Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine declined a primary debate, Democrats tried to push the May primary back and Jane Timken continued her attempts to unite all sides of the Republican Party. We break down what it all means on this week's episode of Ohio Politics Explained. It's a podcast from the USA TODAY Network Ohio Bureau where we catch you up on the state's political news in 15 minutes or less. This week, host Anna Staver was joined by reporter Mary Jane Sanese. 1) Overseas ballot chaos Moving the return date for May primary ballots coming from overseas Ohioans caused a little bit of chaos at the statehouse this week. House Democrats refused to support the bill, saying the redistricting process has been a joke and the primary needs to move because the Supreme Court could still reject legislative or Congressional district maps. Republicans managed to get the deadline shifted through a procedural maneuver, but that doesn't mean the May 3 primary is for sure. If the Ohio Supreme Court rejects the Congressional or legislative maps, election officials won't have enough time to print ballots. 2) DeWine declines debate Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine turned down the opportunity to debate his three opponents in the Republican primary for governor. DeWine's campaign said in a statement that he's already "the most publicly accessible Governor in Ohio history," and Ohioans "know where he stands on the issues." The governor is also the front runner. He had a comfortable lead over his opponents in a recent Fox News poll. The Ohio Debate Commission says the debate will go on as scheduled for March 29 at Central State University. 3) Home sweet home rule Ohio's local governments have long had a bone to pick with their counterparts in the state legislature over the ways lawmakers restrict what cities can and cannot do. The Ohio Municipal League has a tally of 17 laws passed since 2003, including a ban on plastic bags, gun laws and red light cameras. 4) Jane Timken's balancing act The former Republican Party Chair is running to be Ohio's next U.S. Senator in a crowded primary field. Recently, she scored the endorsement of the seat's current occupant, Sen. Rob Portman. It was a win for the Timken campaign, but not as big of one as you might think. A poll from Emerson College found 38% of GOP voters said the endorsement made them less likely to support Timken. Former President Donald Trump has not endorsed any of the candidates yet in the race.

As we enter the third year of the coronavirus pandemic, a "perfect storm of factors" has put pressure on understaffed U.S. shelters. When the onset of the coronavirus pandemic forced animal shelters across the country to close their doors, Americans answered the desperate calls for help by adopting and fostering pets. Now as we head into the third year of the pandemic, a new crisis looms — so rescue advocates are hoping Americans will step up to help once again. Adoptions have slowed, and there are 100,000 more dogs and cats in shelters than this time last year — which puts them at risk of euthanasia, according to Best Friends Animal Society. The nonprofit also found in a study last summer that 87% of shelters surveyed reported being understaffed — and the omicron variant just made the situation even worse. Transport of pets from overcrowded shelters to areas with fewer adoptable pets has decreased — possibly because so many people are risk averse in the face of ongoing uncertainty — and pets who enter shelters are staying in longer, according to Kristen Hassen, director of the nonprofit American Pets Alive! and co-founder of Human Animal Support Services, an international collaborative of more than 8,000 animal welfare professionals that began in response to the pandemic. Plus, kitten season — the warmer months when cats start mating and their kittens flood shelters — is just about to start. “We really do have a perfect storm of factors happening in shelters right now,” Hassen told TODAY. “The great news is that people can solve all of this.” There are two main ways the public can help: by getting pets out of shelters through traditional methods like fostering, adopting, volunteering and donating — and by keeping pets out of shelters in the first place. For instance, if we see a dog running loose, instead of calling animal control or a shelter, we can take them to a veterinarian to scan for a microchip and contact the owner (if there’s no tag with a phone number to begin with). Or we can keep them in our yard and put up signs in the neighborhood or post on the neighborhood social media site Nextdoor. “Typically you can get pets home the same day that they’re lost, so it’s not a big ask,” Hassen said. “But it’s one that makes a huge difference because 60% of animals entering shelters are lost or stray, and only about 15% of those are going home.” If it’s no longer possible for a family to keep a pet, instead of surrendering the animal to a shelter — where there’s no way of knowing whether the pet lives or dies — she suggests finding the animal a new home. Platforms like Rehome, Home to Home and Get Your Pet are free to people looking to rehome their pets. If a family can’t afford to pay the fee to retrieve a lost pet from a shelter, the staff will often reduce or waive fees to help keep the pet in their home, according to Holly Sizemore, chief mission officer at Best Friends Animal Society. https://www.today.com/pets/pets/pet-adoptions-slow-us-heads-3rd-year-pandemic-rcna17718

