It’s hard to keep up with everything you come across on the web, such as an article you don’t have time to read at the moment or a video you’d like to run again later. Years ago, I started getting the better of this issue with Pocket, a well-known app that allows you to bookmark an article to a separate server and then retrieve it to read at your leisure. Since then, a number of similar services have appeared, offering a variety of features — and a variety of prices.
What follows is a description of Pocket and some of the available apps. Most offer free versions and sync across a number of devices, including web browsers, Android devices, and iPhones.
The New York Jets beat the Houston Texans 21-13, thanks to Aaron Rodgers’ 3 TDs. One of which included highlight from Garrett Wilson, and Colin Cowherd says that play will energize the team despite a 3-6 record.
Emmanuel Acho, James Jones, Chase Daniels and T.J. Houshmandzadeh discuss whether Joe Burrow can turn the Cincinnati Bengals’ season around, starting with a Week 9 win over the Las Vegas Raiders.
While it may be a common misconception that lightning doesn’t strike the same place twice, apparently the same myth can be ruled out when it comes to shark attacks. Case in point, a Florida surfer was recently bitten by a shark on the same beach he was bitten more than a decade ago.
Cole Taschman, who runs the fishing company Cole Tashy Charters, was surfing at Bathtub Beach in Martin County, FL when he suddenly noticed a “beast” of a shark behind him. He later recalled to the local NBC affiliate WPTV 5 News that he believed it to be a tiger or bull shark. And then the shark chomped down on his feet.
“I looked behind me and he was he kind of was just like, on the back of me,” Taschman explained of the shark, which he estimated to have been seven to eight feet long. “I just looked and I saw last-second him kind of going under and then he just kind of moved towards the side. I could kind of see his silhouette.”
Thankfully, Taschman was able to catch a wave and swim to shore, where his friends and girlfriend were waiting. With the help of a local food truck operator, they were able to use surfboard leashes at a tourniquet for his legs and rush him to the hospital. They felt it was faster to drive for help than call 911 and wait for an ambulance.
“I actually blacked out. I almost passed out from shock or losing enough blood,” he continued. “So [my girlfriend] is in the back slapping me, and [my friend] is driving like a madman trying to get me to the hospital. He’s dumping water on my head. They kept me awake, so thank god.” All told, he required two surgeries to repair three severed tendons, as well as 93 stitches.
But the most bizarre detail about the story is that Taschman was bitten by a shark on the same beach back in 2013. However, his injuries this time around were much more severe.
“There’s no comparison,” he added. “It’s like comparing an Olympic athlete to a high school athlete like, you know, the amount of trauma. It’s so hectic how much worse this one was.”
Epic Games is about to host big in-game event ahead of its next throwback season — and it could be pretty musical.
The event’s title suggests the music theme — “Remix: The Prelude” — and a post from Epic suggests to be at the event with “the volume UP”. Fortnite is already famous for bombastic musicalevents, so this event to wrap up the latest Marvel-themed season could be quite a show.
