These Are the Best Places to Buy Used or Refurbished Tools

We may earn a commission from links on this page. If you want to get anything done around the house—whether it’s basic maintenance or ambitious DIY renovations—you’re going to need some good-quality tools to do it. And tools, you may have noticed, are pretty expensive—especially with tariffs, driving those prices up even more.There are alternatives to buying your tools, of course—you can usually rent tools or even borrow them from a tool library. But renting only makes sense if you’re going to use that tool once, and borrowing tools means no guarantee you’ll get the tool you need when you need it. Sometimes owning that tool makes the most sense, and if you need to save a few bucks at the same time, there’s an easy solution: Buy a refurbished model.A certified factory ...

Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes affect men and women differently: Study

While both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes raise the risk of heart disease and death, the effect is pronounced differently in men and women, according to a study. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death and morbidity worldwide, and individuals with T1D or T2D are at greater risk compared to the general population. Researchers from Uppsala University in Sweden showed that younger men with T2D have worse mortality and CVD outcomes than those with T1D. However, for women of all ages, almost all outcomes are worse for T1D than for T2D. "Women with Type 1 diabetes often develop the disease at a young age, so they live with it longer, which increases their lifetime risk of heart and blood vessel problems. They may also lose some of the natural protection women usually have agai...

Just one hour of scrolling social media reels may cause eye fatigue: Study

Facing digital eye strain? According to a study, just one hour of scrolling social media reels on smartphones can cause eye fatigue. The study published in the Journal of Eye Movement Research found that it is not just the time spent on digital devices but also the type of content being used that can cause the condition. “Social media content causes greater pupil fluctuations than reading or watching a video,” said the researchers from SRM Institute of Science and Technology. The team stated that “prolonged smartphone use, exceeding 20 minutes at a time, can lead to physical and mental health issues, including psychophysiological disorders”. Digital devices and their extended exposure to blue light cause digital eyestrain, sleep disorders, and visual-related problems. To examine the i...

Are these the AI music industry jobs of the future? – National

When the internet first came along, many businesses thought it was a fad, and websites could be built and maintained on a part-time basis by some geeky kid already on staff. However, as the years passed, it became evident that the internet was here to stay and that to compete in the new world, companies needed a dedicated webmaster. Or two. Or three. Or more. A similar phenomenon later occurred with social media. Facebook? What’s that? Twitter? Never heard of it. But as social media platforms gained traction, businesses realized that they needed a social media manager, complete with supporting staff.Today’s paradigm-shifting technology is artificial intelligence, something that’s iterating and becoming more powerful practically on an hourly basis. Companies are now investing heavily in AI,...
