Realized I was storing my emergency candles wrong after a basement flood last month

I kept all my candles in cardboard boxes on the basement floor, thinking they'd be fine for years. Then a pipe burst and ruined about 40 of them before I even thought to raise them up on shelves. Has anyone else learned the hard way about a simple storage mistake with their prepper supplies?

Hot take on the moon landing footage I saw at a convention last month

I was at a science museum in Denver and they had this exhibit comparing the original 1969 broadcast to the enhanced digital version from 2009. The shadows in the original go in different directions in the same shot, but the 2009 version has them all lined up straight. They say it's just lighting trickery from the lunar surface, but the difference is pretty obvious when you see them side by side. My buddy thinks it's proof of a studio shoot on a sound stage, but I'm leaning toward the NASA explanation about uneven ground. Has anyone else looked at this specific before and after and come away with a different take?

Rant: That crash at the 7-Eleven on Route 9 made me stop trusting dashcam footage

Last Tuesday I was grabbing gas at the 7-Eleven on Route 9 and saw this fender bender in the parking lot. Two cars tapped bumpers, nothing major, but the guy in the SUV claimed the sedan backed into him. The sedan driver showed me his dashcam clip and it clearly showed the SUV rolling forward into him. But the SUV guy pulled up his own dashcam and it showed the exact opposite. Both cameras had timestamps matching, both looked legit. Now I just assume any video can be edited or faked since both drivers seemed so sure. Has anyone else run into evidence that seemed solid but turned out to be totally conflicting?
