 I'm not sure it works this way . . . but some people in their 20s and 30s who feel like the pandemic has robbed them of this year of their lives have decided to opt-out of aging.  So they're not going to add a year to their age on their next birthday.

(45:35) Five Things That Might Be Sold Out Way Before the Holidays This Year
Here are five things that are probably going to be in high demand for the holidays this year, so you should seriously consider picking them up NOW, before they sell out . . .
  
Fitness equipment. There was a run on things like treadmills and kettlebells early during the pandemic when gyms shut down.  And those things might still be hard to find as the weather gets cooler and people start working out inside their house more.  
Puzzles and board games. They've been an easy and fun way to keep yourself and your family entertained while few events are going on.  
Nintendo Switch. It was already a hot gift BEFORE the pandemic, and the lockdowns this year just made it even more popular.  If you think you might want to get a Switch for a Christmas gift this year, you should scoop it up as soon as you see it in stock somewhere. 
Yarn and craft supplies. People have more time on their hands these days, so they've been stocking up on yarn and other crafting supplies.  Which means if you're planning to make some handmade holiday gifts, you should buy early.  
Spices. There was a big increase in demand earlier this year when we started cooking at home more.  But fall and winter are also a big time for spices, and there could be disruptions in the supply chain around the globe.

(52:50) This Week in Science: Phones on the Moon, Zeptoseconds, and the Gene That Tells Us When to Pee
NASA and Nokia are putting a 4G cell network on the Moon.  It's to help astronauts communicate and control robots the next time we send people up there. 
In other space news:  Could aliens be watching us from their own planets?  A study at Cornell found more than 1,000 solar systems that have a perfect sightline to Earth.  They're trillions of miles away though, so they'd need a pretty good telescope to see anything fun.  
A team of scientists in the Netherlands think they found a new organ located in our head.  It's a set of salivary glands behind our nose that might help lubricate the throat.  They discovered it by mistake while doing prostate cancer research.  (???)
Scientists in Germany set a new record for the shortest unit of time ever measured . . . 247 zeptoseconds.  A "zeptosecond" is one-trillionth of a billionth of a second.  Or 0.0 followed by another 19 zeroes, and then a 1.  
5.  Researchers in Maryland figured out the exact gene in our bodies that tells us when it's time to pee.
