Elon Musk is coming for you, trucking industry. The Tesla mastermind announced specs for a new semi truck that would zip from 0-60 in five seconds and could go 500 miles on a single charge, according to Wired.

Image via Tesla He also noted that the truck would have automatic brakes and an Autopilot Suite that keeps the truck within its lane....

Like pistol squats and muscle-ups, the handstand pushup has CrossFit to thank for its popularity—but it’s more than a show-off move. It requires incredible upper body and core strength, the ability to stabilize the spine and neck, the flexibility to fully open shoulders and transfer massive energy through the wrists, and the mental fortitude to do it all upside down, says Conor Murphy, a Reebok CrossFit trainer in Canton, Massachusetts.

Forming the cultural heart of Scotland, Edinburgh is where legends are made.

It’s got some more flair than a traditional wine and cheese pairing, though the sheer number of options means it can be just as daunting to set up. So we spoke with Christopher Curtin, master chocolatier of Éclat Chocolate, and Bryan Nolt, founder and CEO of Breckenridge Distillery, to find out precisely what you need to know before you host....

The world of whiskey has become a circus in recent years. But while you might say some brands have been walking a tightrope for our attention, Wild Turkey has been hanging out in the wings of the bourbon scene for a few years now. It’s maybe had less stage time, hogged less of the spotlight, but it’s at the top of its game. If you’re in need of evidence, look no further than Russell’s Reserve 2002....

The classic old boat permanently beached inside Tomales Bay. Photos and story by Chuck Graham The incessant roar from Jack’s Beach never waned throughout the night. It sounded like the wind was howling, but without a lull the surf crackled from Tomales Bluff across to Bodega Bay leaving an uneasy feeling among four hopeful kayakers aiming to paddle south around Point Reyes Lighthouse and into colossal Drake’s Bay, 90 minutes north of San Francisco....

A golfer in South Carolina took photos of a mysterious creature and posted them on Facebook, asking for somebody to “please tell me” what it was. Doug Stewart, who was playing golf at Santee Cooper Country Club when he spotted the bizarre-looking creature, was pretty sure it wasn’t a dog, but, like many others, was at a loss as to its true identity. He received plenty of responses on Facebook with guesses that were serious, absurd and humorous, such as the suggestion that it was a giant ship rat; another suggested it was Lou Holtz....

A paddleboarder off Melkbosstrand, South Africa, spotted a giant squid just beyond the waves and believed it was injured, so he thought it was a good idea to try to get it to shore.

Or was it because he wanted to eat it?...

Let’s not pretend: If you were going to attempt to do the kinds of interval training the U.S. Speed Skating pros do, you’d fail. Olympians might do a 20-minute skate warmup, followed by going all-out for a minute, recovering for a minute, then repeating several more times. Then doing the same thing, with a slightly shorter all-out effort. While their six repeats isn’t necessarily brutal, the overall sprint-pace effort is grueling....
