*A Single Small Map Is Enough For A Lifetime*

Alastair Humphreys has been everywhere imaginable, it seems. He’s even made a career out of pushing other people to follow their own exploratory spirits. But as he tells us in this NoΔ“ma piece, one day he realized he’d never applied his philosophy of β€œmicroadventures” to his own backyard. So he ordered a map of the 20 square kilometers around his house in Englandβ€”and what follows is a lovely meditation on finding wonder in the everyday. I studied my map for a while and found what appeared to be its most boring grid square: no roads, houses or rivers, just a single footpath, one pond and the merest flutter of a lonely contour line. Here, it seemed, was nothing at all, neatly outlined within crisp blue lines. It was the ideal place to begin. I folded up the map and headed out to have a look at nothing. Read the story

*The down alternative comforter shoppers say is 'oh so dang warm' is on super sale for just $22*

TheStreet aims to feature only the best products and services. If you buy something via one of our links, we may earn a commission. There’s nothing better than crawling into bed after a long day and being engulfed by a soft, puffy comforter that feels like it came from a five-star hotel. The good news is, this isn’t as far-fetched as it might sound. The L Lovsoul Queen Comforter is 45% off after double discounts at Amazon, bringing the price down to just $22, which is practically unheard of for bedding of this size. Don’t forget to apply the on-page coupon before adding it to your cart to secure the additional $2 off. It’s backed by over 8,000 shoppers who have given it a five-star rating and more than 50 reviewers alone compared it to feeling like a β€œcloud” because it’s so soft. Another person described it as lightweight and said it’s β€œoh so dang warm.” It’s filled with microfiber that’s made to mimic the feeling of goose feathers without the negative effects like allergies, sharp shafts, and feathers everywhere. L Lovsoul Duvet Insert Queen Comforter, $22 (was $40) at Amazon Courtesy of Amazon Although it’s available in several sizes and comes in 17 colors at various price points, the queen size in White is the only one that’s on sale for $22. If you prefer your bedding to have a pop of color, this comforter doubles as a duvet insert, so you can jazz it up with any queen-size duvet cover you like. It features eight tabs that help hold it in place and prevent it from sliding around or bunching up inside its cover. The box stitching design ensures the microfiber filling is evenly distributed across the entire blanket at all times to maximize comfort. Since it arrives in a compact box, the brand suggests waiting up to 24 hours before using it for the first time to allow the filling to expand. Some people also recommend washing it right away, and the brand suggests a gentle cycle with cold water and a low heat setting for drying. Many shoppers can attest that it β€œwashes well” and looks and feels just like new afterward. β€œTruly, this comforter is heaven on Earth,” one reviewer wrote. β€œYou feel as though you have climbed on a cloud that is perfect for colder nights.” Instead of just dreaming of having hotel-quality bedding at home, make it a reality and grab the L Lovsoul Comforter while it’s on super sale for just $22.

*Apple is making major changes to its EU App Store - What it means for users*

TheStreet's J.D. Durkin brings the latest business headlines from the floor of the New York Stock Exchange as markets close for trading Thursday, January 25.Full Video Transcript Below: J.D. DURKIN: I'm J.D. Durkin, reporting from the New York Stock Exchange. Stocks were in the green to close out today's session. The Dow closed up 243 points, the Nasdaq closed up fractionally, and the S&P closed just over half a percent higher. Investors are reacting to a stronger than expected GDP report – the U.S. economy grew at a 3.3 percent pace during the last few months of 2023, above Wall Street expectations. Investors are looking ahead to Friday’s PCE report. The Personal Consumption Expenditures will give investors a better picture of the state of rising prices in the U.S. In other news, Apple’s "walled garden" finally has a crack in it, as the iPhone maker announced significant changes to its App Store in Europe. For the first time in the company’s history, non-Apple affiliated developers will be able to list and distribute apps in Apple’s App Store. In addition to being able to list their programs, Apple is also slashing the fees it takes from developers. The move comes as European regulators continue to crack down on big tech companies. Europe’s Digital Markets Act, which takes effect in March 2024, is aimed at stopping anti-competitive practices implemented by big tech. It lists several big names, including Apple, Microsoft, Google, and Amazon, as "gatekeepers" - which restrict access to important platform services like advertising and search. Apple, as you might expect, has pushed back on having to conform to the new legislation. The company says the new rules could put users at risk for scams or fraud because apps that don’t go directly through the App Store are not reviewed by Apple itself. Apple declined to say whether or not the changes made in European markets will be introduced elsewhere. That’s it for your daily briefing. From the New York Stock Exchange, I’m J.D. Durkin with TheStreet.

*I think Fox News has really rotted a lot of people's brains.*

I moved to the US when I was a toddler 20 years ago. 6 years old. My Dad is an incredibly smart man. He got a PhD when he was like 24 years old. He's a tenured professor. But as soon as he moved to the US, he started watching Fox News. Now, every single day, my Dad calls me and goes on 20 minutes political rants using Fox News talking points. I just stay silent the entire phone call. Either playing video games or watching something on my computer while he gets everything out of his system. He talks the entire 20 minutes. He doesn't even notice I'm not even talking. I'm not even listening to be honest. Because if I do say something, that 20 minute rant turns into 3 hours. And no, I don't get a word in for those 3 hours. He talks the entire 3 hours. I think there are a lot of older people like this in this country. It's not healthy. submitted by /u/bobbdac7894 to r/GenZ [link] [comments]
