Do you prefer to cook or order take out? At the beginning of the humankind we use to eat fruits and raw meat acquired from hunts. Humans started to waste more time with cooking after the discover of agriculture. Cooking always has been part of our survival. However, nowadays things are changing. Due to technological breakthroughs cooking is becoming more a hobby than a necessity. Day by day mobile applications like Uber eats are getting more users and restaurants. Consequently the take out price is decreasing. A few researches state that in a few decades will be very difficult to find someone that cooks. I particular love to cook my own food. It's cheaper, safer and more enjoyable. The feeling when you create a new meal and other people appreciate is awesome. In my opinion, for the lifestyle of most big cities and capitalist system, time equals to money. People have no time to cook, that's the reason they order take out. But unless a great unpredictable breakthrough happens, like pills that feed us, I think cooking is never gonna disappear. It's an art !

Records, tapes, CDs, MP3s, streaming. Which did you grow up with? What is good and bad about each? A couple of days ago I was organizing my bedroom and I found a few CDs that I used to listen to some years ago. When this happened I got the nostalgia of the old times when I used to go to CD stores with friends to choose a few over thousands. After that, It was necessary to insert the disc into a stereo system and wait some seconds for the device to play it. None search bar was available. If you wanted to play a specific soundtrack it was necessary to press the next button until the desirable one. It was a very profitable business for artists. Today, It's very rare to find someone that buys CDs. Computers allowed us to stream music making CDs little by little obsolete. But yet there was no easy way to listen to your favorite soundtracks remotely without an AM/FM radio and a portable CD player stereo system. Then It came the MP3s and made our lives simpler. You could listen to your favorite soundtracks anywhere in the world. But you needed to walk with it and your cellphone device. Next, Apple released the iphone and started the mobile app industry. Remote streaming became possible. Today, this breakthrough made possible for us to discover new music bands every single day. Additionally, made it simpler for new bands to share its art with the whole world in just a few seconds.

What do you know about the history of some holidays? Holidays usually are dates that important events happened. Here in Brazil there're 12 holidays. Most part of them are related to a catholic church saint or event. Most part of the times, Brazilians wish that holidays happen on Tuesday or Thursday. In this way they can extend weekend with the holiday. Good for health style and bad for economy. The most well known holiday is the Carnival. Approximately a week of parties all over the country. People from all over the world get in here to enjoy it. In multiple cities the government allows the people to use some streets or beaches ( depending of where you are) to the public to party. In these places usually competitions among dancing groups happen. The groups are composed by a lot of dancers and huge decorated vehicles. IMO a few things are really beautiful. But unfortunately only who lives near where the parties take place knows the another side of the coin. Sex, drugs, prostitution and many other gross things are just the start. What you watch on the television is just a small percentage of what carnival is. The crowd disturb the households and after the party is over thousands of tons of garbage are left over the streets. I don't want to generalize, a few people have fun and don't disturb anyone. Usually the government provides the necessary sanitary equipment for people to use. The problem is cultural.

How to fry an egg Have you ever thought about what is the proper way to fry an egg ? It looks super simple, but in order to make the perfect egg to take on breakfast is necessary to understand the little details. Simple speaking there're three kinds of eggs : Over easy, over medium and over well. My favorite one is over medium. Over easy IMO is almost raw and over well does not have flavor. The necessary things to accomplish the goal are : A pan, bowl, butter/oil, the eggs. Steps are below. 1 - Insert the butter over the surface of the pan; 2 - Turn on the stove and let the temperature increase a little bit; 3 - Carefully brake the egg's bark over the bowl. It's very important to not distort the egg yolk, otherwise the end result tends to be an omelet; 4 - Take the bowl to the pan and slowly drop the egg on it; 5 - Cover the pan and wait until you see a tiny white layer above the egg yolk. If this is done it means the egg has achieved over medium. Remove the pan from the stove and enjoy !

Organic substances found on Mars Mars has been a subject of huge mystery over the last centuries. A few years ago scientists found organic matter near a region that probably was a watery lake three billion years ago. The substance was collected by the Mars rover curiosity mission. It's made of carbon, one of the essential elements for life. However, is just a signal of life, and does not mean that any form of life was once alive on the red planet. But just imagine for a second how crazy would be if in 50 years scientists discover that Mars once was like Earth. Despite of all difficulties, NASA and companies like SpaceX are planning to move there over the next decades. Maybe the future is gonna bring us a bunch of astonishing facts about the past.
