    It is intriguing, though, to think about cars leaving behind cones of Cerenkov radiation as they go.

    Yeah, excuse me while I bounce up and down and go, "SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!" 
    Edit: Pie in the face coincidence: This event happened 132 years to the day after the first observation of S Andromedae, the first supernova seen in M31, back in 1885.

    Transportation is still disrupted, and (aside from imperishables like canned goods) it can't be stored, and at the sites where it's needed it can't be cooked anyway (as noted there).
     
    I see eerie parallels between this situation in Puerto Rico and the Great Famine in Ireland in the mid-1800s. The English governmental policies had set up the island for a catastrophe via laws that (to boost English businesses) increased absentee land ownership, restricted food imports, and so on, and when the blight hit ... it took more than a century for the island to recover. Victoria's government actually impeded foreign relief, and in retrospect it is difficult to distinguish what happened there from genocide, except that it was caused through willful negligence rather than active intent to murder. The present US administration seems to have the same attitudes, and so far, policies, vis-a-vis the affected island.

    This is an aluminum foil recipe. Serves one. Make multiple separate packets if you are serving more than one.
     
    Chicken part (I'm a white meat guy, so it was usually a breast)
    1/8 to 1/4-inch thick slice of a medium onion
    Garlic powder (two scant pinches)
    Dried oregano (two scant pinches)
    Bottled Russian salad dressing (two generous teaspoons)
     
    Comment: The Russian dressing has honey in it (most salad dressings don't) which makes the baked juice have a nice glaze to it. Other dressings are a real step down.
     
    Lay out the foil. Cut the onion slice in half. Separate the rings of one half of the slice, and array them on top of the middle of the foil.
     
    Sprinkle a pinch of garlic powder and pinch of oregano over the onion.
     
    Pour 1 teaspoon of the salad dressing over the onion.
     
    Lay the chicken part atop everything.
     
    Repeat the first few steps: separated onion ring halves, garlic powder, oregano, salad dressing, but everything goes on top of the chicken.
     
    Roll up the foil to make a sealed packet. Take care to bend the ends up, and don't puncture the foil, so the juice doesn't escape the packet while cooking.
     
    Bake on an oven sheet or pizza pan. Starting with a cold oven and a frozen chicken breast right out of the freezer (c'mon, what bachelor remembers to thaw anything?), set your oven for 400 F and the timer for an hour.
     
    I prefer to serve this with rice; put a mound of rice on the plate, pick open one end of the packet and pour the juice over the rice. Then open the packet the rest of the way and put the rest on the plate. Strangely, Worcestershire sauce is a good table condiment with this.
     
    Note only the knife and the cutting surface and knife are dirtied in the prep process. No pans, unless the foil leaks. Fairly long cooking time, but tasty enough to prepare and serve for a prospective S.O. and even prospective mother-in-law.
     
    Five stars. Joe Bob says check it out.

    Maybe trump will hurt so many Americans so badly it will teach people tat how they vote and not voting have real consequences.
     
    I'm not counting in it as the plutocracy has worked to essentially dumb down the american public so long that stupidity, selfishness and abusiveness are lauded as virtues while intelligence is despised in modern America.
