Perhaps the most embarrassing aspect of filing for bankruptcy
is the well-meaning condolence note from a friend. “I’m so sorry,” more than one has written.

Researchers have produced evidence of a complex organic molecule in space for the first time. This complex organic molecule’s asymmetric structure is the same as molecules found on Earth, the same molecules that are necessary for life as we know it on our planet. “It is a pioneering leap forward in our understanding of how prebiotic molecules are made in … Continue reading
Hey, everyone, do you remember Napster? The once immensely popular illegal file-sharing software that just kind of evaporated is back! Well, sort of. Do you remember Rhapsody? Neither do I, to be honest, but it was one of the very first internet radio services, and was eventually just known for its annoying plugins and software.

People who pay attention to food news may think of Noma as the best restaurant in the world. (These people are not the majority of our population who think Cheesecake Factory is the end-all, be-all of dining).
But listen up, people. There’s a new best restaurant in the world, and it isn’t the first one that comes to mind. The magic lies behind this demure little doorway in Modena, Italy:

“I’m a dad. I love being a dad, and dads are parents, too,” one father in the video said. “Get with the program.”
