Ever wondered how Arizona’s weather impacts road safety? It’s really very easy to assume most crashes happen because of distracted or careless drivers. But sometimes, nature plays its part too. Often in dangerous, unexpected ways. The weather of this area is really unpredictable and can be harsh, chaotic, and scary in the blink of an eye. But bad weather isn’t always responsible for an accident.

In the world of professional spirits reviews, “smooth” is something of a dirty word. Consumers, on the other hand, absolutely love to use it. The implication of “smooth” is simple; it suggests a product doesn’t hurt when you drink it. It’s such a sought-after quality that the distilling industry will do just about anything to achieve it. Some methods are respectable, like aging a whiskey for 15 years to file down its rough edges.

Threads is working on new features that could make the text-based social network a bit more audio-friendly. Starting today, Threads is rolling out some new features for sharing podcasts and podcast episodes. Creators have the option to add the link to their show to their bio page; after that, their posts with show and episode links will appear with an audio preview.

Refresh 2025-11-11T18:31:36.573Z Over and out It's time for the UK side of Live Science to retire for the day. Keep your eyes on the site for one more 3I/ATLAS update coming soon. And until tomorrow! 2025-11-11T18:07:11.167Z The reports of 3I/ATLAS's death are greatly exaggerated

Gemini is taking over Android, and it is a good-nay-great thing. Perhaps the best use of Gemini is as a replacement for Google Assistant. Considered the best digital helper at one time, Gemini absolutely wipes the floor with Google Assistant even considering the possibility that the LLM AI chatbox consumed some mushrooms and might hallucinate every now and then. You can take deep dives with Gemini into your queries and get the kind of answers that Google Assistant couldn't bring you.

A highly advanced AI-powered robot took a tumble in Russia during a technology presentation. Unfortunately for the robot and its creators, the fall happened while the Rocky theme song played, and it was all recorded and shared online. On November 11, AIdol showcased some AI-powered autonomous robots at the Yarovit Hall Congress Center in Moscow. Photos from the event posted by the…

For the first time, the Nike x Hyperice Hyperboot is on sale. The recovery boots are $200 off—normally $899, now $699—through December 1. They’re also HSA/FSA eligible. Normally, I'd point you toward the Normatec 3 Legs; they cost the same and offer more leg coverage, but at this discounted price, the Hyperice Hyperboot's portability and comfort are a hard deal to pass up.

Recently, Apple and Samsung have begun diverging in how they approach their flagship smartphones. While the Galaxy S25 Ultra once again slimmed down compared to its predecessor, the iPhone 17 Pro was actually thicker than the iPhone 16 Pro. Apple will reportedly (translated source) continue this trend next year with the iPhone 18 Pro Max, likely trying to squeeze in an even bigger battery than the one found inside the iPhone 17 Pro Max.

Two-player games are great. Co-op games are great. What about both!? In Sky Team, two players represent a pilot and co-pilot trying to land a plane — and let me tell you, after a couple of rounds, you'll understand why some people applaud after landing. Each round, you'll both roll four dice and assign them to tasks in the cockpit.

Television and internet ads regularly extol the classic beauty of gold jewelry and dazzling shine of cut gemstones. While we're all familiar with the precious gems — diamonds, sapphires, rubies and emeralds — there are hundreds more semiprecious gemstones, according to the International Gem Society. And sometimes even organic materials that are made into jewelry (like pearls) are considered gemstones.

I lose again in Hades II.  Damn.  I wake up in the same dim corner of the Crossroads, staring at the same painting. Melinoë as a baby, held by her mother Persephone. Her brother Zagreus beside them. Hades smiling down, the whole family together with the serenity of a dream you wake up forgetting.  The game gives me one prompt: “Brood.” 

Samsung has been using the same 5,000 mAh battery across its Galaxy flagships for so long that I had basically given up hoping for something better. If anyone was thinking of going for a Galaxy S25 Ultra or similar, I’d let them know that they’d be stuck with a battery from half a decade ago. While no news about Samsung increasing the battery capacity for the Galaxy S26 phones has surfaced, other exciting reports paint a very promising picture.

While Netflix seemingly led the way for other streaming networks to create compelling original programming, Hulu actually beat them all to the punch. In 2011, a year before Netflix’s Lilyhammer and two years before the arrival of House of Cards, the burgeoning streamer premiered The Morning After, a pop-culture-focused news show that ran for 800 episodes over three years.

