    Billionaire clown heads for Space Station He paid $35 million for the trip. Sideshow Bob was not invited along, it seems. Homer has already been, of course - IIRC he wrecked his mission with a bag of potato chips.

    Bugs in my shower

    How come bugs don’t get knocked down by raindrops or showers? I turned on the light in my power-shower this morning, and for some reason (humidity or whatever) there were a lot of small bugs flying around in there. They weren’t tough or fast-dodging flyers, just weedy, aimless-looking things...

    best rechargeable option Fenix TK-10

    Welcome to CPF, mirror. Being a far-sighted moderator who attempts to anticipate other members' actions, I foresee that you will soon be making a post with a question about rechargeable batteries: However I'm pretty sure you will ask this question in the LED section, so I'm going to move...

    MaxaBeam vs. the Moon I took some beamshots last week with the MaxaBeam, but all except one were blurred as there was a fairly strong wind and I have a POC flimsy tripod. I went out again last night. There was no wind, but conditions were no longer ideal because of the Moon – it wasn’t as...
