Why can’t I press the heart a hundred times.

I like that—a sky glitch. Makes me think of my only brush with lightning; it must have landed maybe 20 feet behind me. it was an unforgettable experience, all right, but not of the “Mediterranean cruise” variety. My ears hurt for hours.

My wife in college was looking out the window and happened to see a girl get struck by lightning. She was a paramedic at the time, she ran outside, gave her CPR and revived her.

Every thunderstorm is a reminder to me of who really dominates nature :)

I adore thunder and lightning! One day I will dance on a mountain during a thunderstorm. Love this!

So unique and yet so grounded in reality

"Overloading sensitive receivers." That makes me remember listening to AM radio at work and the crackle it would make during thunderstorms

I know! It's amazing! There are dedicated chips (ICs) that will detect this and then alert people. I think they are in products made for hikers as a kind of early warning.

I'm not sure they are more effective than say, looking at the sky 😀 but if you are on a mountain your focus may be elsewhere so perhaps this helps.

I really appreciate this! There’s a road ahead of me to learn how… but now there’s a road. Plus it’s so cool that you are sharing the knowledge!

Yeah, I can only imagine what you will do once you get past this tech hurdle. For you it will be a new canvas! I will try to help piece by piece here and hopefully there will be a rush of energy of visual experimentation.

As long as the post starts with a poem maybe I can sneak in a video of “streaming help” haha. Let me think about it.
