    @Doctor-Phibes said in Stop eating plants: The average Daily Mail reader uses the word 'irony' primarily because he or she is unaware of the word 'ferrous'. Damn, now I have to pour another cup of coffee.

    Australian woman breaks archery world record using her feet An Australian contortionist stood on her hands and used her feet to shoot an arrow 59 feet and 11 inches into a target for a Guinness World Record. Shannen Jones said she practiced foot archery for six years before deciding to take on the Guinness World Record for farthest arrow shot using feet. Jones announced in an Instagram post that she received word from Guinness World Records that her attempt was successful. She posted a behind-the-scenes video showing how she shot the arrow from a distance of 59 feet and 11 inches and struck the center of a 4.7-inch diameter target.

    @George-K said in Audio book recommendations?:. All the names of the drugs are familiar to me, and I remember when many of them were "new" when I was an intern in 1976. I started at the National Cancer Institute in 1976, and yes, I knew a lot of the people involved as well as the controversies. Excellent book.

    @Mik I told that joke every time we did one of those cases. After several years, it went from guffaws to laughs to groans to eye-rolls.

    @Mik [image: 1674085512070-screenshot-2023-01-18-at-5.44.37-pm.png] https://nationalinterest.org/blog/reboot/overloaded-how-many-weapons-can-f-15ex-fighter-carry-182663 There is still a mission for what is essentially a fighter designed and built in the pre-stealth era. The Air Force envisions the F-15EX as a sort of weapon truck, able to carry large munitions that the F-35 cannot. The F-35 can carry less than 6,000 pounds of munitions internally, whereas the F-15EX can carry almost 30,000 pounds of munitions on its external pylons. On battlefields with modern air defenses, the F-35 could stealthily collect targeting data and relay it to an F-15EX, which could then utilize advanced low-observable or hypersonic munitions to eliminate enemy targets.
