Sounds even harsher than Adak, Alaska. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ NASA discovers secret US military base buried 100-foot deep in Greenland ice In a remarkable discovery during an April 2024 flyover of Greenland, NASA scientists uncovered the remnants of a hidden city buried deep beneath the ice. Known as Camp Century, this Cold War-era U.S. military base lies buried under 100 feet of the Greenland Ice Sheet. NASA's Chad Greene, aboard a Gulfstream III aircraft, captured a striking radar image revealing the site. "We were looking for the bed of the ice and out pops Camp Century," said Alex Gardner, a NASA cryospheric scientist. "We didn’t know what it was at first."

This article is fascinating. Who knew? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 9 scientific breakthroughs that resulted from Napoleon's invasion of Egypt [...] When Napoleon invaded Egypt in July 1798, he brought more than just tens of thousands of soldiers. He also recruited more than 150 scientists, known as savants, to accompany him. They arrived "with the aim of both study and exploitation," according to one archaeologist. A little more than a month later, on August 23, 1798, the scientific society called the Institut d'Égypte, which still exists today, held its inaugural meeting in a lavish palace in Cairo and appointed Napoleon as its first vice president. Napoleon wanted to use the country's natural resources, history, and culture for France's benefit. He urged the savants to focus on projects such as improving bread ovens, purifying the Nile's water, and brewing beer without hops. The scientists' tasks were made more difficult because the ship carrying much of their surveying and scientific equipment had sunk. Then, after a series of defeats in Egypt, Napoleon returned to France in 1799 and left many of the scientists stranded. Despite setbacks, the engineers, mathematicians, naturalists, and others spent nearly three years surveying, documenting, and collecting things as varied as antiquities, mummified remains, and animals largely unknown to the West. Their work led to some novel discoveries [...] Continues here: https://www.yahoo.com/news/9-scientific-breakthroughs-resulted-napoleons-213705701.html

Report: Kamala's 2028 Campaign Already $700 Million In Debt [...] Following a lopsided loss to Donald Trump earlier this month, Harris had floated the idea of running again in four years after Trump leaves office but was shocked to find out that simply alluding to the possibility had run up a massive debt for the prospective campaign. "She'll blow past a billion before she even officially announces she's running," one campaign insider said. "As soon as she even considered the idea, we started cutting massive checks. A couple million on updating her wardrobe, a few million in Nacho Cheese Doritos. And we haven't even made a phone call to Oprah yet. That'll be at least another $10 million. She charges by the minute, you know." [...] https://babylonbee.com/news/report-kamalas-2028-campaign-already-700-million-in-debt

While California Governor Gavin Newsom had publicly vowed to resist any attempts by Trump's administration to force policies promoting freedom on residents of the state, he warned that Trump's tariff could cripple California's already debt-ridden economy.
