Danson, 78, starred on all 11 seasons of the hit sitcom as Sam Malone along with Kelsey Grammer, George Wendt, John Ratzenberger, Woody Harrelson and Rhea Perlman. He was one of the only cast members to appear in each of the show’s 273 episodes. During a recent conversation on his Where Everybody Knows Your Name podcast, Danson opened up about the state of his personal life as the show concluded. “People say, ‘What was it like? What did you do when she was over?’ I said, ‘I had f***ed up my life so much that I didn’t even realize Cheers was over,’” Danson said, adding he “barely knew myself.” “I wanted to stop being a liar,” he said. “I wanted to be emotionally mature. I wanted to change.” Ted Danson …

6 Things Women Do Differently When They Realize A Man Won’t Rescue Them

Published by Jenni Sidey

Despite Charlotte York’s assertion that “women really just want to be rescued,” the truth is Prince Charming only exists in fairy tales.  Women who realize that a man won’t suddenly come save them have learned how to save themselves, and that means they live a more fulfilling life. They haven’t given up on romance, but they’ve learned to want a love that is chosen, not needed in desperation.  How women who aren’t waiting around for a man to rescue them live their lives differently: 1. They focus on their career Miljan Zivkovic | Shutterstock Most women grew up with a Disney movie version of romance as their ideal. They were inadvertently taught that a man would ride in on a white horse and sweep her off her feet, never to worry about anything ever again. When reality comes knocking, women who realize they aren’t going to be rescued and that they don’t need to be will start As a pursuing their own ambitions. For many women, this starts with their career.  Instead of relying on …

8 Simple Things Kids Grew Up With That Were Way More Privileged Than Most People Realize

Published by Jenni Sidey

We often condemn privileges that people have today, often out of envy or fear. But kids who grew up in these situations were set up for success. The quality time they spent with their parents, as well as all the lessons they learned along the way, it’s unfortunate that not every child got to experience this upbringing. And while these things seem quite simple to many, kids with this kind of childhood actually grew up more privileged than most people realize. Simple things kids had growing up that were actually more privileged than we realize 1. Free time to play PeopleImages | Shutterstock Many wealthy families outsource their labor so that when they have actual free time, they don’t have to spend it worrying about household labor or lawn work. When they have free time, they get to choose how to spend it, whether that’s with their kids at home or indulging in a hobby. For kids, that meant having their parents around more often, but it also meant they didn’t have to spend all …

8 Things People With Emotionally Immature Parents Eventually Realize Weren’t Normal

Published by Jenni Sidey

Emotionally immature parents might exhibit behaviors and responses that are self-centered, impulsive, controlling, and intrusive. If you were raised by emotionally immature parents, the path to self-discovery can be particularly challenging, and it’s important to take the time to heal once you make the realization.  Mental health therapists from I Go to Therapy took to Instagram to share some abnormal experiences (that may have seemed normal at the time) that may affect people in their adulthood if they grew up with emotionally immature parents. People who had emotionally immature parents eventually realize these things weren’t normal: 1. Feeling like they have to monitor everyone else’s emotions Krakenimages.com / Shutterstock If you are hypervigilant of the feelings of those around you, paying attention to any signs of anger or frustration, you may have grown up with emotionally immature parents. Your parents likely responded to you with high emotional reactivity and extreme emotional outbursts, or at the other end of the spectrum, with emotional unavailability. This environment of extremes results in a hyperfocus on others’ emotions as a …

I didn’t realize my HDMI cable was blocking Dolby Atmos — the upgrade was free

I didn’t realize my HDMI cable was blocking Dolby Atmos — the upgrade was free

Published by skeptic

Dolby Atmos adapts to the devices and audio gear you have, and this can be a blessing and a curse. You might fire up Apple Music on your phone and hear Dolby Atmos start playing out of your device’s stereo speakers. It’s a different experience on every platform. The important thing to remember is that every piece of the chain needs to support Dolby Atmos for it to work. The fewer hardware and software points in the mix, the simpler unlocking Dolby Atmos becomes. This explains why experiencing spatial audio on your TV or home theater setup is so difficult. A single HDMI cable can cause the entire Dolby Atmos chain to break. Use the wrong HDMI cable or port, and you could end up hearing Atmos sound at a lower quality than expected — or not at all. I checked two things on my HDMI cable and TV to guarantee they weren’t blocking Dolby Atmos. Related The biggest Dolby Atmos upgrade isn’t a new sound system — it’s this Blu-ray discs are the key …

Survey Sunday: what will it take for fleets to realize electric works – TODAY?

