OK, I've actually watched the video this time (the last part, as you suggested). It seems that the author decided to leave out the debate about the Hubble constant and talk about other phenomena in the early universe, which also have their uncertainties.

As far as I can tell, the Hubble tension is still a thing, and JWST only confirmed the measurements of the Hubble telescope. See for example this recent article on ars technica.

For what I can tell, after the clickbaits and the sensationalisms, there is an actual unexplained discrepancy in the values of the Hubble constant measured with different methods. This means that something is not right in one of the methods (perhaps both), or that we are missing something else.

And yes, the Hubble constant is closely related to the age of the universe, so it's basically the same issue.

This is actually a good thing, because the "crisis" can be the first clue to discovering some new exciting science! Just look at how the "ultraviolet catastrophe" kickstarted the field of quantum mechanics a century ago

B-b-but... line must go up!

The correct name is "waste of time"

If only it were this easy to convince them

"Either you die a hero, or live long enough to become the villain"

From my experience, people this noisy are unlikely to be cooperative about it. Or anything else

It's a very bright black, obviously. Duh

Well, the guy is trying nonetheless

You're probably thinking of the corona being hotter then the surface. It's odd because the corona is farther away from the center, and I think it is still unexplained as of today

If you want a TLDR: every time dating apps work, they lose two customers, and they don't want that

I use a password manager and the database is automatically synchronized to multiple devices. I use syncthing for that, but a public cloud would be fine as well, because it's encrypted (well, as long as the master password is strong enough)

Man, I loved this game as a child. To think that I managed to complete it on my own, without looking up anything on the internet (because it wasn't a thing for me yet)... honestly, I think the hints to the hidden paths are there, but very very subtle

Probably an ice age

Serves them right

Why Russia isn't actually collapsing (RealLifeLore on YT)

It's a bit long and I don't remember everything, but a good part is that Saudi Arabia reduced their oil production so that the price goes up, and Russia is still selling a lot of oil to China and others

Maybe they're afraid it could spread to a lot more users
