So when he talks about gas pump pay stations asking too many questions (would you like a car wash, what’s your zip code, do you floss), we’re watching. When he brings his wife coffee at work, we’re watching. When we discover that his guardian bobblehead is watching him, we laugh. Mack bobblehead dolls will be given to the first 3,000 fans coming to the DePaul game on Feb. 19. The kids among us won’t know who Rockwell was....

From September 15, an advanced chipset that powers its flagship devices, the Kirin, will run dry thanks to Trump administration sanctions from May, which banned global chip manufacturers from using U.S. technology to make components for Huawei.

The space rock, called 2016 AJ193, will fly past our planet on August 21 at around 11:10 a.m. EDT. When it does so, it will be traveling at a speed of around 26.1 kilometers every second—equivalent to more than 58,000 miles per hour, or roughly thirty times faster than a 5.56 NATO rifle bullet. NASA’s Center for Near Earth Object Studies (CNEOS) estimates that 2016 AJ193 is about 4,500 feet in diameter, but there is an uncertainty of about 1,300 feet either side of that figure....

Sunspot AR3089, which is facing towards the Earth, has now developed a delta-class magnetic field, meaning that it has built up enough energy that it may release X-class solar flares. According to National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), there is around a five percent chance that the sunspot will release an X-class flare. If it does, the flare may trigger a powerful geomagnetic storm in the Earth’s atmosphere, possibly resulting in damage to infrastructure and electromagnetic communication systems....

This can then lead to the use of chemical restraint as a solution. In other cases, facilities or individual representatives might have financial incentives to label children as having specific conditions and medicate the children in their care. Monitoring of children on psychotropic drugs is infrequent and often fails to follow professional guidelines....

The influx of travelers inflated hotel rates in 12 host cities up to 600%, The Guardian reported, and that forced many traveling fans to make alternate arrangements. Those who cannot afford to or refuse to pay the average going rate of $461 a night for a hotel are wrapping themselves in blankets and sleeping bags and camping out on Rio de Janiero’s Copacabana Beach instead. Many of the fans hail from different countries but share the same passion for soccer, voluntarily giving up shelter just for an opportunity to be around the sport they love....