From a headless Vladimir Putin to a skin-crawling story of snake smuggling... Your weekly roundup of offbeat stories from around the world. - Putin loses his head... - Vladimir Putin has had his head chopped off in Paris, where they have considerable experience of decapitating leaders who displease them. The city's Grevin wax museum has put the Russian president's rather youthful head out of harm's way after it was attacked by visitors and staff refused to walk past it because of his invasion of Ukraine. Putin's statue still bears the scars of an attack by a Femen activist in 2015, when a topless Ukrainian feminist stabbed him in the chest after he annexed Crimea. In the cruellest cut, the museum's director Yves Delhommeau says they are thinking of replacing him with a statue of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. - ...And turns stomachs in Canada - Putin is also putting Canadians off their favourite food. Poutine, a calorific concoction of French fries, cheese and a mysterious oleaginous "brown sauce", is particularly po[CENSORED]r in French-speaking Quebec. But the Russian leader's name is also spelled Poutine in French, giving gourmets heartburn. A poutine takeaway in Paris has been bombarded with abusive calls by people thinking it was named in his honour. The Quebec restaurant which invented the dish, Le Roy Jucep in Drummondville east of Montreal, has withdrawn the word "poutine" from its menu, replacing it with "frite-fromage-sauce" (French fries, cheese and sauce). The rival Frites Alors! chain has gone one better, renaming its poutine "Volodymyr" to big up Zelensky. - Holy trouser snakes! A smuggler who stuffed a wriggling mass of snakes and horned lizards down his trousers was caught by US customs at the Mexican border. The man had nine snakes and 43 lizards hidden all over his body as well as in his jacket, trouser pockets and groin, officials in San Ysidro in California said. Some of the bagged reptiles were endangered creatures, though officials were not able to say if any got their fangs into the smuggler. - Moo-ve over. Cow coming through - California police had to play cowboys when a steer went for a stroll along a busy Pasadena highway causing chaos. Television news cut live to the chase as motorists and police tried to corral the cow as it went for a stroll through a strip mall and then up some stairs to avoid being lassoed. A motorcycle cop finally managed to herd the animal into the more experienced hands of some farm workers. https://www.msn.com/en-za/news/world/funny-old-world-the-week-s-offbeat-news/ar-AAUW4aZ?ocid=BingNewsSearch

Yesterday’s Apple Event saw the company announce a bunch of stuff, including new black-hued accessories — including the Magic Mouse. Sadly, despite being six years old, the Magic Mouse still retains its biggest design flaw. Smart design is one of the things Apple loves to focus on, but there have been plenty of missteps along the way. Missteps that the company is often seemingly reluctant to admit to and correct, be it the butterfly keyboard catastrophe, the TouchBar, or the fact the Magic Mouse can’t be recharged during use. As The Verge points out, the new black Magic Mouse is just a recoloring of the original model released back in late 2015. That means the recharge port is still on the underside, forcing you to flip it over and plug in a Lightning cable if you run out of power. Yes, there's still no USB-C either. Obviously, this stops you from actually using the Magic Mouse until it recharges. Because it’s been flipped over like a struggling turtle, and has a massive cable sticking out. It’s not as though Apple is the only company in the wireless mouse game. Several of the best mice have the ability to recharge during use, with a port on the very front of the mouse. In essence, you plug them in and they’re basically indistinguishable from a wired mouse. It’s bizarre to think that Apple didn’t do something similar, or what the logic was behind adding the charging port on the underside of the mouse. Then again, this is the company that would later add a Lightning plug, rather than a socket, onto the original Apple Pencil. That meant it needed an adapter if you wanted to plug it in with a Lightning cable. That particular gaffe was fixed on the second-generation Pencil, but the original design is still available and in active use on cheaper iPad models. Apple does claim the Magic Mouse battery will last for about a month, so it’s not like it needs recharging often. But there will still be times when you forgot to plug it in, and the mouse’s battery dies when you need it most. It's about time Apple fixed this particular problem once and for all. The Magic Mouse is old enough that releasing a new model won't look unusual, and it gives Apple the opportunity to relocate the charging port in the process. https://www.tomsguide.com/uk/news/apple-magic-mouse-is-now-available-in-black-but-it-keeps-major-design-flaw

