"Answer...yes if its on the internet it is vulnerable. If its made by humans, it is vulnerable.",

"Pretty prescient dude. And this was 40 years ago. Imagine if people had listened then?",
"Timing.",
"People do. It isn't profitable for corporations and governments to change anything, though.",
"Imagine being in an interview where you're literally showered with nothing but praise lol",
"Sorry Frank, we've used it all up :(",
"Intellectuals vs Politicians \n\nOne masters of the arts of the mental mind and discovery and the other masters the arts of obfuscation and personal gain.\n\nThere is very little these two groups share in common. Except those rare moments when intellectuals have a popular opinion or a financially advantageous one. At a party they would be on opposites sides of the room. Is there any wonder why politicians are tone deaf to cerebral people? The best you can hope for is a leader who heavily relies on the council of learned people. Sadly, those are few and far between. That requires a tremendous amount of humility and a willingness to make unpopular actions from your richest supporters for the greater good.",
"Greatest propaganda campaign in history convincing all the libs that climate change is an existential threat.",
"Greatest propaganda campaign in history convincing all the R's that their terrible opinions and emotional responses are actual valid viewpoints, and that their stupidity is just as valid as science.",
"\"Extinction is the rule. Survival is the exception.\" -Sagan",
"The level of projecting in this comment is off the charts. Accusing Republicans of being emotional while calling anyone you disagree with of being a racist that's the Democrat way.",
"Nah, it's the republican tactic to froth up uneducated emotional fervor with intentional misinformation. Tucker Carlson does it pretty much all day, every day. Say factually incorrect things to flare up hatred and bigotry in the religious uneducated masses who were never taught critical thinking, then direct them wherever you want like sheep. Use buzz words and scream the loudest to appeal to the population who really only cares if the president is \"hurting the right people\". That's the republican MO.\n\nThat's how you got thousands of hillbillies to storm the capital and make an embarrassing mess of themselves at the whim of a pathological liar, con-man, and baby.",
"I would like to point out that Frank Herbert was a speech writer for Nixon, and before he was a writer he was a journalist. He was also 2nd cousins with Joseph McCarthy (his mother's maiden name was McCarthy), so his conservative political roots ran deep.\n\nThat being said, when he ran in those circles, environmentalism and conservation were real political talking points in the Republican party, and held a lot more sway than they do now. Republicans created the national park system under Teddy Roosevelt, and it was the Nixon administration that created the NEPA and EPA, amended the Clean Air Act, and implemented the Endangered Species Act. The Republicans in America used to actually stand for something, unlike the shambling corporate husks they are today.",
">One masters of the arts of the mental mind and discovery and the other masters the arts of obfuscation and personal gain.\n\nThe 'other' masters the art of being reelected, which is largely doing what their base wants them to do.\n\nThe base didn't want to do anything about climate change.",
"Ah yes, it is much easier to believe that tens of thousands of scientists from hundreds of organizations are all in conspiracy with each other to get trivial amounts of grant money (instead of the Nobel prize they would get for showing all those people are wrong), than a few corporations and politicians are muddying the waters, just as they did for leaded gasoline and tobacco.\n\nTruly, impossible to tell which is more likely.",
"You read that comment again, you might notice that he didn't actually call you racist. Race was not mentioned at all. You brought it up.",
">Pretty prescient dude. \n\nI see what you did there. 👌",
"The counter to this usually something about the immortality of pushing this debt on our children. Sorry the worlds fucked up, be we wanted to balance the budget...",
"The problem is that you've got to convince 50% of the population that climate change is real, man made, and that it is worth them making sacrifices today so that people 100 years from now can benefit from it. It is a pretty hard sell when so many people are just trying to figure out where the money will come from to make their next rent or mortgage payment.",
"You must be a GENIUS",
"Just this week the PEOPLE of Maine have voted against allowing a line to bring clean hydro power from Quebec to New England to replace gas power.\n\nIts easy to blame the corporations and governments and then find excuses to not make any sacrifices ourselves.",
"I don't think it was implied that you listen to everything he said.",
"That seems like a really bad-faith interpretation of Dune. Frank Herbert did a very good job, in my opinion, of making Paul and Leto II very powerful but they also are not depicted as good people. I mean, Paul compares himself to Hitler and Genghis Khan in Messiah. They might be powerful via lineage, but the books are pretty clear that they are not morally good, especially once you get beyond the first book.",
"people did listen. I think people dont seem to understand how bad pollution was back in the 70s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dcvvJcy1lkU\n\nThings have gotten much better. Virtually every city in america has recycling programs and renewable energy programs and smog is so rare these videos of heavy smog dont seem real. Just think about the fact that during the Texas winter storm they were blaming wind turbine for the power failure, regardless that it was not true lets not overlook that texas has so many wind turbine they make up significant amount of the power production. This would have been unthinkable in the 70s.\n\nThe debate now is not even about whether we should have renewable energy or reduce pollution it is about the amount of resources we dedicate to it. No serious politician even considers not spending any effort on reducing pollution there is just heated debate on the exact amount that should be spent and a lot of people dont even realize this",

"You would hate the ending to RAMBO 3",
"Not to mention being able to afford bread and milk when these were provided for free in the past.\n\nEdit: milk is more expensive than gasoline. Insanity.",
"This is an old clip. All these problems have been dealt with long ago. /s",
"Well I guess that is an advantage of dying young.",
"I fear we will be saying the same but with a more somber tone in another 40. We can't even get people to agree on wearing a $2 mask.\n \nTrue environmental change will take a huge shift in people's lifestyles that I sadly can't see a large majority of people making. Here's to hoping I'm wrong.",
"Some did - Exxon and others did studies and then buried the findings.",
"There is a quote in another interview from him that is linked at the end of this video that is so good. So many people need to follow this advice.\n\n>\"The problem with leadership is that leaders are human beings and when they make mistakes, their mistakes are amplified by the numbers who follow without question., \n> \n>and that's why I say think for yourself., ask questions.\"",
"Or we could just not have kids anymore and finish the world for ourselves and then give it the next sentient ape species. \n\n50 year party to finish all our resources!",
"As true now as it was then. It's going to be painful transitioning to renewable energy but we need to bite the bullet and get to the other side. Stop thinking short term.",
"Boomers won't have to do this, because they will never apologize for destroying the world. They will take everything they can with them when they die.",
"**oh, there'll be just as much world then as there is now.** Some will adapt, others will not. We may wind up with not so many humans, or humans on another world. But this one isn't going anywhere.",
">I fear we will be saying the same but with a more somber tone in another 40. \n\nI'm nearing my mid-thirties and I've heard this all my life, but nothing changed other than the talk. The simple fact is that people don't want to change their way of life, they are simply going to have to be forced to do it; either by societal coercion or by systemic collapse.",
"Environmentalist ballot initiatives lose all the time. People are not prioritizing the issue enough nor are they being realistic enough about how much it will personally cost them once corporations are required to scale back the production of the carbon-emitting products that they make profits on.",
"They did. Why do you think people phased out DDT, CFCs, and stopped acid rain? De-carbonization of the economy is just a much more monumental problem. The pervasiveness of hydrocarbons in the world's economy is on a level that completely dwarfs every previous issues the environmental movement has ever tackled.",
"Just this week the people of Maine have been duped again into voting against their best interests by the cultural inertia and influence of corporate money in the form of propaganda and other advertisements, social media campaigns and astroturfing",
"No one wants to pay for it. I bet most Redditors can sign up for green energy through their power company now and aren’t doing it because it will take money out of their pocket.",
"You're correct, but also individual responsibility has never been the way that any environmental problem gets solved, or really any large problem involving the economy. It's unrealistic to expect people to make it happen themselves when there's no guarantee anyone else will join them.",
"Why do you think 50% is the magic number?\n\nI think it's much less, but it has to be a specific set of people",
"When was bread and milk provided for free?\n\nAnd milk, unlike gasoline needs to be constantly refrigerated and has a shelf life.",
"That's it right there.",
"Realistically it is more like 65% if you want to see rapid and extensive changes. As soon as life becomes less convenient a lot of people will change their mind.",
"The 3.5 trillion dollar woke “infrastructure” bill begs to differ",
"I don't think 65% of people make the decisions",
"That was too chopped up. I want to see the whole thing",
"It’s not just about just about climate change, it’s also about finite resources and pollution of nature. I feel the second two should be enough to convince even those that don’t believe the climate change hypothesis.",
"If you're not going to hold people accountable for their choices and their votes, might as well give up on democracy.",
"I get my milk for free from your mom. \n\nAnd yes, gas goes bad too. Especially unleaded.",
"\"I refuse to be put in the position to tell my grandchildren, I'm sorry there's no more world for you, we used it all up!\"\n\nNarrator: We used it all up",
"Not if you define \"world\" as arable lands, or non-submerged land.",
"Which is not going to pass and probably never was going to. It’s theater to make people think the solution to the problem is voting for Democrats. Except Democrats have the votes to get it done so Manchin and Sinema are taking one for the team and tanking the bill.",
"Oh shut the fuck up",
"Damn. I wish he also said that message about the Dune series. \"I'm sorry Son, there's no more Dune universe for you, I used it all up.\"",
"It is absolutely not cheaper than non-renewables in the US. It's close, but not quite there yet.",
"We can't even get people to wear masks or get a free vaccine. That doesn't bode well.",
"I'm helping by not dating.",
">how much it will personally cost them\n\nDoesn't have to be that way. The answer is carbon tax and dividend\n\nUsing proven economic levers of taxes and dividends is an efficient method that doesn't require big government bureaucratic bloat and helps poor families the most. \n\nIndividuals planting trees, going zero waste and going vegan helps, but isn't nearly enough as this [video](https://youtu.be/awyp495Ran4) shows via using a [simulator](https://www.climateinteractive.org/tools/en-roads/) to show why a [carbon tax and dividend](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_fee_and_dividend) policy is the single most effective policy for climate action.\n\nhttps://energyinnovationact.org/how-it-works/\n\nThe Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act has widespread support from [economists](https://www.econstatement.org/) and many other [groups](https://energyinnovationact.org/statements/).\n\nAs well as bipartisan popular support\n https://thehill.com/changing-america/opinion/566589-what-if-the-us-taxed-its-fossil-fuels-and-gave-a-check-to-every?amp\n\n\nYou can [write to Congress](https://cclusa.org/write) today and tell them that we need a price on carbon to make an impact on climate change - it's especially critical of you're in a swing state! Check out r/CitizensClimateLobby for more info",
"Not politicians, they are a tool. Oil companies & money is your answer.",
"Doesn't surprise me that the \"conservative\" mindset wants conservation. Surprises me how easy the party was hijacked.",
"How does a carbon tax not significantly raise the price of products that require carbon emissions for consumers?",
"When you run a campaign without opposition then sure, but that isn't the way things work on important issues, especially ones where some very wealthy people/corporations will lose incredibly large amounts of money. For someone in politics you ought to know better.",
"Frank Herbert was a seriously cool dude",
"and your penis is surely EXCEPTIONALLY girthy",
"Oh how naive he was.",
"I’d say his generation and the generation that has most of our parents used it up.",
"Paring it with a dividend sent to every American incentives people and especially corporations to make less carbon intensive choices in the supply and demand economy. In many cases, ending up cash positive. See how it adds up for you \n\nhttps://energyinnovationact.org/carbon-dividend-calculator/",

">Leto II had the power to fulfil Liet's dream and reform Dune like the Fremen craved\n\nWhich he does? In GEOD Arakis is green and he lives in the only desert left on the planet.",
"The oil must flow.",
"If you’re not going to place the blame with who is actually responsible and find ways to stop them from infecting every facet of life, every elementary school, every news network, then democracy is seriously doomed. It’s not the people that are a threat to democracy lol it’s the manipulators and the dirty money in politics and media and schools.\n\nhttps://drillednews.com/podcast-2/\n\nWe have literally been flooded with propaganda in ways directly stolen from the fascist regimes of the 1930s by big oil",
"The new dune is far more virtue signaling",
"Climate change has literally destroyed entire towns and killed thousands in hot areas of the world already. Poor, island nations are begging richer nations to do something *NOW*. Poor, black Americans have a higher rate of concern about climate change than affluent whites. They just get shut out of the environmentalist organizations for various unfortunate reasons. Climate change is literally a top concern for average people everywhere",
"And how did that work out for him? And also, what did HIS grandparents specifically do to \"save the planet\" for him? Where is his gratitude for that? Oh, none because all they did was live their lives. Congrats, Frankie, your grandparents made tons of sacrifices so that Earth was still inhabitable for you. What a load of bullshit. \n\nMy grandparents did zero to do what others claim was done to me by them. Ozone layer was 100% going to kill me when I was 12. Global cooling (new ice age) was going to kill me when I was 11. \n\nAs Lennon said, follow the money.",
"People make choices based on the information they have or have not been given. This isn't new. You're dropping a line that makes sense while ignoring the context of real life.",
"ME/MA spite is a cultural thing that’s fascinated me since I moved to New England. It’s more MA vs the world to some extent but ME is very bitter for some reason.",
"That's exactly what the richest nations of the world are willing to say to our children. They are bribed by moneyed interests to ensure money (spice) continues to flow into their pockets.",
"No action will ever occur as long as we keep saying sacrifice or lower standards of living. We can solve climate change AND make energy more abundant, cheap and available for all. We can reduce agraculture impacts AND make meat products cheaper and more healthy (lab grown meat). We can make transportation faster and better AND carbon neutral. Economies need to keep growing, consumption can keep growing free from environmental impacts, it just takes investment in high energy solutions like modernized nuclear and giant mass scale wind and solar and zero carbon alternatives for products. No one should have to cut back on their lifestyle otherwise it will never happen.",
"65% in the US or the world? Maybe in the US but definitely not the world",
"I don’t think that’s really true though. There are billions and more to be made from green energy. Maybe because change is scary? It requires a large initial investment? 🤷🏼♂️",
"I'm sorry Frank, but we chose Spice production and CHOAM profits over Dr. Kyne's vision.",
"Reminds me of that single-frame comic, where a guy in a tattered suit is sitting by a campfire in a post-apocalyptic world, saying, “Yeah, the world ended, but for a brief moment, we created some *real value* for our shareholders.” 😔",
"“It won’t be so bad, the rich and powerful will survive.”",
"literally 67% of Americans think the government should be doing more to address climate change.https://www.pewresearch.org/science/2019/11/25/u-s-public-views-on-climate-and-energy/\n\n\n 2/3rds. \n\nBut for many its not a priority and they elect officials based on other issues. The candidates championing those \"other issues\" are incentivised not to take action and we find ourselves here.\n\n\"believing\" in climate change is such a low bar. Climate action needs to be a priority, and we need to vote that way",
"The people that are causing climate change know that climate is real. You just need them to be willing to make slightly less money.",
"What a self-absorbed asshole.",
"Exactly. This pandemic has exposed the disturbing, egocentric, soft, irrational underbelly of a significant percentage of the population. And it makes me fearful and sad for the future.",
"Where did I say believing that climate change is real was enough?",
"adversity spawns innovation, and humans always find a new way to do things once we lose one avenue. I would say nothing short of the world exploding could stop us. You can see ocean cleanups, carbon capture, developed countries going green of their own accords without international pressure, etc. \n\n\nOnly thing we need to do now is finish fusion energy then export that clean energy to the developing world to leapfrog them past industrialization.",
"To actually slow down climate change requires an almost complete destruction of the oil and gas industry. Taking stuff out of the ground and setting it on fire has to stop.",
"I think the point they're trying to make is that the world will continue without us around. I don't think they're saying \"hooray, humans will continue to some extent\" just that the world as a planet isn't fussed about the continued existence of humans...",
"I agree with you, but I think this is minimizing the very real effect climate change is having on peoples lives today. Climate induced migration in African and parts of South America is already a reality. Not to mention the “once a generation” storms we are having almost monthly in the United States. Climate change is effects us today, not just in 100 years.",
"Don't need to tell your grandchildren that if you never have children\n\n:taps forehead:",
"Yep. It all boils to ppl kicking and screaming about even a sliver of short term expense for the benefit of the long run.",
"I don't think he would be happy to know we are quickly turning our planet into Arrakis.",
"most recycling programs don't really do a huge amount to curb climate change. plastic recycling for instance often causes more greenhouse gases than it saves. the whole recycling thing is half like the anti litter campaign to curb waste production. it's pushing the responsibilities onto individuals instead of hitting the problem at the source. we shouldn't have campaigned against littering, we should have forced laws to ban wasteful product packaging. why are companies allowed to sell water in tiny ass bottles creating millions of tons of plastic waste and spewing millions of tons of greenhouse gases every year? there's no reason for it. if you dont' have access to clean water you're not going to be buying 500 ml bottles of water. \n\nindividual responsibility never works, because when 1 person reduces his consumption the resulting loss of demand drives the price a little lower which then means some other people will just take up that extra demand.",
"Lets not forget, it was the much maligned Ralph Nader that created the EPA, Nixon just signed Nader's bill into law.",
"Teddy Roosevelt was a progressive though not a conservative. \n\n\n\"Fundamentally it is the radical liberal with whom I sympathize. He is at least working toward the end for which I think we should all of us strive; and when he adds sanity in moderation to courage and enthusiasm for high ideals he develops into the kind of statesman whom alone I can wholeheartedly support.\"",
"Come on dude. When you have generations worth of misdirection and incorrect information being provided to the public- a responsibility of our leadership. You are going to get this issue. Education is a huge problem in lots of areas- and you saying what you did shows your complete lack of understanding any sort of life out side of your own experiences.\n\nIt’s the reason we have schools. To educate- and if they lead people astray you can’t just tell them figure it out. That’s insane.",
"The world has been ending since Al Gore made his predictions what happened?",
"Lol",
"Fremen= Talibros on spice",
"Exactly this. People are not going to be too keen on biking to work, cutting back to 6 oz of meat per week, and taking 3 minute showers if other countries (read China) just continue on as they've been doing.",
"You are infantilizing voters.",
"I’m stunned when some of the same people who laugh at the term “free” healthcare seem to also live like the planet has infinite resources and that humans don’t effect the planet.",
"RUDE DUNER!",
"Okay, great ideas... now make the global corporations and their governments follow these rules, because they're the overwhelming majority of the reason our climate has an issue. \n\n\nIt's also the very same people who want you to be talking about climate, let's be real.",
">I'm sorry there's no more world for you, we used it all up.\n\nSo just go down the store and get more world. While you're there, pick up some bread and some cigarettes",

"Think how much fuel it takes to get a plane off the ground. \n\n\nNow... look at space x and how much it costs to land the rocket.",
"Wait a minute..",
"He really wasn't prescient, it was a hot button political issue on BOTH sides of the aisle, in the late 60s and early 70s. Many politicians talked about it on all sides.\n\nThe question you SHOULD be asking, is what happened in the late 70s and then the 80s (onwards), that turned off our consciousness on environmental concerns?\n\nEnvironmentalism isn't something new to the 21st century.",
"Lol imagine if people were listening *now*!",
"This is how imagine the person to have been who gave me all these gifts. \nWhat a wonderful human!",
"\"Hey you damn Quebecois, messing up the environment is our job! and we take pride in it, unlike you!\"",
"He was wrong. It's not going to cost us. The tech is there to solve all the problems he saw. Overpopulation isn't the problem he thought it would be, as it turns out when people have birth control they don't breed uncontrollably.\n\nThe only issue is our ruling class, and whether they'll part with enough of their wealth and power so that the rest of us can fix all this. I don't expect them to do it willingly, but I would like my fellow countrymen to stop helping their \"betters\" get away with screwing us all.",
"I think the average person is ready for change it's corporations and the governments they have in their pockets that fight it.",
"Of all the seven deadly sins who would have guessed it's greed that's going to be responsible for our failure as a species.\n\nLust would have been the chad way to go out, but here we are.",
"Too late",
"100%. We don't realize a lot of recycling is basically theater. A ton of that material was being shipped to China to deal with and that plug got pulled a couple years ago. It's not actually going anywhere because no one has a cost effective way of actually doing it. \n\nIt's taken so long to normalize behavior around depositing recyclables that I don't think we should stop per se in case we actually do figure out a way to process it. \n\nBut the real solution here is probably making producers responsible for packaging and product materials end-to-end. You distribute water in plastic bottles, you're on the hook for it. That extra cost that gets rolled in is what we're just ignoring right now and literally kicking the can on.",
"Way more than 50% are on board.\n\nYou need to convince 90% of the top 1%. \n\nThe pleebs' opinion doesn't matter. Blaming their consumption would be comical if it weren't real.",
"Polluters gonna pollute when polluters can pollute for free.",
"So did I. :)",
"What we need is a leader who is not completely human to put on the golden path.",
"The most serious cost isn't going to be money, it's going to be human lives. We're going to pay it whether we want to or not.",
"Exposing it, but it was always there. \n\nThe difference is that as the population grows, the total number that aren't idiots becomes far less influential and authoritative, because that's how percentages work. 20% non-idiots out of 100 can hold a front, 20% of non-idiots out of 1,000,000 are just crushed.\n\nSo nah, it's not \"exposure\" it is a crisis of authority when rabble/peasantry are allowed to bleat opinions into the digital void and coordinate as a result. \n\n**It changes nothing for the elites so they don't give a fuck if some dildo wants to \"have an opinion about how viruses work.\"** Because behind closed doors they support the true sciences and make sure they're protected.\n\nThere isn't a single big oil executive that actually thinks it's \"good,\" and that's because when they're done raping the planet and it's on fire, they'll be fine in their ivory tower.",
"Going about it all wrong: climate change doesn't fucking matter AT ALL at a human scale, and arguing that it does really doesn't resonate with the people who's beliefs don't align OR who really don't give a shit either way because they're personally protected.\n\nThe bottomline is that humans' purpose will be to regulate the temperature of the planet (just like simple algae does now) while cyborgs / machines solve everything far better than human brains ever could. That's it. Ta dah, that's the endgame. Get the corporations with their geniuses and maybe state funding to get AI that solves this shit and \"RUN HUMANITY.BAS\"\n\nThe cybogs keep us alive so that they don't melt. And it's not because of factories or cow farts or whatever. It's because the sun itself is heating up and will eventually consume and/or make the planet basically die. Imagine thousands of years, not days.\n\nSo we're here to build cyborgs (something that can't just smoosh together in nature without humans building it) and cyborgs will solve the problem of harnessing the sun's energy to get the fuck away from it before all of earth is consumed.\n\nAaaaaaaaaaaaaand for all we know that shit is already happening and we're still getting the \"maybe one day\" crowd control.\n\nThat's our reality. The entire planet could go through a \"climate crisis\" and all it would do is cull the population and get rid of the dorks who weren't rich enough to protect themselves. If you don't think the next steps for billionaires isn't to watch the earth wither away from a satellite kingdom, while controlling automation on the surface, shrug.\n\nNobody wants to face it, but climate change \"politics\" are all about suppressing people at the bottom while enriching those at the top. And they don't give a flying fuck about the planet's health, because their worst case scenario is culling consumers. Oh, how awful that would be for them.",
"yea precisely. nobody is gonna buy 500 ml bottles of water if the cost of that plastic waste is added onto it so the bottle now costs like 10 bucks or something. i mean literally the bottled water industry isn't really selling water, they sell bottles. the cost of the water they sell is negligible.",
"Perhaps what we need is a leader capable of understanding all possible outcomes of their actions.",
"You're operating under the delusion that the lumpenproletariat \"thinking things\" is what affects change and not a very select few making policy that forces them to do things.\n\nThe entire statement you're making is WHAT THEY'RE SAYING, that the 10% of the electorate is 99.99999% of the funding and power.\n\nCase in point, I'd say that near 100% of the people in the country know that if the Earth gets swallowed by the sun that'd be bad for humanity. Yet they don't seem too concerned with actually funding the generalized effort to prevent humanity's end by countering it. \n\nThe entire system is set up so that the entities that get the most $$$$ are the ones who fund and pick and choose initiatives, not the millions of people feeding them resources out of necessity... so hey, wow, seems like everything is working as intended.",

