Leave these poor pelicans and their choice of lunch alone, sheesh.

Where do you get ads if you're using ad blocking?

Youtube, and in spam folders.

As long as the 4 is random!

Windmills are older than calculus, so that's just not true.


Inefficient windmills are older than calculus. Efficient windmills need aerodynamic theory to calculate a good blade design. It's quite difficult to do that. It took several decades to scale up windmills.

(A small wind turbine is like a propeller in reverse. A large wind turbine is not, because wind speed varies across the blade circle enough that those stresses dominate the design. It took decades to debug this, and make large wind turbines stable under high winds.)


I'm not sure blocking it is gonna make it film you less.


Heh, you got me there. But, it seems like the only legal way to make them unreliable. Have considered turning it upside down, covering or spraying it with paint, or just straight up picking it up and putting it in my van and driving it out to the middle of nowhere, but pretty sure I'd only be able to pick off a few of them before I picked up serious charges.

Mebe could design a sort of cattle guard like snare to embed in my driveway that passes humans, but eats hoverboard wheels.


put a cardboard box over them

Have a look in the settings lol


I really like her, but man I find Michael unbearable.

It also just feels too fake to me. I know they already knew the info they just had a strong reaction to, but they're reacting strongly on purpose for the sake of being engaging. I didn't find it annoying to start with, but it got more grating as I tried more episodes.

I recall in one episode she says "That's amazing" or something to that effect, to a fact regarding fluid dynamics. She has a PhD in fluid dynamics. She already knew whatever that fact was.


I feel like they're pretty self-aware about it. I dont mind it, it keeps the episodes engaging and family friendly.


But I mean, fluid dynamics is amazing. It still gives me frisson when certain ideas are reminded to me. I think she's completely honest with reactions, she loves science. Many of us share her enthusiasm and I love seeing hers.


I seem do to about 1000 searches a month, though I'm not sure if that's also including my partners usage.

Less than 10 searches a day is crazy to me :O

But I have quite PC-centric hobbies, I suppose.


Just wanna point out that this sort of statement only really applies to the anglosphere. As in "medical students the world over can generally only speak english and their native language, so they can either apply for studies in their home country or an english speaking country, and some try to go to the US".

Not every country is in contention, as even if, for example, Hungary has the best medicine program, very few people are gonna learn Hungarian just to attend the university. The same argument applies for every country which requires a non-english language for admission.
