First the influencers and manosphere loons added protein to ice cream, and I did not care because I rarely eat ice cream. Then they added it to popcorn, and I did not care because I rarely eat popcorn. Now they’re adding it to coffee creamer, and I am forced to care because I am hopelessly addicted to coffee, caffeine, and anything even remotely gimmicky in this space.Memes aside, protein feels is everywhere these days. The usual suspects blame it on the rise of wellness culture, the rightward lurch of America’s political gestalt, and the noxious fumes emitted by the sputtering…

ORLANDO, FL – Barring a national championship, every end to a Michigan football season is bittersweet, no matter the team.Sure, a win can blunt the pain of knowing it’s the final gathering of any particular Wolverines squad, especially if it also brings a sense of momentum for the following season. Even a loss can bring that, with enough standout returners.AdvertisementBut for this Michigan team those don’t quite apply after the Wolverines fell to Texas, 41-27, in the Citrus Bowl on Wednesday, Dec. 31. U-M gave up 17 unanswered points in the final 6:54 to end 2025 with a thud. Perhaps…

Other Fitness Trackers to ConsiderPhotograph: Adrienne SoGarmin Instinct 3 for $400: Garmin’s Instinct line doesn’t have as many high-end features as the Fenix 8, but it’s popular because it’s cheaper and it has a cool, chunky retro aesthetic that I love. This year’s updates include the built-in flashlight and a new reinforced bezel, which is good considering that I still managed to bang up the Fenix and Epix watches quite a bit. For more information, check out our guide to the Best Garmin Watches.Coros Apex 4 for $429: Coros is the king of affordable watches for extreme sportsmen (and women),…

The ceremony is the most performance-like part of a wedding, and the cast of characters that walks down the aisle can set the tone for the proceedings to come.Processional order is mostly based…

A new generation of rockets aims to unlock new business models in space, including the science fiction dream of extracting resources from asteroids. Researchers are taking a closer look at asteroids to figure out which of these objects makes sense as a target for future mining missions. A team from Spain’s Institute of Space Sciences spent over a decade analyzing samples from carbon-rich asteroids, the most common type of space rocks found in the solar system, to understand what might be out there. The research, published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, singles out one type of…

CBS Sports graphic Duke opened ACC play Wednesday with an 85-79 win over Georgia Tech. So the Blue Devils are now 12-1 on the season; that’s great. But it was hard not to notice — after Duke had to overcome a seven-point deficit in the second half to avoid being upset at home as a 27.5-point favorite — that the Blue Devils allowed their opponent to shoot above 53% for the second straight game, and that’s obviously not sustainable for any team with real national-championship aspirations.Man-to-man, Duke couldn’t guard.Eventually, Blue Devils coach Jon Scheyer switched to a zone.”We had to…

You may know Bosch as a home appliance brand (via its partnership with Siemens), but the German multinational is generally more focused on providing underlying technology and engineering solutions to auto, home and manufacturing partners across the globe. It’s fitting, then, that much of what it’s showing off at is more intended to be licensed to other companies versus Bosch-branded products you’ll be seeing on store shelves.Case in point is Bosch’s automotive plans at CES. The company will present “AI in the car,” or more specifically, in the cockpit of the car. “Bosch’s AI-powered cockpit makes driving more comfortable, intuitive,…

Other Smart ScalesRenpho MorphoScan Photograph: Chris NullRenpho MorphoScan for $150: The Renpho MorphoScan full-body scanner looks surprisingly similar to the Runstar FG2015, including a near-identical display attached to the handlebars. Well, spoiler alert, they are basically the same scale. They even use the same app to collect data (and you can even use both scales simultaneously with it). The only reason this scale isn’t our top pick for the category is that it’s $15 more expensive. You can rest assured that a price war is looming.Arboleaf Body Fat Scale CS20W Photograph: Chris NullArboleaf Body Fat Scale CS20W for $40: This…
