Finding the app’s websiteFinding the download for MacDownloading the app, typically in a DMG archiveOpening the DMG archive after the download finishesDragging the app icon from the mounted archive to the applications folder Nothing about this is difficult, but it is time-consuming. Imagine if instead you could type three words, hit enter, and let your computer do everything for you. This is possible, thanks to Homebrew, a program that will let you install almost any application you can think of by typing “brew install” followed by the name of the app....

What’s the problem? Throughout adolescence, I dealt with body odor like every other teen boy: using a bafflingly all-inclusive body wash combo product and whatever antiperspirant deodorant was most heavily marketed to my insecurities. This never worked quite right—we’re all familiar with the public bathroom aroma of powerfully perfumed cleaning agents trying to overpower an undertone of residual stink. The problem was that I considered “not smelling bad” and “smelling good” as the same process....

If being hairless on certain parts of your anatomy brings you joy and going to a salon isn’t an option, sugaring at home is a cheap and easy way to do DIY hair removal, and is a lovely alternative to razor burn and store bought wax strips. This hair removal method was likely invented thousands of years ago near Ancient Persia, and it’s still popular across the Middle East and Mediterranean....

How to transcribe recordings in Microsoft Word To get started, head to Office.com in Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome. This is important: Microsoft says other browsers are not currently supported, and I couldn’t find the feature in Safari. Log into your Microsoft 365 account and create a new Word document. Click the three dots at the end of the Home row. Hover over Dictate, then click Transcribe. A quick distinction: we’ve talked about setting up voice dictation in the past, but this isn’t that....

While you may be accustomed to seeing turtles in your local ponds and parks, wild tortoise sightings are usually rarer. But depending on where you live, you still may be able to catch a glimpse of these majestic reptiles. With a little effort and a lot of patience, you can make your property a prime spot for tortoise visitors. Berlandier’s tortoise Also called the Texas Tortoise, this beauty is mostly found in the southernmost point of Texas....

Introduced at the end of August, this analytical tool rests within the left-hand sidebar when viewing GCal on a computer—you won’t see it in the app. It takes up a mere five lines (one if you’ve somehow minimized it), so it’s possible to overlook if you’re not constantly poring over your schedule or only work out of the Android or iOS app. Whether you’ve noticed it or not, understanding how it works may help you better structure your day....

iMessage, Apple’s default messaging app — the green one with the word bubble labeled “Messages” on your home screen— has a ton of new updates in iOS 10. You access many of the new functions by engaging with the commands directly above the keyboard in the messaging app. It allows you to share music from Apple Music, send stickers and games, send drawings, and even send everyone’s favorite method of communication: animated GIFs....

Like many of my colleagues working for the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO), the morning of Monday, September 14, 2015 caught me completely off-guard. For years, we’ve been joking that Advanced LIGO would be so sensitive we might just detect one the very first day it turns on. In retrospect, it’s remarkable how close to reality that joke turned out to be. LIGO is listening for gravitational waves – one of the last unproven predictions of Einstein’s theory of general relativity....

The discovery of the human remains was first reported by Jo Marchant in an article in Nature. As Marchant reports, we don’t know much about the person whose bones they are, but we may soon, thanks to advances in DNA technology. It isn’t the first skeleton discovered at the site. Back in the 1970s, ocean explorer Jacques-Yves Cousteau and his crew found human remains as they excavated the site. Research on the site started even earlier than that, when sponge divers from Greece located and began salvaging artifacts from the wreck in 1900....

Defining autonomy and just how autonomous is “fully autonomous” makes this a difficult issue to talk about in regulatory terms, much less to ban outright under internationally recognized rules of war. PhysOrg

Our beliefs about human nature shape almost everything we do as a society. Theories about whether some people are innately good or evil influence whom we imprison and for how long. Theories about whether some groups of people are more worthy than others influence our economic policies. Theories about whether some people are born smarter than others, and what this intelligence looks like, influence how we teach our children. Arguably, no folk theory of human nature has done more harm—or is more mistaken—than the “survival of the fittest....

This is just one early example of events we will encounter more and more often as the hot new world we are creating slowly destroys ecosystems and livelihoods. But acknowledging the growing emotional trauma and grief felt at present and future environmental tragedies may yet be the kick we need to limit their reach. Grief radically differs in its logic from ordinary sadness over a loss. If sadness is the response to the removal of an object from the tablecloth that represents a person’s lived world, grief results from loss that tears the very fabric of that cloth....

Why give fossils their own day? And what even is a fossil? Put very simply, a fossil is the remains of a living organism preserved naturally for a long time. The ways a fossil is preserved can vary dramatically, but typically we think of bones that were quickly buried by sediments like dirt and other rocks, and eventually became part of a new rock formation years down the line. Certain rock formations, like the Burgess Shale yield thousands of fossils every year....

Movement and its relation to our body and health is the cousin of nutrition. It can be so deeply rooted in diet culture, yet is an important part of our lives, and likely an aspect of some of your children’s favorite activities. Movement for kids and adults is ideally about having fun and developing new skills—never about losing weight or burning calories. When it’s not fun—it won’t be for everyone—it may be an intentional choice to support physical strength, rehabilitation, mental health, or skill-building....

From a hardware standpoint, the new iPad Pro isn’t wildly different from the previous version that debuted back in 2018. The processor has moved up from the A12X Bionic to the A12Z Bionic. As those cryptic but incremental names suggest, this isn’t a revolution in terms of silicon. In reality, though, it didn’t need much of a speed bump anyway. On the new iPad Pro, apps load quickly, intensive programs like Lightroom feel snappy, and it generally seems like it can handle whatever task you ask of it....

It’s become clear in recent years that electric vehicles are the future of the automobile industry—a good thing if you care about winning the fight against climate change. General Motors plans to stop producing gasoline-powered cars by 2035. Volvo plans to go all-electric by 2030, and Jaguar will be doing the same by 2025. Buying an electric car instead of a gasoline-powered car is a good way to help fight climate change, but what if you already have a gasoline-powered car that’s working perfectly fine?...

We should start by noting that US Swimming has made it quite clear that the ban of Phelps has nothing do with performance enhancement (not much to enhance) and everything to do with serving as the morality police. “This is not a situation where any anti-doping rule was violated, but we decided to send a strong message to Michael because he disappointed so many people, particularly the hundreds of thousands of USA Swimming member kids who look up to him as a role model and a hero,” the Colorado Springs-based federation said in a statement....

Laënnec would have no doubt welcomed the news reported in Popular Science’s July 1921 issue: “Physicians in New York City may now listen to their patients’ hearts in San Francisco.” A palm-sized transmitter was connected via vacuum tubes and telephone lines to a remote phonograph so that “the heartbeats of a patient may be loud enough to be heard throughout a large auditorium,” a tech Telephony magazine said was initially developed at the US Army’s Signal Corps lab presumably to monitor soldiers....
