Real time data, weather data, it’s all interesting isn’t it? On Nullschool.net you can explore real time wind data and watch weather patterns form. It’s pretty neat if I do say so myself. Check it out if you can, I am. {nullschool|reddit}
I just thought that you should know that. Yes it’s not that scientific of a test, and yes all the theoretical math and science should answer the question for you, but I thought you should know for yourself by watching this six minute video. Don’t say I never did anything for you.
I like Mark Rober, some of his videos are cool, some are awkward, most are enjoyable. This one is really interesting he goes into how he stalked his package thieves, then how he enlisted the help of his friend to design and build a glitter+fart bombing dummy package.

I’m sure that is serves some sort of educational purpose, but I’m also sure that whatever purpose it is, this device is far … Continued
This is a simple question, but sometimes, the simplest things are the most difficult to grasp.
Here’s some 360° video of this Monday’s total Solar Eclipse. Witnessing this event in person was amazing. We drove 16 hours down to Greenville South Carolina only to be stuck in clouds.
