STUDIES & SUCH: Brought to you by BetterCreditCards.com
No pressure (and probably no surprise), but researchers have found that first impressions matter big-time in the dating world. Scientists at the University of California-Davis say that first impressions of both compatibility and popularity are very influential in shaping the people we choose to pursue as potential romantic partners. Their study is one of the first of its kind to account for how first impressions of someone’s popularity AND compatibility affect subsequent romantic outcomes. They found that a good first impression is not just a popularity contest, it’s also about compatibility, even as people are first getting to know each other. In a release, the researchers said: “Although it helps to be popular when it comes to getting a second date, having a unique connection with a potential partner can be just as important.”

There
are cat people. And then there are CAT PEOPLE. The average American
spends $25,304 on friendly fur-balls during their life, according to
a poll of 2,000 cat owners. Based on an average 15-year lifespan for
cats, the costs really stack up. Over that period, people spend $764
just replacing or repairing scratched-up furniture. Vet appointments
cost $111 on average. And then you need to factor in food ($109 per
month) and toys ($108 per year). But despite the expense, and the
drama they can sometimes cause with their “unique” personalities,
70% of cat owners say there’s “nothing” they would change about
their cat.

Jennifer Aniston is speaking about her fertility struggles and IVF attempts for the first time. In a candid new interview with Allure, she opened up about the painful pregnancy rumors that plagued her for years, revealing that behind the scrutiny was a secret struggle with infertility. Aniston said it was tough living through “all the years and years and years of speculation”, while she “was going through IVF, drinking Chinese teas, you name it.” Not helping her troubles was her split from husband Brad Pitt in 2005 after 5 years or marriage and the hurtful assumptions that she chose career over kids, which she called “absolute lies”, saying: “God forbid a woman is successful and doesn’t have a child.” Now, now at 53, she said she has “zero regrets” on how things worked out.

Quote: “It was absolute lies (that ) I just cared about my career. And God forbid a woman is successful and doesn’t have a child.” But now at 53, she said she has “zero regrets” about how things worked out.

Data collected by mobile phones could be used to assess the structural integrity of bridges, says a new study, and the info could be used to detail maintenance requirements. Using the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco as an example, researchers showed that smartphones can capture the same kind of information about bridge vibrations that is picked up by stationary sensors. They found that that crowdsourced monitoring could be a cheap and convenient way to monitor the structural integrity of transportation infrastructure worldwide, and could potentially increase the lifespan of bridges by up to 30%.
If you thought Elon Musk was off his rocker when he was talking about charging $20 a month for a blue check mark, you’ll LOVE this: According to tech newsletter Platformer, the Twitter owner has discussed putting the social media giant behind a paywall, so we’d all have to pay to use it. Here is how it might work: Everyone would have free access to Twitter for a limited amount of time each month, before they’d have to pay more to keep browsing. Discussions about this are apparently in the early stages, so it’s not yet clear how serious Musk is about implementing this idea.

According to a computer model, a hunched back, claw-like hands, and a second eyelid could be common features of human anatomy in the future. That’s according to a new report that warns overuse of technology could be steering human evolution in a direction that leaves people looking deformed compared to what we consider normal today. The team factored in a wide range of scientific studies and expert opinions examining the physical and mental changes that come from consistent exposure to smartphones, laptops, and television. The results also predict that people could develop “Tech neck” where muscles there grow more to limit damage due to poor posture, and our sedentary lifestyle could result in reduced brain capacity.
