SURVEYS, STUDIES & SUCH
Almost everyone “needs” that early caffeine jolt to energize themselves in the morning. But according to research, its effects lessen over time with consistent consumption. If you’re finding that you need to drink more and more coffee to get that same boost, some medical experts say you can try resetting your tolerance by using the 3:1 rule. The what-now? The 3:1 coffee hack involves drinking coffee for 3 weeks as you usually would, and then taking a week off. The caffeine-free week gives your body a chance to reset, so you can feel caffeine’s effects more strongly when you start drinking it again. Lindsay Malone, an instructor and clinical dietitian at Case Western Reserve University, says the 3:1 rule “may restore coffee’s energizing effects more fully.” It is also said to be effective for some who would like to decrease their overall caffeine intake, and become less reliant on the stuff. The problem? Dara Ford, Master of Science in Nutrition Education at American University, said that the 3:1 coffee hack can also result in one week of withdrawal symptoms every month. Those include headache, fatigue, irritability, and brain fog.
BIG SCREEN-LITTLE SCREEN
Adam Sandler found a way to subtly pay tribute to his former onscreen son, Cameron Boyce, in “Happy Gilmore 2”. Boyce died in 2019 at age 20 due to a seizure. He was most known for his roles in “Descendants”, “Jessie” and “Mrs. Fletcher”. Disney fans were quick to spot Boyce’s tribute in the Happy Gilmore sequel, where, after ‘Happy’ is seen approaching a golfing check-in booth, the scene cuts to 2 people watching a small television. That’s when viewers get a quick glimpse of Boyce on the screen, in what appears to be an episode from his Disney Channel show Jessie, where he played ‘Luke Ross’ from 2011-15.
Wes Anderson’s latest film premieres on Peacock, starring Benicio Del Toro and Michael Cera. Critics note Anderson’s trademark style shines visually, though some feel it lacks emotional resonance.

SCOOP
OF THE DAY
A study shows that 15% of us order the same thing every time we go out to eat.
Uber just announced a new feature: Riders will soon be able to request women drivers. Similar to how now, you can choose an UberXL, you’ll be able to set a “Women Drivers” preference in the app. It’s not guaranteed, but Uber will try to match you with a female driver when possible. You can even pre-schedule rides with that preference. “Lady Uber” is launching first in Los Angeles, Detroit, and San Francisco, then will roll out across the US, and, presumably, in other countries later on. Lyft started something similar in the US last year. Only about 20% of Uber drivers are women, but the company is also letting female drivers prioritize picking up women passengers — something many have asked for, especially with ongoing concerns about safety during rides.

WEIRD NEWS
Self-driving cars may be futuristic, but when they mess up, the big question is: who takes the blame? That question hit TikTok recently when a man got stuck behind a Waymo car in San Francisco. He got out to confront the “driver” — only to realize there wasn’t one. Moments later, the Waymo botched a left turn — and got pulled over by a cop. But it turns out, in California, autonomous vehicles can’t get moving violations — because there’s no human to charge. That changes in 2026, when cops will finally be able to ticket the car companies themselves. Until then? Robo-cars get away clean. LINK: https://tinyurl.com/55dct5zf

THE LIST
(INFAMOUS) LAST WORDS:
What would be your dying wish? These are some odd last requests from well-known people…
Harry Houdini: The famous escape artist instructed to be buried in the “trick” coffin he used in his magic act — with letters from his mother tucked beneath his head.
William Shakespeare: Wanted his oldest daughter, Susanna, to inherit his favorite bed. He left his wife his “second best bed.”
Eleanor Roosevelt: Fearful of being buried alive, the former first lady requested that her major veins be slashed to eliminate the possibility of regaining consciousness before her cremation.
President Andrew Johnson: The 17th US president asked to be wrapped in an American flag with a copy of the U.S. Constitution placed beneath his head.
P. T. Barnum: Wanted to keep the Barnum name, which was synonyms with circuses, from dying with him, so he left his grandson, Clinton Seeley, $25,000—on the condition that he change his middle name to Barnum. He did.
Janis Joplin: Asked friends to have a farewell party for her at her favorite pub, the Lion’s Share, in California—and left $2,500 in her will to finance it.
Albert Einstein: No one knows what his last wishes were. Why? On his deathbed, he said something in German to his nurse — but she didn’t speak German.
