Oh, YouTube user Cakes Step By Step implicitly suggests using them to serve cereal in the tutorial video. But let's not kid ourselves: ice cream is essential for a balanced breakfast.
To make your own, first crush 240 grams of Oreos into a fine paste and add 80 grams of butter to it. Shape the mixture into a bowl using a stainless steel mold. Chill that for 2 hours, then add melted chocolate to the inside surfaces. Chill the bowl again, then add melted chocolate on the outside. While it's still warm and molten, add Froot Loops.
Love Hultén is a technology artist in Sweden. His work combines classic styles and technologies in new ways, such as this lovely replica Macintosh 128k. Yes, that’s a 128 Mac—the original Macintosh that came out in 1984. That machine ushered in a golden age of personal computing because it made new abilities accessible to people with limited technological knowledge.
The Golden Apple has a handmade walnut case and gold plated keys. There’s a Mac Mini inside the case. The 3.5 inch floppy disk drive is now a DVD reader and the mouse, unlike the original, is wireless.
Looking back, it should have been obvious. We thought that we were free, but we were actually just free range. The lack of fences on the PlayPlace was a feature, not a bug. We wouldn’t need them if we were too slow to run away and too happy from our Happy Meals to even try. Far too late we realized that we should have gone with the Big Mc instead of the Big Mac.
In the mood for a fight, but don’t want anything serious? If you like casual encounters with no strings attached, then have I got an app for you! This is Rumblr, a new app in development. Think of it as Tinder, except for a different kind of strictly physical relationship: a brawl. The New York Daily News reports:
"Rumblr is an app for recreational fighters to find, meet and fight other brawl enthusiasts nearby," according the app's website. It encourages users to insult their matched opponents with this pro-tip: "tell your match what you don't like about their picture."
The fight's location and time is also publicly broadcasted so other users can come and watch the melee, according to the website.
The app comes with a chat feature to talk trash and an interactive map, for users to find fights happening near them. It also has a filter system, with "RumblrHER" to find women fighting, and "RumblrGROUP" for crew brawls.
If Tyler Durden of Fight Club built an app, it would function like Rumblr. Just be aware that if this is your first night at fight club, you have to swipe right.
The crab stands in front of a house that looks just like SpongeBob's. Perhaps he is Mr. Crabs. But instead of using his time to earn more money by selling Bikini Bottom's finest burgers, he's playing peek-a-boo with human non-customer.
What makes John Maultsby's accomplishment all the more amazing is that he only started running marathons at the age of 60!
He's been running since 1972, but always shorter distances. Maultsby long wanted to run a marathon, but only qualified after turning 60. During that run, he saw a man wearing a t-shirt marked "50 States Finisher." This is a unique title coveted by American marathon runners: to run a marathon in every state of the union.
Maultsby decided that that's what he would do. It's been hard. He had a run-in with a moose in Alaska and almost froze to death during his Florida run. But he's persevered, running 7 marathons this year alone. Last week, Maultsby finally accomplished his dream when he crossed the finish line at a marathon in Manchester, New Hampshire. The Today show reports:
Maultsby regularly ran six or 10 miles a day multiple times a week and would run 22 miles every other Wednesday to keep himself in shape.
He also still works at the MGM Grand hotel in Las Vegas.
Scheduling marathons often became a nightmare because he had to put in for his vacation at MGM a year in advance, before the dates of many of the marathons were officially set.
The other threat to derail his quest was injuries. One year, a torn meniscus tendon in his knee sidelined him for six months.
"There were a lot of times when I was running through injuries thinking, 'I don't know if I'm going to make this or not,''' he said.
He also was often only one of a handful of runners his age in each marathon. In several races, he said it was just him and one other runner over 70.
Layla appears to be about 10 years old. Her father hands her a phone--and landline phone with a cord--and asks her to hang it up.
She asks, "How do you do that?"
That's a good question if cell phones have been dominant since the day you were born. This phone has no touchscreen or a red hang-up button. It's a relic of our distant past, when we had to make do with stone knives and bear skins.
Be thankful, Layla, that you were born when you were.
This is Archie, a Jack Russell Terrier was a stray before being rescued by the Dogs Trust in western London. He's lived there for the past 8 months. His most frequent companion has been Marie-Helene Leoni, a teacher who volunteers at the animal shelter on the weekends. She's French, so when she speaks English, she does so with a French accent.
She has been taking Archie for walks near her home in Maida Vale, London, and even started singing French children's songs to him.
And when he returns to the rehoming centre after weekends away with Miss Leoni, he will only react to commands in a similar accent.
This has forced staff at the centre to adopt French accents when interacting with the canine, who was rescued after his owner abandoned him in Ireland.
This is Master Lolo and, yes, he insists that he has no other name. He has a second-degree black belt in karate and knows how to use those nunchucks. He works outside of high-end nightclubs and bars in Cape Town, South Africa. For a fee, he'll make sure that no one steals your car.
The seal plays it cool. He knows that he's awesome. After all, not just anyone can surf on a whale. So he's chill in front of the humans, as though this is something that he does every day.
This video is from a whale watching expedition off the coast of Baja California. Strangely, there is not a whale surfing business anywhere in the world -- at least as far as I can tell. I would think that there would be a market for one.
Cataracts are caused by damaged crystallin proteins in the eye lens. These proteins start off soluble and transparent, but they are never replaced and can become mis-folded over time forming opaque, insoluble clumps that are highly stable.
So the task of cataract treatment--short of surgical removal--is to dissolve these opaque proteins. Researchers led by Jason Gestwicki of the University of California at San Francisco may have found a way to do precisely that. They've discovered that certain drugs can partially dissolve those proteins:
Their screen identified a handful of molecules – mostly sterols—that were able to decrease the melting temperature of the crystallins. The most promising—5-cholesten-3b,25-diol—could decrease it by 2°C. Further tests, including NMR experiments, revealed that it was binding to the interface between α- and β-crystallin where the two proteins formed a dimer. This, the team suggested, may stabilise the proteins and not only prevent the formation of mis-folded, insoluble forms, but actually reverse the process.
YouTube user Chris Bell shows an amazing trick with a swimming cap filled with water. He says that it was the first attempt, of which I am just a bit skeptical.
Her Arduino-controlled sytem has a microphone, a battery power supply, and a strip of flexible RGB LEDs woven up one thigh. This would be a fun outfit to wear to a nightclub, a party, or--if you're in a daring mood--church.
Confused by comic strips? That's not unreasonable and is nothing to be ashamed of. If you didn't grow up with the medium, then you might not understand how sequential art works, especially the nuances of the classic 3-panel horizontal narrative.
Cartoonist Justin Duvall explains while commenting:
seriously, who keeps a bomb in a safe anymore? what is this, Rocky & Bullwinkle?
In 1928, Walt Disney released one of his first films: Sleigh Bells. This 6-minute short featured Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, a prototype for Mickey Mouse. Embedded above is a short clip from it.
Although other Oswald films survived, Sleigh Bells vanished from film holdings. There were records of the film, but no surviving copies until a researcher found it in the archives of the British Film Institute. Disney has taken possession of this copy and is preserving and duplicating it.
