This is not okay. This is the okay in a single way. This is exactly the wrong way to talk about privilege. 20k+ notes and they are almost all laughing and playing along? Please, my Tumblr friends, let’s put some sense in this chain.

fuckyeahfluiddynamics:

High viscosity silicon oil is sandwiched between two circular plates. As the upper plate is lifted at a constant speed, air flows in from the sides. The initially circular interface develops finger-like instabilities, due to the Saffman-Taylor mechanism, as the air penetrates. Eventually the fluid will completely detach from one plate.

The Guardian’s interactive team—the same team that produced, among other visual feats, the rolling history of the Arab uprisings and a Facebook-linked gay rights wheel (which co-won a prize for explanatory reporting at the Online News Association awards last weekend)—is out with a new election project which features a whimsical, animated, and easy-to-understand balloon UI.

How many natural resources would we need if the entire world’s population consumed them like Americans do? More than we have.

What Would Happen If The Entire World Lived Like Americans?

Daring NASA Mars Mission Broadcast Lands In Times Square

The Toshiba Vision screen in New York City’s Times Square will become the largest East Coast location for the public to see live mission coverage of Curiosity, NASA’s most advanced planetary rover, as it lands on the Martian surface at 1:31 a.m. EDT August 6.

The Toshiba Vision screen will broadcast NASA TV coverage beginning at 11:30 p.m. EDT August 5 and continuing through 4 a.m. EDT the next day. Programming will originate from Mission Control at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory’s (JPL) in Pasadena, Calif. The rover is on a precise course for a landing beside a Martian mountain to begin 2 years of unprecedented scientific detective work.

Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera (LROC) versus Conspiracy Theorists

NASA showed images of the lunar landing sites in 2009, punching all moronic conspiracy theorists a new stupid face, Buzz Aldrin style. Now they have released new higher resolution shots taken again by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter.

These images were taken with the low-altitude Narrow Angle Camera, according to Arizona State University researcher Mark Robinson, principal investigator for the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera (LROC):

The new low-altitude Narrow Angle Camera images sharpen our view of the moon’s surface. A great example is the sharpness of the rover tracks at the Apollo 17 site. In previous images the rover tracks were visible, but now they are sharp parallel lines on the surface.

You can also clearly see the Lunar Modules’ descent stages.

You do one thing. First you grow up. Because, if you grow up means, automatically your son will grow up. And when your son is growing up, give him a pack of condoms. Now don’t give that confused look and all. Seriously, give him a pack of condoms. Along with that, give him a lot of free advice….
