If you are familiar with binary, what would you need to teach someone who only knows decimal? If you do not know how to count in binary, let us know if the video below the break helps you understand how the base-2 number system works.

This will make your day.

Originally shared by John Samuel This will make your day. Adorable, but I felt it was somewhat poignant at the end. Really do take the two and a half minutes to watch this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=byAfC5yW_hw

Following up on the Planetary Response Network reshare. Alicia Smith just pointed me at this page https://www.zooniverse.org/projects/vrooje/planetary-response-network-and-rescue-global-caribbean-storms-2017/about/results This discusses the effect we - common folk over the world - had on the the rescue and recovery efforts following Hurricanes Irma and Maria last year. https://www.zooniverse.org/projects/vrooje/planetary-response-network-and-rescue-global-caribbean-storms-2017/about/results

I have also received notification from the PRN, and really hope they don't have to kick into gear.

I have also received notification from the PRN, and really hope they don't have to kick into gear. But if they do, I'll help out as much as I can. For those not already signed up with Zooniverse, one of us will send out a note if they fire up the system. Originally shared by Alicia Smith So I just got this email because I was a volunteer with them the first time. And I teared up a bit, because it's wonderful that I can basically be International Rescue in my lounge room. If you ever wanted to be John Tracey up in Thunderbird 5 as the eye in the sky helping rescue people go over to zooniverse.org and get yourself a login. And if they don't end up launching the Planetary Response Network, there's heaps of other cool stuff to help with. "Hi there, We'd like to give you a heads-up that we may be launching the Planetary Response Network again in the coming days in response to possible destructive storms making landfall in the Caribbean.

Via Boing Boing is this rather odd drink. I want to try to make it now! I give you Chaos Soup. Served cold, 55% tomato, 12% peach, and probably around 5-10% cream cheese and the same in sugar.

Via Shar Banning Although let's pay a bit more attention to the last character - Tapputi. Tapputi get a bit of a short shrift in her representation, so let's have a bit of a read about this amazing inventor of many of the modern world's chemical techniques. https://deathscent.com/2016/03/08/the-lost-history-of-women-in-chemistrythe-first-perfumer/ Originally shared by Polynomial -C
