10 DEADLIEST Decisions in Human History
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5zh8wssRY8
Some things would have been inevitable. Minus Columbus, Europe would have discovered the Americas eventually. The Vikings had a colony in Newfoundland in 1021 AD.
People can't be blamed for epidemics when the germ theory of disease was unknown.

The Story of Chunk the Groundhog. Narrated by Gardener Jeff.
Been watching this guy occasionally on YouTube for years. There are only so many videos of groundhogs I can find entertaining, but it is cute.

The guy fortified his garden but started putting out vegetables for the groundhogs so that he could record them for his YouTube channel.
A long time ago my father advised to never feed wild animals. You make them dependent. Animals know how to find food. However, I'm more worried about rabies, which is a deadly disease and especially common among raccoons. I've saw a video of a kind old lady feeding a bunch of raccoons. This can be dangerous.

VP Vance on Air Traffic Lawsuit
"We have a massive shortage of air traffic controllers. And, in fact, there have been a number of lawsuits from people who would like to become air traffic controllers against the Obama and Biden administration who are -- basically said, we were told not even to apply because of the color of our skin, because they were white people who wanted to be air traffic controllers, and under the DEI regime of the Biden administration, they weren't welcome...
Well, part of the reason why we have a shortage at air traffic control is because we were telling our air traffic controllers not to hire people because of the color of their skin."

Dianna stands for the first time in 2 years!
I used to watch science videos by "Physics Girl." She has been debilitated by Long COVID for 2.5 years.

The Top 10 Inconvenient Facts About Climate Change
This supports the things I have been saying.
The biggest threat to life is the next period of mass glaciation. It could take thousands of years, but we should already be in the cooling-down cycle. Even if we have a hundred years of warming, we have bigger environmental problems long term.
The Earth is halfway between its maximum tilt and its minimal tilt. We are 11,000 years away from the minimal tilt. All of human civilization arose during the last 11,000-year warm period.
The maximum tilt melts the glaciers because the summers are warmer. However, as the glaciers advance, a positive feedback cycle happens because the glaciers reflect more sunlight into space, rapidly cooling the planet.
It is possible that our effect on the climate could create a new normal. However, I don't see how we counter 90,000 years of cold before the next interglacial warm period.

Virus outbreak in China sparks pandemic concerns: What to know about HMPV
Videos have appeared on social media showing overwhelmed hospitals in China, sparking concerns of a potential pandemic.
The Chinese Foreign Ministry has attributed the spike to a regular seasonal surge, saying in a statement on Friday, "Respiratory infections tend to peak during the winter season … the diseases appear to be less severe and spread on a smaller scale compared to the previous year."
The CDC has said it is monitoring the virus through its National Respiratory and Enteric Virus Surveillance System (NREVSS).
"CDC is aware of reported increases in HMPV in China and is in regular contact with international partners and monitoring reports of increased disease," a CDC spokesperson said in a statement sent to Fox News Digital.
"These reports are not currently a cause for concern in the U.S., though some transmission of HMPV can be expected throughout the year, especially during the winter respiratory virus season."

Most Powerful Explosion Humanity Has Ever Seen Hints at Dark Matter Particles
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LvtnKtmyULk
A TeV is a unit of energy used in particle physics. 1 TeV is about the energy of motion of a flying mosquito.
It would be extraordinary for a photon, a single particle of light, to have 18 to 250 times this energy. If one hit you then I suspect you might feel it.
Planets closer to the Super Nova would have been fried. This is a danger that we have always lived with. A nearby gamma-ray burst would sterilize the planet. It has been theorized that distant gamma-ray bursts were responsible for some past mass extinctions.

Genetic Experts Reveal Shocking Neanderthal Secrets!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_VybJT_LFk&t=902s
There is reportedly some debate about whether Neanderthals were a separate species. Google search results say that they were. However, Neanderthals were close enough to us that I like the idea that they were a sub-species.
It is common for people of European ancestry to have a little bit of Neanderthal DNA. Someone I know did a genetic test that showed a higher-than-average percentage of Neanderthal DNA.
Genetic diversity is a good thing regardless of the species. It can help a group survive environmental changes. Under harsh conditions, some individuals die off and some survive. (Mother Nature is a bitch. 🙂)

Warning issued after killer whales attack and sink another boat in Strait of Gibraltar | The Nightly
Many people on YouTube tend to think wild animals are like pets, especially bears. The problem is that everything looks like food to a bear, and other predators are no different.
Hydrogen Hype is Dying, And That's a Good Thing

A little common sense might have been in order before governments spent tens of billions of dollars on hydrogen energy.
