A stratus cloud (St) is a cloud belonging to a class characterized by horizontal layering with a uniform base, as opposed to convective clouds that are as tall or taller than wide (these are termed cumulus clouds). More specifically, the term stratus is used to describe flat, hazy, featureless clouds of low altitude varying in color from dark gray to nearly white. Stratus clouds may produce a light drizzle or snow. A "cloudy day" usually features a sky filled with stratus clouds obscuring the disk of the sun. These clouds are essentially above-ground fog formed either through the lifting of morning fog or when cold air moves at low altitudes over a region.

A stratus cloud can form from stratocumulus spreading out under an inversion, indicating a continuation of prolonged cloudy weather with drizzle for several hours and then an improvement as it breaks into stratocumulus. Stratus clouds can persist for days in anticyclone conditions. On a weak warm front, it is common for a stratus to form, rather than the usual nimbostratus. If it is seen after rain it should clear due to warm front succession, but if this does not occur the stratus must be part of the warm sector of a frontal system; heavy rain may start again with the arrival of a cold front after several hours of stratus.

Strati (automobile)
Strati is an electric car developed by Local Motors and manufactured in collaboration with Cincinnati Incorporated and Oak Ridge National Laboratory. It is the world's first 3D-printed electric car. The car was manufactured using a Large Scale 3D Printer developed by ORNL and Cincinnati Inc. The car took just 44 hours to print during the 2014 International Manufacturing Technology Show in Chicago, Illinois. The printing was followed by three days of milling and assembling, with the completed car first test-driven on September 13, 2014. Strati is claimed to be the world's first 3D-Printed electric car.
Design
In April 2014, Local Motors organized the 3D Printed Car Design Challenge crowdsourcing to assist in the production of a full-body 3D-printed car. Seven finalists were selected from more than 200 submissions. In June 2014, Local Motors announced that the challenge was won by Michele Anoé of Italy, who was awarded the $5,000 prize. After the contest, Local Motors took the design and made several modifications so that the car could be manufactured through 3D-Printing.

Strati
by: StemageMotorhead is kind like you
Nobody really likes them but they say that they do
This ego is morbidly obese
It makes it hard to keep the peace and quiet
You can cover you ears and hum to try and blend it, but
the palms of your hands are transparent
There is more to this than you can hear at this moment
Just hang up and try again later
Give it a few years
Analogies don't come quick for those who need them
I left the "ly" on purpose
Leave me alone
I could use some more convincing
Jumping jacks, a tall shot of jack
I'm ready, Go ahead
Does it hurt to grow that fast? I've got some extra
pity if you'd ask
You can cover you ears and hum to try and blend it, but
the palms of your hands are transparent
There is more to this than you can hear at this moment
Just hang up and try again later
Give it a few years
