If you know a thing or two about coffee, you might find the other brands recommended here too lowbrow. But can you out-taste a coffee sommelier? Kloo's coffee concentrates are curated by such tasters, also known as “Q Graders,” and I couldn't stop saying “Wow” out loud while I tested the brand's offerings.

gizmodo.com Natalia Mesa 2025-07-20 10:55:56

Eighty years after the Trinity Test brought nuclear fallout to their communities, New Mexico residents living downstream of the test may finally be eligible for long-sought reparations. In the early hours of July 16, 1945, the U.S. Army detonated the world’s first atomic bomb as part of the Manhattan Project, near Alamogordo, New Mexico. Radioactive ash soon began to fall over large swaths of the surrounding regions. Since then, survivors of the U.S. federal government’s nuclear testing progra

Historically, I haven't been great about managing my stress and anxiety, so whenever I come across a video or article about cortisol imbalances, my interest is piqued.
