No, we won’t have a Blade Runner future: The robots of tomorrow won’t look like humans — we’re too inefficient

In the 1980s science fiction classic Blade Runner, there exist human-looking robots known as replicants. These fictional biorobotic androids seem human on the surface yet possess strength, agility, speed, and resilience superior to ours.

PB&J Smoothie

Instead of sandwiches, try cool, creamy peanut butter–and-jelly-inspired smoothies for a kid-friendly snack.

Acorn Squash with Sage-Cranberry Rice Stuffing

The challenge: Slow cooker recipes usually make a gallon of food. I’m only cooking for two, and I don’t want all those leftovers. Our solution: Hack the cooker so that you can make smaller amounts with great results. For a stew or braise, use smaller amounts, place into 8- or 10-ounce ramekins, and set those […]
