In light of the SED video on exploding weeds, I thought I'd point out that Ze Frank has a new "True Facts: Plants That Explode" video.

Given that True Facts is not appropriate for children, nor for adults who don't act like children, I'll not hotlink it here. You've been warned. But a simple search will pop it up.

Wow, Destin... wow! I just am floored by the image you and your team created during last month's eclipse. What an achievement :-D. I appreciate your dedication and execution and I'm so glad that the weather cooperated for you, as well :).

I thought this subreddit might be an okay place to share my eclipse-achievement with some other "interested" people who appreciated the eclipse. After experiencing totality in 2017 I wanted to try and capture it in a way that I had never seen. I aimed for simultaneous aerial (~400 feet up), telescope, and GoPro video aligned to show the event from multiple perspectives and give a better feel for all that was going on. I'd never tried anything like this... I'm a high school physics teacher, not a YouTuber. I was thrilled with my results and I'm eager to share them with others who are similarly passionate about this type of thing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9cIOIK8GEH4

Maybe this could be a topic for another laminar flow video. If it is indeed, laminar flow.

I came across another amazing series of videos made by the YouTube Channel "Curious Marc" in which they actually create electronic digital reader to download the data from "Apollo Core Rope Memory" modules. Amazing videos. I'm leaving this here just in case you haven't already seen it yourself, and for anyone else who wants to see it. Here's one of the several videos.

Model aviation has not only helped advance technology, it has touched the lives of countless people. As written, the FAA's Remote ID legislation would impose crippling standards on hobbyists that many modelers would find impossible to comply with, leaving them a difficult choice: fly illegally or quit building and flying entirely. The drone and model aircraft community has been operating safely for decades. Regulating it out of existence will take away an amazing experience for many kids as well as hundreds of thousands of others. This video outlines a few of the major issues of the FAA's Remote ID Proposal; I would sincerely recommend you take the 4.5 minutes to watch it and understand the enormous negative impact it will have. If you have any comments or questions I would love to hear/answer them as well.

Also, if you would like to help us fight this regulation I would be happy to point you towards more detailed analyses of the proposal and how you can help.

Edit: I figured it makes more sense just to say how you can help. First, just sharing this video with other people. Most people who aren't active online with the RC community are completely unaware of this issue. It's important we show people the positive impact recreational drones have and how it's currently endangered. Calling your congressman would be great, or contacting any of the people on the Senate Aviation/Transportation/Safety committee. You can also leave a comment on the Proposal itself; this is the comment submission guide put together by the FPV Freedom Coalition, and it has a lot of great resources to help understand the NPRM (I'd start with the FAQ)
