It’s no ROG Ally X, but Asus’ last-gen handheld is still a powerful gaming machine. | Photo by Vjeran Pavic / The Verge Now that the new and improved Asus ROG Ally X has arrived, we’re starting to see some solid deals on its predecessor, the Asus ROG Ally. Now until August 19th, for instance, the Windows-based gaming handheld is available at Best Buy with a Z1 Extreme chip for an all-time low of $499.99 ($150 off). That’s almost half the price of its successor, which costs $799.99, rendering it a good alternative if you’re on a tighter budget. The lower-end model with the Z1 chip is also on sale for $379.99 ($120), though, given the performance downgrades, we’d recommend sticking with the Extreme configuration. At this price, the standard Asus ROG Ally offers good value, even if it didn’t impress us as much as ROG Ally X when it comes to comfort,... Continue reading…

An international team of scientists has completed a new analysis of the anatomy of a worm larva fossil that lived 520 million years ago, during the incredibly remote Cambrian Period (540 to 485 million years ago). This exceptionally rare specimen comes from a long-extinct species of eurarthropod (primitive arthropod) known as Youti yuanshi, and it is one of the earliest ancestors of modern arthropods (insects, spiders, centipedes, and crabs) ever discovered. The larva’s unique anatomical features, which have been miraculously preserved despite the immense passage of time, offer scientists an unprecedented glimpse into the remote evolutionary history of the Earth’s most common category of animal life. Tiny Specimen Packed With Data This minute specimen is no bigger than a flower seed. Yet the Y. yuanshi fossil was successfully recovered from inside a rock formation in a virtually intact state. The latest analysis has revealed the intimate details of its interior and exterior structures, which has allowed scientists to identify it as a clear forerunner of the modern arthropod family.

I’ve been using my crock pot just about every day lately. I’m completely in love with it. In the last few months, I’ve made several things with apples in my crock pot including Slow Cooker Apple Pie Oatmeal and Slow Cooker Apple Cobbler. I’m pretty much convinced you can cook just about anything in a crock pot. I especially like making desserts like this Crock Pot Butterscotch Apple Crisp in the crock pot. So easy and so little clean up! The apples cook low and slow and get wonderfully soft and juicy. As the liquid is released from the apples, it mixes with the flour, brown sugar, oats, spices, and butterscotch pudding mix to make the most delicious apple crisp. It may become your favorite apple dessert! If you’re looking for another crock pot apple recipe, try this delcious apple butter. Pin this now to find it laterPin It Recipe Tip If you want to add a little crunch, you can add half a cup of pecans or walnuts to the topping. Type Of Apples To Use For an apple crisp, I like the tart flavor of Granny Smith apples. Gala are another good apple to use and they have a sweeter flavor. You could use a combination of the two for the best of both worlds. Storage Leftovers will keep for 4 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator. You can rewarm it in a microwave or oven.
