Cody is awesome. I definitely recommend all of the videos on this channel and his election podcast called Worst Year Ever along with Robert Evans and Katy Stoll. He also frequently appears on Robert Evans' Behind the Bastards podcast.
Very enjoyable video, I thought I would just look at few pictures and turn it off but I ended up watching the whole thing, her point at the end was quite thought provoking. It’s nice that youtube is now large enough that someone making quite niche oriented videos can still have lot of success.
Also I find something hilarious about someone dressed in victorian outfit promoting NordVPN lol.
You can neither do it on Linux. The comment was childish.
Indeed the guy in the video conflates UNIX with Linux, which is simply wrong on many levels. After searching around a bit, only two writeups of the story (I could find) mention that it was a "UNIX machine", none mention "Linux". So, the guy in the video is literally pulling it out of his ass, it's as if he was trashing MS Windows because someone did a Ctrl-A Del in the wrong folder.
It was most likely a UNIX system, one of the myriads there existed (and some still do)

From the video, Standard Oil, American Tobacco, and Microsoft are all examples of competition and innovation stifling companies that resulted in government anti-trust action. Since the 1980s, US anti-trust law has loosened to mean only companies that destroy consumer surplus via artificially high prices. One of the interesting debates of the past couple years has been whether zero-cost monopolies Facebook and Google are stifling innovation. The EU has produced court rulings within that past year that indicate they believe the answer is yes. See this most recent stratechery post for some analysis.
If you're interested in the formation of the modern corporation, and the evolution of the railroad/commodity collusion and legislative bribery that allowed oil and steel magnates to become the world's richest people, I'd recommend Titan: The Life of John D. Rockefeller, Sr..

I liked the tips about apps though, stuff like LifeRPG can seem a bit silly, but as a dude whit ADHD and difficulties getting chores done, those are actually helpful.
Edit: To make this comment a bit less whiny and a bit more helpful I gonna give my best tip for winding down and creating better sleeping habits
F.lux is a program that changes the color settings on your monitor at nights to be less stressful for the eyes. The program really helps with the "not ever getting tired when sitting in front of the computer"-problem that I sometimes have and I can't recommend that program enough for people who have a hard time winding down at night.

