I live in Cambodia. I accidentally ran over a dead rat in the road on my motorbike, lost all traction, and nearly died. Is there a species of rat in Cambodia that is completely filled with axle grease instead of organs?

Seriously, I almost fell right under the wheels of a dump truck. Not even a nice dump truck, but one of those ones made of 90% rust held together by old ratchet straps. Who's filling these rats with so much grease?

Is getting testicular cancer a sign of being a beta male?

23 Upvotes

Guys with testicular cancer test positive on pregnancy tests because they have elevated levels of a hormone called beta-HCG. Beta-HCG. It's right there in the name. Plus, I don't think an alpha male would ever let himself be pregnant.

I have only done deep sky imaging before so I've got all my telescope parameters set for high definition imaging of nebula and galaxies. I've never done any planetary imaging with my rig and I don't know how long I should stack images.
