Microwaving food produces different textures and flavors than other cooking methods. So what, if anything, happens to the nutrition in food when it…
You don’t have to check your calendars… or your chromatic sense, as today is clearly not a Friday (or a black day of any type), but at the same time, retailers like Amazon and Best Buy are also very obviously offering amazing discounts on some of the best phones around all of a sudden that are unlikely to be eclipsed this holiday season.Amazon’s Black Friday-grade Pixel 10 Pro deal, for instance, is pretty much as attractive and as unusual as the early Pixel 10 and Pixel 10 Pro Fold holiday discounts I literally just told you about, so all that’s…

Over the past decade, the Second City’s tech sector has grown by 18 percent, adding more than 106,000 direct jobs and…
