  3. wow, very impressive that they're still in business. probably a nonsensical business decision though to keep it going instead of cashing out on the manhattan property (I'm sure they own it, no way they could afford rent). well, except if the property value keeps rising.

  4. Skanderbro sure... do you know btw. if the azov battalion are still as fascist as they were originally? I think I vaguely recall reports of that ideology subsiding somewhat among them years ago. I think the azov battalion and other far right ukrainian anti-russia and anti-yanukovich groups were originally formed largely out of football hooligan groups (nazi hooligans are very common in many countries including in russia). I think the nazi ideology may have gotten diluted by more moderate ukrainian nationalism as the whole country united to fight against russia. how nazi can they really still be if they're fighting for zelensky? though even if that is the case, I'd still say that integrating the azov battalion into the national guard and providing them all sorts of heavy weaponry even after the ukrainian military had been strengthened was a highly questionable decision.

  5. that and excessive factory farming, which produces gigantic amounts of feces and urine that either get permanently put into what are euphemistically called "lagunes", or just dumped whereever. here in germany, from what I've heard the pig poop is actually the bigger issue. perhaps because farmers here have the proper tech and know how to not waste so much synthetic fertilizer on runoff. there are even people driving manure tankers over EU borders to dump the s*** in another country.

  8. 6:49 "it was really important for people to come outside because last year, people were feeling suffocated at home." considering that this was filmed at the beginning of india's horrific second covid wave that had probably over a million people die at home, that is the worst choice of words I have heard this year. WOW! 0_O

  12. you really should have applied some of the waste-management/sustainability focus that you guys want us to think you care about here - by covering what this factory does with all the off-cuts. besides the usual bone and connective tissue that can't be used for much worthy of note, and the fat they cut off that I sure hope they save for tallow (the usefulness is obvious, would suck if they threw that away), the interesting part here is the huge amount of dry-aging right they're cutting off. if all else fails, you could probably use almost all waste products from this factory by rendering fat for tallow for human consumption, and making animal feed/pet food from the rest. or you could be extremely american and bury everything in the nearest landfill. or you could do idiot sustainability and send it all to a biogas facility. either way, worth mentioning, don't you think???

  14.  @kieragard  no, just make them in indonesia. indonesia has a sizeable manufacturing sector that certainly includes nacre craftsmen (because it's an island nation), indonesia has much lower wages than japan, it doesn't seem like the species of the implanted shell is particularly important since they're implanting mussel into an oyster, and even if it is important, indonesia has A LOT of native mollusc species and could almost certainly also import whole mussel shells more cheaply and probably without government quotas.

  21.  @EleyReiHer  salt water doesn't remove waxy coatings (of which there are several, both natural resins and waxes and synthetic ones). it's much more typical on fruit than on vegetables, though it's also done to fruit eaten with the peel unlike citrus normally are, such as almost universally apples. I think I have heard of it on cucumbers, which are relatively fast-wilting which is why they're often shrink-wrapped in plastic. in general, shelf life coatings like these are supposed to be proven safe to eat (certainly shellac, beeswax and carnauba wax are). what's unsafe on produce are pesticides and fungicides, though I suppose those can also get fixed in place by waxy coatings, so that they're then almost impossible to wash off. in theory, they should be washed properly before coating, but these industrial washes are never as thorough as many people would be inclined to do, which you can typically gauge in factory videos by how visibly dirty the washing bath is. I think some more intricately designed machines finish off such washing cycles with an actually clean water spray to rinse, but definitely not all, since it's an extra expense in machine acquisition that the customer will never know about. you could probably wash a fruit in a zero visibility muddy puddle, shake off the mud water and let it dry, and adding a shiny wax or resin coating would make the dusty appearance disappear, and make the dirt just about impossible to see.

  22. a very funny example is how theburj khalifa was uilt andoperatedfor several years withno sewer connection, instead filling a column of tanker trucks daily that then dumped the sewage in the desert - because the sewer system had not been built withthe capacity to receive a massive sewage supply in that one spot, and the dubai government didn't feel like investing much money in major underground infrastructure that, unlike the world's tallest building, would not be able to visually impress the world. after a few years they decided that avoiding the embarrassment of being laughed at for the daily sewage transports was worth the

  26. that is incredibly inefficient compared to modern fabric printing. I'm glad that there's still demand for it. if these guys all stopped making that, nobody would ever start doing it again.

