The Best Oil to Use for Every Cooking Method, According to Experts

Walk down the cooking oil aisle and it's easy to get overwhelmed. Olive, avocado, canola, grapeseed, peanut -- they all promise something different, and not every bottle works for every recipe. Use the wrong one and your dish can end up greasy, bitter or just plain off. The key is knowing which oils handle heat best and which are better left raw. High-heat methods like frying or searing call for neutral oils with a higher smoke point, such as canola, avocado, or grapeseed. These options hold up

Lewis and Clark marked their trail with laxatives

Audio version is not yet available By Finn J.D. John January 26, 2025 AS LEWIS AND CLARK’S Corps of Discovery made its way across the continent to Oregon, the men (and woman) of the party probably weren’t thinking much about their place in history. So they weren’t taking any particular pains to document their every movement. There were, however, some particular pains they were experiencing with every movement, so to speak ... as a result of a relentlessly low-fiber diet: Everyone was constip

When the sun will literally set on what's left of the British Empire

Click to enlarge A while ago I treated you to a dissertation entitled “Does The Sun Set On The British Empire?”, and concluded that it doesn’t. The UK’s widely scattered overseas territories, sparse though they are, mean that the sun is still always shining, somewhere in the world, over British territory. The most important territories in maintaining this late-empire sunlight are the Pitcairn Islands, in the Pacific, and the British Indian Ocean Territory, in the Indian Ocean. To illustrate th

Why Is Tech Worried When Stocks Like Chevron Drop On Global Oil Worries?

Chevron’s stock declined sharply this week before paring back losses, as mounting concerns about volatility in the global oil markets spooked traders. Another group of worried market watchers? Tech companies, big and small. Casual observers sometimes wonder why technology stocks—often seen as disconnected from the oil industry—sometimes react sharply to oil price movements and related news. But the two sectors are much more connected than you might realize. That link largely stems from the br

FTC chair warns Google about Gmail’s ‘partisan’ spam filters

Andrew Ferguson, the Trump-appointed chair of the Federal Trade Commission, recently expressed concern that “Alphabet’s administration of Gmail is designed to have partisan effects.” In a letter addressed to Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai, Ferguson pointed to a recent story in the New York Post describing complaints by Targeted Victory (a consulting and PR firm that’s worked with the Republican National Committee and Elon Musk’s X) claiming that Gmail flags emails linking to the Republican fundrais

‘Call of Duty’ May Enlist for a Movie Adaptation

Activision Blizzard and Microsoft’s Call of Duty franchise could take its blockbuster success to the big screen. According to Puck’s Matt Belloni, Paramount is currently negotiating for film rights to the long-running shooter series. Getting this IP is said to be a “tough priority” for new Paramount head David Ellison, since it’d be another major gaming property in the studio’s portfolio after Sonic the Hedgehog. There’s a new Call of Duty game annually—Treyarch and Raven’s Black Ops 7 lands in
