How do space telescopes and cameras capture images of objects outside the visible spectrum? Specifically, when a photo is composed, how are they able to make non-visible wavelengths visible in a picture? If there's some type of color shifting, what affect does that have on colors within the visible spectrum?

For context, I recently went down a rabbit hole reading up on the JWST and other space telescopes.

I'm playing The Last of Us part 2 and I put the audio and subtitles in French. I noticed they say "la vache" a lot but I don't under the context. It sounds like they are using it as slang like poutain or merde. Is it like saying "holy cow?"

Nothing extraordinary about this, but I felt like sharing. It took me a while to make the connection. My wife and I met at a hotel. She worked in room service. I liked to get my coffee from them as the employee cafeteria was on the other side of the hotel, and the coffee was always garbage. When she was working, I'd drink coffee all day. I'm sensitive to caffeine so I would normally stop drinking after noon. But if she was working, I'd keep getting refills up until her shift ended. I'd be tweeking by the time she clocked out. She told me fairly recently she would always keep coffee available, even after they were supposed to stop brewing for the day, just so she could give me a refill. Years

Hi, everyone! It's reassuring to know that I'm not the only one overwhelmed by mattress shopping. Hopefully you all can help me narrow it down.

The sleepers: Me - 6', 160lbs. History of lower back problems. Light sleeper. Side sleeper and I toss and turn a lot. Wife - 5' 3", 125lbs. Has fibromyalgia and is almost always dealing with hip pain. Heavy sleeper. Side sleeper.

Current bed: Zinus king size memory foam mattress from Amazon on a platform bedframe. It's about 5-6 years old. It's supposed to be firm, but just feels hard. It feels like it has no give or contouring at all. I wake up sore and tired every day. I sleep better in hotels and guest beds. It was great at first, but I feel l

Low self-esteem, but self-absorbed?

I was talking to my wife last night and was able to describe this social anxiety I have. I'm more likely to fear what people think and say about me than my own safety. My wife and I talk about this often, specifically about how many women don't have this luxury. I was able to elaborate on my social anxiety and realized that if I come across 1 person who thinks I'm an idiot, asshole, or some other negative trait, i automatically assume EVERYONE feels the same way about me. Then I hyper-focus on trying to fix myself, but i truly never know if I succeed. I just keep trying to fix myself so that everyone will like me. But it's not fair to expect everyone to like me. On an emotional level, that's

When installing a kitchen backsplash, specifically when there isn't one preexisting, should you account for the possibility of replacing the counter top and/or cabinets in the future?

Not that I'm planning on doing that anytime soon. I don't want to install the backsplash in a manner that would make it harder for me to replace the countertop and/or cabinet should they get damaged or anything like that.

I am planning on using metal L-shape trim edging on the exposed sides and I'm wondering if I should use it alongside the cabinets and countertops as well.

Thanks!

Hi All,

TL;DR: Want to install a tile backsplash in the kitchen but not sure where to start/stop due to the location of certain outlets, cabinets, window sills, and more. Live in the GA Coast. Link to album.

I'm going to install a dark gray 4"x12" tile backsplash in my kitchen. The wall behind the range doesn't concern me too much, but I'm not sure how to do the wall around the kitchen sink. There aren't really any spots where I can clearly stop. The top right cabinet stops short of the end of the counter. There's also that 4 panel light switch there. On the left of th

I'm a very inexperienced and hands-off trader. I was poking around tdameritrade and saw these reports for a stock that is currently doing well, AMD specifically. But these reports are so polarized that I giggled when I saw them. Admittedly, I don't do too much due diligence. But if I were to rely on a resource like this: https://i.imgur.com/NP75cmM.png, how can I best utilize that information? Any tips on how to decipher this information beyond what each ticker shows on the surface? Of course I can read into each one, but what exactly are they distilling to get that rating?
