You Shouldn't Be Using Q-Tips in Your Ears. Here's How to Clean Your Ears the Right Way

Earwax is just a fact of life. We need it to protect the inner ear and lubricate the ear canal, though honestly, excess earwax can be annoying. Not only can it make it difficult to hear what's going on around you, but no one wants to find earwax on their earbuds. Cleaning your ears regularly is a part of personal hygiene, and how you do it can have a big impact on how clean your ears are. And you definitely don't want to get it wrong if you value your hearing. Many health care professionals adv

‘Ice Cubes in a Volcano’: Scientists Baffled by Mysterious Clouds in Center of the Milky Way

gizmodo.com Passant Rabie 2025-07-20 10:00:03

In the center of our galaxy, gigantic, balloon-like structures of high-energy radiation extend thousands of light-years above and below the Milky Way’s plane. Known as the Fermi bubbles, the massive lobes may have been the result of a violent outburst in our galaxy’s recent past. A new discovery of cold hydrogen clouds embedded inside the bubbles adds another level of mystery to the objects, suggesting they’re only a few million years old—practically brand-new, by cosmic standards.

Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse has been delayed yet again, only this time, it’s less of a problem and more of a recalibration. The third and final film in the Oscar-winning animated trilogy was originally supposed to be out in early 2024 but was then delayed all the way to June 4, 2027. Now, Sony has tweaked that further and moved the film back three more weeks to June 25, 2027. The reason for this move isn’t because production needs more time, however.

Whatever the characters “did last summer” has to be bad enough for someone to plausibly return a year later and try to kill them. It’s one of the things the 1997 original gets right.

The '90s were the heyday of techno-noir movies, flicks that combine the cynical atmosphere and jaded perspectives of film noir with the dystopian settings and altered reality of science fiction.