This was the first thing that came up when I googled how to play flash games on Windows 10. It's 601gb and claims to have over 90,000 games and 10,000 animations saved. There is also a version that just downloads games one at a time. Kind of like Steam for Flash.
So how do you fit 2mb of memory into 32kb of address space? Surely it's impossible you must say, but the answer is actually quite ingenious.
First lets visualize the memory issue. Each block represents 16kb of memory.
Memory Addresses on the Game Boy on boot (Last two blocks reserved for video ram,i/o and such) [_][_][][] Memory Blocks On the Cartridge [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]...[125]
Looking at the diagram above you might already have an idea of the solution.
Memory Addresses on the Game boy [1][2][][] Memory Blocks On the Cartridge [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]...[126]
And then when we progress to a different level we reference a different part of memory in our address range
Memory Addresses on the Game boy [1][7][][] Memory Blocks On the Cartridge [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]...[126]
Keep in mind we aren't moving the memory, it's still in the same place, we are just giving it a temporary address in our address bus.
This is a technique known as bank switching. It's used extensively in early consoles to deal with 16 bit memory limitations.
The Game Boy's Memory Bank Controller is located on the cartridge itself and is a cool example of how the cartridge was used to extend the limitations of the machine. The next video will probably do a better job of explaining this and it might go onto some other hacks used by the cartridges.
>Maybe for some, but it feels as it's not as strong as paranoid schizophrenia tends to be.
I'm not entirely sure what you mean by this, but I can assure you, this is textbook paranoid schizophrenia.
When you go on the webmd page for paranoid schizophrenia, two of the examples it gives for the condition are...
>"The government is spying on you."
>"People in your neighborhood are plotting to harass you."
Not all schizophrenics have auditory of visual hallucinations, many just have delusions.
The delusions certainly may have been triggered by our increasing knowledge of the extent of government surveillance, but that doesn't mean it's not a mental illness.
Schizophrenia, like most mental illnesses, is diagnosed solely on symptoms that the patient reports. You can't do a blood test, or a brain scan to discover if someone has schizophrenia, you just have to listen to them talk. If the patient has delusions of grandeur, like believing that the government dispatched helicopters because they uploaded a video to youtube, then that's enough for most psychiatrists to diagnose them.
How does Billy even have the money to be a major financial backer of Twin Galaxies? He owns a hot sauce company for Christ's sake. Hot sauce companies have notoriously low margins, and as a hot sauce connoisseur, I've never even heard of Rickey's Hot Sauce (notice the website is shut down for bandwidth exceeded) on /r/spicy, /r/HotPeppers or thehotpepper.com for that matter. Even on the hot sauce's Amazon page, its claim to fame is that it was featured in the Donkey Kong documentary put out more than 10 years ago now.
Just doesn't add up.
Advertisements have grown more and more intrusive by using informations about you collected while you browse the internet. NordVPN can help you turn the table and enjoy a really anonymous and safe internet navigation.
I'm assuming he's going by this dictionary definition of arthouse:
https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/art-house
It's just means a more avant-garde/niche form of art that's not really popular with the masses but is highly respected and critically acclaimed.
After looking both up and checking out my tongue in the mirror, not a geographic tongue(mayo clinic) , but yes to a fissured tongue, towards the tip running side to side or horizontal and not near as bad as some of the pictures on some of the sites i visited were people have the grand canyon going on.
Oddly some sites group the two together, others separate them as different. Thanks for some knowledge friend.

That's not true at all. There isn't any critical thinking or rational argument necessary to have, or voice, your opinion.
raff97's comment was not meant as an objective criticism of Christopher Hitchens' speechmaking/talking/presentation techniques, he was just stating that Hitchens' lip-smacking bothered him. There's no reason to bring critical thinking into this.

Hello, I'm a bot! The movie you linked is called Sour Grapes, here are some Trailers
Expeditionary Force
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01AIGC31E
Dont read the reviews... lots of salty people about the success of the series.
The basics of the plot is aliens show up, and realistically the earth gets fucked in like 30 minutes. our protagonist along with 100,000 humans get shipped offworld to be an ground-pounding force, but really they get used more like... peace keepers. series of events happen, and plucky humans become space pirates. can't say what the events are without spoiling it, but it is a bit of a slow roll and then BAM it goes really well.
I recommend the audiobooks, R.C. Bray is a phenomenal narrator with a good range in voice acting and really brings things to life. The audiobooks by themselves are expensive, so I suggest getting audible subscription but there is a loophole, if you buy the kindle book you can get the audiobook for very little.
in that link there should be an option labeled:
(Add Audible narration to your purchase for just $7.49) With the kindle price being like $2.99
If magic is more your cup of tea, I also have a great series on that, its about a guy transported to another world but he is no hero, instead of a dungeon lord.
If space scifi realism is your cup of tea I got another series too.
Well, I guess it depends on your isp. Some years ago, parents have spectrum, and I wasn't using a vpn, was issued a browser warning that blocked our access until you accepted it. Later, got a another one after my vpn decided to disconnect but things were still downloading. After that one, I decided to buy a better vpn with a feature called a killswitch. No more warning after that. I got IPVanish vpn.
Now in my own place, I still use the VPN and I haven't gotten any warnings.
In my mind, I'd rather pay the $70 or something a year for the VPN protection, and download however much I want, than pay for multiple services.
Yeah, yeah, people have been doing comedy similar ways for a while but this guys’ videos are the EXACT same as internet historians. On his other video about r/WallStreetBets he even ripped off some jokes word-for-word as part of the NordVPN segment.

