I sometimes think retailers don’t get it. I am purchasing a $5 part. I go to place my order and get notification that I can save 10% if I only purchase $295 more in product.

No…not Chuck Norris. He seemed like he could’ve lived to 200. RIP.

A few thoughts after reading the replies to this post: We can't compromise safety just because we like stars... and I'm never a fan of infringing on personal freedoms (like having lights in your backyard for entertaining, porch lights for security, etc). However it raises a good question: at what point does the health impacts of having constant artificial light around become worse than the safety benefits of having them? By making EVERYONE think about this, the problem gets better organically without new laws or money spent. Just from seeing this post, how many of you decided to maybe turn your porch light off? Small decisions like that can help! A lot of people are suggesting a holiday where we turn off all lights. I'm 100% on board with that if it is voluntary and we don't impact businesses in a bad way. Airports need lights to function safely at night. Dense cities need streetlights for safety. I'm sure highways see more accidents when there are no overhead lights. What if one night during new moon in summer we spread "Milky Way night" where we turn off all lights for like 2 hours after astronomical dusk... entirely voluntary. If the idea went viral we might actually make an impact. We might even get local governments to cooperate and get them to dim city lights. With the right preparation, I'm sure it could be done for basically free with minimal or no adverse consequences. I know nothing about the feasibility of this, just know that the number of people that tell me they've *never* seen the milky way is depressing. Most people born today never will, unless we change something major. For me, seeing the stars changed the trajectory in my life in a positive way. I want others to experience the benefit our universe offers us. My mission has always been to improve the world by getting more people to look up.

I know @doge probably has bigger fish to fry, but every photon of artificial light polluting our sky is technically energy wasted. What if we could more efficiently redirect lighting only where it was needed, while also giving people back the stars?

I made a dozen deviled eggs - so 24 halves. Had one egg that leaked a bit during boiling so was misshapen. Ate those two. And didn't eat any more. Please applaud.

@RealLisaC Not sure on authority, but NAFTA was replaced in 2020 by USMCA.

@ucs_dave I prefer the white Tortex overall. But i found that each guitar/string brand/size has a “best” pick. Thankfully picks are cheap.

What is the best guitar pick and why is it the yellow Dunlop?

I'm going to master this barre F chord if it kills me or gives me carpal tunnel syndrome.

@ucs_dave Just remember that it’s now a shopstool and not a reclining office chair.

@ucs_dave I had that album. They did a reissue back in 1999, or thereabouts. Did better the second time around.

Any time I see a password reset dialog that says "Send me an email" I sing it to the tune of Real Life's 1983 single "Send Me An Angel". Hopefully now you will too.

@not_1257 Don't forget to factor in the HOA fees and taxes - you can't go on previous year's rates because I'm assuming it'll get reassessed at transfer and probably be close to 3x what's estimated.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but it's perfectly acceptable to eat ramen for breakfast. (Ok, it was me. I'm the one that needed to hear it.)

@jdooley_clt How about mis-measuring and marking and then doing the cutting.