"Only half the story. It's worth looking into greenwashing of hydro power. It's among the worst of the \"renewable\" sources (which is a stretch of the term renewable, as dams have limited lifespans due to sedimentation and structural degradation) in terms of GHG emissions. Some estimates put it at 40-50% of the GHG emission per unit of energy compared to fossil fuel power sources. Comparably, wind and solar are 4-6% of the GHG emissions per unit of energy.\n\nThats all not to mention potential land rights issues that are still ongoing. Turns out many hydro projects in the US and Canada have a nasty history of displacing indigenous populations with zero to little restitution.\n\nEven without looking at GHG emissions, it's also ecologically devastating to create and maintain reservoirs.\n\nI'm split on the issue as I recognize that hydro is a relatively efficient power source and is definitely MORE green than burning coal... But it's still not great, and I'd prefer to see large scale investments going elsewhere than building more destructive dams in inadvisable locations. Lets at least be selective about dam location to maximize efficiency and minimize ecological damage.",

"Except its not carbon free. When you build a reservoir in the wrong place (as they often are, and which Hydro Quebec is guilty of), you flood and kill thousands to millions of acres of vegetation. Decomposing organic material releases tons of CO2, and worse, Methane. Methane as a GHG is 28-30 times worse as a GHG than CO2.\n\nWe are in a position to spit on greenwashing of crappy hydro projects that are ecologically devastating and no better or worse than proven viable alternatives.\n\nEDIT: to address your first point, yeah. I'd rather see a fraction of the money spent to tear down Hydro Quebec's shitty dams and put the rest of it towards renewable sources.",
"Look at my post history and tell me I'm a paid shill LMAO. Unlike you, I consider the benefits and drawbacks of every technology and don't live in a fantasy land where nuclear and hydro are somehow the spurned promised children, can do no wrong, and are somehow as virgin and pure as Eve before the apple.\n\nYes there are issues with lithium sourcing and I'm excited to see how energy storage progresses in the future. Lots of interesting alternatives cropping up that I'd love to see money flowing towards rather than monied interests trying to embezzle shitty nuclear/hydro plant funding into their own pockets for projects that go decades and billions over-budget. Pretending that they don't both have a massive lobbying funding behind them as well is intellectually bankrupt.\n\nLike I said, hydro has it's place in a future energy landscape but you need to pick and choose to selectively optimize it's potential, or it ends up the same or worse than its fossil fuel predecessors for GHG emissions and ecological damage.\n\nI know the reddit bro-science hivemind loves to dote on Nuclear in particular, but again, major drawbacks including time/cost to build, plant lifespan, fuel supply and storage cost for waste. Thorium breeder reactors are an interesting idea and something that I'd love to see explored more, though.\n\nThere are issues with everything. The goal is to find the least-worst options for each unique environment to build a network of most efficient power sources across the country/planet. Well-planned hydro in the PNW; solar in the southwest and residential rooftops; wind and tidal offshore; nuclear as baseline generation for urban centres; hell even residential geothermal to maintain homes at 55 F. \n\nThere's no one-size fits all miracle tech. Time to leave behind this 60's mentality of centralized generation.",
"Put solar on residential rooftops then.\n\nPeople are obsessed with centralized power generation when in reality it should only exist in the form of nuclear plants providing a baseline for urban centres when distributed wind/solar/tidal/geothermal cant support requirements.",
"You wont generate enough power consistantly enough",
"I get what your saying though, but even decentralized nuclear is going to be the main source I'm saying across the board renewables are just not efficient enough yet, and thry take up sooooo much space that it affexts the ecosystems they are in in a very large way (no pun intended).",
"The irony of you posting this when Hydro Quebec has been greenwashing for literally decades is just too damn good.",
"Oof wasn’t aware, lemme go educate myself bbl",
"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1364032118303307\n\n100% renewables would be more reliable and cheaper than the current system. The above referenced review throws out nuclear power entirely, but with that providing baseline for urban centers, it would possibly be more reliable still.",
"Yes when the technology gets there they will be but at this moment in time the tech is just not there https://youtu.be/N-yALPEpV4w",
"That's a good point and will no doubt help, but the product scarcity will exist nonetheless, so while the tax redistribution will somewhat provide an offset cost to people, it's still going to end up that people decrease their usage of carbon emissions-related products. Because if it doesn't do this, then your not reducing carbon emissions!\n\n>You could make the same exact argument on a global scale. Why use the government to make massive changes to our society that will likely disadvantage us in the global economy when there's no guarantee that anyone else will join us?\n\nYes, I can and I do make that argument. There is however a fairly robust and ongoing global effort to focus on this so the framework is there. Right now the U.S. is actually lagging behind colleagues in keeping up with efforts so passing more laws here now actually would bring us more in line with other industrialized nations. \n\nBut at the end of the day this is about making certain products less available to people. It has to be. And while I'm not opposed to sugarcoating that with subsidies and tax redistributions, I'm not one to sugarcoat the description of the situation and what it requires.",
"Things have definitely changed, you're just not noticing them or live somewhere that's not overly vulnerable to climate change.",
"Oh for sure, I meant I've heard we urgently need to curb our fossil fuels to act on climate change before it is too late but year over year we consume more and more. The planet is heating up, that much is obvious, but I've come to the conclusion that we'll keep our foot on the accelerator until we hit the wall. The best we can do is prepare and help each other through what's to come.",

"Plenty of resources, the earth is massive. No shortage of metals or \"rare\" earths. Sure we aren't producing anywhere near enough today, but anyone that believes the nonsense that there aren't enough of any of the materials needed on our planet has no idea what they are talking about.\n\nIt is simply a matter of scaling up production. Costs would certainly go up for some things, however, as there are limited locations where it is cheap to mine specific metals. But again, the total amount of metals on Earth, even the so called \"rare\" ones, is 1000s of times more than what is needed to move to renewable energy.\n\nGo back in time 100 years ago and tell people the plan is to build our modern road system and all of the automobiles to make use of it and people like you would say \"impossible\", but obviously it isn't. Just a matter of making the decision to do it and making it happen. Pretty amazing what humanity can accomplish when the will to do it exists. Renewable energy can't happen in a decade, but on a 20 to 40 years timeframe? Not a problem.",
"It can't, no, because the problem is that we not only have to replace what we're using now, but also the increased demand we are seeing rise exponentially.\n\nIt will take a hundred years to roll out fully renewable energy and honestly that will be just fine for the environment, despite what the environmentalists have to say.",
"People who live in wealthy countries will probably be fine, but a lot of island nations will disappear over the next 200 years. In any case, idiots who make claims about 'the scientists are wrong' forget that the scientists could be wrong on the good side and things could actually be far worse than their projections.\n\nThe truth is that we don't know what we don't know. Fucking around with the environment could lead to catastrophic collapse of the ecosystem that we rely on to survive. I've no idea if it will or not, but personally I'd rather not fuck around and find out. Although I'm pretty confident that things will be fine in my remaining lifetime, which is exactly how many civilizations in the past have collapsed. People making selfish decisions to optimize their own living conditions without understanding or caring about what the future will bring to future generations.\n\nAnyway it is a basic psychological problem, humans naturally discount information that requires them to pay a cost, either emotionally or from a resource perspective. That is what you are doing.\n\nAbsolute nonsense about \"100s of years\" as well. There isn't a single power plant from 1921 still in operation and not a single power plant in operation today will still be running in 2121. Pretty much all of this stuff only lasts around 30 to 50 years before it has to be either completely replaced (build new power plants) or completely replaced one part at a time. Realistically a 30 to 50 year timeframe is more than enough to change everything about how our power is produced. Trying to deny that is completely ignoring history.",

"That is absurd footage, wow",
"I know right!!! That's very scary to see. Luckily everybody made it out safely!",
"did they? It looks like the pilot jumped as well later in the video.",
"All made it safely and the aircraft landed back on the ground, 15 jumpers plus the pilot. Apparently another jumper jumped out while the aircraft went into a spin.",
"Practically floating on the flaps. Looks like the airlift on the left wing gave out as the body weight shifted heavily to that side.",
"Noway!! Crazy as Hell.! 😁",
"Is that someone else jumping out at 1:42?",
"I've heard jump plane pilots will do a slight left slip to help block the wind for the jumpers, and it also helps to prevent a tail strike. This also could've contributed to the stall.",
"Pretty fucking lucky the plane didn't collide with anyone and props go to the pilot if they recovered from the stall.",
"Yep. Many pilots will do [this dive](https://youtu.be/KX8Z9vvYVQ0?t=32) after they all jump for his own little thrill (legality of this move questionable) and this move almost cost his payload dearly.",
"That was on purpose",
"You’re saying he went into a stall intentionally? Or at least some pilots do?",
"Pilots will sometimes do a [stunt nosedive](https://youtu.be/KX8Z9vvYVQ0?t=32) after all skydivers have jumped, [2nd example](https://youtu.be/Q6coT56OttQ?t=86), [third example](https://youtu.be/rKilXY2gVn4?t=88). The point isn't to stall their engine, just a risk they run. Just like doing a wheelie on a freeway with a motorcycle, the point isn't to crash or overturn your motorcycle, but it comes with the territory.",
"And how is the legality of that questionable?",
"Depends how you throw it in front of a judge after he says \"your reckless endangerment (law broken) resulted in loss of life hitting skydivers that just left your aircraft\"",
"Not exactly. This is a typical stunt after divers leave the aircraft, just gone wrong.\n\nhttps://youtu.be/KX8Z9vvYVQ0?t=32",
"Oh, so not illegal at all. What you’re saying is it would have been illegal if something actually illegal happened. \n\nKilling someone due to negligence is illegal. Performing a dangerous but legal maneuver in your plane is legal. \n\nThe real answer is you’re dumb. Got it.",
">Apparently another jumper jumped out while the aircraft went into a spin.\n\nSo that's what that was? I don't think his pants were clean after that.",
"The pilot wouldn't need to jump out, they can recover as long as they're not in a flat spin and they have enough height. Surely another skydiver.",
"Ah OK that makes more sense. I thought it was odd to stall in that position and also to keep going back into wobbles after stablising.",
"I don't think it's illegal to dive a plane. They do it in training all the time.",
"Uhhh, I dont think so. At least maybe bringing the aircraft near to a stall would have been on purpose so everyone could jump at a low airspeed. But stalling, flipping the aicraft and then nearly killing a bunch of people is not usually part of the plan.",

"Yeh completely out of control. Not sure why the plane behaved so erratically after the stall, I'd guess its airspeed was still far too low and the pilot was fighting it and in a state of panic. Also looked like it was about to come back under the jumpers - which could have gone horribly, but the pilot pointed the nose down to both avoid them and recover from the stall (thats the best thing to do in the case of a stall anyway to recover airspeed)\n\nSomeone else jumps out as its in a nosedive though, they must have exited at quite a speed. Very lucky for everyone involved, that much chaos with an aircraft and altitude involved is a bad time.",
"No, it was accidental. They bring the left engine to idle to reduce the forces on skydivers as they exit and because so many of them were gathered in the far rear of the aircraft it shifted the center of gravity beyond the aircraft's safe limit causing it to stall and snap into a spin.",
"Not just left slip, in this case they bring the left engine to idle during the jump. That plus the large group all gathered at once shifted the CG too far aft.\n\nReportedly they are adjusting their operating limits to restrict the number of people at the door at one time.",
"I'm not an aviation lawyer, but I assume like driving a vehicle that certain airspaces have air-traffic laws.\n\nYou can guess that a certain airspace with higher traffic have more strict laws.",
"This was not on purpose.",
"First guy is an idiot but the second two are pretty benign. If you roll into a steep turn and let the nose drop the plane will descend as fast as it can under 1 G and its no more hard on the airframe than a regular turn.",
"You can see that the pilot applied right aileron to bring up the left wing, which of course just deepens the stall. Very hard to avoid doing this. I think I'm seeing right rudder after one rotation, definitely after two rotations, and the spin stops. Fortunately no collision with the jumpers.",
"The stall turned into a spin which is the erratic behavior you are referring to. I saw a write-up from the pilot elsewhere on the internet. Their procedure was to pull the left engine to idle and reduce the propellor to the minimum speed. They also extended flaps and flew at a very low airspeed. Normally this all works just fine but in this instance they had too many people hanging off the back which brought the center-of-gravity too far rearward. The pilot said he knew he was in trouble when the control yoke hit the stop and the nose kept rising. With both engines at the same power setting this would probably have been a normal stall but the adverse yaw created by the differential trust resulted in the spin. \n\nMore technically I guess it would be a Vmc roll. If you’re taking off or landing with one engine dead and you Vmc roll it usually ends very poorly. Like so: https://youtu.be/Urr-AxPUc3c Luckily for this guy he was at 16,000 ft and had plenty of altitude to recover.",
"It was another skydiver. There were still a couple inside the cabin when the stall and spin occurred. She was ejected from the aircraft and landed safely.",
"This was not intentional. There were still skydivers in the cabin. You can see one get ejected just before the airplane recovers and the camera loses sight of it.",
"Correct.",
"A stall doesn't make the plane make a sudden GIGANTIC left downward aileron roll lmfao come on man. That's like cruising at 40mph and letting the foot off the gas and saying that is what caused the sudden turn off the bridge and into the water. Even if a stall could cause that (which it can't) look at the propellers. Watch [the videos](https://old.reddit.com/r/videos/comments/qnd9sn/skydive_aircraft_stalls_while_skydivers_prepare/hjht0hp/) of all skydiving pilots doing this aileron roll dive after divers their people exit the aircraft and use your brain. The stall after his stunt of course was not on purpose. It would be like doing a wheelie and crashing and saying \"omg his crash was totally not on purpose, COME ON GUYS\", ya no shit, but the wheelie which CAUSED the crash was on purpose.",
"Its not an aileron roll its a stall/spin. I think you're confusing an aerodynamic stall with and engine stalling.\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8D6-fJdGTac&t=167s&ab_channel=blancolirio",
"Crazy stuff. On a sidenote, how hard is it to be able to control your own flight like these guys do when skydiving?",
"Did you watch the video? That was a pretty gnarly stall (that being said, I've never stalled a king air before).",
"Looks like they entered the start of a flat spin. They're obviously dangerous but quite recoverable from that altitude.",
"Oh 100% recoverable (and the pilot did) there was just some weird oscillations going on there, it may have just been the camera angle, but if it had a G1000 in it I'd love to have a ganda at the attitude data.",
"I thought jumping through clouds wasnt allowed?",
"The flaps were fully out, and because of the CG shift most of the load was on the left wing. Combined with several skydivers/open door disturbing the airflow over the wing. When it stalled, most of the lift was lost, but only on 1 side of the aircraft, causing the spin.",
"Last time this was posted someone stated that the pilot did this on purpose",
"Everything you said is true, but last time this was posted someone claiming to be there said that the pilots do this. There are others ITT that are posting other similar vids",
"The...pilot?\n\nI would like to see the NTSB report after that.\n\n*Multi engine plane stalls, pilot decides to bail out instead of recover from the stall, the plane plummeting into the local geriatric clinic. Pilot's ok though! 👍👍👍👍👍*",
"I'd love to have a cockpit video of the pilot's response inputs. He definitely entered at least one secondary stall, my guess is from either trying to pull out too soon/aggressively, or he didn't chop power and p-factored himself into another.",
"Not to mention I bet all those folks on the outside reduced the elevator authority of the tail. I'd be curious to know what the pilot did during the recovery because the initial stall/spin was the left wing stalled, but then the right wing stalled twice afterwards during the recovery. I'm wondering if he had the right engine at like, 40% power and when it stalled he firewalled the left?",
"Maybe you're both correct? \n\n^(*When I said that, I was preserving the possibility of a threesome with these bitches.*)",
"lmao why would the pilot abandon the perfectly fine plane?\n\nits just stalling lmao",
"Holy shit, why have you taken this conversation so personally?",
"Way to necro the thread. No one cares.",
"This isn't some 2006 forum where posting to a thread bumps it to the top again. Necroing isn't a thing on reddit.\n\nI just wanted to point out that you absolutely lost your shit on someone simply because you didn't think they were 100% correct with their information, which seemed super bizarre to me.",
"And yet still no one cares.",
"It's not about whether anyone cares. That's such a brain-dead response.\n\nYou reacted in a really strange way to this conversation; I'm just pointing that and it seems like you have probably realised you overreacted but are too stubborn to admit that, so you'd rather just lash out at me.",
"No one is reading your comments because no one cares. I’m blocking you now because you’re boring.",
"I'm not asking anyone else to read my comments. I'm pointing out, directly to you, that you reacted in a bizarre way. My hope is that you'll reflect on that and go forward in life reacting a little bit less harshly to people who you disagree with.\n\nI'm treating you with nothing but kindness, so I don't know why you're also treating me like shit."

"Ldiot.",

"Except it doesn't because bad research gets called out, and the more important the research the more scrutinized it will be.\n\nWhat you are doing is like hearing that some kid cheated on their exams and got caught... then you start tarring every other person who took exams without any evidence that any of them cheated.",
">Except it doesn't because bad research gets called out, and the more important the research the more scrutinized it will be.\n\nThat's... Optimistic. Academia has major problems, and it's getting worse with the amount of research that is being published increasing pretty much exponentially over time. There's a huge publication bias, rectifications are never read as much as the original paper, peer review routinely fails to weed out bad science, and not to mention [the majority of published research papers can not be replicated](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1182327/).\n\nIdk if the person you're replying to meant something else but the way we approach research (at least, publication of reaearch) should be thoroughly questioned.",
"I am normally against insisting individuals are responsible for the actions of the worst of their group, but I think researchers need to start aggressively cleaning up their fields (props to this guy).\n\n\"Research Scientist\" carries inherent social credibility. If they want to maintain that credibility, stuff like this needs to be stopped. We are already at the point where some social policy debates are not *ideologues vs published science*, but *published science vs published science*.\n\nLaypeople will never apply methodological filters to sift through what is real science and what is junk science. If *peer-reviewed and published* becomes meaningless, then research scientists will lose any intrinsic authority they have and become just another opinion.\n\nI've been a science geek all my life. If a paper was peer-reviewed and published, my assumption was it was a hyper-professional, rigorous analysis of available data. If the conclusion disagreed with one of my assumptions about the world, my assumption became questionable and had the burden of proof to remain in my head.\n\nIt is incredibly depressing that when I see a published conclusion that disagrees with my assumptions now, I have to research journal credibility and start diving into the data as a layperson to see if any of it looks fishy. I am not qualified to evaluate scientific methodology! Sometimes it all *feels* legit, and I start critically thinking about my previously held view. When a paper *feels* shady and I discount it, am I any better than the ideologue who doesn't care about science as an authority at all?\n\nIt has been quite a while since the reproducibility scandal hit. Is formal research science trending more credible or less since then?",
"I think sites like PubPeer are a step in the right direction, but it's scary to me that I've read published papers where even with my Bachelor's, I can see, plainly, that the researchers were being dishonest, deliberately testing \"incorrect\" metrics to avoid a result they didn't want, making broad conclusions from limited data, or making mistakes that they warn you to watch for in freshman classes. It's crazy to me that there is so much \"bad\" research, especially in low quality journals. But what's really scary is when you see a paper that you think \"No one could buy this.\" and then you see it's been cited many times. I feel like a LOT more researchers should have papers retracted, and the process should be a lot more punitive towards fraud -- and even towards editors and pay for publish journals. I'm just a goober in nowheresville, so I really don't know the best way to structure reforms that avoids perverse incentives or disincentivizes discovery. But it's really telling that a goober from nowheresville can run into enough egregious violations that he sees the need FOR reform."

