Do not normalize children dying from measles. Measles was previously eliminated in the US, thanks to vaccines.
When children die from measles, it means that adults have catastrophically failed to protect them because they have rejected basic science.
did you know that Fibonacci numbers (where each number is the sum of the previous two) can convert miles to kilometres?
1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, ...
pick any number in the sequence as your miles, and the next number in the sequence approximates the number of kilometres
this works because the ratio of consecutive Fibonacci numbers converges to 1.6180334 (the golden ratio φ), while the number of kilometres in a mile is 1.609344
to see how close this is, consider the approximation compared to the actual kilometres
miles km actual km

Collecting inspiring images of trucks being stuck under a bridge
My 1.5yr old kid is obsessed with the moon. He asks for it all the time, so we try to bring him outside and show it to him. Of course it's not always visible and he gets sad.
Due to Reasons I happen to have a galaxy projector that also has a built-in pico projector in order to play cheesy "3D" space videos. I figured that it probably had a micro SD card somewhere in it, which turned out to be true.
So with the help of a screwdriver and ffmpeg I've now given my kid his very own moon.
