Boston Dynamics wants to make sure we have no chance of survival with their latest robotic soldier. Based on the same design as Cheetah, this four-legged robot can reach speeds of 16 mph without the restrictions of a power cable, allowing it to chase you for miles while taunting you with its buzz of death.
Reaching speeds of 34 mph, kayaker Ben Marr rockets down the Lions Bay slide like he has nothing to live for.
Don't let your tie be an afterthought. Don't go digging for that kitschy hand-me-down your dad not-so-kindly bestowed upon you — stock up on stylish, timeless, Italian-made ties from Aklasu instead. Alaksu's assortment of silk ties come in several finishes: grenadine, six-fold, and shantung. Grenadine, a weave known for its light, gauze-like feel, is a traditional Italian weave long associated with James Bond — stretching all the way back to when Sean Connery assumed the role. Somewhat forgotten by most men nowadays, picking it is an easy way to stand out from the crowd — and for the right reason, too, not because your tie has dogs or tiny beers on it. Whether you want an orange, blue, black, or burgundy tie, Aklasu likely offers it, and with the right proportions and fit.

Ever run a half-marathon in work pants? Someone did in the Ministry of Supply's Kinetic Pant, and they set a Guinness World Record. We don't necessarily recommend doing that daily — unless you're late for a meeting — but that's certainly more than enough proof that they're comfortable, stretchy, sweat- and water-resistant, wrinkle-free, and breathable. Plus, they're machine washable and easy to dress up or down depending on the day, thanks to the wide array of colors they offer, comfortable drawstring band, and zippered pockets. Adding to their versatility, they're specifically cut to work well with sneakers, which most of us are rocking to the office and on the weekends, too. And the waist measurements aren't broad-stroke alpha sizing: these are available in 28 through 40-inch waist sizes.

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.
