00:09Well, many of us will be eating Thanksgiving dinner here,
00:11what, within, I don't know, 24, more like 36, 48 hours?
00:15I don't know.
00:15I can't really do the math.
00:1724, add the three.
00:17If you're eating about four.
00:19We're eating around noon.
00:20Noon, ooh, wow.
00:21We eat early.
00:22Nice, love that.
00:22Yeah, we eat early, yeah.
00:24Well, there's going to be crews in space doing the same thing,
00:26too.
00:26A crew of astronauts are having a feast in space.
00:29Take a listen.
00:30Let me see.
00:31We've got Brussels sprouts, butternut squash, apples
00:38and spice, and smoked turkey.
00:42It's going to be delicious.
00:45All right, the crew includes NASA astronauts,
00:47including Butch Wilmore, Suni Williams, Don Pettit,
00:50and Nick Haig.
00:51They're in the middle of a long-term research mission.
00:54They are, to advance technologies
00:56for the future human and robotic exploration
01:00missions for NASA.
01:01All right, Extreme Weather has made
01:03the short list for Dictionary.com's Word
01:06of the Year nominees.
01:08They say Extreme Weather had an uptick
01:10in usage in casual conversation, as well as web searches
01:14this year.
01:15And they say the discussions focused on major weather
01:17events, such as Hurricane Helene and widespread flooding
01:19seen around the world.
01:21The rankings are based on what the website calls
01:23words that capture pivotal moments in language and culture
01:27during a year.
01:28Here are a few other words that made the list.
