This is my anti-advertisement. It focuses on the bad things that Chiquita has done. Im really happy with this design and i think that staying off the computer for the majority of this project really helped to make a better final product.

Article: Chiquita admits to paying Colombia terrorists
This is good to know - I eat a hell of a lot of bananas, but my love of bananas isn’t worth supporting numerous massacres over.

NOOOOOOO MY BANANAS. I think this officially means you can’t get bananas in this country without there being a horrible backstory. Looks like I need a new fruit.

I’m just gonna grow my own banana tree. Fuck this.

For fucks sake. IS NOTHING SACRED?!? How am I just hearing of this?

$cosmictoquantum: “Beautiful” New Particle Found at LHC — Xi(b)* a “brick in the wall” for solving how matter’s made, expert says. An atom-smashing experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has detected a new subatomic particle—and it’s a beauty. Known as Xi(b)* (pronounced “csai bee-star”), the new particle is a baryon, a type of matter made up of three even smaller pieces called quarks. Protons and neutrons, which make up the nuclei of atoms, are also baryons. The Xi(b)* particle belongs to the so-called beauty baryons, particles that all contain a bottom quark, also known as a beauty quark. The newfound particle had long been predicted by theory but had never been observed. Although finding Xi(b)* wasn’t exactly a surprise, the discovery should help scientists solve the larger puzzle of how matter is formed. “It’s another brick in the wall,” said James Alexander, a physicist at Cornell University who conducts experiments with the LHC. Sorting Through the Mess Unlike protons and neutrons, beauty baryons are extremely short-lived—Xi(b)* lasted mere fractions of a second before it decayed into 21 other ephemeral particles. The particle also requires extremely high energies to create, so it’s found nowhere on Earth except in the hearts of atom-smashers such as the LHC, operated by the European Center for Nuclear Research (CERN) in Geneva. The new beauty baryon is a higher energy version of one that was detected last summer by scientists using the Tevatron particle accelerator at Fermilab in Illinois. LHC scientists didn’t detect the new particle directly. Instead they saw evidence of its decay in the messy aftermath of a proton-proton collision captured by the facility’s Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) detector. “Finding this particle is really very hard,” CMS physicist Vincenzo Chiochia, a co-discoverer of the new particle, told Symmetry Breaking magazine. “Finding this complicated decay in such a messy event makes us confident in our abilities to find other new particles in the future.” The CMS scientists say the new particle’s existence has been confirmed to a sigma level of five, which means the researchers are 99.99-percent confident that the result isn’t due to chance. Hunt Still on for Higgs The discovery is further confirmation that physicists are essentially correct in their understanding of how quarks are bound together, said Fermilab scientist Patrick Lukens, who was not involved in the study. The particle was predicted by a wildly successful theory in physics known as quantum chromodynamics, which models how quarks combine and are held together to create heavier particles. However, Lukens said, finding Xi(b)* has no bearing on the hunt for the Higgs boson, a particle that would explain why mass exists in the universe and that’s also predicted by quantum chromodynamics.

The particle also requires extremely high energies to create, so it’s found nowhere on Earth except in the hearts of atom-smashers such as the LHC, operated by the European Center for Nuclear Research (CERN) in Geneva.

“[on the future of hand-drawn animation] I’m actually not that worried. I wouldn’t give up on it completely. Once in a while there are strange, rich people who like to invest in odd things. You’re going to have people in the corners of garages making cartoons to please themselves. And I’m more interested in those people than I am in big business.”

Digital Collage: In Regards To NBC Closing Out 'Parks & Rec', 'Community' and '30 Rock' | Good Shows But Time To Let Them Go

danhacker:

‘30 Rock’ is still full of one-liners but that show has run its course. Id rather see those people move onto something entirely new.

The fact that ‘Community’ has made it this far is a Goddamn miracle, stop complaining already and start your internet campaign to get the ‘Community’ movie off the…

“The fact that ‘Community’ has made it this far is a Goddamn miracle, stop complaining already and start your internet campaign to get the ‘Community’”.

You do realize the irony of complaining on the internet about people complaining on the internet, yes?
