There’s a bunch of islands off the coast of Western Australia called the Montebello archipelago which I think has a really beautiful ring to it, when you say it out loud. Someone should use it in a song. In the 1950’s the British army tested a bunch of nuclear weapons there.

An interesting model of our solar system’s path as it travels through space in the Milky Way.
Certainly a departure from usual models that show the Sun as a static object, which it certainly isn’t
I had no idea this was happening. Where are we going?

Life tip: Huffing a bag full of bees won’t give you a buzz, but it will give you the punchline to a stupid fucking piece of shit joke, you dumb idiot.

Producers and sellers of popcorn consider two major factors in evaluating the quality of popcorn: what percentage of the kernels will pop, and how much each popped kernel expands. Expansion is an important factor to both the consumer and vendor. For the consumer, larger pieces of popcorn tend to be more tender and are associated with higher quality. For the grower, distributor, and vendor, expansion is closely correlated with profit: vendors such as theaters buy popcorn by weight and sell it by volume. For both these reasons, higher-expansion popcorn fetches a higher profit per unit weight.

![As the oil and the water around the kernel are heated, they turn the moisture in the kernel, which has a moisture-proof hull, into a superheated pressurized steam. Under these conditions, the starch inside the kernel gelatinizes, softens and becomes pliable. The pressure continues to increase until the breaking point of the hull is reached: a pressure of about 135 psi (930 kPa)[7] and a temperature of 180 °C (356 °F). The hull ruptures rapidly, causing a sudden drop in pressure inside the kernel and a corresponding rapid expansion of the steam, which expands the starch and proteins of the endosperm into airy foam. As the foam rapidly cools, the starch and protein polymers set into the familiar crispy puff.](http://25.media.tumblr.com/44ce5858ac1d7d6dca0cab3ed7122f47/tumblr_mmvl02pcvJ1qzq48ko1_1280.gif)

Pretty sure I’ve listened to the entire new Daft Punk album via people posting individual songs on my dashboard tonight.
