    so a month ago I came across this super interesting video about mount baekdu:

    It is a new channel that just skyrocketed with extremely high quality vids.

    I came across another vid about volcanoes, and turns out that this is the same guy’s previous channel.

    The guy published videos for 2 years, racked up 500k subscribers, but then decided to make a new channel in late 2020. Why?? I’m so confused.. his last video has an extremely low view count, that’s true.. but 500k subs! That’s gotta count for something!

      this video:
      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NrbdYcNTo7Y

      lists two previously published videos in the ending cards (15:03 mark), but the card links are deleted, and only one of those two is actually published in the youtube channel. My guess is that maybe the author had to take down Part 2 “Mega Eruptions” video due to some problem (errors in information presented?) and maybe that was the reason to start a new channel

      when compared to kurzgesagt..

      kurzgesagt is very mainstream, easy to digest
      with this guy, i need to take notes
      like i’m shocked and super thrilled at the stuff being presented mid-video
      but the guy explained theory like 5 minutes earlier about how they happen
      and then goes through like 4 examples
      and i’m like “okay what did he say about plume volcanism? because supposedly that’s why they are located under hawai… shit i need to rewind”
      but even though i’m lost the visuals is spectacular
      i think children will get turned off by these videos – a little bit too much theory and abstract graphs instead of friendly birds- but i think that’s the appeal
      i have so many questions after seeing these
      like does this explain why ancient sailors believed in krakens? if it’s possible naturally that your ship, in somewhat bad weather conditions, suddenly drop 30+ meters under sea level as the waters surrounding the ship suddenly sink that deep, it would be no wonder that any surviving sailors would think that a deep ocean monster pulled the ship down

      the guy drops the ball at the end of the rogue wave vid and says that rogue waves can be explained through math equivalent/similar to quantum physics. that was a very weak explanation and didn’t go in detail at all, while filling visuals with lorem ipsum computer code. he then acknowledges it post-production in the video description and viewers commented that it should have been handled differently

    posted as a comment on this YouTube vid:

    Did you know that Windows 10 has a ceiling on how many resources it can assign to USB devices? Beyond that, you can’t plug more USB devices, even using hubs. Also, bandwidth-intensive devices will clog up your USB hub, making the other devices “stutter”, which you can see if they are input devices like a wireless mouse. It’s about 96? or so resources (addresses? I don’t understand it very well), but some devices take up more than 1. And this includes hubs – USB hubs also take up the resource. I reached that limit.

    Computer with 9 USB ports connects to:

    • USB Hub1 30 feet away
    • USB Hub2 (3.0) 10 feet away
    • Webcam1, C930e 80 feet away (via cable extension)
    • Webcam2, C920 30 feet away (via cable extension)
    • Audio Interface
    • HDMI Capture Card
    • Mic1
    • USB Hub3 50 feet away
    • Webcam4, C920

    PCIe USB 3.0 Expansion Card with 4 Ports connects to:

    • Webcam5, nobrand
    • Webcam6, nobrand
    • Webcam7, nobrand
    • Intuos Tablet

    USB Hub1 (2.0, 7 ports) connects to:

    • Printer
    • Document Scanner
    • Wireless Keyboard1 Receiver

    USB Hub2 (3.0, 10 ports) connects to:

    • Touchpad
    • Wireless Keyboard2 Receiver
    • Wireless Mouse1 Receiver
    • Wireless Mouse2 Receiver
    • Presentation Clicker Receiver

    USB Hub3 (actually it’s just a splitter with 4 ports.. not sure if there is a difference with larger hubs) connect to:

    • Webcam3, C270 30 feet away (via cable extension)
    • Numpad

    I’m left handed and use vertical mouse, which makes it impossible to find single wireless receiver keyboard+mouse combo that includes a left-handed vertical mouse.

    It seems that devices that connect via Bluetooth do not take up the USB resource – but I haven’t tested thoroughly yet. After hitting the limit on Windows and reading up on it and realizing that there is a hard limit, I’m trying to move some of the devices to Bluetooth (since they can do either a BT or a IR connection)

    Bluetooth devices:

    • Headset1
    • Headset2
    • Xbox Controller
    • Potentially: Touchpad, Clicker, Tablet

    i’m watching westworld and this scene caught me by surprise

    so the protagonists get into this structure, walking away from the villains in style

    and they activate this super high tech device that neutralizes any nearby electronic equipment to disable security

    Dolores is like “watch me, it’s magic” and walks past “security”. Very badass, very cool.

    But this is just LA’s subway fee gate. They are basically teenagers jumping over the fee gate without paying.

    it seems like the microchips are working. reddit read my mind today:

    “In breaking news, a group of DACA patriots are calling for the resignation of President José María Jesús, claiming that he didn’t properly complete form I-821D, making him ineligible to call himself the first dahcuh president of the United States. Constitutional concerns also plague the debate. Fox reports with an in-depth story at 9”

    i didn’t have anyhthing to watch after subscribing to hbo max so i started watching big bang theory for the first time
    i had seen it referenced it in politics debates here and there but never got to see it because i don’t watch tv and it sounded a lot like “american culture” like friends or something
    but shit’s hilarious!

      these seem to be overarching messages, which is a bit concerning are these going to be effective?

      this recall is Trump Round 2. Recalls supporters support Trump. Trump’s manager is helping Caitlin.
      Newsom stood for you, with masks & covid response. Now it’s our turn to protect him.

    I’m remembering how Trump in Late March 2020 said “we are gonna reopen the first week of April 2020, just in time for Easter. You are gonna have a beautiful Easter”

    Yeah because piece of shit cares about religion so much

    i saw a question on r/askhistory about Pytheas, an ancient greek who sailed from northern Italy to various regions in northern Europe, British isles, and somewhere very far up north “six days sailing from the main British island” where the guy saw and recorded the effects of the arctic, ice covering the ocean, etc
    looked it up on wikipedia and youtube and it’s fascinating

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d4NF1Qm3mK8

    people speculate how far did the guy get, possibly one of the islands off the northern coast of Britain, or northern coast of Norway, or (unlikely) Iceland or even Greenland

    imagining how you are out and about seeing things you’ve never heard about before and then they must have felt like if they don’t make it back home alive they can’t tell others of the crazy stuff they saw, makes me anxious and i kind of enjoy that lonely-anxious imagined feeling

    I made a spreadsheet with automated formulas to pull data from mint and my credit card to track income, taxes, business deductions, expenses budget and forecasting. Super excited at how sophisticated it is. It easily beats Mint.com’s budget functionality. Well, probably because I made it customized for my needs.
