I cancelled my amazon prime membership when I realized that almost everything I bought I returned because the quality had gone downhill, it wasn’t as advertised, or it was an impulse purchase that I regretted as soon as I had it in my hands.

The implants were both custom-made to fit into holes drilled into Oscar’s ankle bones. They are known as intraosseous transcutaneous amputation prosthetics (ITAPs)…

I wish they linked the “singing”. It sounds so eerie… I would be scared to hear the humming noise while out walking in the desert.

Brings a whole new meaning to “keeping the lights on” 😬

Proper unsolved mystery

It will be the first crewed mission beyond low Earth orbit since the Apollo 17 lunar landing in 1972.

TIL. Neat!

That was an interesting rabbit hole. Thanks for sharing

Neat. I hadn’t considered how zero gravity would affect how a plant grows
