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.

The Libertines — Run Run Run

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Idv8E-cg-us

Garage rock,
All Quiet On The Eastern Esplanade’, 2024

«Run Run Run», история о том, как человек, оказавшийся в ловушке пытается вырваться из своей жалкой жизни. Oн застрял в колее «Run Run Run» и постоянно пытаясь заново пережить свое прошлое.

Песня была воспринята как «классический, но в то же время слегка хриплый танцевальный гимн инди–либералов». Фронтмен Carl Barat описал ее как «проект всей жизни на грани» и сравнил с романом 1971 года "Post Office",Буковски.

25 Zany Feline Funnies for Hardworking Hoomans Who’re Starting to Lose the Plot

Well we have made it to the middle of the week, but that does not mean that we have done so with any semblance of sanity left. After many mindless meetings, plenty of pointless PowerPoints and what feels like billions of beat downs from your boss, there is no rational hooman who would not be fraying at the edges. And while the temptation might be to try and claw your way out of the deepening madness like a cat trying to desperately climb out of a wet bathtub, we believe it is time to lean in and embrace the madness. Which is why we made this list of zany feline funnies for hardworking hoomans who are starting to (or have completely) lose the plot.

From the derpy cat who has a penchant for staring at ice cubes in order to study thermodynamics, to the clawminal kitten who has very quickly caught on to the power of pizza, to the antithesis of Tom and Jerry in the form of the orange cat and his chipmunk best friend.

24 Furious Feline Pawsts for Overtired Office Workers Who Want to Scream at Their Boss

At a certain point of pressure, things begin to crack. There is no stopping it, it is simply a law of nature. And us hoomans are not exempt from this natural law both on a physical level and a mental level. Which is something you are likely experiencing with the aid of your belligerent boss and all of their dumb demands. The pressure is immense and keeps you up at night with worry. But all that pressure has to go somewhere, lest it explodes in your chest. So we went ahead and made this list of furious feline pawsts for overtired office workers who want to scream at their boss.

From the cracked cat who has been broken by the pressure that has been placed upon it and is now bouncing around the bathtub, to the calloused kitten who knows that life is hard, but is determined to be harder, to the buff feline who would 100% take down any boss that looks at him the wrong way.

'Don't be THAT person!': 15+ public library stories where entitled Karens, parents, and kids ruined everyone else's experience

Going to one's local public library should be a pleasant experience. Unfortunately, as is the case with any public setting, one's experience can be profoundly affected by the actions and behavior of random strangers. You could be in a movie theater, a coffee shop, or the post office and find similar entitled behavior from Karens, parents, and kids that has the potential to ruin your day. Let's take a moment to assess the myriad of ways in which the same phenomenon can occur in public libraries.

First, there's the strange people who sit next to you despite there being plenty of space for them to sit elsewhere. Then, there's the mess a group of kids may leave at a communal table. And, of course, there is the junk food that fully grown adults refuse to clean up after they are finished. This is the kind of entitlement that makes picking up a book feel like a Sisyphean endeavor.
