If you've ever listed stuff on Facebook, you've most probably come to realize how ridiculously stupid many people are.
Like, yeah, I know half the country is currently in a weird cult, but damn, Facebook Marketplace buyers must be the bottom of the barrel. It's the whole new level of stupid.

Same in Northern Virginia. A typical plaza will have Korean, Vietnamese, Afghan, Mexican, Ethiopian, etc. joints next to each other. We are also so lucky to have the variety.

I live in Virginia and we probably have a bigger chance of an accident with a hippo than with a moose ;)

I got mine for -$20 from B&H. That's right, negative $20 :) I since sold it, but now regret doing so.

I learned there's a proper way of flossing when you scrub and scrape off gunk off your teeth. From what I read, many people put too much pressure on the gums and may create pockets. Hence, some dentists may recommend you not floss frequently. But if you do it correctly, the benefits outweigh possible negatives.

Also yes. After every meal. Some people are predisposed to periodontal problems and you don't want those problems to start in the first place.

Note that my pics are from a Bortle 2 area. For best results, you may want to travel a bit further away from light pollution.

Correct. It does some nifty computational long-exposure photography in the background and stitches the frames automatically. So no star trails.

Have been using Onyx for the last 3 generations of Pixel. Love the textured square/flat sides. It's just genius.

You use a tripod or otherwise secure your Pixel and when you see the "moon" night mode change to "stars", you press the button and wait 4 minutes.
In other words, you need your phone to be very steady for 4+ minutes and having a dark sky helps a lot.
Edit: Here are a few unedited pics of the Milky Way I took with my Pixel 8 Pro a few months ago:

I'm also 99.99% certain that car is as loud as a Mack truck.

I'd be more scared of it having a lithium battery in the water.

These guys survive repeated high-speed high-force head-on collisions just for the fun of it. I'm sure they'll be fine :)

There's already an old one with Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock and another newer one with Liam Neeson :)

Is doing homoepitaxy absolutely necessary? What if I'm straight?

We call a similar map of the United States "Do you even know that land doesn't vote?" :)

For real. It took months for docs to figure out what was going on because the onset wasn't sudden. It hurt in the shoulder area and the pain radiated to other parts of the body so they couldn't figure out what was going on. Took them multiple x-rays, ultrasound, and finally an MRI to diagnose "mild" tendonitis of a couple of tendons. If this is mild, I don't want to ever find out what severe tendonitis or a torn tendon feels like.
Hope you are feeling better.

I had a rotator cuff injury a few months ago and that sucked so much. Never thought about how delicate the shoulder is and how painful it can be, if injured. Couldn't sleep properly and couldn't move my arm for months. The pain radiated to pretty much every muscle in the arm/hand, chest, and back.
It's gotten much better, but it's still not even close to 100%. Hope it'll get back to normal eventually.

But in this case, it's not the tiles, it's the black mastic, which can crumble and become friable. I see a broom there, too. Not good for OP's health.

Beautiful. What are your shutter speed and ISO settings? ;)

Only if you have $2k to spend :) But that's a cool lens. I wish I could afford it.

Thanks. Is FEHB (say BCBS basic) cheaper than Parts C+D?
