You can see that in the thermal video, where the drops stick around for a bit; they actually don&#8217;t skitter around quite as much as normal, possibly because the pan is a little too hot thanks to me mucking around with the camera.<\/p>\n<p>So, anyway, there&#8217;s your photo of the day, which is mostly an advertisement for your thermal-imaging video of the day.
