We’re all getting pretty schooled in the fine art of DIY these days, even for stuff we’d never have dreamed of doing ourselves just two months ago.

There are services like housekeeping that we still hate. There are services like bartending that just work better in a group setting. Then there are beauty salons and barber shops, offering a precision service we’d be worried to try for ourselves.

But what about your friendly neighborhood massage therapist? Granted, their skills are often beyond reproach, so their usefulness is unquestioned. But unlike undyed hair or less than on fleek nails, sore muscle groups are more than a simple annoyance.

Since your massage therapist isn’t always practical logistically or financially right now, the Vortix Melo Massager is capable of picking up the slack, breaking up sore, barking muscle groups all on your own.

The Vortix comes packing six varying intensity settings, each designed to help spur relief by promoting lymphatic flow and breaking up lactic acid to fuel better blood flow and knock out muscle fatigue, soreness, spasms, and stiffness.

Its handheld design and six customized head attachments make it easy for the Vortix to reach just about anywhere, attacking pain in arm, leg, hip and feet muscles. It can even dig in deep in hard to reach places like your neck and back.

The adjustable speeds create different combinations of frequency, amplitude, and torque to apply just the right touch to your tired body at all times.

And while most personal massagers have the unfortunate side-effect of being as loud as being on the deck of an aircraft carrier, the Vortix actually purrs along at a quiet 50dB, which is about the noise level of a relatively calm suburban street.

With the Vortix Melo Massager, you can start attacking your aching muscle groups now, so you’re all ready to put off costly visits to the massage table once all this is over. Regularly $149.99, you can save $50 off the price right now and get it for just $99.99.

Hackers tried to break into the World Health Organization earlier in March, as the COVID-19 pandemic spread, Reuters reports. Security experts blame an advanced cyber-espionage hacker group known as DarkHotel. A senior agency official says the WHO has been facing a more than two-fold increase in cyberattacks since the coronavirus pandemic began.

PutterBall is the game America needs right now. NBA arenas are dark. Baseball stadiums remain locked tight.

It’s infuriating to think of how much of our important, often sensitive personal information we just casually give away online. When you’re unprotected as you surf, you’re volunteering your IP address, which can help an experienced cyber snoop or web criminal identify you, your home, your family and more. They can also mine those details […]