So interesting to see that it hasn't changed too much, and of course how much matches up.
Thanks for the Wiki link, plenty of reading to do.
Reddit users aren't th exact same people as US voters.
According to alexa:
Reddit population has higher than average number of college graduates and a lower than average number of users with no college education. Areas with lower amounts of college graduates tended to vote for Trump more than their higher-educated counterparts
Roughly 15% of reddit traffic comes from the UK, Germany, and Canada. All countries that tend to be more liberal than the US.
Outside of playing the video and just not watching it, Sam O'Nella only has video content as far as I can tell. He was on episode 72 of The Official Podcast, but it's not the same type of content as on his channel.

Prejudice or discrimination based upon race.

Inciting aggression due to lack of 'outrage' because "her child is black" is racially charge, political, and not appropriate for this subreddit.

Yes, but no. A company they rent servers from was hacked. The security flaw was not with NordVPN themselves.
>"The server itself did not contain any user activity logs; none of our applications send user-created credentials for authentication, so usernames and passwords couldn’t have been intercepted either,” said the spokesperson. “On the same note, the only possible way to abuse the website traffic was by performing a personalized and complicated man-in-the-middle attack to intercept a single connection that tried to access NordVPN.”
>According to the spokesperson, the expired private key could not have been used to decrypt the VPN traffic on any other server.

You can retrofit sprawl in fact there's a urban planning book on. I'm currently rereading Walkable City Rules, so I haven't read it myself the book is called Retrofitting Suburbia: Urban Design Solutions for Redesigning Suburbs by June Williams that talks about this exact town.
The trouble is Not Just Bikes, left and talks about why he left. However, for those of us that cannot afford becoming ex-pats we have use resources like Strong Towns to expand the downtown and make our towns more resilient. This in turn will drive walkablility because spoiler walkable places are more profitable than sprawl.

It's about the Irish eating their own babies. It's a satire.
How is he negative on Japan? Are you okay man?
He's literally sharing facts on how cats kill a lot of creatures that often need protecting.
He literally never said this problem was unique to okinawa... that it was systemic everywhere, including America.
How is he a racist? Are you okay?
To know what he's doing you have to have read a modest proposal:

