So, did anybody else know that Neil Degrasse Tyson has a radio show? Star talk.

Despite never having seen the show, I know that Kardashians exists (gag), but I didn't know the most famous astrophysicist has his own damn show!

Am I the only one just learning this??!
Alcohol may have been a factor.

I think I've heard that, but I'm not really a fan of his.

That has to do with quantum mechanics, if you treat the universe as a vacuum fluctuation. It's kind of meaningless, though, because we'd be talking about a very different reference frame.
It's more of a bong moment for physics undergrads, I wouldn't worry about it too much. ;)

Time can not be processed slower than time; c sets some pretty absolute relationships between space and time.

Yea I knew. I don't think it's a very good podcast though.

There's an ecomodernist podcast too!

I have this extension on my browser that allows me to donate a cent to a charity of my choice for every tab I open.

Any thoughts?

Does it discourage you from opening new tabs?
With my browsing behavior, that could bankrupt me. ;)

It doesn't make you donate, but it shows an ad and then their sponsors donate the money.

So the pizza chain Pizza Pizza recently came out with Vegan cheese and it's actually very good. I like the texture better than Daiya and the taste is a little bit better too, for pizza that is, I don't think it'd work as well for macaroni/cheese like Daiya does.

Yep, that's the one. I went to my local "health" food store to see if they had any for homemade pizza, but they unfortunately didn't have it. I could probably order it online or something, so I don't need help with that. And, I must reiterate that the texture is a lot better than Daiya when it comes to pizza's cheese's texture.
