Donning a NASA patch and flying to the International Space Station is an incredible honor, but with it comes many sacrifices. Not only do astronauts have to leave their friends and family for extended periods of time, they also miss out on a lot of the things that most of us take for granted.

For NASA astronauts Christina Koch and Nick Hague, their current mission aboard the ISS meant celebrating the 4th of July without fireworks. That didn’t stop them from enjoying the day, however, and the pair shared their Independence Day downtime with the public via Twitter.

Type a particular string of characters into an iMessage and send it to someone else, and strange things could happen. We’ve seen these accidental discoveries time and time again in the past when users found character combinations that would render an iPhone useless. Apple is typically quick to patch these bugs and has done it again, this time with an issue that Google researchers discovered. Received in iMessage, a specific set of characters can do the unthinkable to your iPhone, and that is to brick it, locking you out of everything on it. The only fix is a factory reset and there’s no way to recover lost data that wasn’t backed up.

Hopefully, the fireworks displays you all beheld on Thursday as you celebrated the Fourth of July with family and friends were dazzling, firey and exciting displays of color that filled the night sky — displays that were also hopefully planned and very much controlled. Unlike a makeshift fireworks display that unfolded in Fort Mill, South Carolina on Thursday at a local store, Davey Jones and the House of Fireworks.

A fire there set off rockets and a huge stash of fireworks, sending everything exploding and shooting off wildly in uncontrollable bursts and pops above the store — in such a way that it may make some of you leery of ever being anywhere near one of these stores again, lest you be there for the next blaze that sets off a fireworks display.

For the past two days, we’ve been telling you about a crazy sale on Amazon that we thought was definitely a mistake. 24-count boxes of Anker AAA batteries typically sell for $13 a box, but Amazon slashed them to $8.99 and then ALSO added a huge coupon that further chopped the price to $6 and change. Similarly, 24-count boxes of Anker AA batteries sell for $16, but they dropped to $10.99 and ANOTHER huge coupon further cut the price to $8.46. Well, we’ve got good news and bad news. The good news is Amazon fixed the mistake on the AAA batteries, so the sale price is back up to $8.99 (which is obviously still a ridiculously good price). But the good news is that Amazon hasn’t yet caught the error on the AA batteries, so you can still grab a box for $8.46!

A new research study from the Truth Initiative reveals that Netflix is the worst media offender when it comes to depicting smoking on-screen. After analyzing Netflix programs aimed at viewers in the 15-24 age range, the research found that a slew of Netflix originals feature characters smoking cigarettes in a majority of episodes. What’s more, the depiction of characters smoking — both on Netflix and on broadcast TV — appears to be on the rise.

During the 2015-2016 season of The Walking Dead, for example, a character was shown smoking in about 38% of the episodes. In the following season, that figure jumped all the way up to 94%. The worst offender, though, was Stranger Things, with the research finding that every single episode of Stranger Things in season 1 and 2 featured a character smoking.