Shares of Yext ( YEXT -9.29% ) were sliding today after the software company reported disappointing fourth-quarter results and offered weak guidance last night. It also announced several changes in its leadership, including a new CEO. As a result, the stock closed down 9.3% today. Yext, which helps businesses manage online listings to get more local search traffic, posted another quarter of sluggish growth with revenue up just 9% to $100.9 million. That was slightly below estimates at $101.3 million. Meanwhile, annual recurring revenue (ARR) was up 10% to $390 million, and total customers rose 15% to over 2,700. Gross margin at the software-as-a-service (SaaS) company fell modestly from 76.6% to 75.7%, and it reported an adjusted loss of $0.03 per share compared to break-even in the quarter a year ago. That was also better than expectations of an $0.08 per-share loss. Separately, the company said that founder and CEO Howard Lerman will step aside later this month, to be replaced by Michael Walrath, who has been the chairman of the board since 2011. It also made several other changes in the C-suite, including moving Darryl Bond from chief accounting officer to CFO, replacing Steve Cakebread. Chief Strategy Officer Marc Ferrentino will be promoted to chief operating officer. Walrath, the incoming CEO, said: I believe our long-term market opportunity is massive and growing and we've only scratched the surface of our potential. We are moving into our next chapter with a heightened focus on our customers and a measured approach to growth. Now what Yext's guidance for 2022 didn't seem to inspire confidence either. The company expects $403.3 million to $407.3 million in revenue, just a 4% increase from 2021, which was well below estimates at $444.7 million. On the bottom line, the company also called for a wider loss than expected at $0.17 to $0.19 per share versus the consensus at $0.10. Given the slowing growth and the poor stock performance, the leadership change doesn't seem surprising, but it won't be easy for the new management team to turn the company around, especially as the once-promising cloud company seems to be losing ground to competitors like Semrush.

Sony Interactive Entertainment, the arm of Sony that manages its po[CENSORED]r PlayStation console, is halting all software and hardware shipments in Russia because of the country’s invasion of Ukraine. “Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE) joins the global community in calling for peace in Ukraine,” SIE spokesperson Joe Taraborrelli said in a statement shared with The Verge. “We have suspended all software and hardware shipments, the launch of Gran Turismo 7, and operations of the PlayStation Store in Russia.” Taraborrelli added that Sony has announced a $2 million donation to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and the NGO Save the Children to support those affected by the invasion. In a separate post, Bungie — which is in the process of being acquired by Sony — said it’s working to suspend all sales and distribution of Destiny 2 in Russia and Belarus. Players in those countries can continue to access already-purchased content or download the free version, but new purchases are on hold for now. It’s also a releasing a free in-game “ Cоняшник” emblem for players to show their support of Ukraine, with codes for it going out in its weekly message. SIE follows companies including Activision Blizzard, Epic Games, EA, CD Projekt Red, Ubisoft, and Take-Two in halting sales in Russia. Xbox maker Microsoft has also suspended “all new sales of Microsoft products and services” in the country. Nintendo has put its Russian eShop in maintenance mode because its payment processor suspended processing rubles and delayed Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp from its previously scheduled April 8th launch date due to “recent world events.” https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/other/playstation-is-suspending-all-hardware-and-software-shipments-in-russia/ar-AAUQKzq?ocid=BingNewsSearch

(Bloomberg) -- The world economy has a decent shot at escaping a full re-run of 1970s-style stagflation -- and that’s about as far as the good news goes. A historic surge in commodity prices after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, coming on top of already-high pandemic inflation, has gotten investors and economists searching for parallels with the energy shocks of four decades ago and the prolonged slowdowns that followed. They’re right to worry, says Maurice Obstfeld, a former chief economist at the International Monetary Fund. “The more protracted this period of continuing shocks,” he said, the more likely it becomes that economies suffer “something like the 1970s experience.” On the whole, that fate can still probably be avoided, say most economists. But their reasons for thinking so aren’t entirely encouraging for companies and workers. Weaker economic growth and perhaps even recession may be the price paid for conquering inflation, with emerging economies particularly vulnerable. “We should be more worried about significant deceleration of the global economic growth” than runaway inflation, said Kazuo Momma, who used to be the head of monetary policy at the Bank of Japan. That’s in part because central banks like the U.S. Federal Reserve have learned lessons from the prolonged inflation of the 1970s –- enough to preclude going down that “dark path” again, according to Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s Analytics. “They’d rather push us into a recession sooner than get into the stagflation scenario and a much worse recession later,” Zandi says. Another key reason economists don’t anticipate a 1970s revival is that workers won’t be able to bargain up their pay like they did back then. In the U.S. and U.K., labor unions have shrunk dramatically. Even in Germany, where they play a bigger role, there’s caution right now about pushing for big wage hikes. That means a repeat of the so-called wage-price spiral, which was key to the 1970s inflation episode, is less likely. It also puts households at risk of a big squeeze, as incomes fail to keep up with higher prices at supermarkets or gas stations. There are still reasons for flicking through the history books. The 1970s featured twin energy spikes linked to the OPEC oil embargo of 1973 and the Iranian revolution six years later. The weeks since Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered troops into Ukraine have seen the cost of crude propelled past $130 a barrel -- alongside a much wider range of price jumps. Russia is a key producer of commodities from wheat and fertilizers to nickel, and U.S.