How much would you spend on a chicken sandwich? $5? $10? What about $1‚500? Sounds like a lot for a sandwich‚ and the deal gets even less sweet when you find out it takes six months to make it from scratch.The sandwich was the passion project of Andy George‚ host of How To Make Everything‚ a YouTube channel that’s amassed 1.74 million subscribers. In an episode that went live in 2015‚ he learned the hard way how much effort can go into making a bang-average sandwich.“I spent 6 months and $1500 to make a sandwich completely from scratch‚ including growing my own vegetables‚ making my own salt from ocean water‚ milking a cow to make cheese‚ grinding my own flour from wheat‚ collecting my own honey‚ and killing a chicken myself‚” wrote George on YouTube.It begins with growing a garden – after all‚ you need a place to grow those veggies. Next‚ George tackles the salt with a trip to the ocean. The seawater is boiled down and the suspicious white powder popped into a Ziploc – the same container that carried off a tomato for an eight-month joy ride in space – that made getting through airport security a little more eventful.  It's important to note that while ocean salt is perfectly suitable for seasoning your food‚ making salt from heavily polluted seawater can be problematic. Heavy metals‚ chemicals‚ and bacteria can be present and may linger if the salt isn’t prepared properly.We later see George mechanically agitating some freshly squeezed cow’s milk‚ churning the fatty “cream” layer of the milk‚ which causes butterfat globules to stick together. Eventually‚ the fats are combined into a lump we know as butter‚ and the remaining liquid is what we call buttermilk. Six months and a lot of money later‚ George finally has his from-scratch sandwich. So‚ how did it taste? According to his friends and family‚ not good. “It tastes like a corkboard dipped in lemon juice‚” one person can be heard saying in the video. Damn.As DIY projects go‚ it’s not even the weirdest we’ve seen this week. We beg you‚ behold the wonder that is a homemade toaster.[H/T: The Verge]

Africa is slowly but surely splitting in two. Like anything in geology‚ it’s an extremely long process that will take millions upon millions of years‚ but it will eventually see part of East Africa chip off from the rest of the continent‚ likely resulting in a new ocean arising between the two land masses.The colossal breakup is associated with the East African Rift System (EARS)‚ one of the largest rifts in the world that stretches downward for thousands of kilometers through several countries in Africa‚ including Ethiopia‚ Kenya‚ the Democratic Republic of the Congo‚ Uganda‚ Rwanda‚ Burundi‚ Zambia‚ Tanzania‚ Malawi‚ and Mozambique.This rift system means that the African plate is splitting into two – the smaller Somalian plate and the larger Nubian plate – that are pulling away from each other at a super-sluggish snail’s pace of millimeters per year‚ according to a 2004 study.Back in 2018‚ news of a crack emerging in Kenya went viral‚ with many claiming that this was evidence of Africa snapping in two before our eyes. While this startling scene was related to the EARS‚ it’s a bit misleading to present it as live evidence of Africa’s great split-up. A map of East Africa showing some of the historically active volcanoes (red triangles)‚ as well the two parts of the African Plate (the Nubian and the Somalian) splitting along the East African Rift Zone.Image credit: USGSAs IFLScience previously pointed out‚ this was likely just a highly localized expression of the valley's regular rifting activity. The EARS has been in this current process for around 25 million years and the crack in Kenya was an indirect whisper of what’s occurring on the continent.However‚ in another 5 million to 10 million years‚ changes in the EARS could result in a drastically different-looking world. Around this timeframe‚ we are likely to see a new ocean form between the Somalian plate and the Nubian plate. The great continent of Africa will lose its eastern shoulder and a vast sea will cut off East Africa. As strange as this may seem‚ it’s worth remembering that Earth’s surface is in a constant state of flux; it’s just so slow that human experience can’t account for it.     The appearance of the world as we know it is relatively new. The land and sea we see today – of Eurasia‚ the Americas‚ Africa‚ Antarctica‚ and Oceania – are the product of vast tectonic plates that slot together like a jigsaw puzzle. Very slowly‚ however‚ these jigsaw pieces move around on a timescale of millions of years.Just think of the split-up that the Earth saw around 138 million years ago when South America and Africa divided. If you look at the west coast of Africa and the east coast of South America‚ you'll notice they fit together like two jigsaw pieces‚ beautifully highlighting how these continents were once joined as one.The departure of East Africa will just be another page in this giant geological storybook. Who knows whether humanity will be around to see any of these changes‚ but it doesn't look too hopeful.A previous version of this article was published in March 2023.

'Your prayers once again caused the earthquake that opened the prison doors for me.' Infowars War Room host and political prisoner Owen Shroyer was released from prison early Friday after serving 47 days for speaking truth to power. #OwenShroyer has been released from the Bureau of Prisons!— norm_pattis (@PattisNorm) December 8‚ 2023 In a statement upon his release‚ Owen said he has a new outlook on life and what freedom means after his unjust incarceration‚ and described how the bible story of Paul and Silas helped him know the power of Christ and prayer. TUNE IN — Owen joins the Alex Jones Show LIVE: “I just want to take this time to thank everybody for your prayers‚ thank everybody for all the mail and the books that you sent me‚” Shroyer stated.URGENT!

And I believe that happened to me not only once but twice. Your prayers shook the prison doors open so that I got out of the special housing unit known as the SHU on the inside‚ or confinement‚ is the prison inside the prison. And then your prayers once again caused the earthquake that opened the prison doors for me released today after serving 47 days of my 60 days.” “I will tell you‚ freedom is great. The one thing I learned immediately‚ never take anything in your life for granted because you never know when it can all be ripped away from you. But the fresh air‚ the open world‚ I’m back and I’m ready to go‚” he added. Following Shroyer’s release‚ GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy noted all J6 prisoners deserve a full pardon‚ stating‚ “This is a travesty of justice &; Owen’s case is just one of many. I’ve said it before‚ I’ll say it again: all peaceful J6 protesters receive a full pardon on Day 1 when I take office.” This is a travesty of justice &; Owen’s case is just one of many.
