How to Build a Functional Smart Home When You’ll Never Own a House Yourself

Ah, yes, the American dream. A house with a white picket fence, a dog, and as many products as you can pile into a pickup truck that you paid for in cash, which I’m told is a type of green paper you can exchange for goods and services.

Myanmar’s Devastating Earthquake in March Split the Earth at ‘Supershear Velocity’

gizmodo.com Margherita Bassi 2026-01-11 08:00:27

On March 28, Myanmar was rocked by a 7.8 magnitude earthquake that claimed over 5,000 lives and caused damage even in neighboring countries. In a study published July 10 in The Seismic Record, seismologists confirmed previous research indicating that the southern part of the large earthquake’s rupture, or fracture, took place at astounding speeds of up to between 3.1 and 3.7 miles per second (5 to 6 kilometers per second)—at supershear velocity.
