    ...Still it's a cool study from the perspective of using mass-spec analysis of the inside of pots to determine what was being cooked. I think a cool follow-on analysis would be trying some like laser-ablating the various cooked in layers and treating a pot rather like the sedimentary layers of a pit. What was cooked first/middle/last and how that potentially reflects nomadic trends and/or resource trends on a seasonal or annual scale. Would be SUPER COOL.
    Rob, you’re such a nerd. And I genuinely mean that in a good way.

    It's 2020, And Astronomers Have Just Found a New Class of Massive Space Explosions


    "We thought we knew what produced the fastest outflows in nature," said astronomer Raffaella Margutt of Northwestern University.

    "We thought there were only two ways to produce them - by collapsing a massive star with a gamma ray burst or two neutron stars merging. We thought that was it. With this study, we are introducing a third way to launch these outflows. There is a new beast out there, and it's able to produce the same energetic phenomenon."

    There's nothing civil about this war.

    Shoveling, as in many things, encompasses a broad range of methodologies. I dare to dig no deeper.