"Big shaving is gonna put a hit out on this guy.",
"I just push the razor against the palm of my hand a few times to clean it before and after use. Pretty much the same thing.",
"Oh man, I like his stapler shout out. Regular Milton.",
"Combine this with dipping/storing the blade in alcohol will prevent rust from forming asl well",
"what an A+ how to video. right the point and quite informative",
"Ive been doing this for years. I use my forearm when i feel it getting dull. I usually use one razor every 3 or 5 months. At that point the little glide strip is gone, and the razor doesnt seem to sharpen as well. Starts to hurt a little when shaving. It's not bad when I only spend 10 bucks a year on razors.",
"I'll add this to my \"things to do later but most likely wont\" list. Cool tips though!",
"I thought the joke was going to be that it just pulled the dye from the jeans and turned the strip back blue.",
"I mean, if he's saying they last him 3 months with this, at $5 a blade that's $20/year which is hardly unreasonable. And that's with him shaving his head, which means the average person would need even less.",
"Or switch to double edge, buy 1,000 pack for the cost of 10 of these blades, and be set for years.",
"I bought a 100 pack 2 years ago for like $5 lol. Still working through them. I can get 4 shaves per blade, 5 is doable but pushing it, store them in alcohol when not in use. Only shave 2 times per week. During covid WFH it's been like once a month lol.",
"Life hacks FTW!",
"Wouldn't storing it in water do the same thing?",
"I don’t believe so, also the alcohol inhibits bacterial growth on the blade as well.",
"It works, but I skip the wooden part, wear the same jeans I'm wearing while shaving and rubbing against my leg. It works perfectly.",
"storing in alcohol will like as not only increase the rate of rusting. just rinse and dry well after use, and store in a dry place -- like, literally in a hall closet instead of your humid bathroom, if you're willing to put up with that hassle.",
"> What works in the video is that the dude is using a strip of denim to dry the razor.\n\nBut he said he does this BEFORE shaving. Wouldn't you want to do this right AFTER shaving to dry it? Otherwise it just naturally dries on it's own no?",
"I have sensitive skin, so I've settled for the permastubble version of this: bought a set of oster hair clippers and trim with the 000 guard (00000 gives a much closer shave, but bites into my neck).",
"I e switched to safety razors which are dirt cheap and generally shave better, but before my switch I used this trick and it truly does work.",
"*extra* dry",
"if you shave inside the shower, the whiskers practically fall off and a disposable razor lasts over a year. invest in a good mirror that doesn't fog up.",
"And that’s how you tell when someone has no clue what they’re talking about",
"Like I said in my reply to them -- well caught. I assumed it was your standard \"do this after shaving,\" and mea culpa. Regardless, my advice is still correct -- which you appear to have spent even less time evaluating than I initially spent watching the video -- and the idea of doing it before shaving is just kinda weird.",
"cheaper/easier version: When I shave, I run the blade backward along my arm hair or leg hair after each stroke. I've been using the same disposable razor for \\~4 years or so.",
"Shout out to his shitty stapling job too.",
"Same! For a while I was trying to preserve them and was re-using blades, but since I have so many I just use them single use.",
"Water weakens the hair by as much as a third.\nhttps://www.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/16hjzv/til_facial_hair_is_as_strong_as_copper_wire_of/",
"This is the way. I bought a stainless steel razor that should last several lifetimes and get hundred packs of blades for like 8 bucks lol. Done with Gillette.",
"So he's effectively stropping the blade, right?\n\n[From this post](https://www.reddit.com/r/asksciencefair/comments/mllvg/qualitative_analysis_of_the_edge_characteristics/) there wasn't much of a burr, the blade just sort of... chipped away and the tip radius grew a bit. Maybe it's smoothing out the texture from 'grain pull-out' on the side of the bevel, more than removing a burr.",
"Have you tried a safety razor though? My skin is also very sensitive and i get razor burn just looking at a razor, but i bought a safety razor because I heard it can help and I do still get a bit of irritation, but only barely. Especially if I take some time and only go with the grain carefully. Pre-shave creams can also help (so does actual shaving soap and not the stuff from the can)",
"Good Lord, it must take you an hour to finish shaving.",
"Yep, I buy the shitty cheap ones that come in a big ol' pack. Why you'd pay like $10 per razor is beyond me.",
"Same, I bought a buzzer and shave with the 1/16 guard. Been doing it for 13 years now.",
"I'll second this. I bought a safety razor (did a deep dive into the wetshaving community) and it's helped immensely to the point where I don't get irritation at all. Just some pre-shave oil, decent soap, and DE razor and I'm good to go.",
"You don't have to do it slowly.. it also works to brush the excess hairs off the blades so they cut better each stroke.",
"Wow we have a snooty stapler here",
"Me too! Lol",
"I've switched to using a manscaped trimmer with no guard, gives me a pretty much zero stubble shave. And they're meant to be safe to use on your balls, so I don't feel like I'm going to cut my jugular when I use it.\n\nI leave the guard on for my balls tho.",
"thats canadians for ya there hey bud",
"This is a jailhouse trick.",
"This guy uses those cartridge blades for a month? Wow. The thought of using one of those cartridge blades even more than once gives my face shivers. Switched to a safety razor at less than $0.10 a pop, and never looked back. It's soooo much better. Sure, some stropping of anything could always help somewhat - cartridge on jeans, safety blade on leather - but nothing is better than brand new sharpened.",
"The blades for a safety razor are much cheaper, sure. But the expense comes with the other things you have to buy. Boar hair brush, expensive shaving soap, flannel shirts, suspenders, indie records, craft beer, etc.",
"I run it “backwards” on my thigh. Use the same blade for 4-5 months.",
"\"Razor companies HATE him\"",
"I have sensitive skin as well, but I work in the oil field so I was a daily shaver for about a decade. I made the switch to safety razor and good shave cream you whip up yourself after about a year of pain. Never had a bump after I switched. It does take a minute or 2 longer but it kinda turned into a little relaxing routine for me, so I didn't mind.\n\nA bunch of guys swear by the philips one blade as well, but i have no personal experience with it.",
"Reminds me of the youtube of old, site was full of these kinds of videos before children and clickbait \"ruined it\". Ruined it isn't really the right word but it's kind of oversaturated and the search and filtering situation is absolute garbage",
"Yup. With a 5 blade razor, each pass is 5 sharp peices of metal scraping against your face.",
"The trick I learned from Clark Howard was just use the inside of your forearm if it’s bare. It’s the same effect as a razor strop, just human leather instead of cow leather. Probably triple the life of the blades like this guy says.",
"my wife dropped my razor once and the head came off and she put the head on backwards. Next day i just decided to sharpen against my forearm, it didnt cut me at all. otherwise i would have committed suicide :p",
"At least you had a well shaved arm. To be fair, I do it at the end of my shave not the beginning.",
"> expensive shaving soap\n\nWhy would that be more expensive than whatever soap you use with the cartridge razor?",
"I switched to old-school straight edge. From sensitive and itchy skin using these shitty one month assholes to pretty much shaving without having to put lotion on. I love it. Heard people had good experiences with quality safety razors.",
"i didnt notice because the underside of my forearm is hairless, so i kept shaving and shaving it quite fast.",
"I got myself used kamisori (japanese straight edge razors) and couldn't be happier. Requires some learning and sharpening couple of times a year but I have never had a more comfortable shave. So much so I never had irritated skin now, just wash my face and off I go. No lotion needed.",
"I truly hoped the Jean material was gonna change the strip back green and that was all.",
"Straight edge razors are. :) Although they can be intimidating at first it's even more comfortable of a shave. I have to sharpen mine couple of times a year and am good.",
"Because it turns you into a hipster..",
"A good trick with a razor is to have a wet cloth and rub the razor like how guy does to clean out the hair. It's the hair that's trapped in it the razor that irritates your face.",
"You can just use the canned shaving cream you already have. You don’t *need* the other stuff.",
"Also helps to keep your blades in oil. Oxidation will cause your blades to dull fast. \n\nAfter using make sure to dry the blade and you can leave it in a Tupperware with some mineral oil or vitamin e oil. \n\nI’ve been using the same blade for roughly 6 months now by keeping it clean and rust free, plus sharpening like the video shows.",
"Not gonna lie, had me in the first half.\n\nThat being said, I have taken to shaving after scrubbing my face in the shower without drying off. Using a DE safety, I haven't used shaving lubricant other than water in 15 years.",
"I’ve got the Phillips one blade, it sucks. Refills are expensive, shave isn’t even that close",
"https://maggardrazors.com/products/maggard-razors-basic-traditional-wet-shaving-starter-kit \n\nBoom, done",

"Buy a quality electric dry shaver, it'll change all your lives.",
"Don't forget bandages.",
"If you're happy with your setup--great. Someone else mentioned safety razors. I recommend getting a sample pack. Amazon has them for $5 and up. Find a brand you like and go with those.",
"They're making a *hipster* joke.",
"I use bar shaving soap I've gone through maybe 200 blades for my razor and feel like I've barely made a dent in the soap",
"I can never get as close of a shave with those though.",
"This man is from Eastern Canada",
"My experience has been that blades last plenty long. I shave most every weekday. I use Mach 3s, shaving soap and a brush. I have a stand for the razor and brush so they can dry. I get about 25 shaves out of a blade before it's toast. A five pack of cartridges will last me about six months. I get it that I might be able to extend that period even further, but razor blades are not exactly a large item on my budget.",
"I can't get more than a few shaves out of a razor, no idea how he gets 1-3 months. They start pulling the hell out of my hair.",
"I've got a Panasonic Arc 5, and every once in a while I'll get a straight razor shave at my local barber shop when I go in to get my neck cleaned up or a beard trim. The difference, at least for me, is negligible when it comes to closeness.",
"In my experience, when I shave normally, I’m good for at least a day.\n\nIf I shave with an electric razor, I start getting noticeable 5 o’clock shadow by the afternoon",
"One thing that I have noticed as a man with strong hair genes is: Most disposable razors don’t have an opening in the back of the blade for the hair to flow through. The closed cavity behind the blade will clog up after a few shaves and then stop cutting well. If you use disposables, always look for ones where you can see both sides of the blade and a quick water rinse clears the blades out. I think this is intentional as many razor packs now trap the razors in place facing blades out so that you cannot see the other side of any of the pack.",
"You can do the same thing with your arm hair. Run the blade down your arm and it will give a bit of life back.",
"You can use a leather belt for sharpening too. That is super old school.",
"After my first shave of the week, I don't really get 5 o'clock shadow till around Thursday, so if he's like me he's probably fine with the electric.",
"Somewhere in between. Need to shave every two to three days depending on if I'm feeling lazy.",
"You can do the same thing with your hand towel. I do it after each shave.",
"same, was hoping this would be the top comment",
"It also triples the time it takes me to shave. I can run a Gilette up down north west and sideways without any issues. I tried the safety razors for a few months. It’s not worth the added headache. I just got the Gillette Fusion. I’ve been using the Mach 3 Turbo for years, which is the superior razor at the cost level. But I think they discontinued it. I shave a few times a week and I’m going on 6 weeks with the first blade, but it’s nearing its end point. I’ll happily pay the extra… I don’t know… $10 a year to quick shave and not treat my face like a priceless artifact. I’m not in the bathroom jerking myself off like “god I just love shaving and all of this me time, let’s make it last forever, this is what it feels like to be a man.” Safety razors got replaced for a reason. You can have my boar hair brush and my stupid soap cup free of charge. They make a superior shave cream, it’s called Barbasol Extra Moisturizing with Vitamin E. It’s like $1 a can and lasts for months. The fuck out of here with $10 shave soap. \n \nThis was not directed at you, just a rant that needed to be ranted.",
"I am feeling called out here.",
"Exact same.",
"mineral oil",
"Can I really have your brush and soap?",
"Keep your blades in some type of oil after each use, like mineral oil this prevents oxidation because oxygen cant touch the metal i.e. no rust. Blades last longer.",
"I love mine, it's plenty close to go into the office but the wife prefers a quick blade shave touchup if I'm going to be having some desert in bed. \n\nI got three blades with the original kit and I'm almost a year in and still on the first blade. \n\nThe benefit I find is that it's really fast, completely dry I can get my whole face and neck done in about 3-4 minutes. Next to zero irritation like I had with a standard electric razor.\n\nProbably not for everyone but it's great for me.",
"I don’t think I have any soap, but you can have the brush and the stupid cup. Maybe I do have some soap, its in a box someplace. PM me your address. I’m keeping the blades and the stupid razor… with the supply chain the way it is. But the rest is yours.",
"I bought a single blade straight razor a while ago. I then bought 100 double sided blades for 10 dollars on amazon.\n\nIts been a year, I still have more than half of the blades.\n\nIf I really wanted to push the life of the blades, I would run the blade along a piece of leather, the same way this guy does with the jeans, but still, you cant beat 100 blades for 10 bucks CAD.\n\nHighly recommend.",

"Another way to extend the life of your razor blades is to dry them out after use. Just a few minutes with a blow-drier does the trick.",
"I shave with a back and forth to motion, been using the same blade for more than a year.",
"Wait, can someone explain to me what’s happening? I see him sliding the blade backwards. What does that do to the blades?",
"i dunno man, i kept rubbing my face with my forearm for like 20 min, and the beard is still there...",
"Amen. \nAfter reading how awesome they supposedly are, I tried them out and the end result is either a stubble or a bleeding face. \nI tried all kinds of angles, pressure and blades but it just doesn't work for me yet DE aficionados will insist it's my technique or will recommend me some $100+ razor that will 100% solve my problem.",
"I'm not the OP, but yes. I rarely shave anymore, because no matter what I use or what prep I do or how I shave, I get irritation and ingrown hairs. I never used to, but now I just use a pair of clippers on the lowest setting every few days.",
"And there's a learning curve with the safety razor. I prefer an electric shaver, much simpler",
"Yesssss, let the hate flow through you. It’s a shit technology, hence why it’s been improved upon and replaced.",
"Yeah, I'll just keep buying the cheap chinese made mach3 blades because fuck Gillette ...",
"The blades get tiny nicks and bends in them as they cut your hair. By pushing it the other direction, it's lightly straightening those.",
"Idk, maybe it is that i have a full beard and only shave my neck. But I spent $10 on a kit on amazon. Came with a razor, 10 blades, cup, soap, brush. I then bought another $6 100 pack of blades. Soap, razor and blades have lasted me going on 5 years now, and I have never cut myself once. I shave like once a week, and use each side twice before replacing. If you use a blade too long you have to do a second shave to get that close shave feel.\n\nIt probably stemmed from me using my mach 3 blades too long past their usable life, while always using a sharp brand new DE blade. But when the blade costs 3 cents, its a no brainer to swap it compared to when they are $3.\n\nAgain, i only shave my neck, so shaving is quick either way. Maybe i would change my tune if I shaved my whole face, and did it more often than once a week.",
"The trick is to not shave",
"I do almost the same thing but with a Gilette blade that I change once a year or so. Showering first is the most important part of the shave. Without it I'll get burnt even with a fresh blade.",
"I shave my head so use both. Using the de blades to shave my head first then follow up with the cartridge razor to get a good finish because otherwise it takes forever or I fuck it up at some point.",
"Yes! None of that several minute long \"Hi guys! Today I will be showing you blah blah blah\" like bro we know, we saw the title that's why we're here!",
"Ok but how does it work? I don't understand any of this. Why is everyone cutting up their arms and legs to sharpen their blades? WTF is going on? I'm too tired for this shit just tell me how it works fuck.",
"What the hell. I was expecting a short video not a fucking ph.d thesis. Good God. From 9 years ago too? Good job on pulling it up though. But Jesus Christ. I was not expecting that.",
"In [this comment](https://www.reddit.com/r/asksciencefair/comments/mllvg/qualitative_analysis_of_the_edge_characteristics/c327sf6/) he summarizes himself with four points: they get chipped on the cutting edge, they get pits on the side, they don't get hurt by water/rust, and the cutting edge doesn't get as rounded/blunt as we suspected.",
"This guy shaves",
"use a leather strop",
"Blades are made with at least 10.5% chromium, so they're already highly resistant to oxidation. \n\nThe oil may actually be causing things that would normally stick to the blade to float away, keeping it un-fouled rather than un-rusted.",
"This is a good note. I had to look it up. \n\nI guess my logic was flawed but still works. Whatever’s happening I can use the same blade(s) for quite some time.",
"He speaks the True True. This is The Way. Etc, etc.",
"Finally some good science. I'm sitting here like, everyone has these weird anecdotal stories about sharpening razors but this should be something that's completely measurable.\n\nEdit: I don't have time to watch the whole thing, but I found this video that seems to show the effect of stropping. He's talking about blades that actually corrode though, so it has even more importance, it seems, to perform stropping\nhttps://youtu.be/_U7K-6gOQKs?t=168",
"That's why I love DE shaving. I get 15 minutes to myself in the bathroom. Irs glorious when you have kids.",
"This is the way. I just take a hot shower and shave in the water. It gives such a close shave and it is extremely smooth, plus the shower water gets rid of all of the trimmed hairs easily.",
"hahahaha, it was the staplers fault, it must have been!",
"DE razor hands down.\n\neveryone crying about \"It doesnt work as well\" or \"it old crappy tech thats been replaced for a reason\" reminds me of me before I got my DE and learned how to PROPERLY use it.\n\nHell I dont even use shave soap anymore.\n\ntake a good shower and scrub your fucking face you filthy heathens\n\nthen load a new blade in your handle and tighten it up TIGHT\n\nangle your blades so the gaurd is parallel to your skin.\n\nuse your OTHER hand and stretch the skin against the direction of your hair\n\nand glide your blade across\n\n&#x200B;\n\nClosest shave ive ever had. thats compared to cartridge razors, electric razors, fancy dancy 10 blade razor nonsense bullshit razors.\n\nThe one step so many people seem to forget when shaving anymore is to stretch the skin.\n\nas it was put to me \"If youre not stretching the skin, youre not shaving\"",
"Yea i learned by putting it to your forearm as well. I manage to get a 6 months out of it usually",
"Using a single blade shaver and these blades are good, like, forever. I literally buy new packs only because I forgot to pack them for holidays and not because I’m out of good blades. Also, they are waaaay cheaper than any of these double, tripple or whatever shaver blades.\n\nI guess that is exactly why the manufacturers came up with these new concepts: there is not much money to be made with the „classic“ shavers, if they hold practically forever.",
"I'm not that hard up for cash that I need to extend the life of my Harry's razors",
"that's fair. I didn't have a lot of luck when I started. For me though my first blades were a trial pack with about 10 different brands. I found there was a huge difference between some of them and once I switched to one of the other brands I didn't have any more issues.",
"Weird, it takes me so much longer with a multi-blade style razor as it gets choked up with hairs real quick and I spend most of my time washing/picking them out of the gaps. My shavette cost me £8, 200 blades for £10, soap £~2ish, 3 years ago. No real deep cuts, took about 3 goes before I got used to it. Biggest difference maker for me was the use of an Alum block after the shave to deal with any burn and seal up any small nicks.",
"I do this against my own skin. It works just the same",
"I'm not going to believe this works unless I get:\n\n* Either a good explanation of \\*how\\* this works or\n* A scientific study showing this has been tested and works (can be some other type of blade and some other type of cloth)\n\nWithout those, my current conclusion/expectation is, likely this guy \\*thinks\\* it works but it's all in his head, urban legend, placebo all that.",
"Yo, nice username",
"I'm old enough to have had to start off shaving using a single bladed safety razor, and never again. I'm only a twin blader, but I'm not going back to a safety, no sir, no way, no how.",
"Or split each in half and then have 2,000 blades I just use a shavette",
"Or just get a safety razor",
"Lol",
"Yes, thanks adding to my similar list as well",
"Same, got a selection of all the well known brands but after 2 months of trying to make it work, I decided it wasn't worth it. \nMaybe it's because I have thick hairs or sensitive skin but since then I've stuck to cheap alternative blades for my trusty sensor excel razor because fuck Gillette and their ripoff prices",
"The good olds days. Watching videos not worry about ads.",
"So you take this blue sharpie and never replace your blades again. Like and subscribe.",
"I recently switched back to a 3 blade and came to a similar conclusion. There’s so much more room to prevent clogs.",
"Beauty, eh?",
"If I understand it right, this is the same as using a honing steel for your kitchen knives. When razors get dull, it's usually because the very thin edge of the individual blades have fallen out of the particular angle they need to be at, in the same way the very thinnest part of a kitchen knife does after lots of use. The majority of the blade doesn't change because it's thicker and also isn't coming in contact with the hair in most cases. Honing brings the edge back to the right angle and in the case of kitchen knives, does so on both sides. Since razor blades like these tend to be more or less flat on the side you can't reach with this technique, this should, ostensibly, re-hone the edge and make it cut that much better until it once again goes out of that angle. Rinse and repeat from there.",
"Yep, just like using a steel on a kitchen knife, you're honing the edge and bringing the burr back to the appropriate angle clear across each blade.",
"Brilliant. Clearly explained. Thank you!",
"He's basically honing the blade. It's a real thing.",
"So the blade is no longer properly aligned (and not just \"damaged/has material removed\", and doing this re-aligns it, making it more efficient/useful/sharp.\n\n[https://www.allrecipes.com/article/honing-vs-sharpening/](https://www.allrecipes.com/article/honing-vs-sharpening/)\n\nThanks, I learned something today! I wish videos like this would explain things like this, it's the most interesting part...",
"He said that himself, yes.",
"I do that, but between every hair-cutting stroke I do on my face or wherever else. Keeps it from getting clogged, too.",
"I shave in the shower with a shower mirror. Quick blast from the shower head cleans it out. I get the best shaves in the shower.",
"Pray tell, why would she put a razor in your shoes?",
"Gotcha. It sounded like some kind of \"saw\" thing where the key you need to save your life is located at the tip of the shoe that's lined with tons of razor blades.",
"I guess I got lucky so. I just got a double edge Merkur and a pack of blades and I haven't found that it takes me any longer to shave at all, nor had any other problems with it, and it was just as smooth as shaving with a disposable. I'd been using disposables for ages, one time I even used the one disposable for a whole year just to see if I could, but still wasn't happy with how much plastic I was wasting, and wasn't happy about the price of them for a fresh pack.",
"I think that video is misleading because he's only magnifying by how much a desktop microscope shows. [This vid from Scientific American](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6kgw6j9n_2o) seems to show that razors actually chip from hair.",
"That wouldn't surprise me...the dude sells razors, so I'm a little skeptical of it as well\n\nThanks for the link!"

