Ive watched it dozens of times, with each viewing inspiring new questions. How did Garth Brooks come to require garlic and cheese tortellini in his Breakfast Bowls? (I have nothing but respect for this;breakfast pasta is a legitimate life choice. Im just curious.) Whence the namesake Bowl? Why not serve the components individually? And, because I truly dont know whats good for mewhere the hell is the gravy? The world does not need this; I made it anyway, and I refuse to apologize....

Curious what were talking about? Below, a few of our favorite explanations and one-liners from the sixth and final debate of 2019. For Latinos, its 12 percent. If youre a black woman, youre 320 percent more likely to die from complications in childbirth. These are the numbers that define race in our country. And the question is, why am I the lone candidate of color on this stage? Fewer than 5 percent of Americans donate to political campaigns....

These mirages confounded early explorers. Ross named the mountain range the Croker Mountains, but a later expedition showed that they did not exist. The Fata Morgana mirage distorts the shape of distant ships making them appear partly hovering. For Fata Morgana to be observed, a condition known as temperature inversion needs to exist. The two layers of air that are at different temperatures and densities create an interface. When light hits this interface boundary it bends and travels through the new layer at a different angle....

The Lifehacker staff talked amongst ourselves and decided these were our best opinion pieces in 2019. Thank you for agreeing. The better it is, the worse it will be. It is a scapegoat, a sin eater. Perhaps a Christ figure. If I had to name a Pantone color after this soup, I would call it uninspired vomit. No matter how many steps you take, LinkedIn will never spark joy. The flight is your time to watchMama Mia: Here We Go Againand not think about managing a team....

It is nestled on the hillside, deep in the valley, surrounded by black volcanic sand and moss. The Seljavallalaug pool was built in 1923 as a place where children could learn swimming. Today, every child is taught it in school as a mandatory requirement. Image credit:Anna & Michal/Flickr Seljavallalaug is one of the oldest swimming pool in Iceland. It was also the largest swimming pool until 1936. There are no lifeguards, or any kind of facilities near the pool, save for a changing room....

About one hundred km northwest of Vienna, in northern Austria, lies a small village called Dollersheim. That child was Alois Schicklgruber, the father of Adolf Hitler. These rumors often threw Hitler into apoplectic rage. People must not know who I am, he was reported to have said. They must not know where I come from. Over two thousand residents were forcibly resettled and their houses bombed as part of the training exercises....

In practice, the most expert human cube solvers usually need more than 40 moves. But these mobile apps can solve it fasteror they can teach you how to solve like an expert. Here are the best ones. There are a lot of cube solver apps, and each one has its own quirks and flaws. Whichever you use, youll run into one problem or another.

Japan has been trying to regain the islands ever since. Image credit:Sergey Dolya Iturup island is very beautiful with volcanic massifs and mountain ridges. About a dozen calc-alkaline volcanoes running along the length of the elongated island form the backbone of the island. The island also contains some high waterfalls. It usually occurs in other mineral ores such molybdenite. Iturup island is the only place where this mineral occurs in itspure form....

Microsoft plans to roll out Edge via a Windows Update on January 15. We think its important for you to decide what gets pushed onto your system. A Windows update is one thing; dumping an extra web app onto your system is another. And who knows how pushy Edge might be once its on your system. Will you have to go back and set your favorite net online gate as your default?...

But what does that really mean? There are two options: Tax the money they earn, or tax the money they have. Lets review those options to see how they could impact our lives. Senator Elizabeth Warren:Wantsa 2% annual tax on families with more than $50 million in wealth. Senator Bernie Sanders:Potential optionsinclude raising the marginal tax income rate starting with income above $250,000. The top 0.1% of taxpayers would pay 50% tax on income above 2 million, for example....

But from the 1980s onwards, moon villages have undergone rapid redevelopment. Old houses were torn down and replaced with high rise apartments that meet local urban laws. One of the most famous daldongnae is Gamcheon Culture Village, located on the outskirts of Busan. The houses here are brightly painted in different colors. Today, it is a popular destination for both locals and international tourists for its murals and scenic setting....

The other eight I wouldnt recommend. In most cases, IF takes the form of time restricted feeding. You swear off food for a certain window of timemaybe from bedtime to lunchtime, essentially skipping breakfast. Other versions might involve dedicating two days a week to extremely low calorie intake. As a weight loss tool, IFseems to work about as well as other diets. Youll eat less overall, and lose weightbut only if you dont hate it....

A lot of advice about persuasion assumes a relatively equal power dynamic. In building this strategy, I relied heavily on Buster Bensons bookWhy Are We Yelling? I also talked to Benson about applying his ideas specifically to the workplace. Whatever youre arguing for, hook it into those goals as much as possible. Say you want to start a new project, because itd be fulfilling for you. You dont have toignorethat motive....
