THE NATIONAL PARK SERVICE IS IN OPEN REBELLION
YES
Is this for real?
It absolutely is, yes. @NASAClimate on twitter is also continuing to tweet climate facts in defiance of the gag order.

how to “get” fahrenheit temps
think of it as a percentage of heat
40% hot? eh, kind of on the chilly side
75% hot? that’s pretty warm now
20% hot? that’s actually not warm at all
110% hot? we’re dying
IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW
Fun fact: the Fahrenheit scale is used in temperature according to how it feels to a human. So looking at in percents actually is what you should do
Now can I get a cheat sheet for Celsius
Ask water how hot it feels.
The notion that the Fahrenheit scale is based on how temperature feels to humans is only half true.
It’s true that 100 degrees Fahrenheit (well, 96, for Reasons) was originally defined as human body temperature.
Zero degrees, however, isn’t based on any human reference point.
Rather, it’s set where it is because the guy who came up with the Fahrenheit scale just hated using negative numbers, so he pegged 0 Fahrenheit to the record low temperature in his hometown of
Gdańsk, Poland.
So it’s less “100 feels really hot. and 0 feels really cold” and more “100 is roughly human body temperature, and 0 is colder than it ever gets in
Gdańsk.”
This eye examination chart was first published in 1907 and created by German eye doctor George Mayerle, who worked in San Francisco, California. He helped form the first national optical association, the Optical Specialists’ Association of America, and developed this eye chart to aid in diagnosing eye ailments.
When the chart was sold, advertisements promised that it would help increase the income of general practitioners, because the chart “convinces the patient as to his professional skill and ability to diagnose, and, at least, correct defective eyesight.”
The artist’s signature: Wassily Kandinsky
“Kandinsky aimed to form a ‘science of art’ and create a ‘lyrical geometry’; nothing was to be left to chance.”
Walter Kandinsky’s use of
scientific precision and geometry that bordered on poetic beauty and whimsy is
obvious in a glance at his art and a squint at his signature. Enchanted by the
curve of a brushstroke on a macro and micro scale, the interference between
rigid geometry and fluid appears to be an integral part of Kandinsky’s artistic
identity.

records and museum and gallery holdings, in the Benezit Dictionary of Artists.

I’m walking around and talking to the people I know. And I see Terry Farrell standing off by herself. I’d never actually met her, so I sheepishly go up and introduce myself to her, and I said, ‘Ms. Farrell, I’m André Bormanis.’ ‘Oh, nice to meet you. What do you do on the show?’ I’m like, ‘I’m the science consultant. I’m the guy who puts all that technobabble into your dialogue.’ And she literally grabbed me by the lapels and lifted me off my feet. She’s six feet tall. She’s a very tall, striking woman. She’s, like, ‘You fucking asshole!’

@wellntruly I don’t know if you’ve seen this before but JUST IN CASE
(for the record she then put him down and very nicely explained that it’s very difficult to act against someone while trying to remember all the technobabble so to please give her complex stuff while she’s talking to a computer but not when she’s trying to keep up scene tension with someone else)