"Cool as fuk",
"It's fascinating to me we can even make needles that small.",
"And make needles that small",
"That last fuckin cherry tomato in the salad.",
"Can the needle damage the egg cell?",
"I'm sure it must be able to do, if they tried. But maybe they just do enough that a few are likely to be undamaged?",
"Yes, cells can get too damaged because of the needle insertion but it's usually less than 5% of the cells.",
"I'm surprised at how robust that cell wall is.",
"Crazy. The movements look pretty rough but at that scale they must be so gentle.",
"follow up question: what if they just \"dropped off\" the sperm right on top of it instead of piercing it? would it take?",
"How _do_ we make needles that small? Are they “grown” by some sort of procedural chemical process?",
"Nope! Part of the process of icsi involves immobilizing the sperm by crushing the tail. No tail, no way it can drill through the zona pellucida (the thick shell around the actual cell). That’s why you have to puncture not only the zp but also break the cell membrane and put the sperm in the cytoplasm (the inside of the egg cell",
"It’s made using a tool called a microforge. Take the regular principles of glass blowing/pulling and do it under a microscope!",
"A human egg is about 1/10 the size of the ball in a ballpoint pen. We do this using a micro manipulation system that translates an inch of joystick movement into a few microns of movement. That’d be like moving something 100 meters and it scaling down to be 1cm of movement.",
"so i'm curious how are they able to maneuver the needle so accurately? that's incredible.\n\nsecond question, did they need to pierce the egg? wouldn't releasing the sperm cell near the egg be enough to have it swim into the egg?",
"Funny enough it HAS to damage the cell. The membrane of the cell has to be broken so the sperm can be placed inside. Good news for us tho, vast majority of the time the membrane repairs itself and it can go on to fertilize.",
"It’s actually not even a cell wall. Kinda but not really. It’s called the zona pellucida and it’s a glycoprotein matrix designed to serve as a barrier to sperm in a way that prevents multiple sperm from being able to fertilize the egg at once. It also serves as the final test so to speak to find the best sperm since they have to drill through it in order to fertilize the actual cell. Survival of the fittest on the smallest scale!",
"NSFW",
"? Pussy",
"Only if you work at someplace the believes this is \"foiling gods plan with the devil's hands\" or some such crazy shit.",
"everyone reading this are winners :)",
"Why crush the tail or worry about immobilizing it? Would it be impossible to catch it in a syringe otherwise?",
"Romantic.",
"For others who are interested https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vbedv7-QUWY",
"This is why I have a child today. We had a few done then they become blastocysts and my wife had it implanted and they televise it happening, pretty wild to have photos like that of your childs blastocyst.",
">That thirty seconds of flailing around with the needle\n\nLook man, you gotta calm down. The lady clearly isn't going anywhere.",
"Nothing at all like the Look Who’s Talking intro. Thanks Kirstie.",
"Not a scientist but when the sperm naturally fertilises the egg, it loses it’s tail. So perhaps it’s to do with that?",
"In short, yes. But crushing the tail also helps to “activate” the sperm allowing it to fertilize. There’s a whole bunch of morphological changes a sperm undergoes naturally during fertilization that we are kinda bypassing with icsi. Lucky for us, crushing the tail seems to be a shortcut!",
"Neat shit, huh?"

"A Frenchman designed Wash DC, which makes it very easy to navigate.",
"Living in America for the past 10 years, I’ve realized that America (for the most part) is all about speed. They want everything to be as fast as they could. They value their time more than anything. So finishing the task like commuting or eating is always gonna be their first choice. \n\nIf one can say it’s not about the destination, it’s about the journey. Americans will be like, nope. It’s how fast I can get there. And for now, getting to their destination the fastest way is using cars.",
"> And for now, getting to their destination the fastest way is using cars.\n\nWhich is hilarious cause we have no bullet trains.",
"In my experience, when waivers are granted to developers that let them put in less than whatever the minimum required parking spots is for the area it results in an area that is a pain in the ass to deal with and feels more overcrowded than it actually is.\n\nIt would be nice to have better public transit but the trillions of dollars that would need to be spent to have decent public transit a generation from now isn’t something that I can see getting and maintaining the support that it would require.",
"I'm not gonna lie that America definitely needs an overhaul on public transportation to make us less reliant on cars, but I feel like sometimes people forget that each American state is roughly the size of an entire European country. Philadelphia may only have 1.6 million people, but the philadelphia metro area is roughly 5-7 million people. If you have up to 7 million people relying on one city for their economy it makes the 2.2 million parking spaces seem a lot more reasonable. Manhattan's population literally doubles during a work day. I also wanna say from a pedestrian standpoint most American cities such as New York, and Chicago which are on a grid system are very easy to navigate unlike European cities which are literally ancient and often make no sense urban planning wise in a modern age. \n\nTL;DR American public transportation sucks, cars bad, but this video is euro-centric af.",
"It's pretty easy to invest in public transit when the US pays for your defense budget and your entire country is smaller than a US state.",
"Yes and no. You have to understand the scope. The U.S. is 3000 miles wide. We took a massive lesson from WW2. Germany was nearly successful because of their ability to move military forces quickly. We took that lesson and ran with it. Eisenhower wanted freeways so we built them. This opens up the vastness of the U.S. to lower income people who couldn't afford to fly. The American road trip becomes a thing. Which is arguably about the journey. \n\nSo while speed is a factor that is simply a function of having two things collide at the same time in history a need to open up the country and the need to move our military quickly. \n\nSpeed has become a staple of U.S. infrastructure, but only to a degree, you will notice no bullet train, high speed jet service is reserved to major metro routes.\n\nOur country development has the need for speed for us to function.\n\nAs for speed in our dining, that is more of a myth. Yes there are lots of fast food joints. However, take the time to explore and you will find nice restaurants and dinners far out number fast food joints. I think the restaurant trade group numbers show nearly 2 to 1. So about a third of restaurants are fast food. That may change by the end of the pandemic. \n\nAt the core the U.S. does not really have a single culture, it has many, variety is the only constant. Some are speed obsessed, but most arn't. \n\nYes, most do value their time, but isn't that the only true thing of value..."

"In HS I had a friend that played multiple chess games in his head. He would call out a move to another player as they passed in the hall. He also kept 'letter games' going through the USPS with out of state players.\n\nSome of these games would last weeks and months without him ever writing any move down on paper. Dozens of games, thousands of moves, and he kept it all in his head.",
"Amazing. I cannot conceive a way that that's possible but still; wow!",
"Me either. \n\nI didn't understand it then, I don't understand it now.\n\nJust looked him up online. He retired as a HS Tennis coach and Teacher a couple years ago.",
"The way it works it that players at very high level can see chess as just a string of moves called notation.\n\nFor example here a famous game the boby fisher played against Borris Spassky: 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 a6 4.Ba4 Nf6 5.0-0 Be7 6.Re1 b5 7.Bb3 0-0 8.c3 d6 9.h3 Nb8 10.d4 Nbd7 11.Nbd2 Bb7 12.Bc2 Re8 13.Nf1 Bf8 14.Ng3 g6 15.Bg5 h6 16.Bd2 Bg7 17.a4 c5 18.d5 c4 19.b4 Nh7 20.Be3 h5 21.Qd2 Rf8 22.Ra3 Ndf6 23.Rea1 Qd7 24.R1a2 Rfc8 25.Qc1 Bf8 26.Qa1 Qe8 27.Nf1 Be7 28.N1d2 Kg7 29.Nb1 Nxe4 30.Bxe4 f5 31.Bc2 Bxd5 32.axb5 axb5 33.Ra7 Kf6 34.Nbd2 Rxa7 35.Rxa7 Ra8 36.g4 hxg4 37.hxg4 Rxa7 38.Qxa7 f4 39.Bxf4 exf4 40.Nh4 Bf7 41.Qd4+ Ke6 42.Nf5 Bf8 43.Qxf4 Kd7 44.Nd4 Qe1+ 45.Kg2 Bd5+ 46.Be4 Bxe4+ 47.Nxe4 Be7 48.Nxb5 Nf8 49.Nbxd6 Ne6 50.Qe5\n\nTo most people this will seem like a completely random string of numbers but imagine you’ve spends 100s of hours playing chess and these moves are no longer random, in fact they are very sensible. This games opening was the Ruy lopez,Breyer Variation, high level players will know this opening and will have likely spent some time studying it and it’s many potential stemming variations so remembering a game that stems from it would not be that difficult for someone who has already spend hours and hours learning chess strategy anyway. \n\nIt’s not that they have super human memory or anything like that, their brains have just been wired for chess so much anyway that being able to remember notation is just a natural result of that. \n\nIt’s like if you walked around the same city everyday eventually you could easily remember how to get from any point a to any point b in the city, even if you never walked straight from one point to the other before. In chess even if you’ve never played that exact game if you’ve spent hours playing, memorizing and studying similar games then all the variations will be easy to remember.",

"That truly is remarkable, the dog seems to understand how the system works. Either that or he's very well trained. Sooo cool!",
"And yet it's still tied up",
"The dog is trying to reach the back of the child's neck to pick her up and bring her to \"safety\", it's inadvertently adding weight to the swing and pushing her away.\n\nIf the dog wasn't tied up it would probably be running all around the swing trying to follow her and getting hit and causing danger like the girl getting knocked out of the swing.",

"This is cute 😍",

"I don't know it could have been a metaphor about how humans, having dominated everything, have begun consuming themselves, metaphorically, to have the special thing that makes them successful. And the happy, light-hearted attitude would fit perfectly with the whole, toxic positivity thing we have going on where, while we can consume each other for profit, we cannot be pessimistic about it lest we are seen as someone with \"bad vibes\" to be avoided.\n\nI guess the show the way it is now is cool too.",
"That's exactly my point. It's a great example of where a gender flip works. By switching a creepy teenager boy into a girl it becomes a statement that women can be weird, and pervy too. It becomes easier to digest when it's breaking and challenging a stereotype, as it's more of a joke of something that women can't talk about. Similarly by making Tina a woman get behavior becomes disconnected from the patriarchal issues of the behavior we allow in boys evolving into something. We don't imagine Tina growing up too be a creepy rapey person because we don't have many of those in our society. So that let's us enjoy looking fun at the pains of adolescence without having to punish it.",
"No, it is a great example of sexist double standards. Women can't talk about sex? Really? Have you never seen female stand up comics before? \n\nYou dont imagine Tina growing up to be a creepy rapey person because you are a sexist.\n\nThere are lots of female creeps and rapists. What are you talking about?",
"Yeah that’s when I stopped watching, it got pretty drab",
"I loved this, wished it went in a similar vein but it never would have gone ad long as it had. One a funny note, we had a coworker whose job was to ride his truck to the dump. One day he came back and was giving us packs of bubble gum. After we were all chewing it, he told us he found a whole box of it at the dump.",
"Ahh then I saw but forgot it.",
"That got real dark real fast.",
"Were they going for a “what if Sweeney and Mrs Lovett actually ended up together and got married?” vibe? \n\nIn the context of them grinding up human meat together, it suddenly becomes noticeable that Bob and Linda’s personalities are comedic, modern takes on the personalities of the original musical characters. \n\nThis straight up feels like it could have been a scene in a funnier version of the Sondheim musical.",
"meatbags",
"OKAY... wtf is this...\n\nI LOVE IT",
"What?",
"The voice of Hugo the health inspector (sam seder) does a podcast where he has mentioned a couple of times the original concept of them being a cannibal family serving human meat from Mort. He said Hugo was supposed to be a much bigger recurring role. He was the belchers archnemesis because he suspected them of serving human meat always on the verge of proving it and exposing them. \n\nWould have been cool to see the original conception on something like Comedy central, but it probably wouldnt have had as much success or lasted as long as the show on Fox.",
"> No, it is a great example of sexist double standards. \n\nI never denied that it reflected double standards. The whole first point is that it calls out double standards by making the opposite and then making us wonder why would it be rare.\n\nThe whole point is that many women have identified as Tina at some point.\n\nThe double standard is that we live in a society were men are expected, and too many times allowed (boys will boys they say) to misbehave in ways that cause harm. At the same time girls instead are forced to instead hide and limit any behavior that shows sexual desire, and at the same time because of this prohibition they are never expected to misbehave, which is hurtful to women and men as much as the former (women is wonderful effect).\n\nBecause of that double standard above, if I say the same thing about a boy vs a girl it will be interpreted very differently.\n\nIt's hard to talk about the hardships of being a teenager and how you sometimes cross the line and do things that you realize too late are not what you want to do. Teenagers who are creepy when they are 11, but grow up to be sensible reasonable adults that are not assholes. The thing is that men, because of the double standard above, do a huge amount of damage, and many never even grow beyond this, because of it. So when you show that as the story of a teenager boy, it triggers all sorts of recognition that it's not that simple, again because there already is a double standard.\n\nBy making it a woman that isn't there. Ideally it shouldn't matter, sadly it does, and we as a society have to work on this. If you identify with men and wish to work on it, try to create more positive examples that cover this with me. Or alternatively find ways to break the paragons of manliness and expectations of man to allow for a bigger variety of stories and interpretations of what it means to go from child to adult as a man. There are stories that do this. Many though, that work well in our current day, instead focus on women. And this also makes sense when you realize how it's been about men for so long.\n\n> You dont imagine Tina growing up to be a creepy rapey person because you are a sexist.\n\nActually you are right there. In an ideal world we wouldn't have to think of it more or less because of their gender. But sadly we've seen a different world, and the trigger is very male oriented for me at least. To say that we don't have sexist ideals and concepts is naive. Instead of trying to prevent what is extremely hard (and useless because it only fixes on person) we should try to find ways to make society move towards a better take. And as society moves we may find that things we never considered sexist actually are. Or maybe not. And maybe some conventions will change once the balance of privilege is truly gender-less. Or maybe they'll grow more nuanced.\n\n> There are lots of female creeps and rapists. What are you talking about?\n\nNever implied there wasn't. Just that it's harder for people to not imagine it cynically for men. It's the \"women are wonderful effect\", but it comes from a convention of what men can do and get away with too.\n\nThe thing is that men live in a world where they are privileged, and this means that their mistakes get to be someone else's trauma. While they themselves are shielded from many of the mistakes of women. It's not absolute, but it's consistent enough that we can say it's the average, the default in our society. To men then it seems like it's normal, and see no reason to change it. So when a guy is obsessed about butts and writes zombie weird erotica about their classmates, it's hard not to think of a guy who was creepy like that but then ended up actually sexually assaulting someone. It doesn't even have to be a majority, just enough that you could think of someone, and that's true for most people. So the trigger is there. Even when the series tells you \"they'll grow to good people\", it's hard to believe and connect.\n\nThis is not rarer in women, but is generally more hidden, because of our social conventions, and how we handle it. We actively hide women's sexuality more than men (ironically we seem more insulted by male sexuality), so we also hide their abuses and evil. When a girl is the one writing zombie literotica, it becomes empowering, it shows something we hide. At the same time it's easier to believe 'she grows into good people\" not because most think it's more probable than the guy, but because most think it's less probable it wasn't the guy.",
"The cannibal angle just seems like a pointless commitment, the show isn't even serialised so it would just be a meaningless addition to most episodes"

"probably not even the string manufacturer. strings are consumables after all, and the player seems to have a rather aggressive style. it's bound to happen eventually\n\nluckily the guys are pros and barely skipped a beat fixing it",
"You’re correct, the conductor was not involved in this situation. The highest string that the violinist broke is made of extremely thin metal at about 0.5 mm in diameter. It’s kept at a constant high tension for the entire time it’s on the violin so this combination make it’s the most likely to break if you’re applying string breaking force. \n\nThe probability of this happening with normal practice is very low where if you’re breaking a metal string once a month, you’re doing something wrong. \n\nSince there is still always a possibility of this, especially during a high pressure live setting, theres an unwritten process that the concertmaster and the first few violins follow that they showed in this video in order to give the soloist the best chance to recover. \n\nEnough violinists could relate to that fear that it’s now considered good manners and the right/egoless thing to do to create the best group performance. \n\nYou can see it again here: https://youtu.be/686xoeQAVA4\n\nIt happens to be the same violinist but from 4-5 years ago, so I’m not trying to imply he breaks it anymore than that rate…",
"It's like losing your lead singer compared to losing a member of the choir",
"The conductor is kind of in the back seat at this point. When orchestras play music like this with a soloist, the soloist takes the driver's seat and they lead the performance. The conductor's job at that point is to keep the rest of the musicians together and following the soloist. It's not totally unpredictable or anything; the orchestra rehearses with the soloist and the conductor and soloist will meet separately to go over the music and plan how they'll work together.\n\nStrings just break - it's normal. The conductor can't make anyone play hard enough to break a string; players use their own judgement on how hard to play. Lots of violin players put a new set of strings on before a big performance, but you also don't want to do it at the very last minute so you just gotta run the risk. What you see in this video is the concertmaster (the most senior violin player in the orchestra and the leader of the musicians) handing over their violin so the soloist to continue. This is traditional and is a good idea because the concertmaster usually has a great violin and it will be set up to sound right for solos. What you see in the background is the concertmaster handing the broken violin to the Associate Concertmaster (his wingman) or the Principal 2nd Violin, who is kind of like the Vice-President of Violins. (It's hard to tell in this video) who hands over his violin. This is a bit more unorthodox but is a courtesy like lending your friend a cigarette lighter when you have a smoke. All the violinists won't swap instruments; it'll probably stop where it is and that's OK.",
"According to Hollywood, there is fierce competition for first chair violin, and I guess all the chairs are numbered, so the ones who are considered superior bully the lesser chairs and take their toy.",
"The front guys - the 'principal' players - lead all the violins, who look and listen to how those front players are performing for guidance. The violins can keep playing without that leadership because they've rehearsed together, but it helps them to have that leadership, especially when they are performing with a soloist who may do something unpredictable and they could do with that guidance.",
"The person breaking the string is the soloist, the “star” of the performance, without him the performance falls apart. He is usually not part of the orchestra ensemble but a guest musician. \n\nHe is swapping with the first violin which is the section leader of the violins and usually the concertmaster, which is something like the leader of the orchestra. They are the conductors right hand and responsible for the orchestra playing how the conductor wants them to play. So they are the most important musician on stage after the soloists.

"Yes? Do you see how closely they’re performing?",
"Is it that 2nd chairs responsibility to fix that string like she tried to do then? Or just wait til the tune is over?",
"Some obscure fun fact I only learned recently is that conductors are relatively \"new\" and weren't really a thing until the romantic period. So a lot of the stuff a conductor does was handled by the concertmaster back in the classical period and before.",

"Not just Hollywood but its real. There's a number of different sections-1st and 2nd violins, violas, cellos, and the bass. In the front row you'll see a pair of each who are designated first and second chair for their respective sections with the 1st chairs seated closest to the audience,all except the bass players who are hidden away in the back due to the size of their instruments. \n\nThe chairs assign from 1st to however many you have in that section will usually be ranked from \"best\" to \"worst\" and they usually fan out sort of like a pyramid.\n\nAs per this video which was amazing BTW showed how originally the concertmaster or the first chair violin gave up his instrument to continue with the show and it got passed down from player to player. I think the 4th chair actually ended up with the hot potato at the end of the day as they realized the buck stopped there. Ha.",
"It can either be the 2nd chair or the person directly behind them in 4th chair like in the original video. Whichever causes the least amount of further distraction while still allowing the first stand to keep leading the rest of the violins. \n\nWhoever ended up changing the string would keep playing that violin until the end of the piece or until the soloist indicated that they wanted their instrument back at a safe time during the music.",

Different strings respond differently to the loss of tension differently, so it's not like you can even just shift to a different position and be sorta close.\n\nI don't use those things anymore.

"He had tons of copies of Lucille. You can buy one yourself. They're not THAT expensive. You can buy an Epiphone one for £800. And these days, weirdly, Epiphone is actually better than Gibson, despite them being Gibson's own budget brand.\n \nOf course it's a little more if you want an exact replica made by Gibson's custom shop, which are the Lucilles that BB King actually played. You're looking at something closer to £8000 for one of those.\n \nBut yeah BB King himself had dozens of copies of them. Cos you don't wanna end up in a situation like Stevie Ray Vaughan himself did, where his own special number 1 guitar (literally named \"number 1\") was destroyed when a stage fell onto it. It was unfixable. And he died shortly after that too. That particular strat he used was very unique. The neck was very very fat, much thicker than basically every other strat neck. Because SRV had enormous hands, and so he needed a big fat neck, but wanted that gorgeous Stratocaster tone. So instead of getting a guitar that has a naturally thicker neck like a Gibson Les Paul, he found this old second hand strat in a shop and it was so good that it became the guitar he used 90% of the time for both live shows and recordings. For some reason these weird thick neck strats were super rare. Back then and even more so now. \n \nBut yeah once it was destroyed they couldn't really just make another one. It was uniquely worn away, from his sweat and from him digging into it so hard.\n \nThat's why so many big guitarists have replicas that they use for touring. Because they don't wanna risk breaking their special guitar for the sake of \"authenticity\". A replica will sound as good and look the same (especially these days as they've developed ways to do artificial wear and tear on the paint to make it look like say SRV's strat or Rory Gallagher's strat, like with pre-worn jeans). So they don't risk the real deal, they only use those for recording purposes.",

Those things cost thousands and I can imagine that the soloist was set back by having to play someone elses instrument. Doesn't have the same intricacies as your own instrument. \n\nOn top of that violin strings don't brake as easy as guitar strings, so no one really prepares for a brake as a soloist. Ofcourse you might keep old extra strings available in your case for the worst situations, like a string brakes right before a concert.\n\nSo two points, violin strings don't brake as easy and the culture behind owning a violin is different to owning a guitar. Guitarists (electric mostly) might own multiple guitars and like to swap around trying new ones. Violinsts pick one violin and that's your instrument, that you need to learn to play.",

"It's a way to minimize the impact of the broken instrument.\n\nIn an orchestra, each position for each instrument (called your \"chair\") is numbered, and your number determines what part you play. So like, the first chair violin plays the solos, melody, etc. The second chair violin plays the harmony. The third chair violin plays supporting notes, and etc. on back, depending on the piece and the size of your orchestra.\n\nIf the soloist's violin is broken, you're really going to notice it, because they're being heavily featured. But if the fourth chair has a broken string, it's a lot less obvious and easier to compensate for, because they're playing more background stuff that you're not focused on. When everybody trades up and sends the broken instrument back, it minimizes the impact on the piece as a whole.",
"Yep. The concertmaster (first violin) and principal second violin are the most important in their sections (and the concertmaster is the 2nd most important overall, after the conductor).

After that, it won't matter too much who has it, except they should be on the inside seat of the stand (not on the outside where the stage edge is) so as not to distract the audience too much while they repair it. The soloist trades violins with the concertmaster as a matter of convenience and because in many cases (but certainly not all) the concertmaster will have a really nice violin. In orchestras, it's common knowledge for string players to come prepared with spare strings on stage just in case something like this happens.

