Universes Beyond is saving Magic: The Gathering, not ruining it

Magic: The Gathering's Universes Beyond crossover sets — including the recent Marvel Super Heroes release — are drawing new players into local game stores that previously sat nearly empty during open play. The author argues that despite veteran backlash, these IP collaborations are keeping the game commercially viable. Without them, he contends, the game would be losing players faster than it gains new ones.

Do IP crossovers like Marvel benefit Magic: The Gathering?

Polish food safety authority: rinse blueberries under running water, skip disinfectants

Poland's Chief Sanitary Inspectorate (GIS) recommends washing blueberries only under running water, immediately before eating. Soaking them in disinfectant solutions is not advised by most experts and can reduce their freshness and flavour. Washing blueberries too early and storing them while still wet accelerates spoilage.

Should people use disinfectant solutions when washing fruit?

"Put a Sock in It": The 100-Year-Old Phrase That Told People to Be Quiet

The English phrase "put a sock in it," meaning "be quiet," has been in use for over a century. Its most likely origin lies in the practice of stuffing a sock into the horn of an early gramophone to muffle the sound before volume controls existed. The expression quickly crossed over into everyday speech as a blunt command to stop talking.
