You can now spend $25 on a nap, thanks to Casper(图1)

There are few resources in this world more valuable than sleep — and it looks like mattress startup Casper has found a way to cash in on everyone's obsession with getting a little more shut-eye.

Casper opened the doors to The Dreamery, its new facility offering customers "nap sessions" for $25 a pop, on Wednesday.

What's a nap session, exactly? You'll get 45 minutes of uninterrupted time in a "Casper Nook." The Nook, according to Racked(opens in a new tab), contains a Casper mattress decked out with Casper bedding as well as designer pajamas, socks, and an eye mask — fresh for every napper, of course. Also included: free beverages, a toothbrush set, face wash, and relaxing sleep sounds courtesy of Headspace.

The Dreamery is located in New York City's SoHo neighborhood, and booking a nap session on The Dreamery's website(opens in a new tab) is dangerously easy. Like, Seamless-level easy.

“A lot of people need a break but don’t have a place for it, whether they’ve taken the red-eye and need a place to crash, or are far minutes away from home and need to settle down for a bit during a 14-hour work day,” Eleanor Morgan, Casper's senior vice president of experience, told Racked. “We’re passionate about creating a cultural movement around sleep, and we think a lot about how to give people different ways to rest and recharge.”

The Dreamery is built around the notion that everyone needs a little R&R throughout the day and is more than entitled to it. Well, for a nominal fee anyway.

As I sip on my second caffeinated beverage of the day, I do see the appeal of naps on demand. But here's the thing: Naps are free and they should remain so.

While an expertly executed branding endeavor will surely pique the interest of sleepy millennials everywhere, the monetization of naps is just plain weird. Promising people the chance to recharge with a nap à la carte feels like another lame attempt to capitalize on wellness and self-care trends.

Peace of mind and rest aren't things you can truly purchase, no matter what Casper says. You're better off saving your $25 for something worthwhile, and doing your best to get a full eight hours of sleep each night.

Woman loses $450,000 in pig butchering romance scam
Woman loses $450,000 in pig butchering romance scam
Romance scams are unfortunately common. Swindlers gain people's trust by pretending to date them online, and Americans have lost millions of dollars as a result. One woman in Philadelphia recently lost hundreds of thousands to a lesser-known hoax.
In addition to "classic" scenarios like military scams and oil rig scams, there's another to look out for: "pig butchering,"(opens in a new tab) a cryptocurrency investment scam. Similarly to other romance scams, perpetrators of pig butchering play the long game with their victims, earning their trust over months. Eventually, scammers ask victims to start investing with fraudulent crypto platforms; the victims' money actually goes to cryptocurrency accounts and addresses controlled by the scammers.
The name comes from a loose Chinese translation, where the scam is thought to have originated. Last month, the Department of Justice seized over $112 million(opens in a new tab) linked to pig butchering.
"The victims in Pig Butchering schemes are referred to as 'pigs' by the scammers because the scammers will use elaborate storylines to 'fatten up' victims into believing they are in a romantic or otherwise close personal relationship," stated an affidavit in support of a seizure warrant concerning these schemes in Los Angeles, as shared by the Department of Justice. "Once the victim places enough trust in the scammer, the scammer brings the victim into a cryptocurrency investment scheme."

Shreya Datta, a victim of pig butchering(opens in a new tab), lost $450,000 due to the scheme, reported The Philadelphia Inquirer. She met a man who claimed to be a French wine trader on Hinge, and soon he encouraged her to invest in crypto. She downloaded a SoFi crypto trading app that appeared to be legitimate, then converted $1,000 to crypto on Coinbase before sending it to SoFi. Months later, the scammer loaned her $150,000 and kept encouraging her to invest more money. Soon, Datta invested $450,000.
Her investment seemed to have doubled, but when Datta tried to take the money out, the app asked her to pay a 10 percent personal income tax. Suspicious, she called her brother, a lawyer, and with the help of a private investigator, they learned that the French wine trader wasn't who he said he was. They also learned that the SoFi trading app was illegitimate. Coinbase froze her account, saying Datta may have sent money to a fraudulent platform.

