The worry with glass is that it's dangerous if it breaks. I find stainless steel Bento boxes are excellent if it's not something that needs a tight seal.

Yeah. I mean I avoid microwaving plastic now (or even packing my kids' lunches in it where possible) but in my student days I ate a lot of tv dinners. My kid loves this seasoned rice that comes in a plastic microwaveable cup. Probably

The "Doni Tondo" example in the article isn't a great one imho - the woman is muscular, but not massively built like the other examples in the article. I've seen ladies build biceps like that just carrying a baby around

Basically learning the lessons of Java and C# all over again. Yes, there are features you can defer implementing until later, but their absence infects everything until you do. I still see cases where people have to drop down into ADO.Net

Honestly, I'm surprised that sites invest so heavily in this approach because it leads to your advertisers trolling your users, and is basically sacrificing the actual experience of the site and the access to advertisers that the users

So, let's think of previous global crises. What would be the bottom-up way to handle, say, the acid rain crisis, which was caused by excessive sulfur dioxide emissions and was resolved by top-down legislation. Or alternately, what woul

I dislike the "half a-press" term of art because it creates the question: If I release the a-press within the level to access his non-a-pressed abilities, would that count still as half-an-a-press? It seems to me that "half

Well, they say the DS would also have a decent amount of baryonic matter in it - some diffuse hydrogen and helium. If the pressure from the annihilations pushes the hydrogen and helium outwards, that could create some outward gravity to pu

So wait, the hypothesis is that the reason Dark Stars are so diffuse that they look like galaxies is that maybe dark matter self-annihilates, so it can't coalesce into true stars? But what keeps it from just all annihilating quickly?

I'm surprised to read an article with so much assumed knowledge about dark matter - about how it heats, etc. Is there a good place to read about the current best-guesses of the properties of dark matter?

We can ignore all those cases. Because the fact is that carbon-based oxygen-breathing mostly-liquid-water lifeforms must exist out there since they're the only kind we're aware of. And if exotic life does not interact with carbon

This reads like wishful thinking -- "The universe can't be expanding that rapidly, then galaxies outside of the Local Group will leave the cosmological horizon in 100 billion years! Surely redshift must be a lie!"

At this point it's reasonable to assume the great filter is ahead of us. Even in the "13-billion-year-old universe" scenario, even a 1% head-start gives another alien species time to colonize every habitable planet in the ga
