SCIENCE TIME

so there's this website called https://earth.nullschool.net/
and it's fucking awesome. you can check live maps of weather, wind, temperature, ocean, chemical, and particle data collected by our satellites. It looks amazing too, I've seen a lot of hurricanes develop and run their course in real time, or keep tabs on air pollution caused by forest fires. Check it out, it's free and badass.

Physics.

when I first ran D&D, my grandmother, who had bought fully into the IT'S SATANISM hype, insisted on sitting and watching the first session

about an hour in, she threw her hands up and yelled 'THIS IS JUST MATH' and stormed off

Pretty much my thoughts everytime I power up my treadmill.

Every day :(

Posting on all my other networks, trying to see if I can't jump start this Scotland Instance :)

@rodti New member here, love the idea of this #Scotland social network, really hope we can jump start it somehow! I've posted it on r/scotland and on my other social profiles, would be awesome to see it come alive :)

Hello. I don't have an elaborate story to tell about how I came from Matosphere or something like that, but I will tell you this seems like a nice alternative to Twitter. Nice to see you all!

This is really cool

@Nyoei I've always had this fan-style love of general relativity. E=MC^2 just kind of captured my imagination as a kid. The idea that five or six symbols could define something fundamental about the universe was big to me. And that this something could be tested and proven correct or incorrect really just jived with how my mind worked then and still works now.

Good advice...

I am all about Professor Zvezdelina Stankova right now. Her lectures on mathematics are brilliant, easy to understand, and i love that smirk she always gets when she reveals a really intriguing proof. I hope I get to see her in person one day.

@Nyoei Well there is absolutely no advantage to memorizing digits other than practice i memorizing stuff. Just memorize a fractional approximation.

22/7 is off from pi by only ~1/791

If that isnt accurate eough then 355/113 approximates pi within ~1/3000000

Both of these are far more accurate than any digits you could memorize.
