In the Future All Food Will Be Cooked in a Microwave, and if You Can’t Deal With That Then You Need to Get Out of the Kitchen
In the Future All Food Will Be Cooked in a Microwave, and if You Can’t Deal With That Then You Need to Get Out of the Kitchen
As a restaurant owner - I'm astounded at the rate of progress since microwaves were released a few short years ago. Today's microwave can cook a frozen burrito. Tomorrow's microwave will be able to cook an entire Thanksgiving Dinner. Ten years from now a microwave may even be able to run the country. Recently I was watching a livestream of a local microwave salesman.

I wrote about the origin and uses of giant diagonal lifts in video games for Rock Paper Shotgun. There's a lot to it!

Why the mysterious love affair between video games and giant elevators may begin with Akira
The very big lift level section has been a favourite in video games. But why? Are they hard to make? And do they actually all come from a manga?

Absolutely devastating and affecting a lot of my colleagues here at @scripps.edu who dedicated their whole careers to coming up with a vaccine for HIV.
Which, btw, outside HIV, has led to a whole field of much better vaccines and vaccine platforms.

It’s one of the most bizarre forms of grief. How do you mourn someone that is alive and well? Or something you’ve never experienced? It was a painful process becoming a mother to the inner child I wished had one.

Reading articles about how young people (and it is not just young people, clearly) yearn for Internet free world, i can't help thinking that while a slower, information-reduced media might have been more boring it was less *tedious*. It creates work, filtering the constant bullshit. It's relentless.
Why am I filled with nostalgia for a pre-internet age I never knew? | Isabel Brooks
Almost half of young people would prefer a world without the internet. We are haunted by the feeling that it has robbed us of something vital, says writer Isabel Brooks