It's a satire about how the Irish should eat their babies. He's not actually asking everyone to kill all cats.
> You vote every day with your purchase decisions
I am not content with certain people having orders of magnitude more votes than others. If we decided on congress or the president by voting through wealth you would say that it was absurd and authoritarian. You would be appalled that votes are not allocated equally to citizens of the country. Why are you not equally appalled when instead of the decision of who sits in congress or the oval office, the situation is regarding what we do with limited natural resources and collective labor time?
I watched the video, and it's nonsense. There is nothing stopping a group of people from collectively making intelligent operational decisions given limited resources that align with their best interests. I am not ignorant to the way markets function, I understand how they are effective in quantifying the value of certain decisions. I am simply arguing that we can actually do even better for ourselves by studying situations and directly aligning incentives with human needs and aspirations.
BTW the concept we are talking about is called the Economic Calculation Problem and I think you'll find books like The People's Republic of Walmart to be particularly interesting and convincing critiques of the long-standing capitalist position.
That "estimated time saved" is compared to not using any adblocker. The uBlock Origin and Ghostery plugins for various browsers do nearly the exact same thing that Brave does (preventing ads from downloading), so there is virtually no performance difference between using Brave and using Chrome with uBlock Origin as far as I can tell. In fact, Brave's approach is based on uBlock Origin and Ghostery:
> We therefore rebuilt our ad-blocker taking inspiration from uBlock Origin and Ghostery’s ad-blocker approach.
Most content blocker plugins like uBlock Origin filter network requests and prevent downloading ads in the first place (and tracking requests). The element filter (hiding loaded ads) is typically used as a fallback option for things that it's not possible to block with a network filter (e.g. ads that were delivered from the same domain as the webpage itself, like Google ads on google.com).
You can see in this comparison how Chrome with uBlock Origin has nearly identical memory usage compared to Brave. (Adblock Plus fares worse because it is less efficient than uBlock Origin and allows "acceptable ads" by default). You might have other reasons for preferring Brave, but I don't think its performance is noticeably different from Chrome with uBlock Origin.
TILvids.com is an edutainment video community. You can basically think of it like "What if /r/mealtimevideos was a website?" It doesn't have video ads, runs on donations from the community, and focuses hard on respecting data privacy of users. It uses the open-source PeerTube software, and works with all the creators (mostly smaller/indie) on the site to get permission to host their content and help them to find an audience.
They have a subreddit (/r/tilvids) where you can ask more questions.
Looking here, https://www.trustpilot.com/review/filippoloreti.com , the issues have not stopped. In between the bot reviews are people who are still buying watches, and not receiving them for close to a year.
Wondering which stove and pans you have, I've been using the same set of pans for about 6/7 years, most of those years on induction cooktops and have never experienced most of the cons you list (only one being the spinning/sliding pan on top of the surface since it's so slick and I guess maybe the cost to repair? Never had it break on me, yet).
I used three induction stoves in that time, first one was a middle range samsung, then I did about a year of van-life and used a small induction cooktop I bought on amazon (that one https://www.amazon.ca/-/fr/gp/product/B0045QEPYM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and for the past 4 years I'm using a higher end Cafe stove. All the time with the same set of pans (two cast-irons and a set of stainless steel ones).
I agree that MAL is kind of finnicky to add shows to, the absolute GOD SEND is this desktop app called Taiga http://taiga.moe/ I don't know if they have Kitsu functionality working yet (they did back when it use to be Hummingbird, but since they rebranded idk if they updated), but it runs excellent with MAL :)
Anyone can search the full LBRY blockchain. The leading client, LBRY.tv and its apps, will search and display the whole blockchain except things that have DMCA takedown requests or are otherwise objectionable to them, but anyone is free to create their own client and see everything.
The LBRY naming protocol is really interesting and seems to solve significant problems of centralization pretty well.
All LBRY content is curated by channel owners, and viewers can promote content they like by tipping. LBRY has the incentives in the right places I think.
> https://lbry.com/faq/different-bitchute
Notice how it doesn't talk about Peertube because peertube, like LBRY, is a software. It works exactly the same. Putting the equivalent of a magnet link in a blockchain, but until peers are not up it's working the same as Peertube.
LBRY does sound like a project that is backed only by a corp right now though
Wow, lots of good insights in this thread, thanks for the great conversation!
TILvids runs on PeerTube, which is a really wonderful open-source technology for building a video community. As I looked around at the various "instances" of PeerTube out there (an instance is just what it sounds like, someone spinning up their own instances of PeerTube on a server) there were a LOT of them that were just filled with junk; pirated video content, NSFW content, conspiracy-theory videos, etc. There are some great ones out there too, don't get me wrong (Blender, the makers of the open-source 3D software, have an instance with an insanely amount of great learning content for their software), but there is just a lot of junk.
So I tried to do something a bit different, by making a much more heavily moderated instance, and focusing very tightly on edutainment content (which is my favorite type of content). I saw a lot of edutainment creators on YouTube struggling to really gain any traction (videos that take days and day of research and editing, ending up with a few hundred views), and really identify with that feeling (hint: it's not great). I'm really hoping that I can build a community of positivity and learning, where viewers feel their privacy is respected, creators get to showcase their content alongside a bunch of other great indie creators making similar content, and it just creates a virtuous circle.
Thanks for the great question!
I don't use it because I have no issue with hitting the "hide" button or just moving on to the next post, but it's super useful in tailoring your experience here. Here are some of the major features!
My favorites are easily the big editor, live preview, and comment source viewer.
Same concerns. It's annoying how uncritically seemingly everyone jumps on board of any Facebook criticism without thinking if it isn't just some other entity's agenda (hint; legacy media).
I like this essay, concerning "Facebook is ripping apart the social fabric" narrative (@ 1:00 in the vid linked here). Lots of these criticisms aren't really specific to Facebook - they are about unrestricted communication between everyone.
Also relevant, Revolt of the Public and the Crisis of Authority in the New Millennium.
And these criticisms are somewhat valid. It really is destabilizing. Before, relatively small amount of authoritative sources set the narratives. People mostly believed one of these is ~Truth. Now everything exploded, and inane conspiracy theories, "fake news" and such blossom. Authoritative sources lost their authority. Previous setup had its advantages, but it'd be pretty fucked up to go back (if it were even possible).

