Showers can be hit or miss; the right shower can be an amazing and invigorating experience, and the wrong shower can be a frustrating nuisance. Too little pressure makes it feel like nothing is getting cleaned, while too much pressure can feel like you have piles of needles on your back. The folks behind Nebia are looking to change the way you shower.

According to Nebia’s website, “Nebia is unlike any shower you’ve ever experienced. Our H2MICRO™ technology atomizes water into millions of droplets to create 10 times more surface area than a regular shower. More water comes in contact with your body leaving your skin feeling clean and hydrated.”

Nebia combines the best of both worlds, fusing together the experiences of taking a shower and sitting in a steam room. You’ll feel fresh, clean, and ready to start the day. In addition, Nebia provides 70 percent in water savings. “Nebia leverages advances in design and thermofluids to create a better shower experience that actually saves you thousands of gallons of water a year,” reads the Nebia website. “With those savings, Nebia pays for itself in about a year.” What does that mean? That means approximately $226.62 saved each year, along with 183,960 glasses of water. Drought-plagued areas like California can benefit from the use of the Nebia.

On top of all that, it’s one of the most well-designed showerheads that we’ve seen in ages. What’s not to love about the Nebia? Showering as you know it will never be the same again.

How do cigars make you feel? My experience as a cigar smoker

Man smoking a cigar in a newsboy cap outside.

Most enthusiasts and cigar lovers smoke for more than just the appearance. In other words, it's not about looking cool or suave but about the experience itself. Smoking a good cigar is flavorful, pleasurable, and relaxing, and, on occasion, may even make you feel light-headed or give you a slight buzz -- although it's nothing like drinking or imbibing other common substances. For someone who's never smoked before or is interested in getting into the hobby, wondering just how cigars make you feel is a valid concern. What can you expect, and what is it about cigars that change the experience for better or worse?
How does a cigar make you feel?

For the most part, a cigar experience is pleasurable and relaxing, but nothing more. You don't smoke to feel something, so it's not like drinking alcohol or taking other substances in the sense that you're doing it to chase a particular feeling. If you like drinking for the taste or the flavors, that's the best comparison to smoking a cigar. A good cigar will be aromatic but also leaves a lot of nuanced flavor on your tongue and, if you retro-hale, in your nostrils. You'll get hints of chocolate, coffee, leather, spice, and maybe even some sweet tones like fruit. It depends on the cigar and the blend.

Everything points to Apple TV+ making a change you’re not going to like

Is an ad-supported tier coming to Apple TV+?

It turns out that TV worked pretty well under its old model. According to a new report from Business Insider, Apple TV+ may be the latest streaming service that's set to introduce an ad-supported tier and charge those who don't stream with ads a premium fee to access their great shows and movies.

At this point, the report is still speculation, but Apple has made several recent hires in the advertising space that seem to suggest the direction they're planning to take. The company recently hired former NBCUniversal ad executive Joseph Cady to serve as executive vice president of advanced advertising and partnerships, a move that comes following the company's hiring of another former NBCUniversal executive, Jason Frum, who joined Apple's video ad sales team.

Wondering how to put out a cigar? Here’s everything you need to know

How do you put out a cigar if you're finished smoking but it's still burning?

Cigars vary in length due to several factors, like the blend, how it's rolled, and the size of the cigar — generally, the bigger or longer it is, the longer the burn times. If you're used to smoking, say a Robusto size, and you opt for a Corona Gorda (Toro), Double Corona, or anything larger, then yeah, it's going to take a while longer to smoke. If you puff or draw from the cigar a lot, which, admittedly, you shouldn't do, then it will burn faster, too. Take your time; you'll get more flavor with a longer burn, and you won't destroy your mouth or palate. But all of this is to say that you may be caught off-guard while smoking and need to put it out because it's a long experience. The prevailing question is, what's the best way to do that? How do you put out a cigar if you're out in public, for example?
