Sounds like the LIV golf tour is going away. I thought it was a mistake from the inception.

Sounds like the LIV golf tour is going away. I thought it was a mistake from the inception.

The early framework for the then new LIV golf tours, to rival
the PGA Tour, was promoted in 2019 as a league to be known
as the Premier Golf League.     The PGA responded by implying
that golfers who choose to play in the LIV tournaments would
be barred from future PGA Tour events.     Seriously?

But Aussie Greg Norman, professional golf's "chief disruptor"—who
was LIV's head honcho for four years—agreed that "LIV’s long-term
fate is still uncertain".

In Oblivion there's a large world map and smaller dungeon areas that load separately from it. Certain enemies will chase you a very long way and aren't restricted to their load zones. It's possible for an enemy to chase you out of a dungeon, onto the world map and into a different dungeon. This isn't always a bad thing however as you can cheese powerful enemies by luring them onto the world map, getting them stuck on terrain and safely attacking from a distance.

I learned a lot of things today but the standout one is that large masses like the sun form dips in spacetime of gravity that force things like planets into orbit. The reason why these orbiting planets don't keep rolling closer and closer to the sun is there is no friction in space to interfere with their angular momentum.

Under Frito-Lay, toy and trinket prizes were replaced with paper prizes displaying riddles and jokes, then temporary tattoos. In 2013, some prizes became codes for people to play "nostalgic" games on the Cracker Jack app through Google Play for Android-powered devices. The announcement was made in 2016 that these gameplays would replace tangible prizes.

The element was first named “alumium” by British chemist Sir Humphry Davy
in 1807.    He later revised it to “aluminum,” but British scientists thought it
sounded odd.    So they aligned it with other element names like sodium,
calcium, magnesium, and added an -ium ending: hence "aluminium".

(Last year, Australian exports of aluminium to the US were worth US$28.86 billion.)

My right kidney is slightly smaller than my left and barely smaller than the healthy range.

"Heaux" is a stylized, pseudo-French spelling of "hoes" or "whores". It’s frequently reclaimed in modern slang to describe someone who is fiercely unapologetic about their lifestyle, dating, or centering their own pleasure (often referred to as a "heaux phase").

Someone had this on their dating profile.

PleasHER contains 3 powerful pheromones, each with a unique quality to boost a woman’s sex
drive and attraction to whoever is wearing it — even if it’s herself. This formula replicates the
powerful sex pheromones from a man's saliva, sweat glands, and reproductive organs
that stir a woman’s primal desires.

   Ewwwww...

Para-tyramine-O-sulphate (pTOS), initially looked at in gila monsters and snakes, is being studied as the next advancement in weight loss. Apparently it has less side effects and administration issues than GLP-1's.

I heard about that. Apparently they wouldn't even let the plane land in the USA. That's scary stuff. The last thing we need is another pandemic under president rapist and his clown college of "experts".

They're testing a land snail slime isolate for use as a preventative anticoagulant that doesn't increase bleeding time.

Ebola sure not have the potential to become a pandemic. It kills so fast, no time for victims to spread it. Sad but true

There's a species of mushroom used in Asian dishes that causes hallucinations if not cooked completely, Lanmaoa asiatica. The science guys have yet to isolate the specific molecule(s). The interesting part is that it creates the same hallucination across people with different backgrounds. It makes people see 'little people/creatures' and is identified as Lilliputian hallucinations.

One subspecies of Albertan. There doesn't seem to be much momentum for it.

Well there are a few MAGA morons in Alberta but most of the flames for separation are being fanned by non-Canadians outside the country.

Long term cannabis use is associated with weight loss.

So is long term use of Heroin and Meth.
