Imagine driving over 200 MPH around a tight, twisting road in a land rocket and typing on a laptop — that's a pretty close approximation of piloting an Formula One car. Not only are they the fastest cars on the planet, but the steering wheel is cover in buttons that adjust every aspect of the car: brake balance, fuel mixture, engine mapping, and more. This video annotates all the button presses by Mercedes driver Nico Rosberg on a pole position lap at the 2016 Baku City Circuit.
Dogs have been man's best friends since the dawn of time, or have they?

Bar soap rarely gets an upgrade, but the Duke Cannon Soap Puck rethinks the format with a compact, palm-sized design built for grip, portability, and longevity. Triple-milled for a denser, longer-lasting bar, it delivers a rich lather while holding up better than typical soaps, making it just as suited for daily showers as it is for gym bags and travel kits. Formulated with natural oils and free of phthalates, it cleans without overcomplicating things, while the rounded puck shape feels deliberate in hand. It's a small shift in form that turns a basic essential into something more considered and durable.

If you've gotten on a commercial flight, more than likely it was on a Boeing 737. The 140-foot twinjet airliner rules the airways with more than 9,000 produced since their introduction in 1967. In order to get so many into the friendly skies, the company pumps out a completed 737 from their Renton Production Facility at an astonishing pace — just nine days.
You've had those little golden nuggets of all-white meat. You've also seen the rather terrifying "pink slime" video, which is supposedly the origin of the untold millions of chicken nuggets McDonald's sells. How It's Made takes you into the Tyson factory in Tennessee for the true scoop on where those bits of crispy chicken goodness really come from.
Water is often just an afterthought. We don't really put my time into picking out a bottle, and even just fill up from the tap. It's just water, right? Well not to Martin Riese. He is a world renowned water sommelier, yes it's a real thing, that makes a profession out of tasting, analyzing, and judging the different waters of the world.
Good advice is few and far between, but Stevie Wonder has it in spades. The Motown legend talks with Barney Hoskyns about singing, melody, and the keys to a good life.
The Monterey Overshirt from Collars & Co leans into the kind of effortless layering piece that works year-round without overthinking it. Cut from a lightweight cotton-linen blend with a touch of stretch, it delivers breathable comfort with just enough structure to hold its shape, striking a balance between relaxed and refined. Details like patch pockets, working buttons, and a clean pointed collar keep things classic, while the unlined construction makes it easy to throw over a tee or polo as temperatures shift. Machine washable and designed for a true-to-size fit, it's a straightforward staple that slots easily into a daily rotation without feeling like an afterthought.
