You Can Usually Tell How Intelligent Someone Is By These 10 Things That Come Easily To Them

Published by Jenni Sidey

Feelings are incredibly subjective. What one person experiences is different than what others go through. While we have no real way to quantify our emotions — or do we? — we can compare and see the differences, especially when it comes to intelligence. Intelligent people often perceive life in a deeper sense than others. They are less likely to disconnect and protect themselves from the magnitude of emotion. They don’t dial down their feelings, and a few skills come effortlessly to them that others may find exceedingly difficult. You can usually tell how intelligent someone is by these 10 things that come easily to them: 1. They feel things deeply They feel everything more deeply than others. They don’t have a way to disconnect, so what others can just shrug off and not take personally, highly intelligent people take straight to their core. This makes everything very intense for them and the people close to them. Pay attention and respect their feelings. 2. They notice slight changes in energy Highly intelligent people prefer to be …

This 0 pizza oven can easily help elevate your summer pizza nights

This $300 pizza oven can easily help elevate your summer pizza nights

Published by skeptic

If you enjoy homemade pizza but don’t love the hassle that comes with it, an electric pizza oven may be the ideal upgrade. The Ninja Artisan Outdoor Pizza Oven is aimed at people who want delicious pizza nights without having to deal with things like propane or wood pellets, unlike many other pizza ovens. I need to preface this review by admitting that I am no pizza connoisseur, but I ended up with quick, restaurant-style pizzas using the oven, largely thanks to its simplicity and easy-to-use design. The oven plugs into a standard outdoor outlet and gets up to 700°F. It’s worth noting that although it’s electric, it’s not suitable for indoor use.  It features five pizza settings: Neapolitan, New York, Thin Crust, Pan Pizza, and Custom that you can quickly toggle between. It comes with a pizza stone that can cook 12-inch pizzas. While I found that the 12-inch size was perfect for me and my husband, some may wish for the option to make bigger pizzas when feeding a larger crowd. Since the …

‘It could easily happen again’

Add Children of the Blitz to your watchlist This month it will be 85 years since the end of the Blitz, Nazi Germany’s eight-month bombing campaign targeting British towns and cities. To mark that anniversary, we have made Children of the Blitz, a documentary featuring some of the dwindling band of Blitz survivors – the men and women now in their late 80s, 90s and centenary years who, as children during the Second World War, suffered unimaginable terror with long-lasting consequences. People like Patsy, 90, from Belfast. An incendiary bomb landed on the roof of her house while she was sheltering underneath the stairs with her mother. The house was destroyed, with Patsy’s mother pulling her out of the rubble. Or 90-year-old Jean from Sheffield, who lost her mother when a German bomb with a delayed action fuse exploded as she was hanging out the washing. Making this documentary felt purposeful, because this may prove to be the last opportunity to record the testimony of these incredible survivors. Belfast Blitz survivor 90- year-old Patsy Moneypenny, …

11 Traits You Can Easily Spot In A Bad Person That You Won’t Find In Good People At All

Published by Jenni Sidey

We have all kinds of societal and personal ideas of what a “bad person” looks like, but more often than not, those are reflections of us, rather than someone else. We don’t always have a great definition of what it means to be a “bad” person, but when we see them, we know. From subtle behaviors to passive-aggressive language, there are traits you can easily spot in a bad person that you won’t find in good people at all. We also notice our own energy change, which is why noticing these behaviors is essential for ensuring you’re not draining yourself in favor of being “liked” or making someone else comfortable. Here are 11 traits you can easily spot in a bad person that you won’t find in good people at all 1.

Your face might determine how easily people remember your name

Your face might determine how easily people remember your name

Published by José Betancourt

Have you ever struggled to remember the name of someone you just met? A recent study published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition suggests that the natural stickiness of a person’s face plays a key role in whether you will recall their name. The findings indicate that highly memorable faces help people remember associated names, but this memory-boosting effect does not happen when names are paired with memorable photographs of places. For decades, scientists studying human memory have focused on how the mental effort we spend processing a fact determines how well we will retain it. However, memory also depends on natural qualities belonging to the object or event itself. Some items possess an intrinsic memorability, meaning they tend to be consistently remembered better by different people regardless of how much effort is put into learning them. “I was fascinated by the idea that some things in our environment are naturally more memorable than others, meaning most people will remember or forget the same images regardless of their individual memory skills,” …