It's been a long time since I've looked into Hotspot Shield specifically, so I have no idea about them in particular, but I'd be very careful with free VPNs. It's free because they are probably going to be looking at all your traffic and/or injecting ads. Personally I'd steer clear. Granted, the potential to look at the traffic is there with a paid VPN as well, but it's probably less likely. In general it's worth keeping in mind that you are basically allwoing any VPN provider the same access to your traffic as your ISP would have. HTTPS is your friend here. Ideally you'd just host your own VPN server in the country you want to browse from.
Well that's just dumb. Try using a VPN (I use CyberGhost which is great), or searching for some mirrors. If that doesn't work for you, I'll try to get a copy of the video and send you a link later today. Just let me know.
I assume it’s blocked in your country. You can use a VPN to bypass this by tricking YouTube into thinking you’re in any country you want.
Personally, I use NordVPN, but there are plenty of other great ones too. You should be using a VPN all the time anyway to protect yourself from tracking and other unethical behaviour, such as people obtaining your location from your IP address and your ISP slowing your Internet speed down or blocking certain sites.
Oh, and you can torrent shit safely too, so that’s great.

Paul Steinhardt, who discovered quasicrystals, covers the background of how simple tiles led him and his grad student into imagining a form of matter that uses these aperiodic crystals. There is a lot more to the story than what is presented in this brief video (however the video helps a A LOT in visualizing the concepts).
The book was really really good and gives a great glimpse into a curious and scientific mind.
Who are these useless "tribes" you're speaking about, exactly?? All of humanity came from tribes. Are you suggesting that white skinned tribes were able to dominate because they weren't distracted by psychedelics? That's really what it sounds like. But ancient white people were taking them too.
Maybe you can help me understand your argument while teaching me something at the same time. Can you tell me which tribes went on to be an advanced civilization that didn't know about any mind altering drugs? Because as I understand it, people all over the world have been taking drugs since pretty much tribes were formed.

Cybersecurity may seem very complex, but NordVPN makes it as easy as it gets. Cutting-edge technologies shield your Internet activity from hackers and malware, protect you on public Wi-Fi networks, and even block annoying ads.

Adult Swim region locks them. Deepening where you are in the world (rather: where your ISP indirectly tells them where you are), and how the TV rights, channels and funding are managed there you only get to see a subset. It sucks.
Just to list all options: What you can do is just buy them on amazon, use proxies or VPNs to make your internet traffic come from a different location, or check filesharing networks for the episodes you can't get from adult swim where you are. The last one might not be legal depending on your country of current residence.
I literally had no interest in popcorn until this video.
This video inspired me to try out some over priced gourmet popcorn.
Spoiler alert: Not worth the price
That said, it was cool to try and compare the tastes between them.
I think the most importorant thing to do with popcorn is to NOT go with the microwave bags. Stick to stove top. Orville Redenbacher is a cheap(and honestly the way to go) route.
I don't have much experience with dry poppers though I want one.
At first I was expecting these Creative keyboards, they seemed a little gimmicky for teenage me back then, but I don't know how to play the piano so I wouldn't know how great they might be. Great video too, never knew these little chips can be so prolific.
