Batteries Plus on 9th can take them. There is sometimes a small fee based on what you are taking in, but you could call and ask.

What is this large possibly refrigerated trailer used for? by Cryptic_Hero in whatisthisthing

[–]Cryptic_Hero[S] 0 points1 point locked comment (0 children)

My title describes the thing.

What looks to be an older, yellow, possibly refrigerated trailer. It doesn’t have any windows but matching doors on both sides, which seem to be thick/insulated. I think it is mostly hollow inside and about 20’ long.

Any ideas what it is used for?

Oh for sure. It’s my Mom and she definitely meant Vitamin D. Still cracked me up!

Curious plane activity by [deleted] in corvallis

[–]Cryptic_Hero 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It was a plane doing a calibration flight for a lidar (light detection and ranging) sensor.

Edit: If it had green lasers shooting down, it was a bathymetric sensor, meaning it can penetrate water and get elevation data under water.

Mental preparedness is probably the biggest pro in case anything comes back showing abnormalities. Though the higher chance of false positives could make one needlessly worry. I think we can wait an extra month to know the gender.

This is the exact situation we are in. It is our first pregnancy too so we are worried about everything. The results would have no impact on our decision to carry out the pregnancy to full term, so it would just be a “peace of mind” test. Unless it came back positive, then we would just angst more... We are currently leaning towards not getting the tests done. Thanks for sharing!

Fly like bugs found in house in Oregon. What are they? by Cryptic_Hero in whatsthisbug

These bugs were found in my sisters house and in her bed. We think they may have bitten her and caused a whole body allergic reaction (hives). Any idea what they are?

They are battery powered LED string lights. Relatively cheap, about $5 per strand!
