If you’re worried about running into angry wildlife while on a nice jog, chances are you’re afraid of stumbling across a bear or mountain lion on a scenic forest trail, or even a feral dog in the city. On the island of Jersey, which sits between England and France, they fear something entirely different: Wild chickens. A recent report from News.co.uk reveals that feral chickens have been making life a bit more difficult for residents of the island, which is the largest of the Channel Islands. The chickens, which lack predators on the isolated landmass, are reproducing unchecked and now pose an issue for joggers, gardeners, and anyone who prefers to sleep past sunrise. Don't Miss : Your iPhone will charge from 0% to 80% in under an hour with these two accessories It is suspected that the origins of the chicken problem stem from birds which were being kept as pets by locals. The birds may have escaped or were set free, and they began to breed. The birds don’t have any natural ...

It’s Stranger Things week, everyone! Although this week is absolutely packed with new content (it is the beginning of a new month after all), the third season of Stranger Things is likely to dominate the headlines. Keep in mind that it’s been nearly two years since we last visited the fictional town of Hawkins, Indiana.

Here’s the good news: all of Apple’s iPhones from 2017 and later support 18W fast charging that can charge your phone from 0% all the way up to 80% in about 55 minutes! And now for the bad news: Apple’s cheaped out and didn’t include a fast charger in the box with any of its iPhone models. Seriously, you can buy a $1,500 iPhone XS Max and Apple still doesn’t include a fast charger in the box. Ugh. Getting the charger and cable you need from Apple to fast charge your iPhone costs about $50, which is obscene. Instead, pick up an AUKEY USB C Charger with 18W Power Delivery for $19.99 and an Anker USB C to Lightning Cable for $15.99.

Alcoholic beverages are carefully controlled and their distribution is strictly regulated. Unfortunately, the typically fancy bottles that various spirits, beer, and wine come in might be hiding some rather serious dangers of their own. A new study that focused on the materials used to make various alcoholic beverage bottles reveals some seriously disturbing levels of certain heavy metals. The concentration of materials like lead and cadmium aren’t just elevated, they’re so high that the manufacturers of the bottles might actually be breaking the law. Don't Miss : Never scrub anything again with Black+Decker’s $15 power scrubber for dishes and everything else in your kitchen The study looked at both the glass used in various alcoholic beverage bottles and the enamel often used to decorate the exterior and make them more eye-catching on supermarket shelves.

A large galaxy lurking far away in the cosmos recently caught the eye of scientists for an entirely different reason: It sent a signal that we were able to detect here on Earth. The galaxy, which carries the complex scientific label DES J214425.25-405400.81, is a whopping 4 billion light-years away, but it’s been pegged as the source of a single, non-repeating fast radio burst (FRB) that was heard loud and clear by an array of radar dishes in Australia.

McNeil said she had left the Amazon app open on her phone. When Rayna was playi...
