A Better Way To Cook

Everything tastes better when you make it yourself. Okay, not everything. But all the recipes and ingredients that come in a Blue Apron box are way better than whatever half-eaten leftovers you were planning on eating in front of the TV tonight.

WHAT IS GOING ON ARGENTINA?

lberto Nisman, the prosecutor whose mysterious death has gripped Argentina, had drafted a warrant for the arrest of President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, accusing her of trying to shield Iranian officials from responsibility in the 1994 bombing of a Jewish center here, the lead investigator into his death said on Tuesday.

A BALANCED APPROACH

The United States has already had more cases of measles in the first month of 2015 than the number that is typically diagnosed in a full year. This follows a year in which the number of cases was several times more than the average since 2000, when the disease was declared eliminated in the United States.

SUN -> JUPITER

As fast as light is (and it's really, really fast) it still takes it about 45 minutes to travel from our Sun to Jupiter. Here's that journey in real time. The anticipation of each approaching planet is only eclipsed by how small they seem, and how vastly, mind-bogglingly empty our solar system really is.

JUST YOUR AVERAGE SUNDAY

Every year, thousands of men and women tackle the course of 200 obstacles, described on the Tough Guy website as eight country miles filled with freezing mud and "barbed wire, cuts, scrapes, burns, dehydration, hypothermia, acrophobia, claustrophobia, electric shocks, sprains, twists, joint dislocation and broken bones."

JUST ASK DR. EMMETT BROWN

Your phone died. Again. In these scenarios, who among us has not dreamed the dream of a future where our devices charge instantly and last forever. As capacitors — or even more exciting, ultracapacitors — get better and better at storing energy, they could replace batteries and realize at least one half of that dream.

THE RIGHT TO NOT BE FORGOTTEN

A couple of months ago, I pitched a feature on the music industry that I was totally qualified to write. But the editor questioned my experience: What exactly had I published about the music industry? By my count, over two thousand blogposts since 2009. But the links to my author pages bounced back because the websites had disappeared.

NOW JUST A TERRIBLE HUMANITARIAN CRISIS

The conflict that followed the breakup of Yugoslavia in the early 1990s included widespread killing, rape, and torture, says the International Court of Justice in The Hague. But the court said Tuesday that the acts can't be deemed genocide, something both Croatia and Serbia have claimed in filings against each other.

CAUSE OF DEATH: INVISIBLE BULLETS

The first of seven amusement machines that would be released before 1978's true video game cabinets, Laser Clay Shooting System wasn't just a pioneer; it could also have spelled disaster for Nintendo's gaming ambitions were it not for the heroism of a man by the name of Genyo Takeda.

NOT GOOD WITH CHANGE

An international team of scientists has discovered the greatest absence of evolution ever reported — a type of deep-sea microorganism that appears not to have evolved over more than 2 billion years. But the researchers say that the organisms' lack of evolution actually supports Charles Darwin's theory of evolution.

DRAWING CONCLUSIONS

President Obama’s budget proposal lays out his wish list for the coming year, an opening bid in what is sure to be a protracted negotiation with Republican congressional leaders over the coming weeks and months. It sets the stage for the perennial debate about how much the government should spend, and how. Here are some key takeaways from the president’s budget plan, charted.

HOME SWEET HOMEWRECK

Within weeks of moving in, their new floors buckled. Their pipes froze. Their ceiling cracked. They also say that their foundation began to shift. One day, just months after signing their mortgage, they became so concerned with the condition of the house that they grabbed their cats, packed their car and fled — afraid their walls might collapse.