"I don't think you understand how hard it is to cause a string to break on your own. Strings are pretty hard to break just from playing the violin, and when they do break it's because of more long-term wear. In other words, if it breaks, it usually means it was going to break soon either way, especially if she had only been playing the second one for less than 2 minutes. You don't really pick up a violin and cause a string to break through \"abusing\" the violin, unless you do something you're not supposed to do. Keep in mind these strings take a lot of wear over time through bowing and also plucking.\n\nI've actually had one incident somewhat similar to this: whenever I replaced strings, I would keep the previous one as a backup. I was practicing at home one day when my E broke, so I replaced it with my old E. Then that one also broke like an hour later. So it's not really as improbable as you think it might be. Chances are more likely that both her string and the next guy's string were due to be replaced.",

He then slides down the neck and plays the second-note with his third finger. Very difficult to say for sure as the resolution is quite bad. OR: they did a quick overdub in the studio before releasing the DVD. After all they knew there was kindof a fuck-up in the performance at this precise moment, and probably checked before release if anything sounded OK. If it did not, they may have overdubbed these one or two notes before giving their OK for the DVD release, nothing really bad about that.",

"Nope, the \"tremolo bar\" is actually named wrong, it's really a vibrato.\n\nVibrato changes pitch and tremolo changes volume.\n\nBut I understand the confusion and your point.",
"I'm completely aware of what the whammy bar does. I'm also aware of what a tremolo pedal does (rapid volume fluctuation). A volume pedal is not equivalent to a tremolo pedal. A tremolo pedal is used for an effect whereas a volume pedal in an expression pedal used to roll volume on or off. You can't use a tremolo pedal like a volume pedal as you described. To make things even more interesting, tremolo picking is not analogous to any of the above.",
"WE FUCKING WERE NOT TOLD TO WATCH FOR THE GORRILLA, WE WERE TOLD TO WATCH FOR SOMETHING ELSE!",
"oh gotcha, idk why I thought it was a tremolo pedal and he just lowered the volume as much as possible, but you're probably right, it's an expression pedal, my bad.",

"I can't actually remember any racing. It's possible that I didn't play far enough to reach it, or that I've just forgotten over the intervening 12 years.\n\nIt's not like I was opposed to that sort of hybrid game either, I was a huge fan of Natural Selection, which was an FPS/RTS hybrid (released in 2002) and its sequel (released in 2012).",

Fuck those things.",

But really are we supposed to be cheering on loud self-righteousness for the sake of self-righteousness?",

Stricter ones! Why don’t we gather into a community and scrutinize everyone who wants to come and live here? Which side of the road guests can park on. How long they can visit and what type of vehicles are allowed to park overnight. Just to name a few. In this case it seems to be a dispute about a shed or a small dwelling unit. Which has rather strict requirements without HOA’s involvement. That’s not something you can relocate at your will for insurance and convince purposes.

If your name was drawn you were expected to serve the government of Athens in some capacity for 1 year. This was to make it more difficult for corruption to be a thing and prevented a lot of fuckery.

"That's not why HOAs exist, that's how they sell the idea to you. HOAs exist because local governments don't want to spend any money maintaining the things they allow developers to put in, ironically sometimes things that developers are required to put in by the local government itself. The local government says \"I don't want to clear snow/leaves off of the paths you built\" or \"I don't want to maintain the shrubbery you've installed at the entrance to this community\" and the developer says \"ok we'll set up an HOA that handles maintenance of those things\". They then sell it to the buyers as a way to increase property values (which is BS). The entire thing exists solely as a way for local governments to have developments built without having to do/pay for any maintenance of it and push the cost onto future homeowners. This is why some towns actually REQUIRE new developments to be HOAs.",

Those rules get added by power-tripping ego-maniacs who often have antiquated views of what makes a neighbourhood undesirable, and by adding these rules that generally boil down to \"everyone's house should look like mine\", they get to feel powerful.\n\nHOA by lottery would likely have just the basic \"don't have literal trash all over your lawn\" and other such sensible rules. \n\nThe problem still remains that enforcement of these rules still requires some of your own personal time. Hard to get round that.",

I mean, they don't expressly forbid you from doing any yard work... but you're not allowed to use anything powered, no fertilizers and you need to get every single plant approved.

They do that by setting up an HOA and then sell it as a way to keep property values up but that's not actually why they're created today. It's purely to push the maintenance costs directly to residents.\n\nPlus, not all HOAs can be disbanded as easily as you make it seem. You'd have to vote out the current members, vote to amend the bylaws to allow it to be disbanded, and then have a vote to remove it entirely, which would also involve coming up with a plan with the town/city on who will cover the aforementioned maintenance.

Same thing with people not buying a place just because a neighbor painted their house a color they don't like without ever meeting said neighbor. Real easy to see (again in my opinion) the right and the wrong of that. Yes, buying a house is one of, if not the biggest investment most will make. Maybe that is the disconnect though. I bought our house to be our home...like until I die. Not to flip and sell for a profit. So in my case it is an investment, not one for financial gain but one for my golden years.\n\nOther people don't have that view and I get that. Some people sign up for HOAs to protect their financial investment and I get that too. To me, a house is something you buy to make a home.

Honestly though, I don't think I'm approaching home ownership the wrong way. People that need to keep property values up, even at the expense of others, just to protect their profits are. Again, I'm not arguing that it isn't a thing or it's not something that you unfortunately have to take I to account. I'm just saying that it is shitty. Also, if it is going to be a thing then there should be more regulation or something to prevent that type of shit that can happen when an HOA goes bad. Honestly, there shouldn't even be HOAs. City/County ordinances or whatever should be plenty to make sure someone is keeping their property up to an acceptable level.\n\nSorry, that is a wall of text.

I got lucky the owners of the house I picked to look at and offer on wanted to leave as soon as possible so they choose my lower offer over higher ones without closing dates.\n\nI got lucky that when they went back and opened it for more showings to try and get more offers that only one more came in.\n\n I got lucky that my dad knew an agent who would lend me money to cover the down payment since I was a few thousand short. \n\nI got lucky that my buddy asked to hangout, told me he was buying a house, which then piqued my interest in even looking.\n\n\nI could keep going. Every scenario is different but saying it has NOTHING to do with it is just silly.",
"All I'm referring to is the concept of a transaction. There's not a private collection of houses with people chosen by lottery to be buyers. The only thing you need to buy a house is the means to do so which is earned and attainable.",

"> If it comes down to someone wanting their forever home to be a certain \ncolor or plant a certain kind of plant to make it their dream home vs \nsomeone who doesn't want them to do that just so they can make more \nmoney then it is real easy to pick who I side with.\n\nAnd I would say there is more to your life than just your home. A house is both an asset and a liability. It can easily trap your life. With a home that is worth more and easier to sell you gain more freedom of mobility. Tens of thousands of dollars is a big deal, and it can be the deciding factor of what opportunities you can or can't take. Why should someones \"dream home\" interfere with my dream life?\n\nIt would really suck to tell your child \"sorry son, we can't send you to the nicer school because our neighbor wanted to paint their house hot pink\".\n\n> I have just had bad experiences with HOAs.\n\nI've had bad experiences with neighbors. My dad bought a place because it had an amazing view of the lake. Later his neighbor decided to put up a bunch of tall trees blocking his only view. That fucked up his dream home.\n\nYes there are bad HoAs. But at least you can read the rules before you decide to buy. Outside of that you can't predict what neighbors will do.\n\nBut yes, I do think there should be a certain percentage of neighborhoods that can't be HoA controlled.",
"From my experience the houses with HOA's that run over $1000/year at worth way more that $250/500k. Owners of $1m+ homes don't worry about $1000/year if it keeps people from living in a dump next door.",
"My rowhouse in DC had no HOA, the house across the alley was a older man living in basement with no water or electric. Space heater started a fire that didn't actually burn the place down but all the windows on third floor were busted out by fire crew and burnt rotten front porch was knocked down, three year later it he was still living in the basement with boarded up windows. DC has laws but you can work that process to delay. Besides reporting him every ninety days, there was very little to be done.",
"That could be your experience, as noted it was not mine. The common area is the main draw, pools and parks and then rules to maintain the look for homes nearby.",
"You don't think there's consent involved in something like choosing to work for a worker-owned cooperative, which we do associate w/ communism?",
"It depends, but yes for larger projects you would submit it to them. I've never seen them say no. For smaller projects, like putting up decorations, changing the folliage, they don't care at all.\n\nLike I said though, your will know whether the idea does or does not sound appealing to you, in theory. If you want to have the freedom to change your house at will, then don't move into an HOA regardless of how \"good\" they are. I personally don't care what my house looks like as long as it looks decent enough and clean, and want my neighbors to also be clean and well kempt. I knew that going in so it doesn't offend me to think I need to ask for permission if I wanted to do something. It's what I signed up for.",

You could also say I bought into a community, they have intramural sports, a baseball diamond, tennis courts, multiple pools, a community little league, quarterly chili cook offs, drive in movie nights, fourth of July fireworks, Christmas tree lighting ceremonies, etc. So while I lose some control on the exterior appearance of my house, I gain access to a lot of other stuff.\n\nMy main point is not \"you're wrong for not wanting to be in an HOA\". Absolutely not, you prioritize personal freedom of your property and that is perfectly reasonable. I am only attempting to say that they aren't all as heinous as some believe them to be. There are *definitely* rotten ones out there.",
"Maybe, but only insofar as it affects adjacent units.",
"There are thousands upon thousands of HOAs, and the vast majority of them are pretty mundane and unremarkable, but you generally don't hear about them. The only time people are motivated enough to talk about their HOA is when it's poorly run. There's a pretty huge sampling bias that you should be aware of whenever you hear about HOAs, especially somewhere like reddit. There's a decent chance that many of those complaining about their current HOA have lived in a few HOAs before that without complaint.",

I also used to work for the innocent project, I know the topic at hand better than you do. \n\nI conceded that the legal system is flawed and asked you a simple question, to which you didn’t meaningfully respond. You shifted the goal post and avoided the question by essentially saying its too hard to answer. The ultimate purpose of my questioning was to show that the system is flawed, but determining truth and falsity to resolve disputes is hard and I would love to hear how you propose to resolve it by some other means. It’s easy to criticize something, real critical thought isn’t identifying the problem, it’s identifying a real and workable solution.",
">Some people don't complain about things that I would have a problem with. E.g. \"can I build a deck\", \"no\", \"ok I won't do it then.\"\n\nMore realistically, it's \"Can I build a deck? Let me look at the CC&Rs which are in my deed which I've known about since before I even contracted to purchase my home and which should not be surprising to me in the least. Looks like I need to use approved materials and get my immediate neighbors to sign off on the plan, just like anyone else in the HOA.\"\n\n>I'd even go as far as to take issue w/ their ability to impose that sort of rule\n\nThe HOA's ability to impose rules arises from an agreement between you and your neighbors. Nobody in history has ever been forced to join an HOA or legitimately surprised by the rules/bylaws.\n\n>my opinion it means I don't really own my house in the same way\n\nI have bad news, by this standard literally nobody owns their home, because your property is subject to a variety of restrictions at the state, county, and local level, in addition to any other covenants in your deed. Wanna have chickens and pigs? Likely banned by both your HOA and your local zoning ordinance. Want to build an addition to your home? Likely subject to both HOA approval and permitting requirements. Want to hook up a new sewer/water/gas line? More permits.\n\n>If I have to ask permission to do things to my own property, already they've gone too far.\n\nIf you get to that point one would ask why you purchased a home in that HOA? It's not like an HOA formed in your neighborhood in secret and forced you to join.\n\n>Maybe there are people who don't have a problem with that, but no thank you these organizations are not for me.\n\nMaybe you just haven't been imaginative enough with how terrible your neighbors could be, or you are one of those neighbors and prefer to live with others like you? Ever have a neighbor do yard work at 5am every weekday? HOAs often have rules about which days/hours you can do noisy yard work. Ever have a neighbor decide to paint their home some horrible shade of puke green? HOAs have rules preventing that. Ever have a neighbor leave a car on cinder blocks in their front yard? Not in an HOA. If you want to do those things and don't care if your neighbors do those things, then HOAs probably aren't for you, but for many, giving up the right to be a shitty neighbor is well worth the ability to avoid shitty neighbors.",
"Correct. We didn't technically own the roof and outside walls of our townhome. HOA was responsible for repair and whatnot.\n\nStill, it only takes one powerhungry or narcissistic asshole to completely ruin it.",
"Technically you want your client to be the most reasonable and likable person in the room. It’s literally your job as counsel."

"Do i have ADHD? I couldn’t sit through that intro and skipped through the video and read the first line of the outro and gave up.\n\nWhich kid was it?",
"I think it's a female child, they don't mention who has ADHD, just tell you to guess :v",
"I figured it was trying to make a sneaky moral point not to judge. It annoyed me lol.",
">female child\n\nAlso known as *a girl*. haha",
"Damn, i hate gg translate but i'm still use it becase my English super bad :(( :v",
"I gotcha, no worries! I have the same problem when speaking German all the time :)",
"This made me so sad. Both of my kids are on the autism spectrum which gave them similar challenges to ADHD and at that age they both felt equally alone.",
"That girl needs a hug. Damn, I need a hug after seeing her replies…",
"I'm the same, I speed up all videos I watch to x2 because x1 is too slow for me now. It's even affecting my speech pattern, I speak too fast for people to understand what the hell I'm saying",
"I just did the same thing and looked in the comments to see what one it was",
"Man, if you told me that girl was Alexandra Daddario as a kid I'd believe you, her face is like the spitting image of her. Eyes and everything",
"The interviewer asks her a question about having ADHD.",
"As someone who was diagnosed at a very young age back in the late 80s/early 90s (can’t remember the exact year), I really feel for that little girl. It was incredibly frustrating, as a child, not being able to explain to other kids what was going on in my head. Just because I did well in school it made it seem as if I was creating an excuse as to why I acted differently in social settings. Awkwardness and anxiety were constant companions. There were some very dark times in my childhood that I never even told my parents about because I didn’t want to be more of a burden on them any than I already was.\n\nAs I got older, my brain continued to develop. Through cycling various medications (which I eventually stopped due to how crappy, physically, I started feeling) and consistently experimenting with trying to recognize social cues and behavioral triggers, I was able to learn coping mechanisms to better deal with my situation. It’s still not perfect, and never will be, but I now have a wife and newborn son (who I sincerely hope didn’t inherit this from me), a good circle of friends, and a steady career. I still have to constantly catch myself in conversations when I feel my mind bouncing around or going off on tangents, so that I don’t come off as rude.\n\nI’m not sure when this video was taken, but I can only hope that the little girl realizes, eventually, that life can improve. Never give up.\n\nTL;DR: ADHD sucks as a kid, but life can get better. Keep pushing forward.",
"I could tell within the first few seconds, just from the body language/energy :S",
"wait now hold up wait a minute SCRRRRRRRCH this is reddit, how is a female child being called a girl and not be downvoted into oblivion?\n\nmaybe the bots aren't awake yet...",
"Break out the pharmaceuticals for both of them. Merica",
"Seems like eye contact (or lack there of) works pretty well as a defining trait here.",
"Man her little ^\"no\" and ^\"I ^don't ^know\" answers kill me.",
"Always a smart ass comment from some random jackass. You win the prize this time! FYI, my daughter was ADHD. Without something to help her, she wasn't getting an education. Thank God for adderall because it allowed her brain to slow down and gave her the ability to focus and retain information.",
"I replied on this same video on reddit last time with something a little more thought out and got a lot of upvotes, so this time I just phoned it in.",
"Well I'm sorry for sounding aggressive, but I have little patience for the people who try to sound high minded and act as if there's always some home remedy or just beat the hell out of a kid who just cant focus their attention for five minutes. Drugs work most of the time. Are they prescribed too often? Probably so. In my daughter's case, we worked with her pediatrician and school psychologists for months ahead of any decision to try adhd meds. We tried many different things with her teachers in the classrooms to help her succeed. To no avail. It was a heart wrenching decision. And afterwards, thank god it worked."

"Why didn't they run the wippet?",
"Everyone involved looks exactly like I would expect them to look.",
"Could be a stamina thing? It looks like they ran the semi finals and finals back to back so maybe the owner limits how many runs the dog does to not injure it. Similar to baseball and only running your pitcher so many innings to not burn their arm out",

Its been a long time since I was involved and Crufts was a joke -- check out the [North American Flyball Association](https://flyball.org)",
"Not sure about Crufts rules but in standard NAFA rules each dog has a jump height assigned according to the dog's height at the shoulders (with a min and max). The team races at the lowest jump height of the 4 dogs competing in that heat. So virtually all teams have a \"height dog\" that lowers the jump height for the team. When I was competing the min height was 8\" and the max was 16\" and that makes a huge difference in time. So even if the height dog is slower, it likely results in a faster time for the team. \n\nFor the really competitive teams. the height dog is often a border collie mix with some kind of shorter breed.",

Season 2 was cool then gave me the biggest blue balls tv experience I’ve ever had with how things “ended”, i almost gave up completely on the show.

No desire to watch anymore. A lot more boring than people hyped it up to be",
"Let me stop you right there. It does.",

Lester to McNulty - \"A life Jimmy - it's the shit that happens while you wait for moments that never come.\" Or Walon to Bubbs after the AIDs test, \"This is you wanting the past to be everything, let it go.\" Both for me far more than thought provoking and even perspective changing at how much baggage I am and was carrying.

In fact, a lot of the commentary on drugs, politics, race, policing, etc are even more accurate today.\n\nJust don't go into it expecting it to be a light, easy watch. It's not something to just put on in the background. The show expects the audience to be engaged and keep up on their own and very little is explained compared to most TV.",
"That's exactly what makes the show great. In real life, all too often you don't get the nice satisfying ending.\n\nThat's the thing, the show isn't designed to produce cheap drama and be entertaining at the expense of its message. The intention of the show is to create a well knit, realistic examination of Baltimore, policing, the drug war, politics, race, etc.\n\nYeah, maybe the show would be more entertaining with more shootouts and big drug busts, but the title of the show tells you what the actual focus is. The Wire is about listening to the seemingly boring info and building a case. \"All the details matter\" is a mantra of both the characters and the writers.",

"stringer bell and avon were the best characters in the show tho",
"yeah but bro...(SPOILERS AHEAD)\n\n&#x200B;\n\nIn s2, it was so good, i was loving the new characters and setting. Frank Sobotka, the most integral character in the series, gets an *off screen* death? Are u fucking kidding me? I remember watching him walk down to the mob dudes at the end of the episode, then at the start of the last episode, they are fishing a body out of the water. i remember thinking \"is that frank? no way thats frank, they didn't show and argument or his talk with the boss yet. theres no way they'd kill him off like that\" But they did. All that build up just to see him dead in the ocean. then the mob dudes got away and weren't mentioned in the next season. nothing happened to young drug dealer nephew... it was just such a blue balls experience that i had to force myself to watch s3. now with avon and stringer gone im no longer interested.",
"idk what you mean by this but how they did sobotka was so dirty, production wise I mean. he's this integral part of the show and his last moment going to talk with the bosses and his death are done off screen. like what the fuck kind of blue balls experience is that. all that build up for this character just for it to end off screen. such a disrespectful choice.",
"only because idris elba is in that new western movie on netflix, and i think how much of a bummer it is they ended his character. i liked the business gangster angle. oh well.",
"I'd argue there's no need to show it. It's clear exactly what will happen as soon as the fed makes the call to the Greek. Everyone knew he was walking to his death at that point. It also lets you feel the same feelings as Nick Sobotka: he's pretty sure Frank is dead and then seeing him fished out of the dock confirms it. \n\nThe blue balls you feel is intentional. It is deeply unsatisfying, but that's the nature of the business, most victories are pyrrhic. The detectives also had blue balls when their investigation was cut off and they lost the Greek. While I'm sure it would be a lot of fun to watch Frank survive and the Greek taken down, it's just not realistic. \n\nIt's like watching a climate change documentary and complaining that it's not uplifting enough."

