I’m at the pizza oven. I’m at the burger grill. I’m at the combination pizza oven and burger grill. Oh, and did I mention I’m also at the griddle? And at the, uh, gas burner? The new, hulking Cuisinart Propel+ 3-in-1 on my back patio is one of those unholy …

When I ran track in college (10 years ago, sigh), my team’s physical therapists were always pushing us to utilize any and all recovery tools, no matter how ridiculous they seemed to us college kids. We’d leave practice with protein shakes in each hand, our shins bulging with ice bags …

I’ve been an avid biker for as long as I can remember. As a kid, I’d cruise my BMX around town with friends all day during the summer, reveling in the freedom and autonomy that only comes from your own ride. Decades later, my introduction to the ebike scene has …
Read More »Staples Union & Scale Electric Standing Desk Review: Micro Movements
The desk height ranges from 25.5 to 51.1 inches, and the dual motors glide effortlessly up and down, and they’re not too loud. You’ll want to be careful when lowering it—there’s collision detection, and it successfully stopped the desk from crushing a stool after I put it underneath, but it …

That last part is the problem with the Edge: It has a paltry 3,900-mAh battery capacity. That’s the smallest of the Galaxy S25 series, 100 mAh smaller than the compact Galaxy S25. Samsung has made some smart optimizations to maximize the battery life of this small cell, but there’s only …
