B[5 can I see you ?
Interesting that you should ask?
I don’t have Specific question I want to ask but I would like to see how do you guys look since I have never seen an alien before.
You have many times, you just didn’t know it was one of us.
Just out of curiosity do you mean you were in human body or a human suit? If yes can I see you in human body then after that can I see you transfer to how do you look? So I don’t get scare 😬
Nader, when you get to see us in our natural form, you are either being prepared for the table of some alien that has you on the menu, or for aliens like me who have brought you up to be examined for one of our particular services. Take your pick.
In either case, it would have been the last time you will walk on your planet earth.
This is not accurate. We often bring up humans, and we return them to the spot we picked them up at. Sometimes we allow them to maintain their memory of the event, others we don’t.
Clearly you guys have no respect for humans.
On Thursday, the Nasdaq composite rose 7.4%, its biggest increase since March 24, 2020, just after the markets bottomed during the pandemic panic. It rose almost another 2% on Friday.
The S&P rose 5.5% Thursday, its most since April 2020, and tacked on a 0.9% gain Friday.
Details: The rally commenced with the release of the latest Consumer Price Index report on Thursday at 8:30am, which showed year-over-year inflation cooled more than analysts and economists had expected.
What we’re expecting: A flurry of wet-blanket statements to be forthcoming from the Fed, to calm the animal spirits.
The bottom line: This could be simply another bear market rally. But a big one.

7 Penny Stocks Smart Investors Shouldn’t Touch With a 10-Foot Pole
These seven penny stocks to avoid are worthwhile moonshots. It’s not the time to get greedy betting on these long-shot penny stocks right now.
1. Bed Bath & Beyond (BBBY): Even if the retailer avoids bankruptcy, shareholder dilution could sink BBBY stock.
2. Bakkt Holdings (BKKT): While already in the market graveyard, this crypto-focused fintech has limited recovery potential.
3. Clover Health (CLOV): Issues with reaching profitability should keep this company’s shares at depressed prices.
4. FuboTV (FUBO): Throwing in the towel on its sports betting sideline business, there’s little to differentiate this stock from the competition.
5. Microvision (MVIS): Failing to make much headway in the lidar space, Microvision’s valuation is not sustainable.
6. Nikola (NKLA): Between recent downbeat guidance and questionable long-term prospects, it’s best to avoid this EV stock.
7. Skillz (SKLZ): A lack of “skill” in reaching profitability is what makes this mobile gaming play a penny stock to avoid.
3 Great Growth Stocks You Should Buy Now
1. Palo Alto Networks is the leader in cybersecurity, and it plans on keeping it that way.
2. RingCentral is a long-time player in cloud-based communications and is still growing at respectable rates.
3. Marqeta became a hated stock in the hated fintech space, but investors are missing impressive expansion and a hoard of cash.
JOKE;
One day Little Johnny (who was only 4 years old at the time) was taking a shower with his mother when all of a sudden he noticed the space between his mother’s legs.
“Mum what’s that black spot between your legs?” he asked her, to which she replied “Oh Johnny that’s just my little black sponge. “
“Cool. “ he thought to himself, and that day at Kindergarten he told all of his friends about it. Of course, they didn’t believe him, so he told them to jump on their bikes after school and go to his place and take a look themselves.
Well they all jump on their bikes and eventually arrive at Johnny’s place. Little Johnny comes bursting through the front door of his house (with all of his friends following him) yelling out “mum, mum, come here!”
She comes out of the kitchen and says to Johnny “what is it Johnny? What do you want?” to which he says “my friends are here to see your little black sponge mum c’mon show it to them.” Well she had to think quick to avoid an embarrassing situation, so she says to Johnny “I can’t show them my little black sponge because I lost it!”
Well all of little Johnny’s friends are immensely disappointed with him and all call him a liar as they jump back onto their bikes and ride home. Poor little Johnny is so upset that he runs upstairs to his room crying his eyes out.