From there, Datta spotted the red flags, like how he never wanted to meet and made unusual references to China. Since learning that she was scammed, Datta started therapy and joined a support group for romance scam victims. The Inquirer reported that she has a high-paying job and her family was able to pay her debt. Still, she's had to deal with the shame of being a victim.
Avoid romance scams like pig butchering by spotting red flags early: If they will never meet in person or over video; if they're quick to ask for personal or banking information; and if they ask for money. Never send money to someone you haven't met in-person.
New low power mode could turn Apple Watch into a real sports watch
New low power mode could turn Apple Watch into a real sports watch
This fall, Apple might finally have a product it never had before: A real sports watch with decent battery life.
Over the weekend, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman(Opens in a new tab) shared a few more details about the upcoming Apple Watch Pro (a probable name). According to his sources, the new version of the Watch will have a larger, more shatter-resistant display, better battery life, a bigger, more rugged case made out of a premium material, and features such as enhanced hiking and swim tracking.
All of this sounds like Apple is preparing a competitor for Garmin's popular Fenix(Opens in a new tab) wearables, which are bulky, rugged, powerful, and can track every sports activity known to man. They've got tons of battery life, making them ideal for very long activities like marathon running, Ironman triathlon, or hiking. They're also the weapon of choice for adventurer types, who prefer not having to worry about charging their watch while on a multi-day mountain trip.
Garmin's devices are highly specialized, but Apple Watch actually does a decent job in tracking sports activities too – DC Rainmaker(Opens in a new tab), run by a man who tests wearables in extreme detail, has some data on that.
The big question about the Apple Watch Pro, however, is the battery life. Sure, Apple can put a slightly bigger battery into its larger case, but will it be enough to match the battery life on Garmin's products, which is often measured in weeks?
My answer would normally be no. My Apple Watch 6 has a one, maybe one-and-a-half day battery life, and no matter what I did with it, I couldn't squeeze much more out of it. Surprisingly, compared to normal usage, my Watch doesn't bleed that much more battery life during activities such as running. Still, on days when I did workouts, I'd typically be in the red by evening time.

Garmin Fenix 7 has up to 22 days of battery life. We'll see if Apple's Watch Pro can come anywhere near that. Credit: Garmin

But Gurman also mentioned an almost-forgotten feature Apple has reportedly been working on(Opens in a new tab) since April at least – Low Power Mode. Yes, the Apple Watch already has a Power Reserve mode, but it's next to useless, as the Watch can only show you the time when in Power Reserve state (and it does that painfully slowly).
The new Low Power mode, Gurman says, would let the watch run some apps and features without using as much battery life. Other details are absent, but the Low Power Mode sounds like exactly the kick Apple Watch needs to become a true Garmin watch competitor. A combination of a bigger battery and a dedicated mode of operation that saves battery life and lets you track sports activities at the same time could extend the Watch's battery just enough for an Ironman, or a multi-day hike.
I still have my doubts as to whether the new Apple Watch Pro will match the battery life of dedicated sports watches. And we don't know what kind of apps and features Apple will let us run while in Low Power mode. But if done correctly, it might make the Apple Watch Pro just compelling enough to chew off a chunk of Garmin's hefty market share(Opens in a new tab) in the smartwatch premium segment.
Technoblade, Minecraft YouTube creator, dies aged 23
Technoblade, Minecraft YouTube creator, dies aged 23
Technoblade, top Minecraft YouTuber, has died aged 23 following a battle with cancer.
The creator's father posted a moving video on YouTube on Thursday titled "so long nerds," with a message written by Technoblade himself. The video had been planned with his family over his final months, but was written by Technoblade about eight hours before he died, his father said. In the message, he revealed his real name: Alex.
"Hello everyone, Technoblade here. If you’re watching this. I am dead," he wrote in the message, read by his father. "Thank you all for supporting my content over the years. If I had another hundred lives, I think I would choose to be Technoblade again every single time as those were the happiest years of my life."

In the video, his father said, "He was the most amazing kid anyone could ever ask for. I miss Technoblade."
Technoblade, who has 10.8 million followers on YouTube, told them of his cancer diagnosis on the platform in August 2021(Opens in a new tab).
Technoblade's family posted a statement(Opens in a new tab) that appeared at the end of the video on Thursday.
"We, the family of Technoblade, wanted you all to know just how much he adored and respected his fans and colleagues. From Technoblade's earliest online days, he was always strategizing ways to delight and reward his audience," it read.
"Even after his eventual successes he somehow managed to keep his good-natured humility, competing with an endearing balance between his confidence and self-deprecating with. He avoided personal fame and worked hard to keep his true identity confidential, and we ask you to honor his wishes to protect his privacy and the privacy of his family."
Technoblade’s online store(Opens in a new tab) also has a message paying tribute to him, explaining that a portion of proceeds from online orders will be donated to the Sarcoma Foundation of America(Opens in a new tab). "This online store is being run by Technoblade’s family. We know how much joy he has spread over the years and we want to make sure we continue spreading his message," it reads.
Among the products in the store is now a black T-shirt(Opens in a new tab) for sale with the words, "so long nerds," followed by "Alexander 'Technoblade'" and "1999-2022" underneath.
Technoblade's friends and fans have posted further truly moving tributes to him online. Some are fellow creators and collaborators, while others have watched the YouTuber for years.

