chroming. Specialists elucidate this pattern. The new huffing for the younger generation is called chroming. Per Dr. Anthony Pizon, an emergency medicine professor and chief of the medical toxicology division at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, the dangerous practice is a means of getting high via inhaling hydrocarbons through the misuse of a variety of legal products, including permanent markers, aerosol deodorant, nail polish, metallic paint, computer duster, carburetor cleaner, paint thinners, gasoline, and hair spray. According to Pizon, the name originates from the remnant of chrome or metallic paint that is left on one's face after breathing in metallic paints applied to a cloth. According to Dr. Betty Choi, a pediatrician and author of ‘Human Body Learning Lab: Take An Inside Tour of How Your Anatomy Works,’ common types of chroming entail breathing via the nose or mouth straight from the container or from a cloth or plastic bag soaked with the desired substance.

YouTubers, facing a surge in cyberattacks, are increasingly exploring cyber insurance to protect their businesses and digital assets.

Kurt Campbell travelled to the Solomon Islands to counter Beijing's influence in the South Pacific country, he quickly saw just how far China would go to spread its message. The Biden administration's Asia czar woke up one morning in 2022 to a long article in the local press about the US running chemical and biological labs in Ukraine, a claim that Washington calls an outright lie. Started by Russia, the false and incendiary claim was vigorously amplified by China's vast overseas propaganda apparatus. It was another example of «clearly effective Russian and Chinese disinformation,» Campbell told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in July. Two years later, the claim still reverberates online, demonstrating China's sprawling effort to reshape global perceptions.

Eight billion years into the future, astronomers have discovered what may be a future Earth. If the rocky planet doesn't get swallowed by our expanding sun, scientists may be able to see one of Earth's potential futures. The planet is about twice as big as Earth. By finding a far-off planet, astronomers have been able to get a unique look at what our planet might look like in eight billion years. The planet, known as KMT-2020-BLG-0414, is a rocky world 4,000 lightyears away from Earth that orbits a white dwarf, which is the burning remnant of a star. In 5 billion years, our sun is predicted to change into a white dwarf. But before then, Mercury, Venus, and maybe even Earth and Mars will be consumed by our sun as it accelerates outward into a red giant. In the end, if our planet survives, it might look something like this one as it moves further away from the cooling remnants of the dying cosmic inferno. The journal Nature Astronomy published the astronomers' description of the far-off world on September 26.

Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, started pitching an audacious plan that he hoped would create the computing power his company needed to build more powerful artificial intelligence. In meetings with investors in the United Arab Emirates, computer chip makers in Asia and officials in Washington, he proposed that they unite on a multitrillion-dollar effort to erect new computer chip factories and data centers across the globe, including in the Middle East. Though some participants and regulators balked at parts of the plan, the talks have continued and expanded into Europe and Canada. OpenAI's blueprint for the world's technology future, which was described to The New York Times by nine people close to the company's discussions, would create countless data centers providing a global reservoir of computing power dedicated to building the next generation of AI.

Elon Musk its Person of the Year. True, that designation doesn't necessarily equate to a stamp of approval. But the magazine's coverage of Musk at the time was very favorable, almost fawning, highlighting his assertion that «my career is Mars and cars.» A lot of people would disagree with that declaration now. Of course, Tesla and SpaceX remain big businesses. But Musk himself is largely defined in many minds by the way he changed X, the site formerly known as Twitter — making more room for right-wing extremists, including a substantial number of pro-Nazi accounts, and his own embrace of antisemitic and racist conspiracy theories. Musk's right-wing turn isn't universal or even typical: Reporting suggests that even with the rightward turn of several boldface names, Silicon Valley remains heavily Democratic. Political contributions from the internet industry, in particular, remain strongly tilted toward Democrats. But right-wing tech bros are exerting a significant and, I'd argue, malign influence on the political landscape.

Tropical storm force winds began battering Florida on Thursday as Hurricane Helene prepared to make landfall, with forecasters warning that the enormous storm could create a “nightmare” surge along the coast and churn up damaging winds hundreds of miles inland across much of the southeastern U.S.

Hurricane John strengthened once again on Thursday as it hurled rain at Mexico's southwestern coast dotted with ports and tourist hotspots, an area already soaked by the slow-moving storm system over the past several days. John has churned menacingly near the stretch of coastline since Monday, weakening and strengthening again as it impacted major cargo ports, temporarily shutting local airports as well as claiming at least five lives, mostly due to mudslides. AccuWeather meteorologist Jesse Ferrell referred to John as a «zombie» storm — a term that refers to systems that dissipate before strengthening back into a storm, first coined by the U.S. National Weather Service in 2020 when the remnants of storm Paulette regenerated near the Azores after striking Bermuda.
