Despite tariffs, immigration crackdowns, a government shutdown and nonstop recession warnings, the U.S. economy just delivered a surprise: its fastest growth rate in two years. But beneath the headline numbers, the recovery looks increasingly uneven; and fragile.The Economy Keeps Defying Recession CallsDepositphotos Photo by shirotieFor much of 2025, economists warned that President Trump’s tariffs and immigration policies would tip the U.S. into a slowdown, if not an outright recession. Markets panicked after the “Liberation Day” tariff announcement in April, and Wall Street firms sharply raised their recession odds.Instead, the economy powered through. Gross domestic product surged at a 4.3% annual…

Prusa released a new set of Core One files on December 19th under a new license they made called Open Community License (OCL). Their blog post explains they created the license to “answer to the gaps left by traditional software licenses when applied to physical hardware.” They wish to use it to open up more of their source files while keeping their work protected. They cite examples of patent trolls attacking their MMU1 extruder and 3D designer Soozafone as situations the license is meant to address.  Reactions in the maker community have…

Foley has a unique way of delivering high-stakes tension, and her latest “locked-room” mystery set in the heart of France definitely does not disappoint readers.

On a humid September day at Saboon Maazeh farm, the lambskin-soft leaves of yakteen cast an emerald glow in the afternoon sun, while the enormous gourds laze in the shade of their own vines. Nearby are kousa squash, sesame plants, and chest-high rows of mulukhiyah—a jute mallow used in stews throughout the Levant. Half a world away, in the black dirt of Chester, New York, these ingredients thrive under the care of farmers cultivating the flavors of home. Browsing the rows of crops were visitors from the Palestinian American Community Center in Clifton, New Jersey—mostly women and girls. For the oldest…

Two years ago I sat at a coffee shop surrounded by strangers making things. One was drawing desert flora and fauna with crayons and markers in an open sketchbook. There was someone knitting, and another embroidering a jacket. Another was carefully watercoloring a barrel cactus. I’d just moved to this desert town and the outing was my first introduction to it. I knew none of these artists, but had somehow ended up at this gathering by invite from a friend of a friend. I tentatively retrieved my own sketchbook and drew beside them, wondering if my sketches were good enough to…

If you’ve been following me on social media, then you know that my family and I just returned from an epic trip to French Polynesia. With the exception of the weather, this was my best trip not only there on the islands (I’ve been a total of four times) but possibly ever because my kids did so much, including swimming with sharks (more on that later). I wrote about our flight there on Air Tahiti Nui, which you can read here. We arrived in Papeete at 10:20pm. We quickly cleared customs and our bags were on the carousel by 10:28pm.…

Selection of timber is the most important factor in all building or swinging projects. Timber is strong, versatile, and handsome; however, it is not all the same. Timber types, grades, and treatments give a variation in durability, safety, and success of the project. Thus, with all aforethought of buying the timber, there can be assurance that using any timber would survive both the storms of time and economic viability. Understand Your Project Requirements Prior to getting information on timber to be used, one must have a knowledge of what the project is going for in the outset. Structural applications such…

One thing I have always tried to get better at is anticipating the future. I do this as an investor and try to see what the world might look like five, ten, even twenty years from now. The earlier you can see the curves ahead, the better you can adjust before you crash into a guardrail. Recently I had a revelation. After being unable to take investment gains (not principal) to pay for a new $50,000+ car after my old car was causing too many problems, I came to a startling conclusion. I might have the same problem when it…