Turtle sex videos, ranked
Turtle sex videos, ranked
May 23 is World Turtle Day.
On this of all days, we celebrate turtles -- and we especially celebrate turtles making more turtles, so we can, in turn, celebrate those new turtles.
Following that logic, we should celebrate turtle sex. Specifically, we should celebrate by ranking YouTube videos of turtles having sex. There are a surprisingly large number of them.
Now, let's be clear, the purpose of this ranking is not to shame any of these turtles for having lesser sex. All turtle sex is good sex because, as outlined above, it is making more turtles.
7. The basic

Nothing wrong with being basic. Here you have two turtles simply enjoying each other's company.
6. The cuck

Turtle sex isn't always so emotionally uncomplicated. Take this unfolding drama in which a jealous rival interrupts a sensual moment in a romantic zoo setting.
5. The scream of lust

This mighty goliath knows how to show his lady he's having a blast: by screaming in her ear and flailing his limbs around wildly.
Good vid.
4. The orgy

Why not share the fun? Turtles don't seem to have hang-ups.
3. The sneaker

Further proving that turtles don't have hang-ups, here's a feisty boy who has no shame in using accessories for his pleasure.
2. The croc

Here's a turtle having sex with another shoe, but it's a Croc, which makes the whole scene infinitely more interesting. Go get 'em, little buddy.
1. The honesty

And here is the best video of turtle sex on the internet, featuring this beautifully honest soul who will gladly share his inner-most thoughts on breeding. He knows how important this act is.

With the the Muse S, you can meditate until you doze off
With the the Muse S, you can meditate until you doze off
Every night, I go to bed after popping a melatonin gummy(Opens in a new tab) and blasting the "Baby Sleep Aid: Rain Sounds" playlist(Opens in a new tab) on Spotify.
But the Muse S has me rethinking my entire routine.
The company debuted its latest meditation wearable at this year's CES. And this time, it's a lot more comfortable than its previous versions.
At $349.99, the Muse S packs an accelerometer, an EEG, a gyroscope, and a heart rate monitor. At 10 hours, it also has double the battery life of both headbands that came before it.
For those unfamiliar with Muse, all of its headbands come equipped with sensors for guided meditations with real-time feedback depending on your movement, breathing, heart rate, and mental activity.
But unlike its predecessors, the Muse and the Muse 2, the latest iteration is made of a soft fabric that wraps entirely around your head. It basically looks and feels more like a sweat band you'd wear during a workout. (Thankfully, there is zero physical exercise required while wearing this thing.)

The device packs a ton of different sensors to help you reach zen mode. Credit: muse

It's extra cozy because it's designed to be worn in bed. But those of you who have only just started seeing your significant other might want to hold off before introducing this thing in the bedroom. I couldn't help but think how great it'd look with my retainer, though.
Anyways. Muse found that a lot of its users would meditate using one of the original headsets before going to sleep, but by the time their heads hit the pillow, the zen vibes were gone.
But with the Muse S, you can doze off into a dreamy wonderland filled with rainbows and unicorns and sweet, sweet lullabies. No more uncomfortable plastic crushing under the weight of your skull to keep you up.
Drifting off post meditation isn't the only reason behind the redesign. Its flexibility also means it can fit a wider variety of head sizes.
The Muse S also comes with content exclusive to the wearable called "Go-to-Sleep Journeys." Don't worry, it won't sound anything like Bethenny Frankel on that one episode(Opens in a new tab) of The Real Housewives of New York City. But we can all agree that'd be pretty entertaining.

The soft band makes it more comfortable to wear while laying down. Credit: Muse

A first for Muse, the sessions combine voice-guided meditation and soundscapes to help put you into a relaxing mindset for a deep and refreshing sleep.
You know, rather than squeezing your eyes shut while also thinking about all the things you have to get done at work the next day or whether your crush is going to text you back or that you still have to go grocery shopping and, well, OK I'll stop now.
While at a demo in New York City, I had trouble calibrating the headband, apparently because my hair is too thick. I technically didn't get the full experience, and people with thick hair may want to keep that in mind before purchasing.
But the company did play a demo out loud for us. Essentially, the session consisted of a soothing voice coupled with waves playing in the background. Meanwhile, you're prompted to control your heart rate and breathing — hopefully easing you into a peaceful state.
The Mashable team is currently testing the headbands out while at CES. Hopefully, I'll finally be able to get it to work for me.

Care facility gets through isolation with a game of life-sized Hungry Hungry Hippos
Seniors in an assisted living facility are cheering themselves up during social distancing with a game of human-sized Hungry Hungry Hippos.
As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, a majority of society has been forced indoors to limit the spread of the novel coronavirus. Social distancing can be incredibly isolating, especially for those who are already vulnerable.
One nursing home is combating the loneliness by engaging its residents in life-size board games. Bryn Celyn Care Home in Wales attached baskets to long poles, set out a pile of ball pit balls, and had their wheelchair-bound residents act as the "hippos" for a giant version of Hungry Hungry Hippos.
Here's a video of the wholesome game that the home posted on Facebook on Thursday.

