So I can see the second die being dropped from his hand, but I can't figure out where the first die goes. A good trick!
(cont) In the meantime, pick one friend in each friend group. Tell them about your problem reading the room. Ask them to send you a signal (DM, hand sign, code word) when you're getting carried away.
That sucks, man. I've had trouble reading the room in the past. There are plenty of times that I wish people would be more direct with their communication. It's not a thing we really teach people, y'know? It's not the culture we have. I hope you can find your tribe in the future, with people who are on your wavelength.

Fascinating. Not enough resistance in the aluminum to heat it up, I imagine. Probably needs a specialty spot welder that can dump more than the huge amounts that a regular spot welder can do.So of course I went looking around to see how much one of those would cost, and apparently you can spot weld aluminum, but you have a put a piece of steel in between the electrodes and the aluminum. Wild. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZcH8U4z0ws
48V is the closest multiple of 12 to the upper limit (50V) for "low voltage" wiring in the US. Higher voltage is better because it means you can run thinner wires for the same wattage. Cheaper to buy, easier to handle, easier to route.
Hey OP, just letting you know your info is out of date. Because of the 2015 Climate agreements, and assuming that countries live up to their agreement (which most are), then we're currently on track for 2.5°C, not 4. Which is by no means great, but it is much better.
Man who does not understand physics also does not understand artificial intelligence. More at eleven.
Sigh. Here we go again
You're constantly thinking about your next video, and feeling the pressure to work on it at every opportunity. More videos means more views means more revenue. It's hard to justify a day off, and it's suicide to skip a scheduled upload. You're never really ahead, always feeling like you're behind. It's a rough business to be in, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone
YouTube ads are on a slow decline, so you need more views this year to pay the same as you made last year. Patreon members pay a lot more, so you can survive with fewer views, but you need a slow trickle of new members to cover the ones that leave through attrition. /2
If you're trying to make it a career, being a creator on YouTube is incredibly stressful. You either fail early, or (arguably worse) you're successful quickly. After a few years, you have about as many subscribers as you're ever going to have, and the algorithm isn't really promoting your videos anymore. You have to constantly try and pivot to the new meta without alienating your existing subscribers. 1/

The sign behind Steve says it's the Fanboy Expo. The July 11-13 dates on there help narrow it down to being the one from Knoxville 2025, which had both of those guys.https://web.archive.org/web/20250617203222/https://fanboyexpo.com/knoxville/
On the one hand, you'll always wish you could read them for the first time again. On the other, they can't be your comfort reading (and they are, for so many people) unless you've read them already!That said, I don't recommend reading them chronologically. I didn't thoroughly enjoy the first five books or so the way I enjoyed the later books, where Pratchett really hits his stride. There are any number of reading order guides online with good places to start.
Ol' Bobby Tables, that scamp
Ah yes, the tiny net is a death sentence. It's a net and its tiny!

These days, most black folks the world over would prefer to be referred to as black, but there's no substitute for being polite and asking how they feel.
The term has fallen out of favor as other immigrant groups are using _____-American less and less, and as people have mis-used the term when speaking about black people from the Caribbean, or other parts of the world. A person from Jamaica is not African-American, nor is an immigrant from Ghana who is living in France. It seems obvious, but well-meaning people make the mistake often.
Re: African-American - earlier in the 1900s lots of recent immigrants and their first generation kids were known by their country of origin. Italian-American, Irish-American, etc. Black folks of slave descent didn't know where their ancestors were from, what with the chattel slavery. They got African-American.
Huh, I guess Mick & Ralph's in FNV was a nod to this guy. RIP

Locks are mostly a suggestion. It is trivially easy for an experienced person to pick or bypass most locks
FWIW, a good rule of thumb is to take the hourly wage, double it, and that's just about the thousands of dollars it comes to in a year. So $20/hr is about $40k/yr. $30/hr is about $60k/yr, etc.
