Responding to the situation, a Walgreens spokesperson acknowledged the pressures faced by retail pharmacies. The company emphasizes its commitment to its workforce, underlining initiatives to boost pharmacist wages and offer hiring bonuses, especially in challenging staffing areas. 🚷💬

🛰️ Third ISS Leak Spotted

The Russian section of the International Space Station (ISS) is playing hide-and-seek with leaks again, marking the third coolant leak in just a year. 🚀 During a NASA live feed, eagle-eyed viewers could spot flakes of frozen coolant drifting in the space void. And the culprit? The Nauka module. But fear not; Roscosmos (Russia’s space agency) assures everyone that despite the frosty show, temperatures inside remain steady. On the bright side, it's given astronauts a chance to play space detectives, with US mission control asking their crew to keep an eye out for those sneaky flakes. 🧐🌌

TL;DR ⏳: The Russian ISS segment has sprung its third leak in a year, pointing to some chilly troubles. 🕵️‍♂️
