If @WebVPython and @VPython_Code were to move to Mastodon, would you prefer two feeds or one for both entities? Does it matter?

Great update by @veritasium to his original (excellent) video on energy transmission in a circuit. The shout-out to M&I is quite appreciated (@VPython_Code, @aaronptitus). Definitely watch his if you teach circuits #ITeachPhysics

@WebVPyton THBBBBBT! We’re a bit jealous here. “VPython” is taken by someone who apparently hasn’t tweeted since 2010. I wonder if @TwitterSupport could free up that handle for us? How ‘bout it y’all?

@VPython_Code is really great. One minute you're wondering what it's like to play baseball in the artificial gravity of an O'Neill cylinder. A few minutes later, you have a simulation of projectile motion with Coriolis and centrifugal forces with plots and everything.

By popular demand, arrows with round cross sections are now available! See Help. “round: By default, round is False and the arrow has a square cross-section. If round is True, it has a circular cross-section. The round attribute cannot be changed after creating the arrow. “
