In a follow-up text message, when asked if he was breaching the conditions of his supervised release, Grenon said his probation…
Buying the best treadmill for your home gym is a big commitment. Even the more affordable models are pricey. They take up a lot of space, and if you’ve ever come across a busted belt or a broken screen, you know how frustrating they can be. That being said, having a cardio machine in your house that works makes exercising so much more convenient. I definitely run more (and stick to my marathon training plans better) because of various treadmills I’ve had at home over the years. They can also make interval training a bit easier and help you practice…
Transgender and gender-nonconforming people continue to fight for equal rights, despite persistent attacks from conservative lawmakers in the United States and abroad.

My first meeting with Bill Atkinson was unforgettable. It was November 1983, and reporting for Rolling Stone, I had gained access to the team building the Macintosh computer, scheduled to launch early the next year. Everyone kept telling me, “Wait till you meet Bill and Andy,” referring to Atkinson and Andy Hertzfeld, two key writers of the Mac’s software. Here’s what I wrote about the encounter in my book, Insanely Great:I met Bill Atkinson first. A tall fellow with unruly hair, a Pancho Villa moustache, and blazing blue eyes, he had the unnerving intensity of Bruce Dern in one of…
Shopping for tents you’ll quickly find yourself immersed in a world of unfamiliar terms, trying to decipher what it means that a DFC pyramid has a welded bathtub floor. Here’s our guide to the terms you need to understand.Single/Double Walled: A double walled tent is the most common, consisting of an inner tent (wall 1) and a rainfly (wall 2) between you and the elements. A single walled tent is, um, a single wall. The advantage of a single-walled tent is that it’s lighter. The advantage of a double walled tent is that condensation (usually) escapes to the outer wall…
The long-awaited Nintendo Switch 2 finally dropped this week, and while it makes a number of big improvements on its predecessor—things like a better screen, beefier internal specs, and more accessible controls—there is one thing it’s worse at. According to the repairability advocates and gleeful disassemblers at iFixit, it’s even harder to fix than the original Switch.Perhaps most worrying for new owners is that, despite a new “from the ground up” redesign for the Switch’s Joy-Con controllers, the root cause of stick drift—something that many owners of the original have long complained of—doesn’t seem to have been truly addressed in…
