Go home, cheetah. If you really want to go fast, you need to get off the ground. The truly fastest animal on Earth is the peregrine falcon, capable of cruising the skies at 60 MPH and diving at over 200 MPH — as fast as Formula One race cars. Unsurprisingly, peregrine falcons are perfectly adapted to high speeds, with nostrils like jet engines and a body profile like a military aircraft.
The first glimpse at The Force Awakens follow-up has arrived and it looks like things will pick up right where they left off. Episode VIII will see the return of Mark Hamill, Adam Driver, Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Oscar Isaac, Lupita Nyong'o, and the final performance from Carrie Fisher, while Benicio del Toro, Laura Dern, and Kelly Marie Tran will join the cast. Other than Luke Skywalker finally has a few lines and some epic space battles, not much is known but we're sure they'll be plenty more trailers between now and its December 15th release.

Robot vacuums were developed with convenience in mind, but emptying bins filled with dust, dirt, and allergens is actually the opposite. Roborock Q5 keeps owner's hands clean by offering a truly automated experience. The Q5 takes the features from previous models, like LiDAR navigation, multi-level mapping, enhanced suction, and customizable app controls, then minimizes human intervention even further with self-emptying capabilities. An auto-empty dock removes the dust and dirt from the bin itself, allowing the device to work independently for over a month.

Crack open a PBR and prepare yourself — it's about to get extremely hipster in here.

The camera shake, the grain, the under- or oversaturated color — 16mm is the rose-tinted goggles of an era you didn't live through.