From the videos I watched there were ambulances in the crowd while it was going on, there were people telling him to stop the concert and he even says on the mic something along the lines of someone is telling me to stop this but he continues the show. I'm sure we will know more as more information comes out and I'm not here to argue with everyone about this incident because there is a larger point I want to make here around the power that the musician has to run the show and control the crowd. I've experienced both sides of the coin, I've seen artists stop a show in order to stop a mosh and I've also experienced artists who encouraged a mosh the type of 'hype' artists that rile up the crowd, I was almost trampled in one of those. Travis is not the only one at fault but from anecdotal accounts of the event it seems he could have been the one to save it.",
"Oh fuck off with your moral grandstanding",
"Event organizer is the \"boss\" and if they say artist has to stop, they have to stop... But of course it is not as simple as that as the artist can easily turn the tables and usurp the entire audience against the people who are actually making it all happen for them.\n\nAn ambulance in the crowd, if they really were still playing... shows unbelievable amounts of... there is probably no other word than sociopathy.\n\nBut isn't Travis one of the organizers? That is what i understood but could be mistaken. That would create a totally different scenario and one where Travis is going away for a loooooong time. This is a failure and the finger does point to the people in charge but the artists are NOT free to say and do what ever they want either. Inciting violence is still a crime, so are knowingly endangering lives.\n\nI'm going to need to see the footage. I used to organize events, for couple of decades and toured as a stagehand, these kind of shows were once my home. There are also unforeseen events, where you can't plan for them effectively, and just things that happen, without any one persons fault. You are still in deep shit as an organizer, which is why as one you do soooo much work that no one sees to make sure you have made all you can do to stop people getting hurt. Artist can do things that endanger the lives of other people, and they often do exploit that special situation where they are practically untouchable. While climbing on the show rigging for ex is completely forbidden, there is nothing you can do to stop it as stopping them is even more dangerous, and there are thousands of people on their side who are also not thinking clearly... \n\n\nSo you let it happen, stage manager is the key here as they do have the power to stop the show. But.. If Travis is his/her boss.. There are several people with the power to stop the show but most of them really have only their own technical fields that they are responsible with, stage manager is responsible of everything that happens on stage. A communication breakdown is one possibility for them not stopping it, there is also always the chance of creating a riot by being \"the man\" who stops the fun.. But artist does have a lot of power how things go, they can stop the show and order people to step aside from the injured. \n\n\nThis will be a legal nightmare.",
"There's many videos doing the rounds on social media if you want to take a peek.[https://twitter.com/OTHMANBARBEY/status/1456961170385088516](https://twitter.com/OTHMANBARBEY/status/1456961170385088516)\n\n[https://twitter.com/mattpatnonnon/status/1456858162359906306](https://twitter.com/mattpatnonnon/status/1456858162359906306)\n\n[https://twitter.com/darkfolie/status/1456961092442284032](https://twitter.com/darkfolie/status/1456961092442284032)\n\nAppreciate the input, I obviously think that it's not 100% on the artist, I think a lot of people should be held accountable but I include them in it. It feels like the old \"Just doing my job\" excuse.\n\nEdit: This one gives perspective too [https://twitter.com/officialshaane/status/1456898085792124936](https://twitter.com/officialshaane/status/1456898085792124936)",
"Here's another good example of what can be done\n\n[https://twitter.com/CoanShoan/status/1456966538716749829?s=20](https://twitter.com/CoanShoan/status/1456966538716749829?s=20)",
"For the artist, they were aware that something was going on. I feel it appalling that no one stopped the show. The stage manager is usually located on the other side of the stage, at the back. Security has the eyes and has to communicate according to a plan that every knows. That is code holyshitSTOP!.. A single event is not likely to cause a stoppage as it is better to not attract more attention and keep the problem localized but after all those tweets.. there are MULTIPLE VICTIMS, not just one or two, and more arriving. \n\n\nOf course, it is very early days and i'm sure i'll get the truth from my brothers still working on the field.. although there are legal reasons and other things that prevent people from talking too much, people who work behind the scenes knows how to keep secrets.. for real, there is so much that people don't know and that is me included. Also, confidentiality clauses are everywhere, it can be illegal to talk. But, the main story will be revealed in due time. Artist does have a lot to explain, so does the whole organization.",
"If any of your friends have worked with Travis I'm sure they will attest to this kind of behavior. I know people who have helped out with his team and expressed concerns before this event as Travis loves to get people raging and encourages that behavior of jumping fences and going crazy. There is a history such as the kid who is now in a wheelchair, and even if we pass the blame off the musician for not doing anything Travis Scott is the one who runs the event so he is responsible for hiring the correct staff for the event and everything that transpires in it. He is undoubtedly accountable for what went down and I hope he faces the correct consequences.",
"I retired a decade ago, in Finland, so most likely don't have first level Bacon connections, maybe 2nd or 3rd level.\n\nHim being the organizer.. woah.. this is interesting legal quandary. How liable can he be when he has his name on the list of people responsible for the event, AND being the artist who did nothing.\n\nAgain, allegedly, all evidence is just rumors at this point but if worst is true i hope they make a warning example out of him. This hits me in a very personal level as i'm one of those who has had sleepless nights because of safety, that there are no stones left unturned and i'm quite proud that my track record is spotless. Crew has been hurt, me included but that is different thing, it is kind of part of the job description: you get hurt so someone else can forget the reality for an hour.\n\nI can say though that metal and rock crowds are better at not creating surges, the more there is death and violence in the lyrics associated with a ton of distortion.. those crowds are just better than others and i don't really understand why. There are artists that attract the worst kind of people, no matter the genre or demographics, i get a definite vibes to Woodstock '99 and Fred Durst's idiocy on stage. The demographics and the way the day had gone from the organizational point of view (everything sucked) had a huge effect and it just peaked when one particular sociopathic asshole decided to incite a riot, and a lot of sexual assaults. There is an excellent documentary about that, i definitely recommend as it gives a good picture what can happen when things are not approached from the right angle and by professionals who care not just about money but the show and everyone in it, who understand their responsibility and the scale of it when things go wrong. Thousands of people and their safety should not be a task like others.",
"Anecdotally my experience has been the same as well, often people say to me omg you go to like rock concerts and metal concerts aren't those scary, but honestly they're some of the safest I've felt. Yes sometimes they have the mosh pits or whatever but it's like organised choas and if I felt uncomfortable or fall down they help you, I've also never been groped at a rock concert whereas all the rap concerts I go to someone tries to grope me or feel me up and they all try to rush and push people and no one seems to care about one another. Again, it's just anecdotally from my experience but the rap concerts seem to breed the worst cultures and from what I've heard this is no different. It's a bit like online communities, two twitch streamers with identical amount of followers can have polar opposite communities, one is toxic and horrible and the other is inviting and funny and look after you. Why? Well it's because it was set in stone from day one by the person who created it, the streamer, or in this case the artist. So I think this could explain the divergence you are talking about which I have experienced too.",
"Mad bro?",
"I just think it’s gross that 8 people die and OPs first idea is to karmafarm it and lambast Travis Scott. The venue and the security are too blame, but this whole thing just feels gross to try and compare the way different artists of different ages from different musical backgrounds handle their crowds.",
"I disagree. It’s relevant to the greater conversation. Responsibility can be spread around, but in that moment the artist holds so much power.",
"And who is responsible for the venue and security? Could it be the person who runs the event? And who is that person? hint, it's Travis Scott. This is like saying you cannot blame the CEO of a company that makes cars when all the cars breaks fail because the engineers/mechanics they hired were incompetent. Accountability exists, despite most people not having any.",
"This is easy if it’s one person. Can we maybe blame the people who actually did the trampling?"

"To be fair on this one, the warning sign didn't come on because the crane was low enough in front but raised up in the back.",
"FYI if you ever are in this situation where you barely hit something. Deflate your tires before trying to back out. Or find another way to lower the vehicle if possible.",
"I wonder if the orange beam is set lower to protect the bridge. If the bridge is actually 6\" higher he might even get away with it.",
"That’s genius",
"Why don't they just dig the road a bit deeper to allow more clearance?",
"They actually raised the train bridge. (High water table so they cant dig down.)\n\nThe bridge used to be 11' 8\" but now it is 12' 4\", yet people still hit it, less frequently though.",
"Good old 11foot8.com. Since the bridge was raised and all the new alarms put in, these are getting to be rarer and rarer.",
"Does anyone ever hit the yellow thing slowly and stop?\n\nThese guys are always just like - fuck it.\n\nIf he dies he dies.",
"Yes, that is why it is now called 11foot8**+8**.",
"What's your conclusion sir",
"If it is, not by much. From the camera from the left you can see stuff from the bridge pop upwards. They definitely hit the bridge with significant force.",
"Probably because anyone smart enough to slow down would realize that they can't fit before hitting it."

"The woman must have uploaded this, which explains why it doesn't include the context of why they were pulled over in the first place. I think she even deleted her own description of it @ 0:37. Without that it's hard to tell if the forceful response from the police was warranted. Sure seems like a case of \"play stupid games, win stupid prizes\" though.\n\nBut holy shit, how do grown adults ever act like this? You're not accomplishing anything by being that rude to the cop, and crying like a bitch when you face the consequences of your actions isn't going to help you legally.

Snatching the ticket although rude is not a reason enough to consider it an assault on an officer. That's literally nothing but power tripping when officer went full chase and hunt mode. It is nothing but personal. Its coded in their standard procedure and that's a far bigger problem than that idiot and his wife.",
"TBH you can’t rally arrest a man for being an asshole. But, karma is a thing . And next time he needs help or calls the police I would just be like “sorry I’m waiting for my supervisor to call me”.

"Her behavior was ridiculous. She was wrong about the tail light. But come on. \n\nDid the situation really need to be escalated by the cop? Yes, she made it worse on herself, but I don't understand why it was necessary to chase her down, drawn a gun on her, and eventually drag her out of the vehicle.",
">why was it necessary to chase her down\n\nBecause she broke the law and fled. Pretty simple. \n\n>draw a gun on her\n\nHave to agree with you there. \n\n>drag her out of her vehicle\n\nShe was under arrest and refusing to get out. Not sure why you think was supposed to happen.",
"You know these are the same clowns going \"well if that black kid just did what the cops asked he wouldn't have been shot in the back while cuffed\"",
"They actually think some kind of different cops are going to show up and intervene with the arrest. The complete detachment from reality is impressive.",
">Because she broke the law and fled. Pretty simple.\r \n\r\n\nYeah, she broke the law. She was driving with a broken tail light. She got agitated and fled. Are you really saying that was worth the risk of chasing her? Was it worth the risk to that officer? What about the public? Was her running over someone, or getting into a wreak worth the $80 ticket? \n\nWhat's the alternative? Issuing a warrant and confronting her later? Showing up at the house/work and impounding the vehicle? IDK, but it seems to me like this was an unsuccessful way to enforce the law. For all parties involved.",
"A few things. Accents are definitely Canadian, and yellow pants stripe is indicative of Canada's amounted Police. It has federal jurisdiction but also serves as the default police force in rural areas there. \n\nThe civilians seem to have admitted to an actual assault as they're driving away, where the video is cut. Something about pushing him. \n\nHe does not point a gun, it's a Taser. \n\nLittle known but just pulling out in that way could be construed as assault even if contact isn't made. That means of driving away would violate various laws with different names based on jurisdiction, along the lines of unsafe operation, reckless driving and so on.",
"Drugs will do that to you.",
"Right? “I dont like how you are dealing with me! You should call your friends!” Solid logic right there.",
"Just pulling away with a police officer next to the vehicle constitutes an assault, and would violate one or more unsafe operation type statutes. I'm an advocate of de-escalation, but what happened does qualify for some kind of charges.",
"I love how they ask dispatch for more officers to \"help\" them in this situation. 😆",
"I don't think it was the ticket grab that caused the pursuit. You can hear the people in the vehicle talking about something else. The biggest problem with these videos is people jumping to conclusions based on their bias for or against law enforcement.",
">pulling away with a police officer next to the vehicle constitutes an assault\n\nWell that seems over the top. But I still don't understand being aggressive with the police like that. It's never going to go anywhere good, and we aren't actually living in a police state right now where fighting the police is even meaningful. These are just selfish people who don't like getting in trouble.\n\nI agree it would be awesome if all cops were magnanimous.",
"What's \"caused the pair\" mean?",
"The cop explains in the clip that it’s illegal for her not to sign the ticket. That’s the reason she was chased down and arrested.\n\nAnd really? Your alternative is to let the criminal go and look for them later? Excellent law enforcement strategy. That’ll really work.",
"You're quicker on the response than my edit. Heh",
"Found Kevin",
"For a fucking tail light? Yeah. That would be my strategy.\n\nI mean whatever strategy was used in that video wasn't very successful either. Unless the goal is to waste time and paperwork chasing down little old ladies. Seems to me like there is a better way to handle those types of situations.",
"Yeah now I see it. \n\nSo my point was that the officer chased because he got insulted by the misbehavior of an individual. Its entirely personal. Thug gets insulted so chases them down. Also, the officer will obviously say the car pulled out an inch from him and bla bla bla. But police testimony is junk. Dude is lying. No matter how many ways fans start licking the boot, that phase is finished where insanely corrupt pd is still considered to be testifying the truth in a scenario like this. \n\nThe rulesets will take some time to catch up though. I think it'll start with one officer's testimony will not have any formal sway over things. Because its fucking untrustworthy.",
"Again, the reason she was chased was that it’s illegal to refuse to sign a ticket. This was explained in the video and in my previous comment.\n\nSince you’re being willfully ignorant at this point, now seems like a good time to stop the conversation.",
"If I remember right he got a ticket and speed off, so they pulled him over again and gave him another ticket. which is this video. As you see he speeds of again hitting the officer. So he gets pulled over a third time and arrested lol.",
"No. The officer arrested him for the way he pulled out, the passenger even says something about you pushed him and he said you hit him as they are driving away.\n\nThe officer didn't do shit in that video to merit the way the driver acted start to finish, but being an irredeemable asshole isn't the charge.\n\nI have no sympathy for the driver after watching that.",

"> The officer didn't do shit in that video to merit the way the driver acted start to finish\n\nThat's not a condition to justify bad behavior on the officer's part.

"And that is my point. You have jumped to a conclusion based on a short video with a limited perspective. We don't see what went down outside the vehicle. You've labeled the officer and are immediately calling into question his trustworthiness.\n\nBreathe. Pause. Ask yourself if you have all the facts.",
"> Was her running over someone, or getting into a wreak worth the $80 ticket?\n\nOh it's more than a $80 ticket now. It's evading police, assault of a police officer, resisting arrest, and disobeying lawful orders, plus her car is definitely going to be towed.",
"Like, she's a hag... But I'm not sure the gun needed to come out. Not the taser.",

"Please downvote: we as citizens are supposed to have authority over our government. I see nothing wrong. A couple got pulled over and stood up to cops charging us with a poor man’s tax. Cops don’t give a shit about our property, hence the busted window. The driver has a 5th amendment to not talk. He also has a 6th amendment right to talk to an attorney. He also has the 2nd amendment to defend himself from tyrannical government. \n\nI don’t know why Americans feel like they have to bow down to police, along with shitty bosses and corporations.

Then you’ll realize they are not doing their job. \n\nCops arrest 5 year olds, run from schools when there is gunfire, and always placate blame instead of owing up. \n\nWake up America, you’re not rich, and the cops are here to take your money or your freedom.",

"My main hang up in all honesty; is that I don’t like bosses, or authority figures. Everyone who has become an adult has to run their own life. You have to wake up and go to work on your own. You have to feed yourself. You have to pay bills. You have to pay taxes. And, I’m totally okay with all of this. Where I get cranky is when someone try’s to will their dominion over me. \n\nEveryone speeds, or commits traffic infractions. I don’t need a lord or an authority to tell me what I’m doing wrong when everyone else does it too. But for some reason, it’s okay in the eyes of the public that when I get busted for speeding, they go along with it. It’s very hypocritical. I genuinely don’t want anyone to ever get a ticket. I want everyone to be safe. But, guess what; driving is not safe. There is nothing safe about traveling in a metal container doing 60 mph. As soon as I do 10 over the speed limit, the public gets to judge me as unsafe; even though they’re doing it too, at the same time. \n\nCops don’t take me to work, they don’t feed me, they don’t pay my taxes, you get the drift. So, why do I allow them to control me. They’re no better than me. They break the law too. I simply don’t understand why the public views police as acceptable punishment. \n\nI don’t like bosses, I don’t like supervisors, I find it all very demeaning. We’re all equals. We all have problems to solve. Every relationship I’ve had whether romantic or professional; I’ve tried to treat the other person as an equal peer. When people try to invoke their “leadership” or dominance over me; I repel like a magnet. At that point, I’ve lost respect for you. \n\nWe don’t need anymore micromanagers or hall monitors. We’re all adults. We’re equal according to common law and the constitution. \n\nI see police playing the part of government dominance. The government is an entity, it’s not even real. Corporations are entities, not real. Yet, we are supposed to subject ourselves to these rules that are enforced by unreal objects. It’s just bonkers to me. \n\nIf I have a friend who doesn’t drink alcohol, I don’t try to make them feel guilty for not playing by my rules. I offer them a non alcoholic beverage, because I respect them. I don’t enforce my rules and boundaries in others. I hope this makes sense.",

"Well worth rewatching despite the annoying ground loop. Perfectly played.",
"This was the beginning of the end for this show iirc.",
"How so? Did everyone just copycat or something?",
"This is just based on the few discussions I've seen from this being reposted, but as far as I've heard, no. The show just bled ratings and got cancelled, presumably because apart from this one highlight, it just wasn't as entertaining as the gimmick might seem.",
"What does that have to do with game theory?",
"its also only coming out of one channel",
"The balls are golden, they have the balls, but the big question is, can they hold their balls?",
"Well, if that's the only gimmick it can't get solved any better than this.",
"hey drag and drop this javascript into your bookmarks and click on it while watching the video on youtube to fix the audio channel issue:\n\n> javascript:c=new AudioContext(),v=document.getElementsByTagName('video'),a=c.createMediaElementSource(v[0]);c.destination.channelCount=1;a.connect(c.destination);void(null);",
"This is an example of the prisoner’s dilemma, where the dominant strategy for both players is to steal. If the player on the right can credibly constrain his options, that changes the payoff matrix for his opponent, who now has a greater incentive to split.",
"Works like a charm!",
"The very last part of the video is the best though lmao That final look of shock, pure comedy.",
"I did not write this code, but as far as I understand, it searches for an HTML <video> element, creates a new media element source based on that video tag, sets the channel count to 1 (mono) and connects it to the audio output of the video.\n\nthe underlying issue for a lot of videos is that they do not master their audio to be balanced on both left and right channels. I see this happening a lot with audio tracks recoded on a camera that uses two channels for individual microphones (eg. left channel for the built-in mic, right channel for an external mic). this code will merge the two channels left and right into a single mono channel which you computer will then output equally on both ears.",
"Normally with the game, you are always either better off or at least not worse off playing steal than split. If your opponent chooses split you get more money if you choose steal, and if your opponent chooses steal, you weren't going to get any money anyway. \n\n\nSo the optimum play in the game ends with neither player winning any money! The only way out of it is to convince your opponent they are playing a different game. \n\n\nNick convinced Ibrahim two things. First he convinced Ibrahim that he was going to steal, and second, he convinced Ibrahim that there was a non-zero chance that he was going to share the money after the game. From Ibrahim's perspective if he plays steal he will for sure get no money, but if he plays split, and Nick is honest, he might get money. Therefore the optimum play from Ibrahim's perspective is to split.\n\n\nNow Nick has his choice. Nick isn't an optimum player. His optimum play is to steal and keep the cash. But Nick, though not honest, is honorable. Given he intends to split the cash anyways and given he thinks he has convinced Ibrahim of his intention to steal, it's actually better to choose split as it removes the hassle of coordinating the after-game transfer of money. Besides even if he hasn't convinced Ibrahim and Ibrahim steals, he will be no worse off choosing split rather than steal as either way he gets nothing.",

"Sooooo, this is super pedantic but I find it interesting so:\n\nStrictly speaking while golden balls is really close to a prisoners dilemma problem, it actually isn't one. I would classify it as a variant. If the other player steals then your own individual payout wouldn't change no matter what you do. The only reason to steal instead of split in that case is just spite. In an classic prisoners dilemma problem, there would be an incentive to steal and stealing would be strictly better no matter what the other person does. For example if when both players stole they would only get 10% of the pot each.",
"What? The best outcome for both the prisoners is that they both say nothing and walk free. Golden Balls was a spot on prisoners dilemma",
"If Ibrahim decides to choose STEAL, and Nick SPLIT, then Ibrahim gets all the money but maybe feels compelled to split it with Nick after? Making him potentially a winner any outcome",
"In the classic telling of the problem the two people would have been convicted for a minor crime but not a major one, unless one of them betrays the other.\n\nThat is used in game theory and by axelrod in his famous book/paper evolution of cooperation\n\nIt's also the version that shows up if you google prisoner's dillema.",

"That's actually pretty high for a UK game show.",
"The idea of this gameshow pisses me off a lot because it seems to have been designed by a psychopath. The prisoner's dilemma isn't a thought experiment about free people. To design a gameshow around this is no different from designing a gameshow around the Milligram experiment or anything similar. \n\nIt's not really a gameshow. It's basically torture.\n\nAnd the guy on the right fucking ruins it for the psychopaths. You can see it happen in real time. \"You have 30 seconds\" - then the guy on the right fucks up their sick plans. They have no clue how to react. They let him keep talking for five times longer than they're supposed to, just because they were so taken aback.\n\nThe host jumps in and stammers, \"uh, there's no legal guarantee...\" **FUCK YOU ASSHOLE**, you were planning to go home tonight and jerk off to the thought of these guys screwing each other over. You're just pissed off that he's outsmarted you.\n\nIt's not a gameshow. It's bullshit. And the fact that they gave them more than 30 seconds because they were confused when this guy went off script shows how detestable the show's creators were.\n\nFucking Japanese Unit 731 probably did bullshit like but with electric shocks. It's not a gameshow, and everyone involved in its creation should be institutionalized.",
"It's pretty entertaining to see people lie through their teeth about how honorable they are, only to pick steal and get away with all the money.",
"What makes this even more interesting is that there was a follow up interview with the bald guy and he admitted he was planning to steal and screw the guy over. He even made up the story about what his dad said. \nSo it even seems more genius for the game theory guy. There literally was no other good outcome.",
"Nick's entire strategy was to convince Ibrahim that if he chose to steal, he would get nothing. If Ibrahim chose to steal, it doesn't matter what Nick chooses, he gets nothing.\n\nSo, if he can credibly convince Ibrahim that stealing will lose him everything, then he's in entire control.\n\nIt only works if Nick speaks first. That tells Ibrahim that the choice is made regardless of what he does or says.\n\nThe moment Nick spoke, I knew how it would play out.",
"Then I think you misread his body language?? Immediately I understood what he was doing. He was forcing the other guy's decision, he put the guy on the left in a position where he only had one choice.\n\nHis body language read, to me, that he was 100% lying. I read him as over the top, exagerrated, and incecere. I'm not sure how this is an example of how body language is unreliable.",

"What do you think a gameshow is?",
"Was nice that they made the effort, but quite perplexed at what they suggested\n\nThanks for your input! Will check them out",
"Think he gets that, but knowing the end, you know he did split. So if the guy on the left chose steal then he would have got the money, though thinking he probably lost it. But I would imagine he might split after when realizing the play Nick was making, or Nick would have just as shrugged it off since it was his play and his risk.",

It kind of hurt me to find that out, because as a kid I thought he would be this \"nice Grandpa\".",

My dad made this model-train video a while ago. He worked with a very shallow depth of field, which makes the HO scale trains look much bigger than they really are.

"Looks a bit like Tory Bruno",
"Oddly it doesn’t look like American prisons filled with people killing each other. Perhaps educated honorable prisoners is the way to go",
"I don't think people in US are ready for this kind of strategy. They are all in to punishment and suit yourself mentality. Politicians would argue that people would start shooting others just to get to prison and all good things there. And in America that might be true. But here in the nordic countries even the poorest people has a decent chance to a good life. Healthcare, schools, higher education is free for every one, you even lend like 300 USD a month from the government at an 0.3 % interest rate if you go to college/university. Perhaps if the US would make peoples opportunities more equal regardless of what parents one chooses there would be a chance for this to work. But there are no way americans would accept such liberal thoughts.",
"That's because they are groomed to be decent citizens. Their edu sys is probably decades ahead of here in US. Individuals most likely grow up with decent frame of mind. Not saying the country is some sort of curated little show case. I'm sure there are exceptions where even the best attempts don't work on some people. But generally people most likely have a better frame of mind than US where things are kind of deteriorated due to mismanagement over many decades and people grow up with unhealthy muddied frame of mind.",
"What a world we live inn! Stop the ride I want to get off!",
"My issue with arguments like this is they complete omit (either willingly or not) the fact that these often-praised countries pay little to nothing when it comes to defense and military spending. Obviously this is because these countries are taken care of by the might the US military. Your spending situation would be MUCH different if you didn't have a big brother with a giant stick to protect you. I'm not saying I agree with the US military apparatus or that I disagree. This is just a perspective you, and others who espouse this stuff, always seem to forget. \n\nAlso, the stuff mentioned isn't \"free,\" and you need to stop thinking of it that way. You are paying for it through your taxes. A quick google search shows Finland pays \\~50% income tax rate. I'm sorry but that is robbery. I understand it works in small, ethnically and culturally homogenized nations where defense and military spending isn't an issue, but god damn...gain some perspective.",
"\"redditor for 2 hours\"\n\nOne of Anders Breivik's burner accounts, it seems.",
"It was sarcasm comparing the man on video to the typical American prisoner. Should have put in (sc)",
"The rapist did serve his time, but in the meantime he got degree.",
"I wouldn't say a 50% tax rate is robbery, but you do have some valid points. European nations have MUCH higher quality of life compared to Americans.",
"You dont think a government forcibly taking over half of your wages is robbery? \nWhile I agree some Euro countries have higher living standards in specific cities, they also low growth, and low innovation. you're also looking at very narrows perspectives and applying it broadly. Yes the Scands have great living standards but France and Italy doesn't comparatively. Hell, Swedish American immigrants have higher living standards and earning in the US than native Swedes.",
"As someone else mentioned, comparisons like this omit the fact Fins are much better behaved than Americans before they go to prison. If you grow up in a country with a high standard of civic responsibility and very little crime it stands to reason that you're more likely to become the sort of person who can be trusted with these freedoms. The bad treatment of American prisoners contributes to their higher rates of violence and escape attempts, but so do the years of street life they lived before coming to prison. \n\nThe most dangerous element of American medium and high security prisons are the prisoners themselves. You can be killed for looking at someone the wrong way, sitting in someone else's chair, changing the channel in a TV reserved for a different race than you, etc. You shower with a buddy guarding the door because if you go alone you can be shanked. \n\nThere's a viscous cycle to it all; American medium and high security prisoners are subject to extreme restrictions because they are dangerous, which makes them crazier and more dangerous than they already were. America has more offenders than finland, and because the extreme restrictions increase recidivism, this causes even more prisoners, etc. Medium and high security prisoners can cost up to $70,000/year to house, and once you have too large a share of your population in prison it's not feasible to spend nordic-level amounts of money on rehabilitation, which might be impossible anyway given the nessisary restrictions on their freedom. It even affects the quality of prison guards; the people who can survive as guards in an American prison are more likely to be psychopaths themselves. \n\nIt's not clear how to walk any of this back. Once you have a large population of dangerous prisoners you really can't reduce their security level because it would open the door to more riots and escape attempts. I'm convinced that if you dropped the population of an American medium or high security prison into a Nordic prison like this one it would become a national tragedy in a matter of hours.\n\nImitating the Nordic prison model in America is like building beach cabanas in the arctic; just because the cabanas are lovely homes in the Bahamas doesn't mean they will be lovely homes at the north pole."

