When smoke rises straight up from a chimney, forming a thin, unbroken thread, it is often the result of very calm and stable atmospheric conditions, with little or no wind.

Wind turbine shatters into pieces as a result of... wind. So let me get this straight... These expensive monstrosities are utterly useless when the wind isn't blowing, and they're even more useless when the wind is too strong? Right, gotcha. 🤡

A thin coating of glaze ice on a surface, especially on roads is known as black ice. The ice itself is not black, but visually transparent, often resulting in very slippery and hazardous conditions. [📹 John Kriesel]

Even when it really is windy and rainy in Gaza, Palestinians see the need to invent exaggerated conditions in a fabricated AI. Notice the flags starting at 00:10 of the video. One is waving wildly "as a result of the wind", the other, which is "lazy" next to it, barely moving... This is how lying is a way of life....

As we enter a third night of anti-regime uprisings, I need you to keep the following in mind: When Iran rises up, it's not because Israel or Mossad organised it. It's a result of 47 years of misery, death and oppression. Iranians have agency. This is organic and home grown.

Netherlands: Massive wind turbine crashes to the ground as a result of, you guessed it... the wind. 🤡 Wind turbines: Completely useless when the wind isn't blowing, and apparently even more useless when the wind is blowing. And to think we're closing down all our coal mines and power plants—which provided cheap and abundant energy—and replacing them with these expensive, inefficient and intermittent monstrosities, while China and India build coal plants like there's no tomorrow.

Well.. that wasn't forecasted... Gonna shut us down for multiple days now ... Access to fields with the trucks is gonna be a big problem when it warms up next week...even enough to drift with very little wind...

Watch as #smoke 💨 from Canadian #fire 🔥 moves away, then backtracks towards Florida. This is due to the famous #Bermuda high and something we call atmospheric wave breaking where pieces of the jet stream break off and then meander. In this case the smoke gets caught up in this process and attempts to get back to the SE US by late week. By then it will be thin, diffuse and barely noticeable but it’s a good lesson that the atmosphere is a fluid and “It’s all connected!”

When it finally snows, a little frolicking is in order! Bison fur is very well insulated and along with thick skin and layers of fat, they stay warm even during snowy conditions. Come springtime, they’ll shed their wooly layer of fur. 📸batkinson

Most of us grew up seeing simplified diagrams of the Hubble Space Telescope and assumed the James Webb Space Telescope follows a similar path around Earth. In reality, it operates in a very different region of space. It is not orbiting our planet in the traditional sense but instead travels around a point about 1.5 million kilometers away known as the Sun–Earth L2 point, keeping pace with Earth as both move around the Sun. This location is often described as a gravitational balance point, but it is not truly stable or neutral. JWST does not sit still there; it follows a controlled orbit around L2 and requires periodic adjustments to stay on course. The result is a delicate, engineered dance between gravity and motion, where the telescope remains aligned with Earth while staying far from its heat and light, allowing it to observe the universe with extraordinary clarity.

The way Jungkook finishes the last lyric of "boy with luv" by forming a heart and then pointing it towards Jimin and see Jimin's reaction he seems to be receiving the signal very well although a little surprised 🙃

Exploring a little effort with claude and this what it generates. No design tool used, no code harm, just few lines of prompt and here the result

A dad and his daughter danced by a lake, and he was incredible—confident, joyful, and completely present. No concern about the crowd, no self-consciousness, just a genuine moment with his child. That’s what many of us overlook: presence is its own kind of excellence. We spend so much time waiting for perfect conditions, when often the most meaningful moments happen when we simply show up and fully engage.

Ondol is a traditional Korean floor-heating system that uses heat from flue gases. A fire lit outside or at the side of the house sends hot smoke through underground channels, warming the stone floors before exiting through a chimney. [🎞️tech-evolution]

Funny or no? You’re at an event with your family when a young boy comes over and sips your slushie straight out of the straw. You don’t know him at all. Is this just a funny mishap or is it weird? I’d probably laugh.

A better — or at least a more artisanal — method is to do it by hand using a technique known as pad stitching. This is where the tailor picks up multiple layers of cloth and adds shape using their hands, needle, and thread. Can result in a better lapel roll. IG atelier.willow

Austin Road Conditions: Hwy 183 heading toward the Austin Airport is covered with a thin layer of ice and snow, Traffic is light. We only saw about a dozen cars on our trip from downtown to AUS. CBS Austin

1. stable orbits around black holes are very possible and common, and lots of other things that don’t quite match up with black hole physics, but given the devil is involved i accept it 2. “geostationary orbit” is a term that only applies to a very specific orbit around Earth

Mark Fisher was right. Smartphones are a kind of portal into cyberspace. I've always been fond of Fisher's essay "Touchscreen Capture". It's very Baudrillard. There's no longer a spectacle imposed from outside. The spectacle is now internal, it constantly demands an active response from us, our playful participation as subjects. No one chooses to enter cyberspace anymore, we choose to leave it. Baudrillard had already described a "culture of tactile communication," a festival of stimuli and miniaturised tests. That's the thread Fisher picks up when he links it to the rise of the touchscreen.

What’s your attitude when you get a windy day on the course? One of the best things about playing links golf is you get used to the wind. You go from fearing it to craving it. (When the course is made for wind.) We had a super windy day at Kennemer in Holland. Had 180 yards straight into the breeze on 9, went with a dead hand 7 wood and struck gold. A great shot is always satisfying. But the more variables you take on, the more satisfying it is. Learning to treat wind as an opportunity to really play golf completely changes your enjoyment level.
