    I remember my grade 8 science fair project almost 25 years ago, I also did asteroids. I flung marbles at a cake pan full of coffee and flour to make impact craters… Meanwhile today’s kids are actually trying to solve problems. Good for them.

        I was trying to solve a problem too. How to get a passing grade on something I put together an hour before the fair, lol

    Ugh. A video story. Instead of actually reading, we can painstakingly watch a clip as someone else does a sloooowwww voiceover.
