Fun little math trick I find really helpful: the ratio of a mile to a kilometer is within 1% of the Golden Ratio. That means that if you have a good memory for Fibonacci numbers (1 2 3 5 8 13 21 34 55 89) you can convert pretty accurately by taking consecutive Fibonacci numbers.

For example, 89 kilometers is really close to 55 miles (55.3). Or, say you need to convert 26 miles to kilometers: 26 can be written as 21 plus 5, so taking the next Fibonacci number up gives 34 and 8, meaning it should be around 42 kilometers. Sure enough, it's 41.8 km!

Greetings bugs and worms!

This comic is a little different than what I usually do but I worked real hard on it—Maybe I'll make more infographic stuff in the future this ended up being fun. Hope you learned something new :)

If you are still curious and want to learn more about OCD, you can visit the International OCD Foundation's website. I also recommend this amazing TED ED video "Starving The Monster", which was my first introduction to the disorder and this video by John Green about his own experience with OCD.

The IOCDF's website can also help you find support groups, therapy, and has lots of online guides and resources as well if you or a loved one is struggling with the disorder. It is very comprehensive!

Reblog to teach your followers about OCD

(But also not reblogging doesn't make you evil, silly goose)

game that starts out as a cozy little farming sim and gradually expands into full-blown factory farming where you're raising livestock in narrow stalls by the millions and have enough economic sway to influence environmental policy-making that may slow your profits

made some progress on the stitching and frogging! Still have that bit in the corner but i'm not fussed about getting it done as it will be awhile until i'm stitching that high up again.

Not a lot of progress over the last two weeks as i was traveling, but I'm almost done frogging! and my pattern tracker says i'm about 20% done. It doesn't feel like 20% though because i have to fill in so much of that background blue. I'm saving the dark blue until last so that i can stitch without a pattern when i need to. Though, i'm going to have to start working on the bottom so i can roll the pattern up in my scroll frame.

photography is wild. in person i can't really see the difference between that dusty blue and green but it is so clear in the photo?? also i'm finally done frogging! Was actually done a couple of hours after my last update but i wanted to see how far i could get in a month. i'm almost done re-stitching all the sections i had to frog, but i'm most excited to be almost half way done.

Another month's worth of progress! And i'm finally done with one of the colors! it is the strawberries which i actually started last and have the least number of stitches, but you have to take your wins somewhere. I am 72% done according to my tacking program, and i think it will be about 6 more weeks of work.

Done! only took about 16 weeks (I would have been faster if i hadn't had to frog so much). I don't know what to do with myself now.

can I get a job as an editor but the only thing I do is correct when someone uses the word "prone" when they mean "supine"

Prince Rupert's drops are toughened glass beads created by dripping molten glass into cold water, which causes it to solidify into a tadpole-shaped droplet with a long, thin tail. These droplets are characterized internally by very high residual stresses, which give rise to counter-intuitive properties, such as the ability to withstand a blow from a hammer or a bullet on the bulbous end without breaking, while exhibiting explosive disintegration if the tail end is even slightly damaged.

In nature, similar structures are produced under certain conditions in volcanic lava