Anyway, a couple of minutes later he comes running back down the stairs yelling out “mum, mum, I found your little black sponge.” His mum comes out of the kitchen and says “what are you talking about Johnny? What did you find?” To which Little Johnny replied “I found your little black sponge mum – it’s upstairs! The maid is washing daddy’s face with it.”
Good one.
JOKE:
Howard Carter and his trainee went into King Tut’s tomb. Suddenly, the mummy came to life, grabbed a dagger, and came towards them!
The trainee grabbed his pistol and fired shots at the mummy, but they had no effect. Then Howard Carter grabbed a vial and dumped the contents onto the mummy. It fell lifeless onto the ground.
“Only holy water can stop an unholy demon,” he told his trainee.
Then the empty coffin came to life and came toward them. The trainee dumped holy water onto it, but it had no effect. Then Howard Carter grabbed a bottle from his pocket and dumped the contents onto the coffin. It fell lifeless onto the ground.
“Only holy water can stop an unholy demon,” said Carter, “but only cough syrup can stop the coffin!”
Any little ones yet?
Mrs. O’Donovan was walking down O’Connell Street in Dublin, and coming in the opposite direction was Father O’Rafferty.
“Hello,” said the Father, “And how is Mrs. O’Donovan, didn’t I marry you two years ago?”
“You did that, Father.”
“And are there any little ones yet?”
“No, not yet, Father.” Said she.
“Well now, I’m going to Rome next week, and I’ll light a candle for you.”
“Thank-you, Father.” And away she went.
A few years later they met again.
“Well now, Mrs. O’Donovan,” said the Father, “how are you?”
“Oh, very well,” said she.
“And tell me,” he said, “have you any little ones yet?”
“Oh yes, Father. I’ve had three sets of twins, and four singles – ten in all.”
“Now isn’t that wonderful,” he said “And how is your lovely husband?”
“Oh,” she said, “he’s over in Rome to blow that bloody \\candle out!”
I met a girl I had known for years who had recently got married and asked her ‘So…how’s married life treating you’? ‘It’s a pain in the arse’! she replied. I grinned and said ‘Tell him he’s in the wrong hole.
Did You Know?
The African language Igbo, spoken by a small ethnic group in southeastern Nigeria, has only eight adjectives (in a closed class): big, small, dark, light, new, old, good, and bad.
The reason you are complaining about the turn around time is that you are preparing your humans all wrong. When we take one to the slaughterhouse it is killed, skinned, and gutted that day. The parts that are left are shipped within the hour.
It then hangs in the cooler at 34 degrees for at least a week. This allows rigor to dissipate and enzymes to begin to soften the meat. It also mellows the flavor.
After a week it is cut and wrapped and marked with the names of the recipients and then cut in the package; put into boxes, and put in the freezer for one to three days. Then the recipients are called to come pick it up. By that time it has been thoroughly frozen and will easily survive a longish ride to their planets.
I trust you mean motherships not “planets.”
Discussion of the preparation of the inhabitants of the planet we are occupying is forbidden on the Avenue. Cease immediately.

Just so you know Google’s location tracking is recording your movements even when you have certain settings turned off. Some states have caught them doing it, sued and not Google is settling. But you just continue to get ripped off.
Google will pay $392 million to 40 states to settle an investigation by 40 state attorneys general into whether the company misled users about location tracking, the state attorneys general announced Monday.
In the early years of the 20th Century, Dr. Schmidt was the top herpetologist – reptile scientist – in all the world. From 1941 to 1955, he ran the zoology section at Field Museum. He was still employed by the museum when this incident took place.
On September 25, 1957, Marlin Perkins, the director of Chicago’s Lincoln Park Zoo, called Dr. Schmidt with a rather usual-for-Dr. Schmidt request: “We have a new snake here and we don’t know what it is. Could you identify it for us?” Of course he could, so the zoo sent it over. Marlin Perkins was a very good snake man himself, so this snake must have been really exotic. (Yes, this is the same Marlin Perkins who created the famous nature television show “Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom.”)
