A leaked questionnaire shows President Donald Trump's administration has been asking NATO members to demonstrate their loyalty to him before deciding if the U.S. will cut military support for the alliance.Bloomberg News reviewed the document asking whether each country has "been publicly supportive"...

One question directly invokes Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s demand that allies stay “strong, clear, and quiet” in alignment with U.S. interests.

    Fun fact: you need specially designed cremation ovens for, uh, ‘plus sized’ folks. Fat burns pretty hot, so using a regular sized oven is a great way to catch the funeral home on fire.

        Just a bigger cremation oven that can handle the increased heat.

        Bit like that one story a while back of an…extremely large lady who went to a hospital for an X-ray, and they sent her to the local zoo to use the elephant X-ray.

            Eh, the basic science still works. Just need better magnets, and an MRI cavity capable of, ya know, fitting the body itself.

            Which is probably somewhat offensive to larger folks, but like. At a certain point…either it’s custom made, or we use the one designed for elephants. Sorry.

              When you find an MRI machine bif enough dor an elephant feel free to link it to me.

              As far as I’m aware only specifict parts of elephants have been inside an MRI machine, ever.
