It’s a great excuse to repost this wonderful 1950s portrait from the Historical Society of Princeton of the father of the general theory of relativity wearing an awesome pair of fuzzy slippers.

Not new, but new to science, its Latin name means “undulating wave”. it’s like staring up from under the sea, or from beneath an undulating ice formation, except we are seeing a cloud rather than a solid or liquid.
They look ominous, but are rarely stormy. Why they form and what their pattern means? I haven’t been able to find anything. Can you?

My best friend from back in the day continues to talk massive amounts of shit I wanna smack the fuck out of him but I’m better than that dopehead scumbag
Source: thisiscolossal.comHere’s an activity guaranteed to keep you busy on a wintry day: Build an awesome rainbow igloo in your own backyard!
“Thanks to an ingenious mother from Edmonton it’s quite possible nobody will every build a plain white igloo again. The adventure began with a kernel of an idea from Brigid Burton, whose daughter Kathleen Starrie and boyfriend Daniel Gray, an engineering student, were coming for a winter visit from New Zealand. Wanting to “keep him occupied” during the frigid winter days that often dip down to -25 °F (-31 °C), last October she began filling paper cartons with colored water and setting them outside to form translucent ice bricks. She hoped Gray’s engineering skills would do the rest. Like a total champ he accepted the challenge and with the help of additional family and neighbors the team spent nearly 150 hours fitting the 500 ice bricks into place. After completion the raingbow igloo was so visually striking the local news showed up to do a feature on it.”

I might get a puppy and I’m super fucking exited about it they’re pit/great Dane mixes and soo effing cute they’re my boys dogs puppies and the mother has such a sweet temperament, so I’m not so skeptical of the pitbull breed as I was seriously bit when I was younger and still have a scar right next to my eye but they really are sweet so I can’t be worried
