Rolling out of bed this morning, bleary-eyed b/c I was up way to late doing astrophotography, and I see sunlit morning dew. I have to photograph it, but I had to re-set all the camera settings while mostly asleep, so I had to 'fix in post', as they say....

Let me get this straight.... you had all your equipment set for stargazing but then you had to reset it all to photograph morning dew?! :smile:

You got away with it pretty good though!

I asked Google AI why no blue jeans:


AI Overview



A sign with this specific combination of restrictions indicates you are entering a correctional facility, prison, or highly secure jail environment. Each rule serves a distinct operational purpose to maintain safety, security, of the institution.

🚫 Why "No Blue Jeans"?

The restriction on blue jeans is a critical security measure to prevent escape and visual confusion during an emergency.

  • Inmate Uniforms: In many state and federal correctional systems, incarcerated individuals wear state-issued blue denim shirts and pants.

  • Identification: If visitors, contractors, or staff wear blue jeans, it becomes difficult for correctional officers to differentiate between an inmate and a civilian at a glance.

  • Blends in: In the event of a riot or an escape attempt, someone wearing blue jeans could easily blend into a crowd of inmates or walk past security checkpoints unnoticed.
