I was going to edit my other response but I'll just make a new one so OP sees it.

Calum Raasay , out of Scotland, makes some outstanding historo-scientific videos. He travels around quite a bit too.

Another that I haven't seen mentioned is Our Own Devices , he actually used to write for Simon Whistler. Most of his videos are shot in-studio, like Technology Connections and Joe Scott, but he also ventures out into the field for special projects. It's a similar mix to what you'd see on Forgotten Weapons.

Man. That story turns the whole situation on its head. Fascinating. Thanks!

Mine is covered in actual art and memorabilia. My dentist has a very full life. It's one of the many reasons I like him. He's got everything from a signed Jasper Johns print, to Dead posters, to intricate world cup displays, with his tickets, etc.

I've probably bought at least one of them for him lol. Still, it's nice to have an interesting office to visit.

I'm not a contractor.

I'd poke around for rot and mark the edges to make sure it isn't spreading. Maybe try to get up there and check after a storm.

It could absolutely be an old problem that stained the wood. I might make a 1-year calendar reminder if I didn't see anything after a rain.

That's a persistent itch.

Here are two channels I think Tom's viewers would appreciate.

Alexis Dahl makes interesting videos on history, science and life in Michigan.

The Tim Traveller makes ridiculous, yet strangely informative videos about locations all over Europe.

Both channels consistently provide answers to questions I hadn't thought to ask. Both do it with a genuine sense of wonder and a lot of heart.

I think the first time I saw him was when he covered as a guest for Tom?

Honestly? Sometimes my brain just runs with stuff like this. Having travelled enough, it gets really fascinating, what's expensive where and why. A universal value metric would be about as useful to me as the Kelvin scale is. It's nice to have it as a thought tool, but it's not particularly useful day-to-day.

I get it, and I wish there was a more stable way to measure value internationally. Not for trade or anything, just a baseline. Something along the line of total global money value / total supply.

I've only thought about it casually, but everything I've come up with makes the concept more complicated. It spirals pretty quickly. Value in what? Gold? (no). Watt-hours? Who's energy?

I'm sure someone with an economics degree has gone absolutely nuts trying to figure something out. I'd be very interested to learn more.

1-3 hour long mixed on SoundCloud. Mostly Jungle/D&B, with some house and techno for balance. Also, I've been really enjoying listening more about vocals and metal on The Charismatic Voice. (Rammstein link)

It is pretty nice. I'd much rather work a day of overtime at my job, and let them handle the paperwork.

I've been traveling for the last 22 days. I've been to both countries before, so there might be fewer firsts than one might expect.

I did get to see the Large Magellanic Cloud. That was definitely on the list. I crossed into Chilean Patagonia for a day, if only to soak in some hot springs. I got to see Lago Llanquihue, Volcán Osorno, and visited Bariloche. That was all new.

Beyond that, it's mostly details. Where I stayed and such. It's been a fantastic trip.

I'm in Buenos Aires for a couple more days, and there really isn't much I haven't seen before here. It's just nice to be away, relaxing and enjoying all the little differences.

I suppose the big first is that I did all these things sober. I really, really wasn't in that condition 20 years ago. In that respect, it's an entirely different (and for me, a much better) experience.

I figured as much. Gotta have backup power.

Looks like it bans natural gas. Doesn't mention diesel in the article. I was wondering what they'd do for backup power.

Size, material, color, cut, weave (weight, texture, pattern), appliqué.

That would be my hierarchy of clothing qualities. If I'm shopping for clothes, any one of those variables could tank an item, but I'm generally going to work left-to-right.

I guess that would be the ideal, but in reality, color and appliqué are the first things I see, so those can be a quick sorting strategy.

This video uses blind sight in the Intro as a hook for an hour long lecture on sentience.

It's a very long Royal Institution video, but the first section covers this topic with footage of Helen the monkey. The whole video is fascinating.

No, OP, we don't pull our toenails off.

Go see a doctor.

Or...

Go see a doctor.

Edit:

Or, go see a doctor.

Yeah, no. I'll stand up right away, help people around me reach their luggage, along with getting ours down and prepared to roll. Nobody behind me on the plane is going to appreciate it I'm fumbling around with my bags while they're trying to get off.