It was a young boomslang snake. Native to Africa, the boomslang is a very pretty green-and-black beast – EXTREMELY green. They knew it was venomous, but at the time they believed snakes with the fangs in the backs of their mouths like this one has aren’t harmful to humans. While handling the snake, it bit him on one of his thumbs.
So…what does this crazy bastard do? Instead of going to the doctor like a normal person would do, he got a notebook and started documenting how he was feeling. One of his notes read as follows:
9:00 PM-12:20 AM Slept well. No blood in urine before going to sleep, but very small amount of urine. Urination at 12:20 AM mostly blood, but small in amount. Mouth had bled steadily as shown by dried blood at both angles of mouth.
He died before 3 pm the next day. At his autopsy they discovered he was bleeding from everywhere – lungs, out his eyes, kidneys, intestines and so on.
Today we know the boomslang to be one of the most lethal snakes in the world. Its venom is stronger than the venom of a king cobra.
From your Scientific point of view how does the human body function?
Humans are the most terrifying predators on earth. There’s a reason you killed your way to the top of the food chain on all 7 continents. Here are your evolved characteristics that make you so terrifying.
Speed:
Humans aren’t great in a sprint, but you can run forever. You have shed most your hair for better heat management. You evolved sweat glands for same reason. Your hips are optimized for energy efficient movement and you hunt in packs. If you start pursuing something, you will never stop.
Vision:
Human eyes are incredible. While you don’t have the range of an eagle, or the night vision of a cat you still have some of the finest eyes in the animal kingdom. You can see over 8 million shades of color, fine detail up close and motion or light dozens of miles away.
Communication:
Humans are capable of a wide range of sounds and volumes. You’ve developed languages to convey complex details of plans and the positions of targets and you can shout them across a distance or whisper them as you stalk. You also can build tools to extend your communication range much farther than your bodies can on their own.
Intelligence:
Speaking of your penchant for tools. Human brains grant you all kinds of advantages. You can develop complex hunting plans. Observe your prey and learn their weaknesses or the times and places where they’re vulnerable. You can build traps and weapons, not just to increase your capabilities, but to target specific weaknesses of your prey. You can write down what you learn. This lets you pass hard earned knowledge about the weaknesses of other animals, or the ways to build weapons and traps from generation to generation. Writing is one of the main reasons you went from being earth tethered to venturing into space.
If we took all your tools away, burned your libraries and made you start from scratch, most of you would die in the food shortage that followed, but the survivors would rebuild it all over in the next few thousand years. And you’d still be the most terrifying predators on earth. Unless we filled the gap.
Nader:”clearly you guys have no respect for humans “
Not unless they are pets.
Humans don’t make good pets because you hold grudges and are very vindictive.
At 92! Party it up. I’m at the bar. If I go up I’m going lit! Because shit is about to get real and I’ll have to step into real life. Earth has been fun. I’m squeezing ever moment!!!
According to Consumer Reports, the bigger issue isn’t leaving a vehicle parked but battery cells losing power over their lifetime. The site says electric car owners can expect to lose a little over 2 percent of their driving range annually. For example, a Nissan Leaf that gets 149 miles of range will only get around 132 miles after five years of use, recharges, or even while sitting.
If you own a Tesla Model 3, after five years, its 250 miles of driving range could drop to around 221 miles, which is 88% capacity. Thankfully, experts suggest that EV batteries typically last anywhere from 10-20 years. Tesla even promises that after eight years or 150,000 miles, its batteries are still good for at least 70% capacity.
So, just like a gasoline vehicle, electric cars will slowly get less range over time due to wear and tear. As for the original question, your EV will lose a little battery while parked and not in use for long periods, but it’s not enough to be of any concern.
