The Best Cooling Sheets (2025): Brooklinen, Slumber Cloud, Buffy

wired.com Nena Farrell 2025-11-17 00:36:00

There's a lot of terminology thrown around in the world of cooling sheets and cooling mattresses. Temperature regulating! Airflow! Moisture wicking! Phase-change material! Most of the time, these features come back to how breathable the sheets are. Breathability means moisture can better evaporate, and “temperature-regulating” usually means the sheets are breathable enough to release the heat and moisture from your body. What makes sheets breathable? Cotton, flax linen, and bamboo have great br

Shamelessness as a strategy (2019)

Shamelessness as a strategy I’ve enjoyed playing a game called Avalon recently. I won’t go too far into the rules, but it’s a hidden role game in the vein of Secret Hitler or Werewolf, where one team is “good”, trying to uncover who among them is “evil”, before the evil team wins. One of the characters you can play is Merlin. Merlin knows who the evil players are, but can’t reveal what he knows, because the evil team can kill Merlin and win the game. So Merlin relies on another character, Perc

Nobody really understands how TPUs work…and neither do we! So we wanted to make this because we wanted to take a shot and try to guess how it works–from the perspective of complete novices! We wanted to do something very challenging to prove to ourselves that we can do anything we put our mind to. The reasoning for why we chose to build a TPU specifically is fairly simple: None of us have real professional experience in hardware design, which, in a way, made the TPU even more appealing since w

McDonaldland shake ever since, because that would make me sound truly bizarre, but...I have pondered it. When I tasted the shake, I guessed it was maybe blue raspberry, maybe cotton candy, maybe mixed berry. It's sweet but not sickeningly so, though I'd never order it again. (I'm a chocolate fan.)
