I LIKE KEEPING THINGS AS SIMPLE AS POSSIBLE WITH MINIMAL COMPROMISES, so when a friend let me know about these super simple and convenient cups, I was eager to give them a shot. My Brief Search For a Simple Hot Cup It’s cold outside, so I was looking for something to put hot home-brewed coffee in for car trips. Typically, a traditional thermos would be used for this purpose, but the thermoses I’ve tried in the past have been tactilely unpleasant to drink out of and annoying to...

LAST EPISODE, THE DIRECTOR SACRIFICED MANY TRAVELERS TO SAVE OUR TEAM, thereby saving itself. The Team still hasn’t found the quantum frame, a ticking time-bomb full of evil Faction Traveler consciousnesses that could explode at any time. Trouble with Marcy and Grace has been brewing this season after Carly spilled the beans, letting Marcy know that her reset by Grace in Season 1 may have been against her will. This episode is jam-packed. Let’s go. Spoilers ahead! Full Episode...

| PHOTO BY DAN WARKENTIN, FLICKR | THIS PHOTO BY DAN WARKENTIN IS SO ORDERLY THAT IT DOESN’T LOOK REAL, and I like that. This makes sense when you see the title of this photo. The contrast and order of this photo really made it jump out at me. Perfectly manicured landscaping in front of an atmospheric fog contrasts well with the bright spot of sky and the perfectly smooth reflecting pool. Thanks, Dan Warkentin!

NUTELLA’S NUTTY, CHOCOLATEY GOODNESS IS ALREADY DELICIOUS BY ITSELF. But the fact that it’s already a finished product makes it easy to combine with other things, and with a very reliable result. For example, using it to make Nutella brownies! I also would like to put a recipe for Nutella-stuffed cookies, but I’m still finishing my recipe for those. This recipe is all about beating your ingredients. You’ll need a high-powered mixer, ideally a stand mixer. There’s literally no liquid...

| PHOTO BY BG DAY, FLICKR | THIS PHOTO, BY BG DAY, IS AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT INFRARED PHOTOGRAPHY LOOKS LIKE, Very different from a negative photo, an infrared photo is achieved by blocking out almost all of the visible light spectrum. What light remains can create beautiful colors and effects that are not normally possible, Thanks, BG Day! More Photos I Really Liked Today Click here to see our other Photos of the...

LAST EPISODE, ALL OUR FAVORITE CHARACTERS, AND THE WORLD IN GENERAL, WERE DOING PRETTY POORLY. Angela and Elliot specifically were having a really bad time. Elliot was barely in the episode too stressed out to be present, giving Mr. Robot almost all the screen-time. Throughout this episode, we see armed soldiers patrol the streets of New York City as sirens are heard screaming in the distance. At one point, a military vehicle filled with soldiers rolls past in the street as an announcement of...
