🌕 The layer nobody talks about in astronaut food planning smell. In microgravity nasal passages swell with fluid pooling in the head, which dulls the sense of smell by roughly 30%. Food tastes noticeably blander. This is why space food is typically formulated with stronger flavors than the equivalent on Earth and why five different hot sauces are making the trip around the Moon. The 58 tortillas are not a craving. Tortillas replaced bread on NASA missions in 1985 specifically because crumbs in zero gravity float into equipment, lungs and eyes. Every food item on this list went through a problem solving process that had nothing to do with taste and everything to do with keeping the crew alive. The brisket is delicious and also an engineering decision. 📌 Source: NASA Food Technology Commercial Space Center; NASA Johnson Space Center Artemis II mission planning

Brisket and cobbler and quiche, oh my! Curious what astronauts eat on a 10-day trip around the Moon? Read about how we design and prepare meal plans for Artemis II: go.nasa.gov/4ceYlSu

Horror in Dubai. Dubai police beat up 15 foreign nationals in jail for taking photos of missiles. Most of them are from England, Australia and Canada. Here is the disturbing reality. Authorities are targeting areas where foreigners live. Officers are going to random homes and demanding their phones. If they find photos of missiles shared with families, they are sent to jail. These foreigners are denied a fair trial. They are not allowed to have lawyers. They are not allowed to contact their embassies. They will be in jail for 2 years minimum. Truth is, these men are being beat up for just taking pictures. Victims say they are being tortured. And yet no help is coming. Source: The Sun, UK.

Nepotism, thy name is Ford. I wonder if she only shows up 51 days of the year too? Entitled family of grifters. I hope they’re the first to go once Carney’s crack down on organized crime and fraud gets underway.

After AG Bonnie Lsysk found owners of the 15 land sites removed from the Greenbelt could see their land values increase from $240M to $8.3B, Minister Flack was asked for an update on an overdue mandatory Greenbelt review, Flack's reply, “No, thanks,” & walked away from reporters.

@allaei The recent U.S. Frontline TV show documented the targeting of Iranian scientists and also the collateral deaths of many innocent civilians.

I knew Dr. Kamal Kharazi from my time in cognitive science. He has a PhD in industrial psychology from the University of Houston, and he used his connections to build something like an NIH for cognitive science in Iran — funding research, founding institutes. Today, his home was bombed. His wife was killed. He is critically injured. Either this was indiscriminate — bombing residential neighborhoods — which is terrifying. Or it was targeted — assassinating an 80-year-old academic-diplomat in his home — which is also terrifying. There is no good version of this story. And now I'm thinking about my other colleagues still in Iran.

"We should all be furious. Transparency is the oxygen of democracy, and Ford is happily stomping on our collective neck." @stcrawford2 @fordnation are determined to deny the most basic democratic rights of Ontarians #corrupt

Maybe instead of sending our soldiers into Iran on a suicide mission, our military should invade the WH and the DOD and arrest all these MF. Put them all on a plane directly to The Hague. Include the highest levels of the FBI and CIA as well. That’s a battle our soldiers can win.

Breaking: Sweden says it will boycott all diplomatic relations with Israel

seeing a lot of "higher gas prices won't affect me because I don't drive very much" and unfortunately it is my sad duty to inform you that your food does not teleport to the grocery store

Maybe it is time to once again remind everybody that running a global reserve currency necessitates that you have a lot of wealthy ALLIES willing to hold your Treasury bonds and your currency. If you piss off your allies they will not in the long run hold on to these assets and you will have to pay a lot more to fund your enormous public debt.

The 2026 Ontario Budget allocates $40.1M for School Resource (Police) Officers. Some schools in Toronto will have to share Vice Principals.

The United Arab Emirates welcomed thousands of U.S. soldiers. Now it is clear why Iran targeted the Arab states.

Ford is closing Northern Ontario ERs by underfunding & understaffing them. He wouldn't do it in his own riding in Toronto or where his cottage is.

Pierre wants to : " Axe The Tracks " " Ruin The Rails " " Slow The Speed " Pierre wants to impede any progress in Canada, he is an all American boy, who roots against our country. Pierre is truly a dick.. Pierre will never be PM, never !

Indeed, wow! 2025: $211,468 2024: $157,884 2023: $132,702 2022: $128,052 Ontario Human Rights Code explicitly permits employers to enact anti-nepotism policy. It appears @RunnymedeHC doesn't have/enforce such a HR policy & prioritizes family connections over skills/experience.

@trafal1357 @MooreintheAM an extra half million dollars in annual taxes were levied as the pickle ball courts were deemed to be "commercial".

@MooreintheAM Why was it closed.

Is there nothing this joy killing city can’t wreck?

@WaveRoyal @MooreintheAM an extra half million dollars in annual taxes were levied as the pickle ball courts were deemed to be "commercial".

@MooreintheAM Why would they close it? It’s so popular!

@cbcwatcher @MooreintheAM No, an extra half million dollars in annual taxes were levied as the pickle ball courts were deemed to be "commercial".

@MooreintheAM Was this a result of the noise of a pickleball going bop-bop-bipity-bop during normal allowable construction noise hours?

@hawkeynut1 @MooreintheAM That decision was reversed

@MooreintheAM Add that to Weston Lions Arena.
