NASA once tried to power a satellite with a 20-kilometer-long wire, which is basically the biggest space spaghetti ever cooked. The plan? Use Earth’s magnetic field to generate electricity. The result? A giant floating Space Noodle that snapped after just 19.7 km, lit up the sky, and re-entered the atmosphere in a blaze of pasta glory. On the bright side, it did make enough power to run three toasters at once. Humanity may not have conquered the galaxy that day… but we sure made the goofiest space experiment in history.

Spiders: Nature’s OP, Squishy Assassins Breaking the Game
Imagine if nature had patch notes, spiders would be the build everyone’s screaming to nerf. On paper, they’ve got squishy armor, meh stats, and the athleticism of a couch potato. But then they whip out their ultimate ability: web-spinning. Suddenly they’re air-dropping from ceilings, trapping enemies with sticky projectiles, bungee-jumping like action heroes, and building death fortresses in your backyard. Oh, and that venom? It’s basically “paralysis.exe” for anything that blunders too close.
Without silk, spiders are mid-tier. With silk? They’re nature’s top-tier griefers, breaking the game since forever.

Sony WH-1000XM6: Premium High-End Sound with Unmatched Noise Cancellation
Ever wished your headphones could transport you to another world? Sony’s latest WH-1000XM6 high-end headphones come impressively close! These aren’t just wireless headphones, they’re a finely tuned audio experience built for anyone who wants crisp, immersive sound, unmatched noise cancellation, and thoughtful design all in one. From bustling city streets to long flights, the WH-1000XM6 creates a personal sound sanctuary while delivering rich, detailed audio that rivals even high-end wired setups.
Compared to the WH-1000XM5, Sony has seriously improved the noise cancelling on this new model, jumping from eight microphones to twelve and pairing them with a faster chip. The result is an impressively quiet listening space, even in noisy environments. It’s so natural and effective that it puts them ahead of many well-known rivals, including Bose’s QuietComfort series.
Sound quality is where the WH-1000XM6 really shines. A built-in high-quality DAC (digital-to-analog converter) means they can pull more detail and clarity from your music than your phone’s audio hardware can manage. Even streaming services like Spotify sound fuller and more dynamic. With a 12-band equalizer, you can adjust the tone to fit your taste: whether you want bright, crisp highs for acoustic music or a warmer, bass-rich sound for electronic tracks.
Sony’s 360 Reality Audio adds another layer of immersion, making it feel like you’re in the middle of the music or right inside a movie scene. It’s perfect for film scores, live concerts, and gaming.
The design is practical and comfortable. They fold more neatly than before and come in a sturdier case that’s easy to pack. Controls are a mix of intuitive touch gestures and physical buttons, including a proper on/off switch that’s a welcome addition. They’re lightweight enough for all-day wear, making them ideal for long flights, workdays, or extended listening sessions at home.
The WH-1000XM6 blends high-end performance with real-world convenience, giving you great sound, excellent noise cancelling, and a design that works just as well on the go as it does at home. If you want a headphone that’s both premium and practical, this one’s hard to beat, especially now that they’re on sale for $428.00 USD (down from $449.99). It’s a small drop, but a great time to upgrade your listening!

Warning: Strong Language [Comic]
True story: When I was a sysadmin over a decade ago, I did a major “Oopsy” on a RAID array on a company server at 3 AM in the morning and could not remotely log into Windows anymore. Thank god for remote BIOS access through a conventional modem, I was able to get back in and rebuild the array through direct hardware access. That day, I lost all hair right on top of my head in a perfect 1-inch circle because of the stress.
That’s what can happen when you get “asked” to work 19 hours straight with almost no pauses.
