Stephen Moss spent 35 years investigating airplane crashes at the Air Accident Investigation Branch in the United Kingdom. He worked on the Lockerbie bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 and Manchester runway fire, and as you'll see here, he's a no-nonsense professional. Moss sat down with Insider to review plane crashes in film and give his critique on how they compare to reality.
Fonts are some of the most considered elements of anything man-made we see — a typeface you can't immediately read and interpret is beyond worthless and fails at its one mission. But one font had a completely different set of parameters that influenced its design — the 8-bit arcade font. Vox tells the origin story of one of the world's most recognizable fonts and how it became an icon.
We've been waiting four years for new music from Oakland-base Thao & the Get Down Stay Down. Temple is out May 15, 2020, and a tour in support of the record was planned — unfortunately, coronavirus put a hold on those plans. In the new social distancing tradition, Thao and friends made a music video for Phenom over Zoom.
Sometimes bigger really is better. With a 24"-wide cooking area, the Ooni Koda 2 Max can easily cook massive 20" New York-style pies, or handle up to three 10" pizzas simultaneously. That size also makes room for two independently controlled gas burners and two 3/4′′ cordierite pizza stones, creating dual cooking zones. A front-mounted digital temperature display and app connectivity make monitoring the oven simple, G2 Gas Technology with tapered flames delivers more consistent heat, and the glass visor is removable to allow for cooking larger dishes. Available in propane and natural gas versions.

You can wear melin's HYDRO Collection hats just about anywhere without a worry — on the open water, at a sweltering golf course, to the lake, you name it.

They dry fast, float, and keep you cool no matter the temperature outside.

The film will also feature interviews with Shelley Duvall and Malcolm McDowell as well as highlights from classics like Lolita, A Clockwork Orange, and The Shining.
Getting older is a fact of life for everyone — but some of us do it a little more gracefully than others. Time hasn't been kind to the former Teen-Age Mutant Ninja Turtles, and as they've reached middle age, the hard truths of a life spent eating a pizza-filled diet and partying hard have caught up with them.
Comfortable underwear comes down to more than just soft fabric — they have to keep you feeling fresh, too. Ministry of Supply's Composite brief does so with a hygroscopic mix of extra-fine Merino wool eucalyptus-based TENCEL viscose that wicks moisture away while naturally helping to control odor. Mesh ventilation panels in key areas encourage airflow to keep things cool, and a bit of Elastane provides comfortable stretch that won't wear out over time.

Here's how they did it.
