Let’s see. I know a 67-year-old guy, a 42-year-old woman, a 58-year-old guy, a 76-year-old woman and a 34-year-old woman … I know a lot of people who use dating apps. But my Gen Z son tells me his friends don’t use them. They just DM each other on social.
Where was the testing? Philips just settled a $1.1 billion lawsuit over faulty DreamStation CPAP machines because the internal foam can crumble, causing people to breathe in tiny particles in their sleep. With 561 deaths linked to these devices, they got off easy.

🔋 New battery safety feature: In 2020, one-and-a-half-year-old Reese Hamsmith swallowed a coin-shaped button battery and died. Her parents pressured Energizer to make a change — now, these batteries taste awful and dye your mouth bright blue when mixed with spit.