Survey Sunday: what will it take for fleets to realize electric works – TODAY?

Published by skeptic

For the last few weeks, we’ve been running a sidebar survey about what Electrek readers think it would take to convince the most EV-resistant fleet operators to realize that electric vehicles are ready for work TODAY. After receiving 1,700 responses, here’s what you told us. In case you missed the survey, the question read, “ACT Expo just wrapped up for 2026, and while battery-electric commercial vehicles are clearly gaining traction, there are still plenty of people spreading that ‘messy middle’ garbage … what do you think it’ll take for the holdouts to realize EVs are ready for real work — today?” Before we get too far into the results, however, it should be noted that industry-leading fleet experts like GEOTAB and Transport Canada have shown that the majority of commercial vehicles on the road today could be fully electrified tomorrow without hardly missing a beat – and, in the case of semi trucks, save fleets up to $160,000 per truck. This survey isn’t about whether EVs work. They do, and that fact isn’t up for debate. What we’re …

Bosses Who Micromanage Don’t Realize It Says More About Them Than The Workers

Bosses Who Micromanage Don’t Realize It Says More About Them Than The Workers

Published by Jenni Sidey

There are a lot of bad bosses out there, but micromanagers definitely take the cake as the worst to work for. (Like the manager I once had who made us show him every email before we sent it. Every. Single. Email.) Jobs are stressful and taxing enough without a boss breathing down your neck all the time. Of course, most bosses who micromanage would say that it’s employees’ ineptitude that forces them to be that way. These bosses usually create an environment that makes their team feel like they have to prioritize pleasing them over customers, though, which really defeats their purpose altogether. One man argued that in these situations, the employees aren’t the problem at all. A man thinks bosses who micromanage are bad at their jobs, and even bad at identifying the best talent for their teams. TikToker @bbebard, known as Ginger Jack on the app, had some pointed words for micromanagers, saying they shouldn’t be in a leadership position in the first place.  To illustrate his point, Ginger Jack used his own …

But what if the real problem isn’t screen time − it’s the way we use social media at night? Sleep deprivation is one of the most widespread yet overlooked public health issues, especially among young adults and adolescents. Despite needing eight to 10 hours of sleep, most adolescents fall short, while nearly two-thirds of young adults regularly get less than the recommended seven to nine hours. Poor sleep isn’t just about feeling tired − it’s linked to worsened mental health, emotion regulation, memory and academic performance (Getty Images) Poor sleep isn’t just about feeling tired − it’s linked to worsened mental health, emotion regulation, memory, academic performance and even increased risk for chronic illness and early mortality.

Bosses Realize Their Companies Have Been Swarmed by Legions of Redundant AI Agents

Published by José Betancourt

Sign up to see the future, today Can’t-miss innovations from the bleeding edge of science and tech Woe is the c-suite. After heedlessly embracing AI tech at the expense of their workers, some bosses are now whining to The Wall Street Journal that their companies are being overrun by out-of-control AI agents. One company grappling with the influx is Magnum Ice Cream, the parent company of Ben & Jerry’s. We’re just as stupefied by the idea of an ice cream maker deploying AI bots en masse as you are, and we’re even more baffled that its chief information officer of the Americas Michael Friedlander felt that he needed to set the record straight on the issue.  Per the WSJ, his chief gripe was that AI agents are both too easy to use and create, as tools like Anthropic’s Claude Cowork allow anyone to build custom agents to automate all kinds of tasks. “Because everybody can do it, we’re probably going to end up with a lot of people having the same types of agents,” Friedlander …
