Could not agree more, Mike!

Not a big fan of this guy, but pretty much agrees with our thoughts.

If it's not published in "The Sun" then it isn't true, right? Same can be said for the internet too I suppose. When will all of the insanity end?

Honestly - I try to avoid as much exposure to social media and news as much as possible. Pretty much relegated to weather. Even sports has become too politized for me! (Of course it also doesn't help that my teams suck!) LOL

I get extreme baseball withdrawal lol.

"Plastic surgeon" pretender

[Bgoney]

March 15 (UPI) -- A pallet of batteries was released from the International Space Station, becoming the heaviest single piece of junk ever jettisoned from the station.

Mission controllers in Houston commanded the Canadarm2 robotic arm to release an external pallet loaded with the 2.9 tons of nickel-hydrogen batteries into Earth's orbit Thursday morning.

"It is safely moving away from the station and will orbit Earth between two to four years before burning up harmlessly in the atmosphere," NASA said in a statement.

NASA representative Leah Cheshier confirmed to Gizmodo that the pallet is the largest object "mass wise" ever to be dispelled from the ISS.

"More than twice the mass of the Early Ammonia Servicing System tank jettisoned by spacewalker Clay Anderson during the STS-118 mission in 2007," Cheshier said.

Quite amusing!

Would be funny too if those patients mention to their doctors about that OR 'game' show because its been known sometimes that someone under anesthesia, their possible subconscious mind state could still overhear surgical team comments.

JC, you can't have any fun anymore .

[MVWxObserver]

I can see it as both some levity for docs but also the ethics side of it too. I have a life long friend who is a retired general surgeon and who lives in CA, used to live in Cincy and also Anderson, IN. He has a humorous side, too, but doubtful he would go a 'game show' route when having performed procedures.

In December a 180-day deadline was announced for a report into UFO sightings
The Pentagon and intelligence agencies must release their report by June 1
John Ratcliffe, former DNI, said there were more sightings than publicly known
Ratcliffe said the observations were made by Navy and Air Force pilots
They were recorded by 'multiple sensors' and had no obvious explanation
The incidents included supersonic travel without a sonic boom
Ratcliffe said it was in the public interest that the information be released.

John Ratcliffe, who served as Donald Trump's Director of National Intelligence, said that many of the incidents still have no easy explanation.

'There are a lot more sightings than have been made public,' Ratcliffe told Fox News.

'Some of those have been declassified.

'And when we talk about sightings, we are talking about objects that have seen by Navy or Air Force pilots, or have been picked up by satellite imagery that frankly engage in actions that are difficult to explain.

'Movements that are hard to replicate that we don't have the technology for. Or traveling at speeds that exceed the sound barrier without a sonic boom.'

I'm not a big believer in aliens, but at the same time... if there is such a thing, the Govt covering it up doesn't surprise me either LOL

Yea , same here , but , I'm open to it. If our guys in the air force are seeing things that we don't have, Id rather it be Aliens than Russia or China.

An idiot disposes of shark remains along the Great Miami River. Shows sheer laziness when someone doesn't find a proper way of disposal of an animal carcass.

Glad the woman who saw the remains took action in whatever way since such a situation could have become an environmental hazard.

For sure! From his old Spaghetti Westerns, to Dirty Harry, to his own directing in his later years... etc. The guy just doesn't make or act in bad movies.

This should be the biggest news in the world atm. Impacts are far reaching , and have a possibility of reaching critical stages with economies and product shortages
