This video shows how lava flows can last months, and how Hawaii deals with it. Pretty crazy!

[tageed-lee]

Really cool!

Really cool!

That's pretty awesome, although I'm sure Suave & Dan could do that as well.

They didn't go around taking photos and videos for that video. They used Google Earth and took a zillion stills, then created a time lapse out of it.

ETA - From the video description:

Happy birthday Google Maps!
The 8th of february is Google maps's birthday, so i've decided to realise this hyperlapse and travel experience entirely in Google Maps.
This video was realised capturing frame by frame, as it would be for a timelapse or a hyperlapse in real life, the movement between every country and every transition.
The total number of screenshots is 3305.

Nu, you don't think DDF'ers have a zillion stills ?

My point was the other way around. The video wasn't made by some super traveler, but by someone with Google Earth/Maps, some editing skills, and a lot of time.

An old pet peeve of mine. Whenever I see those puddles, I try to clear them to the best of my ability. It boggles my mind why retail store owners in near proximity to the corner wouldn't make sure that the water can get to the storm drain.

What's he referring to?

Probably the whole Liz Warren situation.

Probably the whole Liz Warren situation.

No clue what that is. She made fun of someone or someone made fun of her?

Google it. She was attacking Sessions personally or something of the sort, and the majority leader shut her down.

[skyguy918]

Gotta say, I'm loving the flood of videos from major youtubers (at least ones with intellectual channels) that are sponsored(?) by the Gates foundation. Noticed it from vlogbrothers, SmarterEveryDay, MinuteEarth, and a few others I can't remember offhand.

ETA:It's Okay To Be Smart was another.

It was a little less clear cut than that.  She was reading a letter written many years ago by someone else which contained personal attacks on Sessions, "impugning his motives."

I just want to quote what so and so said about you. "you are a jerk, an idiot and brainless."

There is a difference.  The general context of the letter was not personal, and I think that makes it less severe.  I am not saying that it wasn't grounds for the censure she got.  It's just not as egregious as "She was attacking Sessions personally" sounds.