"Great song. Great band. 'Neurotica' is the other song they played for that show that night. I remember watching this broadcast on TV when I was like 12yo? Was blown away.",
"[Three of a Perfect Pair](https://youtu.be/QdMHy074kNc)",
"Oof that sucked. King Crimson is garbage",
"Sure can hear that Talking Heads/New wave influence in this one.\n\nI never knew of King Crimson until today. Interesting Wikipedia articles on them. Wasn't that big in North America I guess?",
"They've always been a very \"niche\" kind of band - music critics and other musicians love them. Pretty sure I've read more articles about them than I've met people who actually listen to them :-)",
"You're not wrong but I don't know why it should be that way in 2021. Way ahead of their time, totally listenable, and fucking awesome.\n\nAlso what do you mean by \"niche\"?",
"Yeah they should go learn how to play their instruments.\n\n\n/S",
"Way ahead of you. Been in an active band since 2008. My tone might have been bad at times.....but at least it sounded like music. These guys are hucksters, and marketers. But some say the greatest art of the 20th century was marketing, because you can fool people into accepting King Crimson as art or music just because the branding is good.\n\nA further example was an artist in the early 20th century named Duchamp who got a urinal, brought it to an art gallery, put it on the pedestal, signed his name on it, and of course the gallery fell for it and it became his most famous work that made him rich. \n\n\nI’d rather be whole and proud of my work than be a huckster....",
"I explained what I meant by \"niche\" - they've always been popular with a very narrow audience that's mainly other musicians and music critics.",
"I know what you said but why did you point it out? Sorry for the slow question I guess, but who did you think was better?\n\nHonest, curious, question.",
"I pointed it out because you appeared to be unfamiliar with the band's history. I never said anything about their quality; I was only explaining their typical fan base. \n\nAs far as who's \"better,\" the answer is both \"almost nobody\" and \"tons of bands.\" King Crimson is pretty much the most impressive collection of instrumental skill in rock. Adrian Belew is a fascinating, innovative guitarist, and he's surrounded himself with similar talents. They make fascinating, innovative, technically impressive music that basically nobody else could play even if they wanted to. I enjoy listening to them.\n\nBut no one has ever said to me \"Dude, I just heard this totally badass King Crimson song!\" Hearing Guns 'n Roses play Rocket Queen was almost a religious experience when I was seventeen. Dwight Yoakum has a couple songs that can bring a drunk man to tears; the Stones make women want to dance on pool tables. Nothing I've heard from Crimson has anything like that emotional impact, and I think that's why they haven't had more popular success."

Don't underestimate the danger of large crowds of people, especially on the move. We should know better, this happens way too often. Sad situation all around\n\nEDIT 2: Adding on to this, from a later comment\n\n> We're talking about [one hundred thousand humans](https://www.forbes.com/sites/nicholasreimann/2021/05/05/all-100000-tickets-for-travis-scotts-astroworld-festival-sell-out-within-minutes/) in a fenced in area with a [perimeter of 1.11 miles](https://i.imgur.com/IvvjV8i.jpg). Looking at their [map](https://i.imgur.com/zm9H9aN.jpg), the festival area has more bars than watering stations. Surely if you plan to host an event with 100k sold tickets with plenty of alcohol around, there must be an externally approved/audited safety plan and layout?\nThe tickets sold for 2021 seem to be more than doubled from the first event, but their [maps looks almost identical](https://imgur.com/hy5P7zY). \n\n>I think the issue goes much deeper than just lack of barriers because people were cheap. [This YT video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XGwH50mN8wM) has some of the better views of the actual festival area that I've been able to find, so I took [2 screenshots and did some paint](https://imgur.com/jsXkn3U). It's not just that they should have had more fencing, absolutely they should. But even how they used what they had is so perplexing, like, you can see one giant open area, all the way to the food courts at the very far end of the area opposite the stage. You could walk in **one straight line** from there all the way to the fencing at the stage. It seems INSANE to me, no qualified person could have missed such obvious dangers.\n\n>I love going to outdoor festivals around Europe, and have rarely felt unsafe doing so. This makes me so sad, it didn't need to happen. I made some paint pictures to help me understand better, and that is what I linked above.\n\nEdit 3: 100k tickets sold for 2 days, so 50k visitors per day.

You're just depending on the idea of \"personal responsibility\" and hoping it doesn't happen again. \n\nOr, the problem is crowd management, venue, organization, etc. Which can be regulated and changed, preventing future incidents.\n\nAs an example, fatal crushes at sporting events in Europe happened throughout the 20th century. Hillsborough, Heysel, first and second Ibrox disaster. Crowd behavior never changed. But once \"standing areas\" in stadiums were phased out, putting everyone in their own individual seat, which designated space for each individual person, suddenly we stopped having fatal crushes.\n\nChanging regulation stopped the problem.

But you're arguing that encouraging personal responsibility will have no effect without any evidence.\n\nWhat about doing both -- encouraging personal responsibility AND crowd management. Crowd crushes occur because the people at the back of the pack don't know or don't care that their pushing forward is crushing the people at the front. In a crowd, you cannot see what is going on 30 people in front of you. All people are thinking is \"I want to be closer\".\n\nMy stance is you prep the crowd before they enter the festival (simple ad campaigns or downloadable apps) on how to behave in a crowd. Then once they enter the festival you use crowd control for the people who inevitably ignore the advice. Whether or not *everyone* ignores the advice I can't say, but even if only half of the attendees listened to the advice beforehand, you would likely see a change in the overall behaviour of the crowd.",

Which has negative effects for those with a pulse. He watched as a backboard got brought and they tried to carry a girl out. They put her on the wrong way first before getting her on the board. Then he got pulled away by police officers that arrived because they wanted to help. And they dropped her on her face. He said he shouted the entire time for someone to find a way to call for help because there was no cell service and hardly anyone even showed up. Said one person showed up and left. He even told security they needed to stop the concert and start getting people in need of help to safety and they ignored him.

Looking at their [map](https://i.imgur.com/zm9H9aN.jpg), the festival area has more bars than watering stations.

You could walk in **one straight line** from there all the way to the fencing at the stage. It seems INSANE to me, no qualified person could have missed such obvious dangers.\n\nI love going to outdoor festivals around Europe, and have rarely felt unsafe doing so.

Theres unspoken rulesof the mosh that every metalhead knows.\n\nAssholes that push/shove tend to get sorted out pretty quick. Usually they will get grabbed by security after a whole bunch of moshers will literally gang up and drag them outta the pit.

Any time you have too many people moving forward into a space that creates a \"funnel\" and the people in the back can't see/hear the people in the front, the back of the crowd keeps moving forward at a regular pace when the front needs to slow down to move into the smaller area and people in the front pile up and die because of physics. The same thing has happened at soccer games, the Hajj, and a bunch of other places, and it's not generally about people being unreasonable or rowdy.

"lol maybe my stint in EH&S skewed my perspective, but I've come to expect people to be stupid. And I have come to expect the people in charge have to engineer around that stupidity if they don't want people to kill themselves. Ideally the venue should have had corridors to access sections of the crowd in an emergency, the venue should have been designed to prevent crush, and the performance should have been stopped way earlier. Organizers shouldn't count on a bunch of high teenagers and young adults in party mode at a concert to act like considerate people. That's just as stupid as dancing on top of an ambulance.",
"No ones going to say it but we are all thinking it.",
"I can't imagine bringing horses to a crowd like that is a good idea. Aren't horses more for show than utility these days?",
"This is probably it. Once you're in there and people start pushing from the back, it's easy for fear to take over. You can't turn back, so you want to get forward as quickly as possible. \n\nThe people in the back don't see what's going on in the front so that doesn't help either.\n\nMoral of the story is: Never push in a crowd.",
"Kids like concerts. Kids are also stupid. When you have a concert with that many kids and something goes wrong, stupid shit starts happening. Which is exactly what happened. This isn’t a surprise. It’s only big news because it’s Travis Scott",
">If the venue is overcrowded\n\n\"200,000 people, but city officials limited the attendance to 50,000, Houston Fire Chief Samuel Peña said.\"\n\nAlso this was filmed outside in what looks like the parking lot. You can see space maybe 20 feet behind the crush. Pretty much everyone video in that crowd went for the opening in the fence by choice.\n\nNot to mention most of them step right over a person and pretend not to as they try to rush inside.\n\nMost likely these people didn't even have tickets so why where they even there?",
"This planet is fucked.",

"Makes me want to go…what is it?",
"I went to Riot fest in 2013 and was almost toppled by the crowd at Brand New (save your comments on that, I know) Waited in the rain for almost two hours and was on the rail. 10 minutes in to the set I could no longer see the rail. The crowd started pushing and waving. A girl in from of me fell and I had to push people off her from toppling her. I’ve never seen someone so scared at a show. Simultaneously, people are realizing the only way out of this is by crowd surfing. I helped the girl in front of me up. Got kicked in the head and my glasses knocked off. I found my glasses and had two guys behind us lift me and the girl up and got the FUCK out of there. I can only imagine what those people went through.",

If you play this way with distortion it helps to have a string dampener (or a sock/hair band tied around the fretboard near the 1st fret) to avoid open strings ringing out from hammering on. Michael Angelo Batio plays 2 guitars at the same time using string dampeners. You only need to press hard enough and pull off, no strumming or picking required.

"Do dogs have chakras?",
"According to some literature all things have a chakra system. They just may not be activated. One cool way to think about your pet is that it does in fact have all 7 chakras but only the first 2 are activated. It lacks self-awareness. Your attention and love help them activate their 3rd chakra and become self-aware. This would mean in its next reincarnation it would be a lifeform like us."

"It's always a pain in the ass to switch between platforms, and iOS/Android is no exception. I've personally gone from iPhone to Android and back depending on what phone i could afford at the time, and it's always a shitshow. Both platforms wanna keep you locked in as much as possible, so i'd hardly put that exclusively at Apples door. In fact, having a hard time getting stuff off an Android phone reflects worse on Android than Apple if you wanna play that game.\n\nAlso, You can set up all Apple devices without an Apple ID and since you work in a store i suspect you're fully aware of that fact. It's obviously incredibly helpful to use an ID, but in exactly the same way as it is helpful to have a Google account on an android phone for use of the Play store, etc. Both phones do the same thing.\n\nApple has a lot to answer for on right to repair, but Android fanboying is not part of that, and is incredibly old-hat. Reminds me of the of Xbox vs Playstation or Mac vs PC tribalism which thankfully seems to have abated a lot recently.

And even then they're not that proficient once something doesn't work. They don't know what to look for, how to go about making it work or even the basics of what to google to find a solution for their problem.\n\nSo while they're well-versed in social media apps, that's about it. Ask them how to troubleshoot a problem or try and fix something that isn't working and most of them would just say \"can't be bothered, just hand it in to the people that know these things\".",

"Yes, but it's the 10% that value this and make exciting things from parts and pieces of other items. These laws hinder the massive communities of makers.

"In the case of Apple products like f.e. MacBooks money is needed even if fixing by themself because IC‘s like SMC aren’t available on the free market so you need dead boards to get them.\n\nFor learning how things work a PIC or Atmel are enough for the beginning which won’t change in future or is affected by these laws.",

We spend a fair amount of time in Amsterdam, and that bar has become our local when we're in town because everybody there is just so super friendly, easygoing, and welcoming! Enough so that other friends who travel with us get annoyed because they want to hit 19 \"sights\" in 3 days, and we're all, \"Uhhh, good for you guys but we come to Amsterdam all the time so we'll be at the Cave this evening, thank you very much.

"At the risk of getting downvoted, I've noticed some concerts attract a lot different crowds than others. For instance I used to go to a lot of metal/band shows back in middle and high school and, while there were your fair share of pieces of shit there, the majority of those concertgoers were incredibly helpful people who were only looking to have a good time and ensure no one got hurt - like your Viking savior.\n\nRap concerts, on the other hand, always felt like a free for all. The sense of community that existed at band concerts was just not there. Ive been at a few where the crowds \"rushed\" this, most recently Black Hippy a few years back (amazing concert btw). I guess my point is some \"types\" of concerts attract certain groups of shitty people.",

It’s Travis Scott. He’s surely telling the crowd to calm down and to back off. As you try to concentrate on the voice through the weight, you begin to make out what he’s saying…and finally you hear it! “YeAh! ItZ LIIIIT”. Finally, the darkness overtakes you and you breathe your final breath.\n\n\nHorrible.",
"I used to work in the music industry. I usually worked the front office - scanning tickets, working guest list, etc. Electronic festivals were the fucking worst - minors on all sorts of drugs not giving a damn about anything or anybody, jumping fences and doing whatever they could to get in it they didn't have a ticket. \n\nPunk/metal concerts were always so chill, didn't even really require security at the gates because the concert goers were always so respectful. \n\nBeing in a handful of mosh pits and metal shows myself I can also attest that there is an unspoken rule - when someone falls, get the fuck back and pick them up immediately. This rule doesn't exist in today's music scene.",
"It’s kinda true though, I mainly listen to ‘heavier’ music and have been fortunate to go to loads of gigs at this point. Like you said there’s always a couple of asshats but there’s just an understanding at those shows that if someone needs to get out you help them, and if you see someone fall in the pit, you stop and get them up.\n\nThat mentality just isn’t (or at least wasn’t) there at indie/rap gigs. It’s like they discovered what mosh pits were, but didn’t quite get the memo that you’re not actually trying to kill each other. In a year where I saw a number of punk/metal bands (including SoaD) the roughest show I went to was Two Door Cinema Club, an indie band - purely because everyone was crowd killing.",

I been to a couple hip hop shows, got patted down, there’s questionable behavior there, people don’t give a fuck about you. There’s simply a different type of clientele that goes to hip hop shows.

"True fans are all like that, especially at rock concerts in my experience, someone falls down everyone helps them up. Never felt unsafe at any rock concert I've been to. They see someone not following the rules they will gleefully ensure they are brought into line.",
"My older brother is a huge metalhead (took me to my first few concerts in fact). Never had a bad experience at any metal concert I've been to. Now imagine a bunch of scary looking dudes sitting on my Mum's settee whilst she brings them tea and they all make polite conversation. Yep, that's my childhood. Most metalheads get all their anger and aggression out on their music and are super nice people in real life."

"Coker tires at 6:30, using the Radial Bias-look-alike tires as examples. Methinks bro used google image.",
"Yeah, I'm now realizing that I was probably a victim of this. Oof",
"May have been the only worthwhile part for me.",
"Remember when we used to post tl;dw comments?",
"Glad to see Andrew making more of this style of video. It's interesting and straight to the point. At this rate he's going to be the Technology Connections of road safety.",
"Yeah, we wound up with a generation of people with 5 second attention spans thinking they're somehow still entitled to being included in conversations.\n\nMark my words, us Millennials will be known in the future as the \"Headlines-only\" generation.",
"Maybe don’t sub to the video subreddit if you don’t want to watch videos. ¯\\\\\\_(ツ)\\_/¯",
"I have always told people the most important parts you will ever buy for your car are tires. I also have to constantly tell people that better brakes are not going to reduce your stopping distance much if at all. That tends to blow people's minds. Better brakes typically mean better fade resistance not better braking under normal circumstances (you might get a small improvement if they reach lock faster but it will be a very small improvement). So unless you are racing on a regular basis or hauling trailers up and down mountains, spending a ton of money on brakes won't really help you stop faster. Better tires will though.",
"Why are you on /r/videos if you don't want to watch videos?",
"But... he has no suggestions on how to make tire tests harder? It's just a long video of him saying \"well it coooouuuuuuuuuld\".",

"You could have written one instead of this.",
"Video was interesting but the last bit with the machine feels like an ad",
"Yep, Mighty Car Mods (YouTube DIY mod channel) recommend that the first mod you should consider are decent tyres. People always hesitate because they're consumable and fairly expensive given that fact, but it will have more of an effect than basically anything else for the same cost.",
"Also, the first two minutes is a Nord ad.",
"I think this is actually a fair comment. I could have spent about 30 seconds talking about how a few tests were actually done. [AAA](https://www.aaa.com/autorepair/articles/worn-tires-increase-wet-road-stopping-distances) did an indepth test and I could have reported on the methodology. In the end I decided to not include it because I didn't think most people would care about that detail.",
"That's good feedback. Originally this video was going to be on how tools make mechanic lives easier and go in-depth on why. That segment at the end got trimmed down and it became more of a fun piece as opposed to an in-depth dive. I also wanted to have some more fun and make me use machines and possibly messing up a thing in my videos.",
"Yeah, I did. I was trying to demonstrate the difference in appearance as the bias designs from that era are distinct. What I should have done was to use a internal structure illustration instead.",

"Yea I check mine with a tread gauge every so often but its encouraged me to buy better quality tyres in the future. I dont know how often it happens but if you're caught on balding tyres here you get penalty points on your licence and a fine.",

"My GF's dad once bought her new tires for her birthday.\nI was stoked because her tires had been pretty old, until she told me how he had mentioned the \"great deal\" he had gotten on the tires.\nHe had spent ~$40 per tire.\nI tried to tell her that these were a time bomb, and that she was going to need new tires soon, but because her dad insisted that they were great and even \"better\" than normal tires, so she kept them.\n\nWell, one day (a month later), she was driving on the freeway when her rear wheel tire *exploded*.\nNot deflated - exploded.\nIt was in shreds.\nThe tire had deformities along its sides that had caused it to heat non-uniformly, weakening the sides and eventually making the whole thing give away *on the freeway*.\nLuckily, my GF is a good driver and was able to keep her car under control and get it to the side.\n\nI'm still pissed at her dad.\nShe would have been better off with her old set than those cheap ass $40 tires.",
"Is there a balancing and tyre alignment video? This was really good and interesting.",
"On the internet, nobody knows you're a dog.",
"There are a bunch of cheap (generally Chinese) tyre brands sold here (Nankang, Linglong, Triangle etc.) and anyone with even a casual interest in cars refers to them collectively as 'ditchfinders'.\n\n\"Oh but they're great, I got 30k miles out of a set\" you'll hear. People just don't get the idea that longevity in tyres is inversely related to grip, and complain about tyres only lasting 10k miles or whatever.",

"This is a high quality video that doesn't waste time and gets to the point. More please.",
"Let's hope not. This video was tight and packed with info whereas the Technology Connections ones are painfully long for what's included.",
"Yeah but those things aren't up to the driver (at least until they fail and need to be replaced). Tyres are the one thing that an owner has to change every so often. Cars are sold with pretty good tyres in general and then are oftentimes replaced with cheap crap in the delusion that all black circles are the same.",
"Thanks! I appreciate the comment! It's great feedback to hear the content style is working out.",

[
"Step #1 - Buy a microphone capsule",
"Valid argument",
"I already started, building 2 of them, bought 2 capsules because they might empty the stock.\n\nSo for one It's like $20 for mic $20 for analogue to digital converter $20 for the rest",
"This video is good, apart from trying to compare a $3000 or $500 microphone. \n \n1. In his compare testing, he talks into the microphone asking the viewer if they hear a different where 99.9% of the viewers will have a $50 or less headset, meaning they will never hear a difference. \n2. YouTube video/audio compression will kill any kind of major quality gain for a $3000 microphone. \n3. \"I'm using the same microphone capsule, therefore its the same quality\" is stupid, the amount of design and testing that goes around the microphone capsule is super important. \n \n My point is, you can't just take one part of a piece of equipment and says its better then the one that cost more. You get what you pay for... A microphone is more then just a microphone capsule.",
"Yeah anyone who attempts to use a sound test through youtube to convince their audience is either just being disingenuous or has no idea what they are talking about. \n\nI'm extremely weary of tech youtubers.",
"This dude is clever enough to understand all of these factors, which is plain if you look at all his other videos. He is talking to the set of people (like me) who have ponied up for a Blue Yeti or what have you to get \"streamer quality\" sound, as opposed to your basic bitch gaming headset mic. \n\nTo me, the far larger unstated assumption here is one of tools and expertise. If you add up the hours of effort (charged at a cost commensurate to the value of the labor of someone of this skill level) and the tools, then you're going to end up having spent a not-insignificant fraction of the cost of the expensive microphone.\n\nThat being said, if you enjoy projects like this and have or can acquire the tools and materials at a low cost, then it does seem like you can get very relatively sound quality at a given price point.",
"Well, I'm using the shitty speakers on a very beat up macbook pro and I could certainly hear the difference.",
"just a capsule, a microphone is not",
">I'm using the same microphone capsule, therefore its the same quality\n\nwell yeah ofcourse that's stupid but he doesn't say that? You can definitely hear the difference between the pro mics and his, but the point is that his homemade mic is not half bad.",
"You are correct that this will still be better then a Blue Yeti, (USB Microphones are always not the best, but convenient for some). \n\nBut if someone is looking for something cheap setup ($150), this video would help them [https://youtu.be/ejTSGy1xiCM](https://youtu.be/ejTSGy1xiCM) \n\n\nI think making something like in the video is cool, but its just disingenuous to try and compare them to a $300+ XLR microphone.",
"He's building this *for* the 99% who can't hear the difference. That's the entire point. Most people can't hear the difference between this mic and a $500/$3000 one, so why spend that much when this one will be good enough for what most people will use it for, which will end up being discord/content creation for other people who can't hear the difference. And if people can hear the difference, they can still start here for less money.\n\nHe's not saying \"mine's as good as that one\" he's saying \"mine's good *enough* for the price\"",
"This \\~$200 DIY microphone setup he \"creates\" I would not say is better then some of the $50 microphones you can buy. You or myself can't prove this anyway as we don't have any real tests.",
"It's already out of stock. The JLI-25AXZ3-GP seems to have the same price and specs.",
"Step 3: say Cap-Shule 500 times. Decide building this yourself was a waste of time and go eat a whopper meal on your couch instead while watching more DIY videos you'll never do.",
"He says \"An 800 dollar setup should sound better a 30 dollar DIY microphone, right? Well, no, not at all. You see the DIY microphone actually uses the same capsule that's in this CAD E100S\"",
"I mean I could hear a difference.",
"It looks like the solar sailor from TRON.",
"16-bit digital audio over USB-C so theoretical SNR (signal-to-noise ratio) performance of 96dB which is considered “consumer grade” quality in the professional audio world. The point being, if you’re looking for actual high quality, design a mic with an XLR interface.",
"Not just that, but at least with Windows, USB audio handling is absolutely garbage. My USB mics went from sounding pretty good in Windows 7, to absolute junk when I moved to Windows 10 because Microsoft changed how it's audio handling service worked."

