we’re considering it
i think if nilered, explosions + fire, and styropyro all teamed up they would be capable of overthrowing all world governments, but they just wouldn’t want to

Made it to Indiana, despite the highway degradation as one moves east... Peak Highway seems to be around Utah! Also stopped by the new experimental compound for @styropyro_ , an avid experimenter in chemistry, lasers and high voltage. Quite the place!

We’re working on it as fast as we can! ;> We’re building a twin set of 120ft high Tesla Coils to study the origins of lightning and large scale wireless power. Here’s the working 40ft prototype. Could you spare a few of those awesome Tesla Mech E’s and some batteries?

First off, I have no control over what ads play on my channel. Second, I don't care what they are advertising as long as I can afford to install a second salt water shark tank in my 100,000sqft mega mansion. I HAVE A SHARK TANK BRO AND YOU DON'T, GET OVER IT BRO!!!!!

we can model a lightning strike by finding the shortest path in a random maze, from a point at the top to the ground. To find the path, we send out a frontier through the maze, and trace it back once it reaches the ground

In 1939, George Dantzig, a graduate student at UC Berkeley, solved two open problems in statistical theory, which he had mistaken for homework after arriving late to a lecture by Jerzy Neyman. The two problems ended up being his entire PhD thesis.

A wild ride from "A sobering experience with isopropyl ether peroxide". If you had to guess the decade this was published in... pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ed0…

The Lancaster family video of the Washington, IL EF-4 tornado on Nov 17th 2013 is one of the wildest you'll see. If you've ever wondered what it'd be like to stare down a violent tornado and ride it out on your porch, wonder no more: youtu.be/pVanmvVNHcc

I always find it interesting that the longer I work on a video, the worse I think it is. Often, by the time I'm done, I feel like it's not even worth posting.