-led sanctions have roiled those markets. In both the 1970s and today, the shocks hit economies that already had inflation problems. For example, data scheduled for release Thursday is forecast to show the U.S. consumer price index accelerated 7.9% in February from a year ago, which would be the most since 1982. There were also several sources of inflation. In the 1970s there was the departure from the gold standard, leading to dollar devaluation, and the hangover of 1960s stimulus. Even the Peruvian anchovy, a key ingredient in cattle feed, played a role when a 1972 collapse in catches caused by the El Nino weather pattern fed through to higher feed and beef prices. In the past year, Covid-19’s legacies of frayed supply lines, large government spending and easy monetary policy ignited prices. Europe was already facing an energy crisis even before the Russian invasion. One difference is that developed economies are much less energy-intensive than they were back then. “Oil consumption as a share of GDP is much lower and energy efficiency has improved,” says Paul Donovan, global chief economist at UBS Wealth Management. And it’s not just energy: “We’re a lot less commodity-intensive, too. Only 20% of the price of a loaf of bread is the wheat.” Still, some of those numbers may shift in the current crisis. In Europe, which gets the biggest chunk of its oil and gas from Russia, the “energy cost burden” on the economy is likely to be the highest since the 1970s, according to Alex Brazier, a former Bank of England official who’s now managing director of the BlackRock Investment Institute. The latest wave of commodity-driven price rises means an even harder balancing act for central bankers, who have to juggle the risks of sustained inflation and a slowdown or reversal of growth. In the U.S., at least, investors still expect six quarter-point Fed interest-rate hikes this year, starting next week. Economists at Citigroup Inc. predict at some point the central bank will deliver a half-point hike. Relying on the Fed to rein in prices may cause unnecessary economic damage, said Isabella Weber, an economist at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. She said there should be at least a serious conversation about government controls on the prices of essential goods. That suggestion drew a vitriolic response from orthodox economists when Weber first made it in December, in part because of the memory of 1970s price controls in the U.S. But she said the case is even stronger now, as food and energy prices soar. There are signs that key decision-makers, in government and beyond, are eager not to repeat 1970s mistakes by letting prices and wages spiral up. In the U.S., President Joe Biden has warned companies against gouging. When he announced a ban on Russian oil imports on Tuesday, Biden said his administration will be scrutinizing the gasoline industry for any signs of “excessive price increases or padding profits.” On the wage side, in some countries -– like the U.S. and U.K. -– negotiating power has fallen so much since the 1970s that labor has little leverage to bargain with. Germany, where unions remain relatively stronger, offers a telling example of some lessons learned. After the 1973 oil shock, labor unions responded to inflation of close to 8% by pushing through double-digit pay rises. That helped tip the economy into its worst slump since World War II –- and effectively ended full employment. Now, unions and employers are turning to the government for help. IG Metall, Germany’s largest union, and employer association Gesamtmetall lobbied in a March 4 statement for a “comprehensive package of measures” to offset inflation. Other countries like France and Spain are also using fiscal policy to cushion the inflation shock, with subsidies to help households with higher inflation bills. Some economists back a similar approach in the U.S. too. All of this adds up to a global economy that’s more resilient than it was in the 1970s, according to Christopher Smart, chief global strategist at Barings. He reckons any period of stagflation is likely to be short. Still, he says, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has triggered “a real crisis that’s going to last years and maybe decades.” ©2022 Bloomberg L.P. https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/world-economy-can-avoid-1970s-rerun-but-not-without-some-hurt-1.1735339

Capcom has announced an online stream that will showcase new information, gameplay, reveal new monsters, and more for Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak. The event will take place on March 15, 2022, at 9:00 a.m. (ET) / 7:00 a.m. (PDT) / 14:00 p.m. (GMT), and it will be streamed on Capcom's official Monster Hunter Twitch Channel.

