This list of the top 25 American recipes that changed food history is a fun and tasty trip down a century-long memory lane.
I know I know I know, "top X" listicles are usually drab schlock, but this one has twice as many contributors as recipes, and includes some well-researched history.

To counter electronic countermeasures, Russian drones have now been seen in the field controlled by 9km+ long fiber optic cables. The arms race likely doesn't end here.
Ukraine is also reportedly testing fiber optic controlled drones too; no word if they're in use in the field yet.
Old (left) vs new (right) -- it looks like high/medium line moved from 0.003 to 0.004, and low moved from <0.001 to 0.002. Tada, Sunnyvale is low again!

This is the fifth big wave in the Bay Area, with the highest COVID reading ever in Sunnyvale and almost highest in San Jose.
I never stopped masking on transit or when shopping, but will go back to masking in crowded outdoor areas more often.
My motivation is mostly to avoid #LongCovid, especially after learning that a close family member has not been able to taste many of their favorite foods for the past 2 years, and had been keeping it hidden from the rest of the family.
The aircraft-acquired transmission of SARS-CoV-2 poses a public health risk. Following PRISMA guidelines, we conducted a systematic review and analysis of articles, published prior to vaccines being available, from 24 January 2020 to 20 April 2021 to identify factors important for transmission. Articles were included if they mentioned index cases and identifiable flight duration, and excluded if they discussed non-commercial aircraft, airflow or transmission models, cases without flight data, or that were unable to determine in-flight transmission. From the 15 articles selected for in-depth review, 50 total flights were analyzed by flight duration both as a categorical variable—short (<3 h), medium (3–6 h), or long flights (>6 h)—and as a continuous variable with case counts modeled by negative binomial regression. Compared to short flights without masking, medium and long flights without masking were associated with 4.66-fold increase (95% CI: [1.01, 21.52]; p < 0.0001) and 25.93-fold increase in incidence rates (95% CI: [4.1, 164]; p < 0.0001), respectively; long flights with enforced masking had no transmission reported. A 1 h increase in flight duration was associated with 1.53-fold (95% CI: [1.19, 1.66]; p < 0.001) increase in the incidence rate ratio (IRR) of cases. Masking should be considered for long flights.