  27. mangoes like many fruit are known to people outside of their cultivation range only in the form of fruit that are harvested unripe and hard in order to be less easily damaged during transport, and are then ripened artificially with ethylene gas in distribution centers near the consumers. this generally achieves nowhere near the amount of flavor that you would get from the same fruit just left to ripen on the plant. an easy comparison to make in temperate climates is between normal store-bought tomatoes and home grown tomatoes, or perhaps actually locally grown tomatoes from a farmer's market that aren't just supermarket tomatoes sold for a premium. you don't even have to make an effort, tomatoes grow very easily and will almost certainly turn out very noticably sweeter than store-bought if you let them ripen on the plant, even in rather cool climates (though tomato plants usually need to grow under some kind of roof because if the leaves are wet from rain for a while, they grow a fungus that's very harmful to the plant). if you buy tomatoes on a piece of vine that's more than ~4 tomatoes long and they're all equally red, that's a definitive sign of artificial ethylene ripening, because that would never happen on the plant (they ripen in sequence from the base to the tip).

  34. those wooden stamps of white wood with black streaks are black and white ebony, that's really hard stuff. definitely takes a lot of time to carve. they probably use it because it holds fine details without much risk of chipping, and its grain structure is very fine so it doesn't show in the print.

  38. Skanderbro yeah I've heard that manpads in particular are very highly sought after on the black market and normally very difficult to get. imagine how much drug cartels would pay for those manpads and ATGMs that ukraine is getting...

  39. A S yeah that sounds about right ^^ it was probably useful for convincing the government to ban incense stick imports that incense sticks are used for hindu rituals in india, so the government could link domestic production with religious identity.

  40. probably not. apparently, palms have no cambium and do not grow in trunk diameter once they start shooting upwards. grafting of other plants, mostly dicots, is done on very small areas, either thin branches or even just branch buds, because the xylem has little to no ability to fuse. instead the cambium fuses, and then grows later layers continuously and solidly, making the inadequately fused original xylem obsolete. you never graft a whole trunk. one thing that very likely would work are stalk-shortening synthetic plant hormones that are already used on both monocots like grains, and dicots like those super short potted sunflowers you can buy for decoration.

  41.  @Error-tr9ke  well, they're probably hardly ever carried. and I think worn gilding can look pretty good too. particularly when it's on an object that's more rough by nature, for which a dagger certainly qualifies.

  46. yes, mostly, but that would be a job for a government. what I see governments needing to do in A LOT of these third world documentaries is to build trash-fired power plants. those are desperately needed. there are poor countries importing trash to extract some value from small parts of it, but then they don't have power plants to burn the rest, and instead they wreck their environment, water quality, fishing industries and tourism possibilities with trash piling and washing up everywhere, and people burn trash in open fires to get rid of it, which releases huge amounts of toxins that could be filtered by a power plant while at the same time it would produce electricity. much of the EU has completely banned household waste from landfils because it's so much better and very practical to just burn just about everything that's not worth recycling or composting. burning trash for electricity doesn't have a good reputation because it has the potential to still release relatively toxic fumes and it doesn't seem as nice as recycling fantasies, but in reality it is the obvious practical solution for most trash problems and infinitely better than what most of the world does with all that stuff!

  49. there's probably an element of intentionally supporting the jewish community in ukraine. a little money for americans goes a long way in ukraine and ukrainian wages are very cheap from an american perspective, so american jews are paying what for them is a negligible amount of money (;)) to keep ukrainian jews employed.

  50.  @enlightendbel  the "4/5 of all microplastic in the ocean comes from tires" claim seems very non-credible, given the fact that all the common types of plastic break down into microplastic in the ocean, many objects (foils and foams) quite quickly so, and that the amount of other plastic produced is much larger than the amount of tires. worn tire dust is going to stay mostly on land, and the only plausible way lots of tires would get into the ocean is deliberate sea-dumping of collected tires (because of the threats mentioned in the video - very large and very toxic fires, or breeding puddles for mosquitoes). but as far as I'm aware, tires are a relatively popular fuel for power plants and some factories (typically not featuring good enough exhaust filtration, but who cares, it's energy). I haven't heard of tires in particular being dumped in the ocean, and it seems unlikely to me to occur on a very large scale, compared to other garbage dumping, or the unintentional ocean pollution with light bits of plastic litter that gets blown and washed around on land and into rivers.