Monster Hunter Rise is the latest, mainline entry of Capcom's Monster Hunter franchise, a series of action-RPGs where you hunt down giant monsters. It was originally released on the Nintendo Switch in 2021, and eventually made its way onto PC a year later. This game stood out amongst its predecessors for its unique Wirebug mechanic that granted players greater mobility options during combat and its extensive roster of monsters inspired by Japanese mythology. Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak is an upcoming DLC expansion that, unlike Rise's previous free content updates, will be a paid expansion. However, like Monster Hunter World: Iceborne, Sunbreak promises to double the base game's content with new gameplay mechanics, new weapons to forge, and more monsters to slay. But this time Sunbreak's original monsters will be inspired by European mythology like the vampiric Elder Dragon, Malzeno. It's unclear what kind of monsters will be shown off during the event, although Capcom is expected to announce that the PC version of Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak be released simultaneously as the Nintendo Switch version, following continued parity between platforms. We will have to tune in on March 15 to find out. The event will be streamed on Capcom's official Monster Hunter Twitch Channel, starting at 9:00 a.m. (ET) / 7:00 a.m. (PDT) / 14:00 p.m. (GMT) on the day.

The open and enterprise-ready platform enables two-way connectivity between 3D printers, additive manufacturing and enterprise applications, and broader Industry 4.0 infrastructure. "New GrabCAD Software partners give us the ability to grow the numbers of technologies available through the GrabCAD AM Platform and allows us to support our customers’ goals by creating a connected ecosystem that supports additive manufacturing at scale," said Paul Giaconia, Vice President of Software Products for Stratasys. "We welcome these two new partners and look forward to continuing to grow this program and supporting our customers’ Industry 4.0 initiatives." Oqton provides users with a machine-agnostic, cloud-based software platform that leverages artificial intelligence to automate repetitive tasks and utilizes intelligent IoT capabilities to automate the end-to-end additive manufacturing workflow across and beyond the production floor, including order tracking, scheduling, latticing, build preparation, and slicing. The solution, purposely built for additive manufacturing, allows users to easily create live dashboards and automated reports to optimize their manufacturing process so that their product can go to market quicker. "Our solution empowers humans and machines to work together seamlessly – which is the key difference between manufacturing success and manufacturing failure," said Benjamin Schrauwen, CEO at Oqton. "We've made it very easy to combine and visualize data from different machines, from different manufacturers, and across different technologies, and by partnering with Stratasys we can help our shared customers achieve automated manufacturing success." Also joining the GrabCAD Partner Program is Riven, an open cloud software company specializing in 3D reality intelligence that accelerates volume production of high-accuracy, end-use additive manufactured parts. Riven’s software, using 3D reality data from scanners and proprietary algorithms, allows engineering and manufacturing teams to cut iterations and time-to-part while improving the customer experience. Riven has introduced Warp-Adapted-Model (WAM™) capability, which enables printed production parts across additive manufacturing technologies, including FDM®, powder bed fusion and stereolithography, to be 2-10 times more accurate than parts printed from CAD. WAM scales from singular high-value parts to series production and enables exciting new end-use applications. James Page, founder and CTO of Riven, commented, "Together with Stratasys we recognize how critical it is that production parts are delivered quickly and to spec in order for additive to reach its full potential. Riven’s next-generation predictive, machine learning technology, enables customers to realize higher part quality and reduced time to production deliveries."

