Grug not like this place. Grug not like owner. Grug like when he do dumb thing. Make Grug laugh with belly. Grug like cat and rock and dog and tree. Fire bad.
Its inhumane to be subjected to audiovisual ads at the gas pump. A moment of respite where i can be still outside in silence with my car and im being screamed at by a reeses cup. This should be illegal for the public good.
Peter Cullen's voice is forever seared into my memory because he did the promo reads for Toonami shows back in the day and he was AMAZING at it. To this day these are my very, very favorite promos ever and he was an enormous reason why. What a legend.
This is what a GLOF looks like in motion: a Glacial Lake Outburst Flood, sometimes called a Jökulhlaup (Icelandic for "glacier run").
Basically: meltwater builds up in a basin trapped against or beneath a glacier. Eventually the ice dam gives way, and all that pent-up water rushes out; sometimes over the course of a day or more.
At Columbia Glacier, this happens almost like clockwork, roughly once a year, with the lake taking about a day and a half to fully drain. No roads, no homes in the path; so it mostly happens quietly, without anyone downstream even noticing.
Compare that to Juneau, where GLOFs along the Mendenhall River actually threaten homes and residents in the valley each year. Serious flood-mitigation work has gone into protecting the community there.
Watching that volume of water suddenly break free from under a glacier is still humbling.
Glaciers aren't the frozen, unmoving things people picture. They're alive, shifting, releasing; a reminder that even "solid" landscapes are anything but static.
