation is impolite, and replying “k” to a text is the equivalent of a backhand slap (violent, wrong, and rude).