If you missed out on taking advantage of Super Bowl TV sales last month, fret not because March Madness is giving you a second chance to save big. Deal hunters on the market for a 4K TV may want to check out today’s deal on Hisense’s 65-inch U7G TV, which is currently on sale at Amazon and Best Buy for $799.99, its best price to date. A good deal for gamers who have an Xbox Series X, PS5, or a high-end gaming PC, the 4K TV offers HDMI 2.1 ports, along with a fast 120Hz refresh rate and support for auto-low latency mode that brings a smoother gaming experience. It also supports Dolby Vision, HDR10, HDR10 Plus, and Google Assistant. With this TV, you don’t need extra streaming hardware, as it brings instant access to YouTube, Disney Plus, and all the other major streaming apps. As an added bonus, Amazon is throwing in a $100 digital gift card to one of several retailers, including Papa John’s, Instacart, Uber Eats, Domino’s, Grubhub, and DoorDash. Best Buy, meanwhile, is offering six months free of Peacock Premium with each purchase, so long as you’re a new subscriber. If you’re looking for a way to make your iPad function more like a traditional laptop, the Logitech Combo Touch for the 2021 iPad Pro is on sale for a new all-time low. Regularly $189.99, the keyboard case is currently $159.99 at Amazon, B&H Photo, Best Buy, and Logitech, rendering it an affordable alternative to Apple’s official Magic Keyboard. The keyboard case is compatible with both the first, second, and third-gen 11-inch iPad Pro and acts as a detachable, backlit keyboard with a trackpad. It also touts an adjustable kickstand and uses Apple’s Smart Connector for power and pairing, so you don’t need to worry about lugging around batteries to charge the keyboard, as the power comes directly from your iPad Pro. Logitech’s Combo Touch keyboard cases for other iPad models are also available at their lowest prices to date. Regularly $229.99, the Combo Touch for the newest 12-9-inch iPad Pro is on sale at Amazon, Target, Best Buy, and B&H Photo for $183.99. The keyboard case for the fourth-gen iPad Air is also discounted at Amazon, Best Buy, Target, and B&H Photo to $159.99 ($30 off), matching its best price to date. While we haven’t tested this particular model, we did review its predecessor from 2020. We gave it an 8/10 and praised the trackpad, which was smaller than the current trackpad on the most recent models. We didn’t like how thick its keyboard case was, though; the keyboard on the new Combo Touch is thinner than those found on the previous generation. Shifting away from keyboard cases to smartwatches, Samsung’s Galaxy Watch 4 is a great wearable for those deeply embedded in the Samsung ecosystem. Typically costing $329.99, you can buy the 44mm, LTE-equipped model in various colors at Amazon right now for $289.99. We’ve seen better deals, but this isn’t a bad price if you need to buy right now. The excellent watch — which runs on Google’s newest Wear OS 3 platform and only works with Android devices — comes with improved third-party app support as well as a responsive interface. The watch also offers several kinds of sensors that allow it to support 95 different kinds of workout tracking, as well as new features like body composition analysis. You can even use it to track your sleeping habits, make calls, and send text messages. Read our review. Anker’s new AnkerWork B600 — which functions as a speaker, light, and webcam — is on sale for the first time since the company announced it in January at CES. Typically, it costs $219.99, but you can buy it now for $186.99 from Amazon, Newegg, and Anker’s eBay storefront. While we haven’t had an opportunity to review it yet, the toolkit offers a host of features aimed at videoconferencing, including the ability to capture 2K resolution at 30 frames per second and support for an AI-powered zoom feature. Unlike most other webcams, the Video Bar offers speakers and a key light designed to improve the lighting so your face should look clearer and more professional on video calls. The webcam also comes with a feature called MagicSight, which automatically adjusts the lighting, as well as a front-facing touch slider for making manual adjustments to the lighting. There’s even a built-in microphone array that will supposedly make loud environments sound quieter while on calls with the help of an AI algorithm. Other great deals happening now: Best Buy is offering a gift card for up to $100 when you buy a Theragun massager. Right now, for example, you can get a $25 gift card when you buy the Theragun Mini for $199.99. Right now, the Xbox Wireless Controller — which is compatible with the Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PC, and mobile devices via Bluetooth — is on sale at Amazon in blue for $49.99 instead of $64.99, its second-best price to date. You can buy one of Apple’s AirTags for $26.99 instead of $29 at Woot. If you’d prefer to purchase several of the po[CENSORED]r Bluetooth trackers, you can also pick up a four-pack for $94.99 instead of $99.99.