These types of breakups tend to coincide with moving on more easily

These types of breakups tend to coincide with moving on more easily

Published by José Betancourt

New research published in the Journal of Sex & Marital Therapy suggests that how a romantic relationship ends plays a role in the subsequent emotional well-being of both partners. Specifically, the study indicates that providing a partner with a sense of understanding and respect during a breakup tends to promote greater positive mood and a sense of feeling alive afterward. These findings provide evidence that the communication strategies used during relationship dissolution can meaningfully shape the emotional recovery process. The end of a romantic relationship commonly brings significant emotional distress, but scientists have rarely examined how people might soften this emotional blow during the breakup conversation itself. During difficult interactions, psychologists recognize that using autonomy-supportive techniques tends to reduce defensiveness and foster understanding. Autonomy support involves acknowledging the other person’s feelings, using non-controlling language, offering meaningful reasons for decisions, and allowing the individual to feel a sense of choice. In a functioning relationship, partners typically share an authentic willingness to maintain their bond and support each other’s needs. A breakup interrupts this mutuality, often placing …

Why Windows Secure Boot can be bypassed so easily (and what Microsoft isn’t telling you)

Why Windows Secure Boot can be bypassed so easily (and what Microsoft isn’t telling you)

Published by skeptic

Microsoft uses Secure Boot to safeguard your Windows PC from malware, attacks, and security vulnerabilities before your operating system fully loads. By default, Secure Boot is enabled on Windows PCs to verify that any software running in the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) is trusted and safe. The UEFI, in simple terms, is the basic firmware that launches to initialize your PC’s hardware and boot your operating system. The built-in Windows security protections aren’t active until the operating system fully boots, and that’s why Secure Boot is tasked with locking down the UEFI before that happens. For more than a decade, Secure Boot did just that. The security tool was never bypassed publicly until late 2022 — beforehand, only researchers managed to identify ways to bypass Secure Boot. Everything changed with the BlackLotus exploit, which involved a UEFI bootkit with a Secure Boot bypass appearing for sale in October 2022. The exploit proved harder to patch than expected. Instead of “cracking” Secure Boot, bypass methods like BlackLotus use older and trusted bootloader versions with known …

Why Small Setbacks Derail Us So Easily

Why Small Setbacks Derail Us So Easily

Published by Jenni Sidey

I often hear the same pattern play out in my counseling office, in relationship ups and downs, in classrooms, in the workplace, and when stepping on a scale. Someone is trying to get healthier, has a night of emotional eating, or a parent loses their patience after a tough day at work, or a child of any age gets a poor grade on a test. When we step back and look at these isolated negative events, they often do not reflect the real picture of how we are doing in life. But within minutes, our minds, wired to always be on the lookout for danger and to react, can really mess us up if we let them. When Overthinking Sets In, We Feel a Desire to Check Out One of the most common traps I see is not the setback itself, but the meaning we attach to it. Our negative thoughts quickly turn into something like “Why bother trying again?” Recently, a very upset college graduate who was rejected for a job said it with …

Cops Accidentally Publicize Password to $4.4 Million in Crypto, Allowing Thieves to Easily Steal the Money and Run

Published by José Betancourt

Sign up to see the future, today Can’t-miss innovations from the bleeding edge of science and tech Cryptocurrencies have long been used by criminals for tax evasion, allowing them to avoid getting dinged by things like capital gains taxes by investing in the digital assets. In the United States, the federal justice system is only starting to crack down on the trend, a game of cat and mouse made difficult by anonymized accounts and transactions. But in an announcement to publicize the results of recent raids on 125 tax evaders, which resulted in the confiscation of around $5.6 million worth of crypto, South Korea’s National Tax Service made a dunce-like mistake. As Bleeping Computer reports, the agency released photos of a Ledger hardware wallet for crypto storage on February 27 — but failed to redact a handwritten note visible in the shots that exposed the accompanying wallet’s recovery or seed phrase. The phrase allows anybody to circumvent the need for the physical Ledger device and initiate transfers. Sure enough, it didn’t take long for an …
