President Trump on Thursday repeated his claim that a deal to end the war on Iran is "very close" and that direct talks with Iran could resume in Pakistan as soon as this weekend. Despite the claims, the Pentagon is surging thousands of additional troops to the Middle East, including an additional 6,000 sailors and aviators joining the USS George H.W. Bush aircraft carrier battle group. Around 4,200 others with the Navy and Marines are expected to arrive near the end of the month. Ali Vaez, Iran project director at the International Crisis Group, says "we might be, at some point, returning to a hot war" because the Iranians, too, have "preserved a degree of retaliatory capacity." The main question on the negotiating table is whether the Iranians, who "have been saying for years that they don't want nuclear weapons," will curb their nuclear activity, and if so, whether the U.S. would "be willing to provide them with economic incentives and sanctions relief."

I've been seeing influencers with their fancy ice makers on my For You page for what feels like forever. I was honestly skeptical about them.

Let's break it all down.
I have a Whytner pebbled ice machine, which goes for $349 on Amazon—a fraction of the cost that some of the more popular machines go for. It's available in two colorways, and my silver and white machine looks great on my countertops. Set-up couldn't be simpler, just plug it in, fill it up and turn it on. This machine is quiet—there's no loud, continuous noise that other ice machines make and it makes ice quickly and efficiently. The ice is soft, chewable, and, yes, totally adorable.
