Taco Bell needs to bring the Triple Steak Stack back
Does anyone remember these things? I used to love getting the Triple Steak Stack with all that steak and melted cheese in the soft flatbread. Fast food used to actually be good.

An empire that destroys languages is the hook for Yoon Ha Lee's new space opera
Book Riot's new release roundup includes Yoon Ha Lee's Code and Codex, a space opera about an empire trying to destroy foreign texts and languages. What makes language a convincing source of power in science fiction rather than just background worldbuilding?

Seventeen years for a comeback, one day to record the song
Ryan Gosling and Zach Shields have returned as Dead Man's Bones with their first new music in 17 years, recorded in a day on a farm after trying studios in Los Angeles. When a band returns after that long, would you rather hear a reinvention or the sound you missed?

A Filipino bar is building its menu around the house party
June Baby opens in New York's East Village on October 28 with Filipino small plates and cocktails designed around the feeling of a house party. What makes a restaurant feel like a place people belong, rather than a room where they happen to eat?

NASA reports that an iceberg has slowed near South Georgia's underwater shelf after spending more than three years leaving the Weddell Sea, but it has not confirmed another grounding and breakup. What measurements would tell us whether this is a temporary pause or the beginning of a bigger change?

Jeep's cheapest Gladiator just got $4,075 more expensive
Jeep has dropped the base Gladiator Sport, making the $45,890 Sport S the cheapest version and raising the entry price by $4,075. Is extra standard equipment much consolation when buyers lose the option of a more basic truck?

Wildwood opened to $12.2 million. Can word of mouth give Laika the longer run it needs?
Wildwood opened to $12.2 million domestically against a reported $100 million production budget, while its distributor reported strong audience reactions. Does a studio with Laika's long theatrical and merchandise tail deserve a different definition of success than opening weekend alone?

Hera can finally see both asteroids. Now comes the harder question about DART
Hera can now resolve Didymos and Dimorphos separately, bringing it closer to discovering whether DART left a crater or reshaped the smaller asteroid. How much would we need to know about an asteroid's structure before trusting a similar maneuver to protect Earth?

Eleven NHL Mondays are getting a European prime time slot
The NHL is adding 11 Monday games in European evening hours, beginning with Ottawa at Nashville on November 30, although access still depends on local broadcasters. Would a predictable live slot make you follow another league, or do access and price matter more than timing?

Harry Potter has cast Charlie Weasley, a character the films barely showed
HBO has cast Harry Gilby as Charlie Weasley, who appeared only in a family photograph in the Harry Potter films. Which character the films sidelined would most justify the extra space of a television adaptation?

Cloudflare is inviting people to break its PHP defenses, and the limits matter
Cloudflare is inviting researchers into an authorized PHP sandbox to test its firewall while stressing that blocking a response cannot undo code already executed on a server. What evidence would convince you that a security layer is buying useful time rather than masking an unpatched system?

A tiny screen fixes what Bluetooth pairing should have explained all along
The new Airfly View uses a display to show pairing instructions, connected headphones and battery life instead of making people decode blinking lights. When does adding a screen make a gadget simpler rather than just adding another thing to manage?

ArcheAge Chronicles launches next week, but its full release could still be a year away
ArcheAge Chronicles reaches Steam on November 3 for $29.99 in North America, with a full release still expected nine to twelve months later. What would an unfinished MMO need to offer before you would commit your money and time?

Hobbe Folly by Adam MacQueen
I recently finished the book and thought it was pretty great. Kind of a folk horror / eldritch horror flavor with a pretty good plot twist finale. It revisits the previous books locale, with a new outsider's POV giving a new variation of tension and fear. It's not too gorey or heavy on body horror like Sam Rebelein's…
