  1.  @Zeaiclies  "It really does not matter if the balloon was harmless or not, the response was accurate. Any flying objects that are not from the United States of America in our Airspace, should be shot down." 'Cause a rubber balloon the size of a school bus is really really dangerous, but rocket missiles with explosive warheads don't do any harm when they hit the ground, and they're free, don't cost the taxpayer nearly as much as, uh, picking up dead balloons...

  2. Your silly sponsors don't advocate for public policies. They advocate public policies. For the public, or perhaps for themselves. Policies are what they advocate. Who (or "whom" to Mrs Grundy) they advocate them for -- on behalf of, or in favor of -- is a different question.

  3. This is stupid. It didn't "went missing." They always knew where it was. within their usual sloppy standards of accuracy, that is. (And the RMS Titanic didn't sunk: it sank.) The only question was, which of the obvious array of possible disasters had hit it. That's the thing about amatur hour: unlike professional performances, they're not particularly predictable because we all know that they don't know any script.

  4. A large part of the problem is obviously the fact that sharks do not swim in traffic. If they did so, their statistics would be much more to TwoBitDaVinci's liking.

  5. This is stupid. We need water to live -- and it can drown you. CO2, similarly, is good and bad -- and lethal in excess in the atmosphere. Duh.

  6. 'Course before he went to work for Mad Magazine, Alfred E. Neuman made his first fortune by patenting gasoline which fit any shape of gas tank.

  7. Ricky, The accidents are caused by the cars, not the lights. The reason there are so many accidents at traffic light is that we only put in lights where there are a lot of cars. Duh. Seriously, Ricky, you need to consider that you -- like the rest of YouTube -- are a net contributor to America's stupidity problem.

  8. Brilliant video editing: the collision takes place behind the color insert of your head, TwoBit.

  9. At 5:24, "seventeen to eighteen bolts"?? Ricky, there isn't a whole number between seventeen and eighteen, and bolts don't come in fractions. You're trying to say one or the other -- and both are wrong. I count twelve clearly visible and one indistinct. Your mileage may vary -- but you have the whole film, so you can count them and give us the actual number. It's obviously either fifteen or sixteen.

  10. Room temperature -- but a zillion atmospheres of pressure. No useful breakthrough here. And "enough power for seven South American countries"? Uh, no, we deal in units or elephants per office chair around here. Get with the program, OK?

  11. And "What the hell am I going to do for a PhD thesis?" is pretty common. Major league source of gen-you-whine mediocrity, stupidity, and half-wit pseudo-science.

  12.  @Ivan-pl2it  Yeah, all those nuclear power plants. An' atom bomb factories. An' uranium mines. An H-Bomb testing ranges. Hanford in 1941 was the world capital of nucular evvything, right?

  13.  @Zeaiclies  Neither pictric acid nor manezium exists. Other than that, yer doin' fine? Some Marvel comic book I hadn't head about?

  14.  @goguygo  "due to their late seasonal deployment " 9~10 thousand balloons. They launched them all in one season. Right. I can see how that would be a problem...

  15. It will be nice if you're right. FWIW, I first learned about heat pumps when I had to look it up -- after I read an article making this claim. In 1951. George VI was still King...

  16. At 5:08, no, Ricky, the inside pressure of an aircraft is the stratosphere is not "between ten and twelve" atmospehres. What on Earth are you thinking?? People are inside the plane, breathing ordinary air, Ricky. Get a grip on yourself. I don't know, but it is my impression that commercial aircraft fly witha slightly reduced air prssure, and people are pergectlyhappy breathing air at the pressure of that in a tall skyscraper or a mountain clmb, a large percentage of one atmospehere.

  17. You mean "after only 30 years," not "only after 30 years." Maybe you should get somebody who speaks English to make your videos?