Lego has a long history of geek and gaming crossovers. We've seen recent sets for Star Wars and Star Trek, while past collaborations include everything from Super Mario Bros. to Minecraft. The latest blocky tie-in is a classic: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, as teased on social network X by Nintendo of America with the caption “Do you realize who you’re dealing with?”

Astronomers have detected the first-ever "radio signal" coming from the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS, right as it passed the halfway mark on its oneway trip through the solar system. And while this may seem like ostensible proof of the comet’s supposed alien origins — it's actually the complete opposite. 3I/ATLAS is the third-known interstellar object (ISO) to pass through our cosmic neighborhood.

You probably heard the big news about Grand Theft Auto 6 last week: Rockstar’s open-world crime drama has been delayed until November of next year. However, that was not the only major GTA 6-related bomb that dropped. The studio also fired a few dozen workers for “gross misconduct,” including what Rockstar claims was the public leaking of company secrets. Now, the affected developers are organizing with in-person protests, and preparing for a possible legal battle if Rockstar doesn’t reinstate their jobs.

This year, after multiple generations of using almost the exact same design, Apple decided to redesign the iPhone 17 Pro and the iPhone 17 Pro Max. Understandably, not everyone was a fan of the new design, which is why the company is reportedly changing things up for the iPhone 18 Pro next year. iPhone 18 Pro to minimize rear color difference…

Lumines Arise, the latest chapter in the popular puzzle game franchise, is out today. It's available for PlayStation 5, including on PlayStation VR2, and on Steam, with support for both VR and Steam Deck. I'm a bit of a Tetris fiend. If there's any game with falling and spinning geometric pieces, be they tetrominoes or pills or puyos, I am here for it.

Thirty-eight years later, The Running Man is back on our screens, playing to a world that seems to have caught up with the original’s idiocy. This new one features a considerably less bulky, but no less watchable star in Glen Powell, playing runner Ben Richards. Fired from various jobs for insubordination, and tending to a sick toddler, he’s press-ganged into joining America’s favorite kill-or-be-killed game show, after a producer identifies him as “quantifiably the angriest man to ever audition.”

Googles November Pixel Drop is here, and it's rolling out to supported Pixel phones starting today. This update is packed with AI-powered features for messaging, photo editing, and security, though some of the best ones are reserved for the newest phones. What's new in the November Pixel Drop? Google has announced its November 2025 Pixel Drop, which begins to roll out today, and continuing its tradition of adding new capabilities to its lineup of phones.

Scientists have identified three new toad species that give birth to live "toadlets" rather than laying eggs. All three species are part of the Nectophrynoides genus, also known as "tree toads," which is a group known for birthing live baby toads that skip the tadpole stage. Previously thought to be one species with a large population and habitat range, these smaller, more fragmented species may require additional conservation measures, researchers wrote in a new study.

One year ago this week, Sony launched one of its most expensive video game consoles ever: the PlayStation 5 Pro. The company promised improved performance and visuals over the standard PS5 as well as DLSS-like upscaling. And while some games definitely benefit from the power, I’ve mostly forgotten I even own a PS5 Pro. When Sony announced the PlayStation 5 Pro last year, it received a mixed reception.

Nintendo and The Pokémon Company are trying something a little different with Pokémon Pokopia. It’s a life sim game in the vein of Animal Crossing. Nintendo unveiled the game during a Direct in September, saying that it would arrive in spring 2026. Now, the company has revealed that Pokémon Pokopia will hit Nintendo Switch 2 on March 5. There’s no new trailer for the game just yet — you’ll have to wait until Thursday, November 13 for that.

While the Beats Pill used to be a common sight around parties and campfires, it slowly fell out of favor as bluetooth speakers with better battery life and more advanced features hit the scene. In 2024, Apple decided to update the Pill, and it was a big jump in terms of catching up, or even passing the competition. That updated model, with bigger sound, more longevity, and a raft of mobile-focused features, is marked down by $50 at both Amazon and Best Buy, bringing the price down to just $100.

Samsung is yet to reveal the Galaxy S26 lineup, but it is apparently already thinking about its successor. After hearing that it may feature a new face unlock system, now we have a rumor about the chipset of the Galaxy S27 Ultra, and you’re probably not going to like it. Galaxy S27 Ultra may feature an Exynos chip Samsung’s semiconductor division may be making meaningful progress with the development and production of the Exynos chips, which could lead to drastic changes for the Galaxy S27 Ultra.
