The SpaceX boss cut in after agency administrator Jim Bridenstine was asked if Musk’s headline-grabbing statements about the ongoing shelter-in-place restrictions had impacted NASA’s relationship with the rocket company. As Bridenstine was taking a cautious approach to the question asked by The Atlantic’s Marina Koren, noting he would continue to let SpaceX speak for itself, Musk interjected: “I think this is a different subject. Wrong press conference, move on.”...

We know a few who don’t own cats, such as the Jazz’s Rudy Gobert and the Knicks’ Carmelo Anthony.

The iconic Portuguese forward is renowned for many things, with an unerring ability to find the back of the net perhaps the most impressive weapon in a remarkable arsenal. Having plundered 450 goals in just 437 appearances for Madrid, the 33-year-old has established his own unique way of acknowledging those achievements. His “Siiii” celebration is now replicated by youngsters around the world, with Ronaldo often choosing to accompany his spinning jump with the removal of his top – despite the obvious threat of receiving a yellow card....

We talked about eventually adopting but we spent about four years struggling with fertility. When we finally got pregnant, we lost my first baby in a miscarriage and then about six months later we found out we were pregnant with twins. We were ecstatic and everything was going great, then we had a routine appointment and the doctors realized I was dilated at 25 weeks. Eli and Joey were born in 2009 and we spent a gruelling five months in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU)....

One gentleman came along with his wife and son. When I scared them, he pushed them into a ditch opposite me, set off back down the path and left them. His wife was furious with him, but it was funny. I think I knew then it was the job for me, I was hooked after that scare. I’ve had thousands of scares since then; it’s just really good fun to spend a few weeks around Halloween scaring people and then making them laugh afterwards....

The Trackhouse Racing Team driver looked both relieved and satisfied after completing a journey that tested him in ways he could not have anticipated before arriving in the United States from Monterrey, Mexico. Daniel Suarez said the following about his journey: He arrived in the United States in 2011 and moved to the Buffalo area, where he lived with the owner of his team at the time. Suarez couldn’t communicate in English, so he watched TV to learn the language because he couldn’t afford to attend language courses....

It is likely that my anxiety grew over the years, compounded by the hormonal shifts of childbearing. Still, for as long as I can remember, I have been someone who anticipates things and considers worst case scenarios. I have, on occasion, been called an obsessive planner. When I travel, I make a packing list weeks in advance, leave for the airport a minimum of three hours before departure time and check the terminal map to see what food will be available; in spite of the fact that I always pack snacks....

The Red Devils are in stark need of rejuvenation following a disappointing campaign that ended trophyless and without UEFA Champions League qualification.

De Jong, 25, has been the Dutch coach’s main transfer target with United having already bidded for the Barcelona star. According to The Guardian, the Red Devils had a €70 million offer for the Dutch midfielder rejected....

Ah, Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition. Beloved by owners of high-definition televisions for allowing multiple players to sit side by side, mining and crafting together. Berated by owners of standard-definition televisions for denying them the joys of split-screen multiplayer – and for not offering a warning to that effect up front. To prevent further outrage among SDTV-owning Xbox 360 players, the Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition product page on the Xbox Marketplace has been updated with a warning: “To experience split-screen functionality a high-definition television is required....

Boulder County Sheriff Joe Pelle said at a news conference alongside Governor Jared Polis and others that so far no loss of life has been indicated, despite some residents having a very small window of time to evacuate. “We still have no reports of casualties or fatalities,” Pelle told reporters. “The one missing person we had last night has been accounted for as well. So that’s awesome news and actually, I think given the events that we had yesterday, pretty miraculous....

It’s no secret that nearly every detail of Modern Warfare 3 is already out on the net for people to check out after sources fronted all this information to Kotaku. And when I say every detail I mean that in the very literal sense. Details ranging from characters to multiplayer maps and modes to each and every story beat were leaked about four months ago, just before E3 2011. Since then, Activision has responded to the leak publically, only to then have an internal company email from Activision Publishing CEO Eric Hirshberg get leaked as well....

Whether to keep fans satisfied until the game’s release, or to keep the hype machine going as long as possible, another trailer for the game was released. The video features Mortal Kombat veteran and movie star extraordinare, Johnny Cage.

With the release of Mortal Kombat X looming on the horizon, gamers everywhere are dreaming of fatalities, brutalities and quitalities. Having earned a place in the general gaming subconscious due to their graphic portrayals of violence, there’s one aspect of these gruesome finishers that people often overlook: The sound effects.

Twitter user @RebeccaRHelm began the crab versus human debate on Saturday evening, when she reposted footage acquired by LADBible in December 2020 of a small crab building itself a home in the sand in under a minute. “BuT HuMaNs aRe tHe mOsT AdVaNcEd sPeCiEs,” she wrote, intentionally using both uppercase and lowercase lettering recognized online as denoting a mocking tone, and implying the crab’s ability to build a shelter so quickly and with so few resources was more impressive than that of humans....
