The mysterious case of the "lost positive"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a7TfjCIbtng
English is a mess and probably always will be. It combines West Germanic languages, Latin, Old Norse, and French. This gives us more words that mean the same thing.
At one time English had grammatical gender just like many languages do today, but dropped it. I'm grateful for this simplification.

My pets are trying to kill me.
My first rule of life is don't do stupid stuff...
Get a dog or a cat. If one of them tries to kill you, your survival chances are pretty good.

Jurassic Raccoon
https://youtube.com/shorts/D7w4AXKSZUg?si=_Pa-bGZVvGTP_raE
My father used to say that you should never feed a wild animal. I didn't understand at first, but the problem is that many animals can have rabies and not show symptoms. This includes raccoons.
Wild animals are not pets.
Migratory birds only fly south when the food runs out. I noticed that people would feed ducks who then stuck around till winter. This can't be good for the birds.
Best wishes,
John Coffey

Watch "Secret Spy Glasses That See Everything" on YouTube
I saw this before but forgot about it.
This is hard to understand, but I think that it means that the pixels are polarized light that would be drowned out by the backlight without the filter. That is a clever piece of engineering.

When I Landed In America I Understood That We Never Had A Chance
I found the story of this German POW very compelling. I was so caught up in his story that I listened to the end, which had a nice finish. That's about 6 hours of audio.
This starts as the 11th video of a 16-video playlist. However, parts 13, 14, and 15 drag on a bit as they talk about his life as a POW.

Dropping a Rock Down an Abandoned Coal Mine Shaft
3 weeks ago
Here's some math for you
The equation for the distance traveled of a free falling object is:
h = v_0t + 1/2(gt^2)
h equals height in meters;
v_0t equals initial velocity in meters per second;
g equals acceleration due to gravity in meters per second squared;
t equals time in seconds.
The initial velocity is 0 since the rock was being held at a standstill by the man. Simplifying the equation we get:
h = 1/2(gt^2)
I watched the video several times and came up with an approximate free fall time of 7.35 seconds. We know that acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s^2. Plugging in the numbers we get:
h = 1/2(9.8 x 7.35^2)
Solving for h we come up with:
h = 264.71 meters
The rock fell approximately 264.71 meters, or about 868.47 feet.
Now that we have a number for distance, we can now see how much the speed of sound affects the equation.
Speed of sound is 343 meters per second
264.71 / 343 = 0.77175
The sound of the rock hitting the bottom was delayed by about 0.77 seconds, which means we need to subtract that time from the original 7.35 seconds.
7.35 - 0.77 = 6.58 seconds of free fall.
Now we have a new free fall time, and can solve for h again with the new number:
h = 1/2(gt^2)
h = 1/2(9.8 x 6.58^2)
h = 212.15
So the rock actually fell about 212.15 meters, or 696.03 feet.
Air resistance would play a role as well, so it may be more like 200 meters or 650 feet, but Ima stop there.

Canadian Tire | Jim Gaffigan
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/RcCnKLy3nwM
I worked from September 1991 to January 1993 for a new business called Auto Source which was a subdivision of Canadian Tire.
"The second time, during the early 1990s, Canadian Tire decided to try to open a specialized auto parts chain called Auto Source that tried to have more than 25,000 different parts on the shelf in each store, more than its competitors. The first Auto Source was opened in Indianapolis in 1991.[25] Unlike the previous attempt, the Auto Source concept was built from scratch.[26] During the next three years, Canadian Tire had opened two Auto Source stores each in Indianapolis, Cincinnati, Dayton, Columbus and Louisville for a total of ten stores before abruptly closing the money-losing chain in 1995.[27][28][29] Some of the stores, were sold to Pep Boys.[30]
Although the Auto Source lost nearly CA$60 million during its four years of existence, a scaled down version was used in Canada under the PartSource brand."

Carlsen: Haven’t Studied Chess Recently; It Showed.
Paul Morphy was considerably better than his contemporaries. So was Bobby Fischer. Neither benefited from computers, databases, or modern opening theory. For this reason, it is harder to compare the skill level of their play with the level of the top current players.
Gary Kasparov was only a bit better than his contemporaries but remained World Champion for 15 years.
Magnus Carlsen is the closest thing to a perfect human chess player. He knows more about chess than anyone ever. He definitely would lose to a computer, but that would be like a math contest against a scientific calculator, or a boxing match with a brick wall. Computers really are perfect, or at least close enough that we can't tell the difference, whereas all humans make mistakes, including Magnus.
As good as Magnus is, he is only a bit better than his contemporaries. There are a number of players who are not far behind.
Bobby Fischer reportedly had an IQ of 180. He was incredibly brilliant. I have heard that Magnus Carlsen has an IQ of 190. He is also incredibly brilliant. I don't know how one quantifies the difference between 180 and 190, especially half a century apart.
Magnus Carlsen once admitted that he had to drink less to play chess well. I have seen him play speed chess online while apparently drunk but he still won because he can play intuitively almost perfect chess. I've seen Russian Grandmasters also win while drunk. So, therefore, I've been wondering if Magnus Carsen is an alcoholic.
In this interview, he looks more disheveled than usual. It is also a bit odd that he decided not to participate in the World Chess Championship, giving up the World Chess Champion title that he has held for ten years.

Wild Beehive in a Washing Machine (Short Version)
https://youtube.com/shorts/ame3yfxCdxY?feature=share
Every one of this woman's videos are exactly the same. She is not afraid to handle bees, and she takes pride in relocating colonies.
I've had three bees stings in my life, starting as a small child. If I tried to handle bees the way she does, I would probably get multiple stings.
Perhaps she uses a smoker while she is handling the bees. Honey bees become docile in the presence of smoke. I am guessing that their instinct is to take shelter in the hive.
Best wishes,
John Coffey
