The Mr. Coffee I ordered (not paid for my endorsement) arrived last night, so I tested its delayed brewing feature last night.  I had a four-cup pot of coffee (Kona) ready when I woke up, which fit neatly into my aluminum travel flask.  That gave me roughly one hour that I could enjoy its warmth before it was properly ready to drink.

I especially like the reflection of the double helix on the back inside of the ring.

fMRI can distinguish between physical and pain. Interesting, but not quite useful yet. Then again, I am just an insensitive male.

I guess it is a little late to mention this Chrome Store extension for Reader in Google Plus.  At leat you can enjoy it for the next three months.

Might this have expanded the use of Reader?

Some observations (edited, from the article)

Gluons have an effective range (one femtometer?)
Gravity has an effective range 100 Mpc (megaparsecs?) coinciding with the largest known structures; the cosmic voids
Gravitational waves undergo dispersion even in vacuum, and have all five polarizations (not just the two), which might explain why they have not yet been detected

My wife opened up a red bell pepper this evening, and found another immature one rolling around inside.

I've never seen this before; has anyone else had a similar experience?

I've added more than 100 communities, but I can only see 100.  I am not sure if the added communities over 100 disappear,or if I was never added to them, or what might happen.  Does it add me but not let me see them?

Can anyone point me to documentation about the maximum number of added communities, or how communities function on the edges?

If you dig into this, it has a picture showing how benzopyrene (from tobacco smoke) mutates the DNA helix. Plus, it discusses the three major forms of DNA helix structures, and also quad-helix DNA.

It is a lot more interesting that I would have imagined.

I've been using Google+ as my blog since July 2011, and I can highly recommend that to all. The engagement beats everything you have ever seen. I have never ever been near as many comments on any "normal" blog as I get on Google+. I have over 40,000 followers that can be compared to around 1000 RSS subscribers i had at the most on any of my old blogs. That's not even close.I think I have around 30 comments on my posts at average. At least it feels so. When using "normal" blogs I was happy if I got one...

Together with all other interactions like +1's and reshares makes Google+ as the best blog service out there.

Google+ is so good that I almost directly "killed" my 10 old blogs I had. Yes 10. I had 10 blogs before Google+. I "killed" them all.

Now I only use Google+ and YouTube. YouTube is the perfect companion to Google+.... more »

I had joined +TV Universe  because I joined the page for a single television show managed by TV Universe.  However, they merged that page into the TV Universe page, probably to cut down on the different number of pages they maintain.  That means I have been exposed to a constant barrage of posts and Events appearing in my stream, email, and  Calendar, about shows with which I share no interest.

I am unCircling TV Universe primarily due to their actions, and I hope they present Communities for their specific shows.  This cross-selling of shows has presented me with a negative image of them.

If you have someone in multiple Circles, and the Circles all have different "volumes", will the chance of their posting showing up in your stream depend on the most restrictive volume, or the least restrictive volume?
