Hydrow just announced a new smart rowing machine, with no subscription required

Hydrow, a company that makes smart rowing machines, just announced the Core, a new model that eschews monthly subscription fees. The Hydrow Core Rower features the “same award-winning design” as the original Pro Rower, which we said was positioning itself to be “the Peloton of smart rowing machines.”

Obviously, the hook here is that the Core is a one-and-done purchase with no recurring subscription costs. It still comes with an attached display, which lets users “row through stunning destinations.” All told, this machine offers access to 30 self-paced rows through these exotic locales.

Hydrow

The Core Rower supports unlimited users, which is nice, but there is one major caveat. There’s no subscription, so there’s no access to instructor-led workouts, badges, milestones and other premium features. However, customers can add a membership later for all of that stuff. Hydrow charges $44 per month for a subscription. It could be useful to try it out for a month to see if all of those additional bells and whistles are worth it.

The Hydrow Core Rower is available right now and costs $1,995. This is the exact same price as the flagship Pro Rower. The company also recently released a trimmed down version called the Hydrow Wave. This one is smaller and cheaper, clocking in at around $1,700.

Trump taps loyalists with few qualifications for top jobs

US President-elect Donald Trump chose loyalists with little experience for several key cabinet positions on Wednesday (Nov 13), stunning some allies and making clear that he is serious about reshaping — and in some cases testing — America's institutions. Trump's choice of congressman Matt Gaetz, 42, for US attorney general, America's top law enforcement officer, was a surprising pick. The former attorney has never worked in the Justice Department, or as a prosecutor, and was investigated by the Justice Department over sex trafficking allegations. His office said in 2023 that he had been told by prosecutors he would not face criminal charges. Trump tapped Tulsi Gabbard as director of national intelligence. The former Democratic congresswoman-turned-Trump-ally has in the past spoken out against military intervention in the civil war in Syria under former President Barack Obama and implied that Russian President Vladimir Putin had valid grounds for invading Ukraine, America's ally.

Church of England faces pressure over abuse scandal after Archbishop quits

LONDON — The Church of England faced pressure on Wednesday (Nov 13) to ensure people are held to account for systematically covering up allegations of abuse, one day after the Archbishop of Canterbury resigned over a church abuse scandal. Justin Welby quit on Tuesday as spiritual leader of the global Anglican Church, saying he had failed to ensure a proper investigation into allegations of abuse by a volunteer at Christian summer camps decades ago. Welby resigned after coming under pressure over a report that found failings in the handling of the case of John Smyth, a barrister who abused at least 115 children and young men before his death. The report has increased pressure on others to be held accountable for safeguarding failures. "We... know that some people pretty systematically covered this up, and that those people do need to be brought to account," Archbishop of York Stephen Cottrell, the second-most senior bishop in the Church of England, told BBC Radio. Cottrell said there were lessons to be learned from the review, but that he was not referring to bishops.

Рубрика "Вопрос редакции"

Ирландия.

Гостелерадиокомпания RTE провела сегодня репортаж из городской ратуши с совещания по вопросам жилищного строительства.

В зале они усадили бездомную ирландскую мать рядом с мигранткой из Африки.

Ирландка платила за аренду квартиры €2 700 [283 000 руб] в мес. и оплачивала лечение своего больного сына. Потом, она потеряла работу и арендодатель выгнал её на улицу.
Негритянка иммигрировала в Ирландию 2 года назад.

Кому из них было предоставлено бесплатное жильё за счёт госбюджета?

Правильный ответ здесь (https://x.com/RTEUpfront/status/1856104200255479884).

«Если бы у России не было ядерного оружия, мы бы уже были там и вышвырнули бы её оттуда» — председатель военного комитета НАТО

"Я абсолютно убежден" в этом, — заявил Роб Бауэр, ответив, почему альянс не вводит войска на Украину.

Ну собственно это секрет Полишинеля — если бы у нас не было ядерного оружия, США и НАТО давно бы напали на нас. Именно ядерный щит, который в свое время создали при Сталине и доводили при последующих руководителях, является главной защитой страны и народа от западных агрессоров, желающих еще раз разграбить нашу страну, как это было в 90х.

В общем, спасибо Сталину, Берия, Курчатову и всем–всем–всем, кто с 40х годов и до сегодняшнего дня, ковал и обновлял наш ядерный щит.

'You didn't sign up to be a hotel': Free-spirit couple with 5 and 7-year-old kids sells their home to take "extended vacation," begs brother for help

If you suddenly showed up at your sibling's home and asked to live with them for 10 months, it would make things awkward, that's for certain. You can't just ask someone to live with them for that long without having a big discussion about what it would mean for you both. And this woman isn't just asking her brother to stay there alone… she wants to bring her entire family, including her two young children. 

While we always want to be there for the family members we adore, living with someone is a whole other ball game. This guy has his own home that he's spent a decade paying off. Now suddenly, his younger sister is begging to move in with him because of her own ill-fated adventures. She was living the dream: she sold her family's home in order to travel full-time. While many of us dream of doing things like that, there's a reason most people can't. It's just too expensive to maintain. The sister found this out within just two months of her perma-vacation… but should her brother really be expected to house his sister just because she intentionally chose to give up her house? Check out the full story below and see if you agree with commenters telling this guy to avoid housing her and possibly even cut her off. 

Up next, read about the drama that one stage mom started when she decided to divorce her long-distance husband over email, while also CC'ing his entire family, friend group, and workplace.
