Hurricanes Lounge XXXII: wait, but why?

[Surrounded By Ahos]

That map also shows North Carolina being an eagle-free zone which is definitely not accurate.

Yeah, but that map is for golden eagles, and the other couple I looked at seemed to back it up. Apparently there may be a few out in the mountains, but there’s not really a shower of Golden eagles in the state.

The Athletic got me again.

They are saying Dundon is the reason we aren’t in the mix for a top team in their 23-24 power rankings. I don’t get it. Is it because he doesn’t run things like everyone else?

Dundon is a little rough when compared to most owners but, he is the reason we have a better present and future. I don’t think we get PNC upgrades, spend to the cap, new practice facility, increased spending on dietary requirements for the players, and/or an outdoor game without TD.

And Toronto first? Come on. Yes they spend anything but their farm isnt great, they are in the same goaltending situation we are in, they have 4 players taking up 41 million of cap for 4 more years and, no defense. 23-24 they are in same position with a chance of losing Matthews because they can’t win.

It's 2020, so why not?

Former Israeli space chief says aliens exist, and Trump knows about it

EDIT: Not meant to be political at all here, just commenting on the guy, who is selling a book published in Nov. making these claims.

Setting up a fantastic season finale going into 2021.

This is the bit where I get a hang-up.

Also this supposed galactic federation ia probably a scheme to sell us the European federation.

 

[Lempo]

I swear the "ia" was a typo. But, the context says I'm not gonna fix it.

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

we had to have a reason to create the space force, now we know.

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

And what happens when we find out that space ISN'T the final frontier?

This seems like a lot of other wild claims we've seen lately... a batty old man at the fringes of the establishment, but with enough of a platform that news agencies pick up on what he says. So when he buys into some crackpot conspiracy theory, the media amplifies it and people freak out.

This is a sample of the story this guy's pushing:

“There’s an agreement between the US government and the aliens. They signed a contract with us to do experiments here. They, too, are researching and trying to understand the whole fabric of the universe, and they want us as helpers. There’s an underground base in the depths of Mars, where their representatives are, and also our American astronauts.

There's a first time for everything.

Well, except for things that there will never be a first time.

You will not be laughing when they start the open assault and their space rays melt everyone's brains except these guys'.

Some of them are bald, and will see that the alien attack gets, well, foiled.

If space rays are being deployed, I hope my brain is the first thing to go. No sense having it survive while the rest of me burns to a crisp. That would be extra torturous.

Well, we've already signed contracts with the aliens, so hopefully those contracts prohibit the use of space rays.

The underground base on Mars intrigues me though. As long as the oxygen holds out.

If they are right, I am okay with being wrong.

Did this happen? From what I've heard, northern lights are a lot harder to spot than the TV images make it appear.

Related: I was outside last night, randomly looked up, and caught the ISS making its way across the night sky. It's kind of surreal to live in an age where you can look up and be like "hey a spaceship".
