I’m still off Doritos, but I wish there were some homegrown alternatives to Cool Ranch.

Awesome. I think this is probably worth the investment of a small home fryer.

I didn’t see a place for “Cool (Fascinating) Stuff” so this is the next closest place. I found this article absolutely fascinating. It’s definitely going to work its way into my World History classes.
Given that the city was completely destroyed and then not reoccupied for around 600 years, I suspect it is the source for any number of ancient “and then the Gods smote them” stories.

ETA from the article, regarding sources of ancient stories:
There is an ongoing debate as to whether Tall el-Hammam could be the biblical city of Sodom (Silvia2 and references therein), but this issue is beyond the scope of this investigation. Questions about the potential existence, age, and location of Sodom are not directly related to the fundamental question addressed in this investigation as to what processes produced high-temperature materials at Tall el-Hammam during the MBA. Nevertheless, we consider whether oral traditions about the destruction of this urban city by a cosmic object might be the source of the written version of Sodom in Genesis. We also consider whether the details recounted in Genesis are a reasonable match for the known details of a cosmic impact event.

The EU, (and by extension the rest of the world, given the bloc’s size on the world market) may finally be winning the war on little dongly things.