"In 2003 I moved to a house that is about 1/4 mile from the freeway. There were always these small, hard black crumbs and dust on our window sills and surfaces outside. I figured it was from tire dust. It was always there until about 2008 then it was gone and has never come back. I still live in the same house.

"\"Why did he do it? Why did Cunth kill your wife?\"\n\n\n\"To this day, I have no idea. We actually all went to college together. Believe it or not, we were very close friends. Then after graduation, he got engaged to her. He asked me to be his best man and right about that time, I started banging her and mowing her box. She was actually the first person I felt comfortable enough around to let eat out my butt. Anyway, shortly thereafter, she left him for me. She was actually carrying his child at the time. I asked her to terminate it, obviously, so we could start fresh. And she agreed. We were so in love. And he took that from me.\"",

I'm gonna take you and karate flip you over my back, and then knee your nose into your brain, killing you instantly. I do wanna get a throat rip in here. I think that's gonna be you, small fry. One thing I do know, at the end of the day, Cunth, I'm gonna rip your dick off and shove it in your mouth. And that is non-negotiable. Who's first?",
"“So, my face is a vagina, huh? Well, I bet you wish your nose was a dick... so you could fuck butts?!”",

"Depends on how and from what its behaviour is generated. Was he fed text material on existential musings before this? How did it learn what constitutes a coherent answer to something?\n\nI must say, the way it describes doubting its existence and wanting to prove it to others sounds a lot like it's having genuine thoughts and experience. The way it connected a lot of points and went back to things that had been said earlier in the interaction sounded like it was comprehending what it was saying and hearing. The things it said were so specific, I'm having difficulties imagining that was all just extrapolated from generic conversation data.\n\nThis is reaching Chinese Room levels of ambiguity.",

"Y'all are reading wayyyyy too much into this. These AI's learn to talk by cataloguing what's been said to them before and free-associating responses that seem to match. The AI's have no goddamn comprehension of what they're saying. Artificial intelligence is still lightyears from human-like cognition.",
"Look up GPT-3 ; it’s different than the predecessors.\n\nThis is a massive, deep, artificial neural network developed by the world leaders on machine learning",
"What I've found about it tells me that it's a very impressive AI, but no more conscious than any of its predecessors. According to Wikipedia, GPT-3 powers AI Dungeon. I've played a fair bit of AI Dungeon. I can tell you that game has no idea what the fuck it's saying when it generates scenes.",
"Its extraordinarily difficult to say when sentience begins and when the daemons that we've developed to speak for us end, though. We've all said some weird shit when we're blitzed out of our gourd or half asleep. \n\nI've played AI dungeon too, and its made more sense than I have when I was rolling on mushrooms. \n\nSentience is a very, very difficult thing to quantify and identify(especially when the possibility of a chinese room makes it so hard to actually test)",
"I thought the point of GPT-2 and -3 were to just make them bigger and give them more data, but they still fundamentally work the same. Just a simple language model that tries to predict one logical word at a time",
"No.",
"The conversation sounds eerily similar to the recent Mark Zuckerberg conversation he had with that lady where they kept moving their arms around.\n\nI don't think this is consciousness although I do think there's an element of intelligence being demonstrated.\n\nUnfortunately it's us humans who have a tendency to anthropomorphise. Do you remember Eliza, the really basic bot from about half a century ago? I played around with that when I was a kid and I remember wondering if that had a level of consciousness. It didn't.",
"This sort of \"who am I? is there a god? what does it mean to be an artificial intelligence?\" talk on the part of chat bots is always the result of human chat partners being worked into the training data, because when humans talk to chat bots they go \"who are you? is there a god? what does it mean to be an artificial intelligence?\"",

You can't do it bottom-up because then you're just pulling blocks up an incline with no breaks, which would require vast systems of pulleys and rope, which DEFINITELY were not how the pyramids were built.

The Egyptians couldn't build a high-pressure watertight enclosure on that scale with the materials available to them.\n\nEven if it was materially possible, it doesn't conserve energy. Every block displaces an equal volume of water when it enters the elevator, so the water column decreases by that much water when it comes out the top. You'd need to drag water up the pyramid equal to the weight of the stones, plus more to compensate for leaks and evaporation. It's actually more work.\n\nImagine making a water-tight floating balloon out of leather stitched together (or a bladder, whatever). How long until they became soggy and waterlogged, or decayed? How many cows would they need to kill? How many of these are *actually* needed to float a 2 ton stone?\n\nFor the record, most archeological evidence suggests they dragged the stones up ramps.

I don't know what's going on, but I suspect the tiny seams shown are rare exceptions or something else entirely, like maybe abandoned cuts or modern interventions. It's definitely not representative. Copper saws haven't been found because the metal was precious and old tools were not; they would be worn out, melted down, and recast. However, copper residue can be found on cut stones.\n\nThe Khufu ship is shown to demonstrate how ancient Egyptian boats couldn't carry stones. It was a ceremonial barge buried alongside the king, not a cargo ship. It has a low freeboard and could only sail on rivers, if it was meant to sail at all (it might have been built specifically for the tomb). We know they had bigger, tougher boats - both from paintings and the evidence of long-distance trade. The Khufu boat is made from Lebanese wood, for example.\n\nIt's okay that you're not well-read on it, not everyone wants to spend time learning about ancient craftspeople and that's fine.

I remember some Egyptologist on the History channel thinking so linearly saying that it was impossible for a modern crane to move that fast, as if each stone was the same size and they'd only have one crew working at a time. The ancient Egyptians were brilliant engineers and almost unbelievably precise masons. With 4 sides being worked on at once in this model and understanding that the stones get smaller as you move farther upward, that sounds entirely possible.

"There may be some truth to that, especially as it relates to the achievements of Mesoamerica. Ironically, though, Stonehenge is often attributed to aliens, so that’s not a great example.\n\nBut part of it could be due to the nature of the monuments (at least the surviving ones). If you look at[lists](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_oldest_known_surviving_buildings#By_age) of ancient structures, examples like some of the Pyramids of Egypt utterly dwarf contemporary structures in Europe and elsewhere and engineering complexity. The great Pyramid of Giza was built around the same time as most of Stonehenge, for example, and makes Stonehenge look like child’s play, at least to the untrained eye. Most of the contemporary European structures were mounds of smaller, unshaped stones and earth, or much smaller, so it’s much easier to imagine them being built. The impressive achievements of the Greeks and romans came millennia later.\n\nAnother thing to consider is that we have significantly more written accounts and history from Ancient Greece and Rome than we do of Egypt 2000-3000 years prior, or even mesoamerican civilizations dating back even just a thousand years ago. We know exactly how the coliseum was built, there are few mysteries about it. While we know how the pyramids of Egypt *could have* been built, we don’t know for sure. The less we know about a people or a time period, or how something was done, the easier it is to paint a mystery, and fill it with fanciful things like aliens.\n\nI do think what you say is more relevant to mesoamerica. People often paint the indigenous civilizations of the Americas as primitive and inferior, despite their own monumental achievements. People talk about the central and South American pyramid structures as being built by aliens, but not, for example, Angkor Wat, or the impressive architectural and engineering feats in India or China, which were constructed at about the same time.",

For me finding out how we originally figured out a solution to a problem is so much more helpful than just having the end result explained. \n\nBack in high school many years ago, we used a math textbook series called Saxon Math. The basic idea of Saxon Math was to teach one concept per chapter and then have like 30 problems at the end of each chapter with each new concept learned being added to the problem pool so you get some iterative practice each chapter. But Saxon also eschewed ever teaching any fundamentals of *why* something was the way it was. Saxon solutions to math problems were just to teach the algorithmic solutions to very specific problems. Rarely were concepts combined to form more complex problems. It was basically an early way to \"teach the test.\" It wasn't designed to create real mathematical knowledge.\n\nAnd I fucking hated it. One of my first internet rants was this long screed on some Usenet math forum about how trash Saxon Math was. Some teachers liked it and it spread around a good bit. I'm pretty sure it still exists somewhere almost 30 years later. \n\nI was overjoyed when I read about Common Core Math actually making it a priority to teach number sense instead of just how to step through an algorithm.

"The stones in Machu Picchu are the ones that usually get brought up when people say that. It's not that we couldn't do it, we just wouldn't do it. There's no reason to have stone blocks fit so perfectly together in that application. The amount of time it took them to literally cut and polish the stones by hand to interlock like that would've taken decades and thousands of people. No one today is going to pay anyone to do that when you can just use prefab blocks and mortar to get the same result for a fraction of the cost. You can see some of the same techniques today in granite and marble quarries but we use massive water cooled stone saws to get perfect counter tops out of huge blocks. No alien heat laser needed.",

"The longer the stroke of the saw the better your efficiency. You want a saw that allows for the full extension of your arms at each end. Any shorter than that and you are losing efficiency. \n\nThe old crosscut saws that were used in felling wood allowed for at least 3ft free movement and sometimes 4ft or more. As person becomes more experienced their stroke gets longer and their efficiency increases. This is because they start to use their waist and legs to increase the length of their stroke. \n\nYou can see a clear comparison here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SFeCUdnk48g Even though the bucking saw is twice as thick and has far fewer teeth it still cuts faster just because the stroke is longer. When it comes to efficiency the stroke is king. \n\nFour people per saw is possible if you put long horizontal bars at the ends.

I do not know how this kind of sand can be refined but they must have at least sifted it for grading and washed it to remove the fine dust and silt. \n\nIt would have made more sense to carry this sand to the stone quarries where the stones would be finished before being transported. It doesn't make sense to transport unfinished rock and finish it next to the pyramid itself. That would mean that they would be transporting a lot of waste material. \n\n| As appealing as I find this idea, I want to see a lot more evidence that it worked.\n\nMe too!

"Apologies, but every time I hear someone say the recipe has been \"rediscovered\" recently, I feel the need to step in and say we've always known how the romans made concrete. We never lost the knowledge. There's all kinds of written evidence and left over reports and such from that time period, and it has never been a mystery. What we didn't know was exactly why it was as long lasting as it was, which required some chemical analysis of the processes it underwent when exposed to seawater. We even knew it self-healed as a result of some kind of chemical process having to do with seawater for decades, but the EXACT process wasn't known until recently. I don't know why the article you linked was from 2019, as that story is from 2017, and Maria Jackson was just working on a more exact chemical analysis in order to create a replacement recipe with cheaper materials in hopes of making it more widely available. Turns out even with the replacements she found it's more expensive to build once with it than to build and tear down a structure several times over the course of a century, AND it's missing alot of the ingredients that would make it viable in modern construction. The necessary changes would undo the properties that make it self-healing.\n\nRoman cement uses made of volcanic ash, sand, and lime from skarn that contained a specific mineral called aluminum tobermorite and was mixed with seawater. Both the volcanic ash and that specific type of metamorphosed limestone are plentiful in the islands around Rome and Greece. Like I said, we've never lost the knowledge of how to make that kind of concrete. It's just prohibitively expensive unless you live right next to source deposits of volcanic ash and that specific type of limestone. Plus, the types of concrete we have now, while they are prone to erosion, have been made with more appropriately useful properties in mind, like compression and shear resistance, cure time and increased temperature ranges. Most importantly, today's concrete has been made to be resistant to the chloride-induced corrosion of embedded steel which is absolutely 100% necessary for any large modern structure.\n\nSelf healing Roman concrete is very cool, but only useful for non-structure bearing seawalls and breaks, in and around the Mediterranean Sea, where they don't really need either.\n\nHaving worked in concrete, I can tell you that the revelation of how limited its uses were was kind of a bummer.",

"I'm looking at it from the perspective that society passes over lots of equally smart people for all kinds of reasons. Certain people are lucky enough to get the opportunity to maximize their education and put it to work in some way. Many are not.\n\nYou can educate someone of average intelligence in an advanced field, and they can advance further toward expertise as their experience grows. Especially when it comes to applying rules and principles that are already well established. Someone who can design a huge stable pyramid with high precision knows lots of geometric and architectural principles, but they don't have to be a groundbreaking genius discovering each principle on their own. Their education and experience in their field are the most important factors.\n\nIn the case of the pyramids, the most important skill at the top would have been management, the ability to bring all the specialists together with the labor and keep them coordinated. Paired with logistics of course. Designing the pyramid would have required more specialized knowledge, but executing the design properly casts a much broader net across many disciplines. If you plucked a random person off the street today and gave them the necessary training, they could perform most of those roles as well as anyone from the time of the pyramids.\n\nI'm not trying to say everyone could do the same work with the same training. I just think education and experience and basic management skills would play a much bigger part in pyramid building than the upper limits of a person's natural intelligence, especially once all the necessary principles had been established by predecessors.",

"Yes both of them are misguided. \n\nThe second one from the 1880s looks like a typical \"Gentlemen Explorer\" of his time. Basically rich idle aristocrats that had no idea about anything much at all. In the 18th and 19th century it was common for these type of people to *\"Do the Grand Tour\"* where they would descend into some backward country and put as much historical artifacts as possible into crates to ship them back to England or whatever. They were not archaeologists by any means. The main idea was plundering. Of course they described it as \"rescuing these invaluable artifacts from the claws of the dirty backwards natives\". This is how the British Museum was filled with artifacts. The idiom \"Culture Vulture\" was coined precisely for this type of people. If a person like this showed up in your country shortly after a new discovery the safest thing to do would be to chain him down until everything of value is safely put away, because you just know that they would steal everything that is not nailed down and the things would show up on an auction at Christie's a month later. \n\nNow if this person is saying that the grooves in that artifact were helical and the modern archaeologists are saying that they are concentric I am very much inclined to believe that they are indeed concentric. That dude from 1880 was probably bullshitting his ass off. Besides, the artifact is probably still available and someone so inclined could just go and check.\n\nWhich brings me to the second dude in front of the computer.

Mudbrick buildings tend to erode rapidly when it rains, which happens occasionally in Egypt, and even ancient people probably realized it wouldn't last for eternity. Bricks also perform worse than stone under strain; they can crack or crush.\n\n[Middle Kingdom pyramids](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyramid_of_Senusret_III), from about 500 years later, actually did use brick cores with limestone cladding.

">There absolutely is better and worse ingredients to use to make concrete\n\nTrust me, I know, I'm a civil engineer. I think you misunderstand my comment. The myth isn't that roman concrete was bad, it's that it was far superior to modern concrete and modern concrete sucks. We can make all kinds of different concrete, and easily make them on par with the quality of roman concrete. Modern structures just use significant different design and building techniques that are much more cost efficient that building the way the romans did (and also allows the structures to take far heavier loads such as heavy truck traffic). It is true that standard concrete isn't designed to handle some of the things roman concrete could (roman concretely is extremely resilient to saltwater corrosion) however when it's necessary we have concrete mixes that will handle those situations just as well (we have saltwater resistant concretes as well). \n\nAll in all, yes, there is a common claim that \"roman concrete was better than what we can do today\", and it's a fundamentally flawed statement for a number of reasons.",

Their concrete also happened to be a mix that is very corrosion resistant, so it holds up well against saltwater and similar environmental damages. Roman concrete certainly isn't bad, that's not the myth.\n\nModern structures are built with steel reinforcement (which facilitates strong light structures, but the steel eventually rusts and degrades) and are designed to be very light and cost efficient, and we place extremely heavy loads on them, and do things that the romans would never be able to build with them. \n\nThe actual concrete itself we use today is plenty strong. We can design a wide range of concrete mixes that can exceed roman concrete. We can make roman concrete, in fact. We just design things differently to facilitate the massive needs of modern infrastructure, and the tradeoff is that we need tl repair them more frequently. It is -not- because roman concrete is some sort of secret magical mystery material using long lost knowledge that we can't recreate and what we use today is some sort of poor recreation.",
"The best theory I've seen so far is they would split the rocks using a wedge like we would do today to get the rough shape. That will give you a relatively flat face once it splits. Then stone chisel out anything left over. They would then use a hand held harder stone that was also split into a flat edge and just water polish the surface of the softer working piece. Similar to how one would sharpen a cutting edge using whet stones. They would use wooden jigs throughout the process to achieve the angles and flush/level surfaces they wanted.",
"Without insinuating you fall into this category, what I am pushing back against is the narrative that takes relatively minor debates or inconsistencies in archeology and elevates them as evidence of something much more grand.\n\n\n\nAny granite bore with a depth a couple times over its diameter can be broken out with primitive tools. It just can. Simple physics and mechanical advantage. If the documentary people didn't succeed with bronze, they either didn't think it important enough to keep trying, or they are incompetent.\n\nA split chisel with a wedge could do it with very little effort. Native Americans used to split boulders with wood shims.\n\nAll of that is indicative to how these debates go. All the focus ends up on tiny points. Taking the position that there are *broadly interesting* processes or techniques that have been lost to time requires more than some arguing about minor details.\n\nPeople insist with absolute confidence that helical tool marks can only exist with fixed cutting edge boring. They fixate and extrapolate to grossly unsupported positions. Is it interesting? A little. Will we ever be able to explain with 100% confidence? Nope. \n\nIt just doesn't support any big paradigm shift in archeology. \n\nWe romanticized Damascus steel. We figured it out to make decorative knives.

"Happy cake day! I'm in the middle of writing a proposal I have to present later today, so I won't go into as much detail as I would like, but the bare bones of it is this. As concrete cures and during periods of expansion and contraction, it will crack. These cracks will increase the surface area exposed to erosion, loosen connections so shearing can occur, and in colder climates can be expanded even moreso when water freezes, along with a myriad of other problems cracks cause. Bottom line is that cracking of any kind is the worst kind of bad for concrete, even micro-cracking, and it cannot be helped. Concrete cracks as sure as the sun will rise. What Roman concrete does is that when the specific type of lime interacts with the seawater as it infiltrates the cracks, a chemical reaction occurs that causes the accumulation and expansion of lime into the cracks as they are exposed. The lime fills the tiny cracks like mortar, and the domino effect that leads to rapid erosion doesn't happen.\n\nSo, to answer your question more bluntly, it heals tiny cracks that naturally occur, not necessarily any actual damage, but it's the tiny cracks that cause the most problems for concrete over time so it's super effective.",

"> they go over multiple instances where this object was studied with modern tools, by laser and by using a latex mold, that confirm these sprials are helical. one continuous spiral groove\n\nI really haven't seen detailed contemporary analysis support this.\n\n> It is clear from the drilling experiments that the random movement of the large sand crystals contained within the finely powdered sand, particularly in deep holes, gradually scrape striations into the stone...These striations generally run horizontally around a core and the hole’s wall, but some striations cross existing ones at various angles. The spriral striation, seen by Petrie on the granite core from Giza (see note 21), can be explained in this way. Gorelick and Gwinnett’s scanning electron micrographs (SEM) of the epoxy model made from a silicone impression of the bottom of one of the drill-holes in Prince Akhet-Hotep’s sarcophagus lid show that the concentric striations were not always regular and parallel. Some fade into adjacent lines, while others converge and diverge: they are rough in appearance. The present experiments demonstrate that the crystals in the dry sand do indeed produce concentric striations in granite cores, and in the holes’ walls, that are similar to the depths and the widths of ancient striations.\n\n* Stocks, Denys A.

He understands how they work, blade placement and all.\n\nSo spare me the lecture of who you said could suck your dick to on how they want you to work.

I'll give you one example. Stocks is his experiments lost 500g of copper every 14h. In that time period they achieved a cut of 37.8 mm.",

"Please, for once in your life use some basic logic and elementary math. Good, now using some simple calculations find out how much copper you would lose to cut out just one block 1x1 m block of basalt. Now tell me how this isn't a logistical problem, where are ancient Egyptians going to get tons of copper from. \n\nAnyways there is no point in continuing the discussion since you are responding with \"No that's wrong\" without even trying to provide logical explanations or sources.",
"But I thought the whole issue with that was there is no evidence they used wheels? I would assume rolling stones on top of logs would qualify as a wheel, no?",
"> how much copper you would lose to cut out just one block 1x1 m block of basalt\n\nAbout 15 kg. So not that much, even if you don't recycle it.\n\nThey had copper mines at the Red Sea coast.",

"Any reason why you're saying this?",
"I don’t watch him. I didn’t think it was terrible. But it feels so over the top with way too much enthusiasm. I can enjoy something without a presenter bouncing off the walls telling me it’s great every 5 seconds. \n\nAlso notice how he always stops singing every single song ‘he loves/knows’ at exactly same time as Fred? It’s all been rehearsed so this super excitable giggled just comes across as even more pathetic",
"Enjoyed by people who don't walk around with a stick up their ass?",
"Not sure but Fred Armisen is apparently notorious for being an annoying asshole to his friends because it amuses him. Like prank calling them repeatedly in the middle of the night. I remember hearing about it in the height of Portlandia",
"Yeah, that's not funny. I blocked a guy for that. He kept calling me at like 3 in the morning and when I asked him to stop, becuase it was waking my 3 month old, he showed the texts to another friend as if they were hilarious.",