If you happen to be in South Wales and enjoy a good game of Hungry Hungry Hippos, BBC journalist Catrin Nye noted that the care facility is hiring roles in caring for residents.

Quordle today: Here are the answers and hints for November 7
Quordle today: Here are the answers and hints for November 7
The weekend has ended once again, but Quordle doesn't care how much free time you have. It's a tough one today, and it's taking players a while to solve.
If Quordle is a little too challenging today, you've come to the right place for hints. There aren't just hints here, but the whole Quordle solution. Scroll to the bottom of this page, and there it is. But are you sure you need all four answers? Maybe you just need a strategy guide. Either way, scroll down, and you'll get what you need.
What is Quordle?
Quordle is a five-letter word guessing game similar to Wordle, except each guess applies letters to four words at the same time. You get nine guesses instead of six to correctly guess all four words. It looks like playing four Wordle games at the same time, and that is essentially what it is. But it's not nearly as intimidating as it sounds.
Is Quordle harder than Wordle?
Yes, though not diabolically so.
Where did Quordle come from?
Amid the Wordle boom of late 2021 and early 2022, when everyone was learning to love free, in-browser, once-a-day word guessing games, creator Freddie Meyer says he took inspiration from one of the first big Wordle variations, Dordle — the one where you essentially play two Wordles at once. He took things up a notch, and released Quordle on January 30(Opens in a new tab). Meyer's creation was covered in The Guardian(Opens in a new tab) six days later, and now, according to Meyer, it attracts millions of daily users. Today, Meyer earns modest revenue(Opens in a new tab) from Patreon, where dedicated Quordle fans can donate to keep their favorite puzzle game running.
How is Quordle pronounced?
“Kwordle.” It should rhyme with “Wordle,” and definitely should not be pronounced exactly like "curdle.”
Is Quordle strategy different from Wordle?
Yes and no.
Your starting strategy should be the same as with Wordle. In fact, if you have a favorite Wordle opening word, there’s no reason to change that here. We suggest something rich in vowels, featuring common letters like C, R, and N. But you do you.
After your first guess, however, you’ll notice things getting out of control if you play Quordle exactly like Wordle.
What should I do in Quordle that I don’t do in Wordle?
Solving a Wordle puzzle can famously come down to a series of single letter-change variations. If you’ve narrowed it down to “-IGHT,” you could guess “MIGHT” “NIGHT” “LIGHT” and “SIGHT” and one of those will probably be the solution — though this is also a famous way to end up losing in Wordle, particularly if you play on “hard mode.” In Quordle, however, this sort of single-letter winnowing is a deadly trap, and it hints at the important strategic difference between Wordle and Quordle: In Quordle, you can't afford to waste guesses unless you're eliminating as many letters as possible at all times.
Guessing a completely random word that you already know isn't the solution, just to eliminate three or four possible letters you haven’t tried yet, is thought of as a desperate, latch-ditch move in Wordle. In Quordle, however, it's a normal part of the player's strategic toolset.
Is there a way to get the answer faster?
In my experience Quordle can be a slow game, sometimes dragging out longer than it would take to play Wordle four times. But a sort of blunt-force guessing approach can speed things up. The following strategy also works with Wordle if you only want the solution, and don’t care about having the fewest possible guesses:
Try starting with a series of words that puts all the vowels (including Y) on the board, along with some other common letters. We've had good luck with the three words: “NOTES,” “ACRID,” and “LUMPY.” YouTuber DougMansLand(Opens in a new tab) suggests four words: “CANOE,” “SKIRT,” “PLUMB,” and “FUDGY.”
Most of the alphabet is now eliminated, and you’ll only have the ability to make one or two wrong guesses if you use this strategy. But in most cases you’ll have all the information you need to guess the remaining words without any wrong guesses.
If strategy isn't helping, and you're still stumped, here are some hints:
Are there any double or triple letters in today’s Quordle words?
One word has a letter that occurs twice.
Are any rare letters being used in today’s Quordle like Q or Z?
No.
What do today’s Quordle words start with?
D, S, G, and C.
What are the answers for today’s Quordle?
Are you sure you want to know?
There’s still time to turn back.
OK, you asked for it. The answers are:
1. DOUGH
2. SPORT
3. GRACE
4. CIRCA

However, it turns out the eccentric guy is not officially appointed by the Queen, nor is he a real town crier. His real name is Tony Appleton, from Romford, east London, and he's been making royal announcements for years, bell and scroll on hand.
In 2013, he fooled prominent American broadcasters(opens in a new tab) including Rachel Maddow and Anderson Cooper when he announced the birth of Prince William and Kate's firstborn, Prince George, outside St. Mary's Hospital.
