Not quite as bad as the headline is trying to make it sound:

An enterprising French baker is switching up her bread recipe, or should we say reci-pee, by using wheat fertilized with female urine harvested from public restrooms.

 

“Urine is a great fertilizer,” said engineer and self-proclaimed “ecofeminist” Louise Raguet, who regularly gathers piddle from female urinals in the 14th Arrondissement of Paris, reported RT. She’s the brains behind “Boucle d’Or” — or Goldilocks bread.

 

...

 

“It’s a neglected liquid, usually dismissed as a waste,” said Raguet, adding that urine harbors nitrogen, potassium and many of the other nutrients that plants extract from the soil. As such, it “should be treated like a gold mine,” she said.

A Kansas farm wife called the local phone company to report her telephone failed to ring when her friends called and that on the few occasions,

When it did ring, her dog always moaned right before the phone rang.

The telephone repairman proceeded to the scene, curious to see this psychic dog or senile lady.

He climbed a telephone pole, hooked in his test set, and dialed the subscriber’s house.

The phone didn’t ring right away, but then the dog moaned and the telephone began to ring.

Climbing down from the pole, the telephone repairman found:

1. The dog was tied to the telephone system’s ground wire with a steel chain and collar.

2. The wire connection to the ground rod was loose.

3. The dog was receiving 90 volts of signaling current when the number was called.

4. After a couple of jolts, the dog would start moaning and then urinate.

5. The wet ground would complete the circuit, thus causing the phone to ring.

This demonstrates that some problems CAN be fixed by pissing and moaning.

I just thought you’d like to know.

Sitting at a winery looking out over Lake Erie. Man is it hazy! The wine makes the heat easier to take though. Record run of days over 90 degrees!

There's no vaccine for Skip Bayless.

 

Only social media distancing.

They are so worried about his not wearing a mask, they confront him in a store and talk to him for several minutes.

12 hours later this navy ship is still burning, and beginning to list, in San Diego. It's more than likely going to be a complete loss. Luckily there seems to be only 21 minor injuries.

The US vessel was undergoing routine maintenance when the fire broke out which caused massive explosion.Cause of fire and explosion has yet to be determined.

 

USS Bonhomme Richard (LHD-6) is a Wasp-class amphibious assault ship, and the third ship of the United States Navy to bear the name.The primary mission of Bonhomme Richard is to embark, deploy and land elements of a Marine landing force in amphibious assault operations by helicopter, landing craft and amphibious vehicle, and if needed, to act as a light aircraft carrier.

 

 

 

In better days:

 

So, ~6 US aircraft have crashed recently, now this.

I think that ship can launch amphibious vehicles off the stern.When I lived in the SF area it was docked in Alameda and the let you walk inside.
