“I also propose that we put a warning on all horseradish that clearly states that if you ingest an entire bottle, that you will blow out your sphincter. Also, if anyone knows anyone that recently died with an intact size 3 sphincter, please contact me as I am currently very low on the waiting list for a donor.”

Looks great! If you’d like an easy sauce, you could macerate the strawberries. Just sprinkle a little sugar over cut strawberries, cover, and let sit an hour or so until the juices start to draw out.

I’m also recommended salt by my cardiologist and neurologist, primarily to raise my blood volume. Without it my blood pressure may run low and I get less blood to the upper half of my body. I mainly get my salt by adding electrolytes in my water throughout the day since I also need increased water intake. Though, I may sprinkle a little iodized salt on my meals if I feel I need it.

Wondering that too. I love how many people contributed to that article with so little content.

I’m curious what the frequency of these types of balloons are and if it’s increasing or we’re just more focused on them. There were supposedly some tweaks to sensors last year that started to include balloons and other objects that would have been previously filtered out as noise in the data. So, they’re at least probably getting detected more often. If it’s a matter of being more focused on them, then I wonder what risks they’re concerned about.

I’m wondering why this hasn’t been addressed yet. There were posts last night asking about it that have since been removed. There should be some post explaining the incident and what actions are being taken. But, there definitely needs to be additional action taken to prevent this going forward.

If such programs exist, other countries may not want to show their hand if they know they trail behind the US. Sightings themselves could always be concealed due to national security concerns. Then there’s just the possibility of lack of interest or negligence in documenting UAP.

As long as we don’t combine the two topics. I’m not quite ready for alien sex researchers.

He’s still in a potentially relevant role. It seems that he immediately moved on to a role at Oak Ridge National Laboratory as Chief Technology Officer for Defense and Intelligence Programs. They do handle government contract work, so no telling if they have any projects that would benefit from his statements. I’m not one to delve into alleged government UAP programs, though I’ve seen Oak Ridge mentioned a lot. They have a lot of unique programs that are bound to stir curiosity.

I’ve been watching a lot of SG-1 recently and Kinsey always frustrates me, mostly because I could picture him being a real politician.

I came here to link exactly that article. It’s always important to do a little digging and verify claims before latching onto them, but people are embracing Kirkpatrick’s claims without a second thought. It’s easier for people to focus on one claim that supports their preexisting beliefs than to consider they may be wrong.

Whether or not any UAP come from some non-human origin, the government itself (including Kirkpatrick) has admitted there are unknown objects that don’t match any known technology. If they could apply a label of even potentially being a drone, plane, or balloon, they would do so as they have done before. At minimum, it’s a failure on the DOD to monitor our airspace. Just last year, the US engaged with and fired missiles at still publicly unknown objects over our airspace. However, Kirkpatrick is basically dismissing his former role as a waste of resources just because they can identify most (not all) reports.

Great recipe. I’ve used variations of that recipe from Serious Eats a few times and it always comes out amazing.

The music lived up to the band’s name. Their songs are great, but I can feel really tense listening to them. Frankie Teardrop really encapsulates that feeling with the dark tale it tells, the screams, and droning music. Definitely recommend, but I can see it being off-putting to many.
