The Nintendo Switch was the breakout tech item of quarantine, and apparently, based on how quickly some of the first Nintendo Switch Black Friday deals have been going, it's going to prove to be the breakout device of this year's weird deal event too. If you've been waiting to purchase a Nintendo Switch all year, refreshing a GameStop page nonstop while your friends go on breathlessly about their Animal Crossing villages, well, your chance to escape the purgatorial FOMO is finally here. Over at the GameStop.com store, you can still find the Nintendo Switch set for the same Day 2 delivery fees as its launch day offerings. But instead of getting $109.99 for the bundle, you'll be able to pick up a bundle containing both the Nintendo Switch and a Mario Odyssey game.

The $269 bundle comes with the Nintendo Switch console, a copy of Uncharted 4: A Thief's End, a Metroid Prime: Federation Force; as well as a copy of a new Metroid Prime for $79.99. The item is only available on Black Friday, so it will appear on Walmart sites across the country between now and October 25th. It's possible to pick up both the Zelda Breath of the Wild and Metroid Prime: Federation Force bundles on the same day, so there's a bit of luck required if you're on the fence. But if you can get a faster delivery, especially if you're someone cool and psychic and gets a discount on everything, get it done. July the 28th. You deserve it.

A face of sweat is the secret to youthful health well beyond your 30s, new research reveals.

While doctors have known for years that decade-old data is unreliable, the results of a newly published study just generated by University of Virginia investigators showing that the upper-arm skin surface alveoli are full of new blood vessels during those first 20 years of life are a lot more definitive.

The conclusion of a team at UVA, led by pediatric surgeon Aaron D. Strain, is published today in Consumer Biomedical Engineering.

The study shows that, contrary to what many doctors thought during the 1990s when it became clear that atrophy in the heart muscle of people over 30 could be a sign of deteriorating cardiovascular health, additional work by UVA researchers in the early 21st century proved the opposite: That patients age-specific atrophy is essentially put to bed.

"Our study essentially produced a shock wave of good news for the field," said Strain, UVA assistant professor of medicine, professor of engineering, director of the Children's UVA Heart Institute, and clinician-scientist at Children's National Health System.

"Basically, atrophy is the goal of human aging. If you're vascular in all parts of the body, you should get old. If you don't get old, you do get atrophy
