My phone is an ereader now I got a Kobo in 2016 after borrowing my mom's old one for a year before that. It probably is responsible for getting me reading again after high school. I used to be an avid reader, the sort of kid who would have to be told to put down the book and go to sleep, and who would then creep slowly to the bookshelf to pick it up again without arousing suspicion after the light had been turned out. I think I slowed my reading for fun as the work load of school increased, and

Hurricane category 6 could be introduced under new storm severity scale

news.ycombinator.com Sascha Pare 2025-10-29 23:53:39

Hurricane Florence made landfall in South Carolina in September 2018. It was a Category 1 hurricane, but the devastating flooding that followed killed 55 people. A new hurricane categorization system could help people better prepare for storms by incorporating risks from storm surges and rainfall into the categories, a study published this month reveals. Storm surges — elevated seawater levels near coasts — and rainfall cause almost 80% of hurricane deaths, yet they are not accounted for in th

‘Injustice 3’ is Coming—What Will DC Do With It?

gizmodo.com Justin Carter 2025-10-29 21:00:02

Nearly 10 years ago, NetherRealm released Injustice 2, the second game in its DC superhero fighting series. (And it’s the third superhero fighting game, beginning with 2008’s Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe.) After continuing and rebooting the story of Mortal Kombat, it seems NetherRealm is going back to superheroic punch-ups, as Green Lantern and Aquaman voice actor Phil LaMaar reportedly told a fan at a recent convention a third game is happening.

Scammers Will Try to Trick You Into Filling Out Google Forms. Don’t Fall for It

wired.com David Nield 2025-10-29 11:30:00

One of the lesser-known apps in the Google Drive online suite is Google Forms. It's an easy, intuitive way to create a web form for other people to enter information into. You can use it for employee surveys, for organizing social gatherings, for giving people a way to contact you, and much more. But Google Forms can also be used for malicious purposes. These forms can be created in minutes, with clean and clear formatting, official-looking images and video, and—most importantly of all—a genuin
