@Russss Those captions works surprisingly well. A few amusing misinterpretations (“all fogging onto” instead of “orthogonal to” amused me) but given it rather was echoey and I wasn’t consistently speaking into the mic, it works really well.

I captured this strange phenomenon recently in SE Colorado at 1000FPS. Check out how the bolt actually follows the turbine blade at the end. If the blade was spinning faster would it draw a lightning circle?? Would love another @LaurelCoons analysis! @WorldAndScience

1/ So I wasn't exaggerating when I said the storm in Kansas the other night was probably the pinnacle of my chasing so far. Experts confirm a very high likelihood that I did capture multiple gigantic jets - more precisely, very rarely captured positive gigantic jets.

There's a limit to how "dynamic" you can get with a tethered test, but we're pushing the envelope as much as we can with the latest test of Gyroc, our VTVL rocket. Thanks to @esa and @spacegovuk. Video here: youtube.com/watch?v=WAMXIB…

This one is a bit niche perhaps, but it was the perfect mix of educational, weird, and original that it made me laugh harder than perhaps all the rest

Whenever I see a quantum computers, it always seems they are made almost entirely out of SMA connectors.
