With The Handmaid’s Tale wrapping up after six seasons, fans are now looking forward to sequel series The Testaments. It will have a new cast aside from Ann Dowd’s returning Aunt Lydia, but the creative forces behind both shows teased earlier this week that some other familiar faces could return. One that will not, however: Samira Wiley’s Moira. This comes from the actress herself, who admitted in a new interview that she’s quite ready to move on. “I wish I could tease and say ‘maybe,’ but that

I've observed that the electrification of any product brings with it a higher price for interested buyers. Case in point, everything from cars to bikes to coolers, once electrified, costs a lot more than their legacy counterparts. With that said, the benefits of a tool powered by electricity can't be understated. With that said, if you're planning camping trips this summer and need a new cooler, I've set out to test a "regular" icebox-style cooler against Anker's new Solix EverFrost 2 to see ho
