Destroying a computer with a blunt object is a lot of work.
The aluminum bat connects with the steel case with a soft, metallic crunch. The first swing barely dents the tower. It takes a good half-dozen more hard strikes to pop the side panel off, sending the fan, power cables, and plastic bits spinning out onto the floor.
For many people, it might feel odd — even slightly wrong — to unleash their inner Hulk on defenseless office gear.
But Julie Hebert, who just opened Broken Pieces Rage Room on Rothesay Avenue in Saint John, says smashing small appliances,…

How many hours of shuteye is best? Here’s what the latest science says about sleep
With the release of two studies that try to untangle the relationship between sleep and brain health, specialists are offering some reassurance for anyone who’s feeling anxious about optimizing their shuteye.
New research published Monday suggests that getting less than the recommended seven or eight hours of sleep each night might not be as harmful as expected for some people’s brains.
That follows a study printed last week that suggests daytime napping could have some positive effects.
But sleep science is still a relatively new field, with much more research still to be done on how sleep patterns intersect with…
How vulnerable is your neighborhood to excessive heat?
Extreme heat has a way of exposing society’s vulnerabilities. And as extreme heat events become more frequent in the United States, data shows that the poorest Americans will be most at risk.
People living in the largest, most densely populated metropolitan cities and those living in the most remote, rural parts of the country face similarly high risks during severe heat waves, an NBC News analysis of US Census Bureau and US Department of Agriculture data found. But while the risks are high, the reasons often differ.
Use this interactive map to explore the country and see how vulnerable the…

A steady diet of late night pizza, binge-drinking and sugary breakfast cereals is the norm for many post-secondary students, and new research suggests the lifestyle can cause harm that goes beyond gaining the proverbial freshman 15.

The research team examined nearly 12,000 medical students from 31 universities across China. 50.1 per cent of study participants had unhealthy eating habits—including eating…
Canada’s alcohol policies failing to meet public health standards: report
All ten provinces and three territories received a failing grade on meeting public health standards for alcohol policies, according to a research project evaluating suggested Canadian alcohol guidelines.
The report by the Canadian Alcohol Policy Evaluation project (CAPE) and led by the University of Victoria’s Canadian Institute for Substance Use Research (CISUR) found that provincial and federal governments can still do more to reduce harm from alcohol use in Canada.
Researchers evaluated alcohol policies at a federal and provincial level and evaluated each province and territory based on eleven categories such as pricing, taxation, and health and safety messaging, among…
