    40:42 technically correct. "Mm" would be the official shorthand. But it's simpler to count kilometers as its division is 1000. So yes. You're correct about something that's not use.

    yeah, here the thing, Brilliant, unlike games, is not a one time payment. Mind you, micro transactions doesn't help to some, but for me is not an issue. it's a lot easier to budget a single transaction than flatulating one, that will raise its monthly fees with or without you knowing about it. Sure, I get to learn useful things, but at this point in time, I need something to relieve me of my stress form problem solving at work, problem solving at home and problem solving at life; something that brilliant can't do for me, as it will add more stress to my otherwise stressful situation.

    Bangledesh: A greedy, selfish, idiotic ruler destroyed the country, and was replaced by another greedy, selfish, idiotic ruler.

    I wonder why they're not doing so well…

    The video with the possible balll lightning that was hidden behind the trees and glowed green, I actually think I know what it could be. I live in New Orleans so thunderstorms and lightning is quite common here. A few years ago my best friend and I were on her front porch during a really bad thunderstorm and the lightning was crazy. But there were power lines about twenty yards away from us and the wind was causing power outages and blown transformers everywhere. The power lines by us were suddenly starting to arc (I think that’s what it is called). Every couple of seconds we saw what looked like long snake like bolts or arcs or whatever that would ignite on one end by the transformer on the pole and travel down the line to the other pole. It glowed bright green and it took about three to five seconds to get from one end to the other. You could hear the sound of electricity humming while it traveled down the line. The brightness would increase and decrease intermittently and it seemed to almost pulse in intensity. It looked just like what happened in the video behind the trees though.

    Isn't it sometimes a great world?
    The guy I binged a bunch of times in my consumer career and has thus earned my good will happens to have a TWO HOUR VIDEO about a topic that coincides with a recent obsession I have developed the past week.

    Make space YouTubers I don't want to watch and AI voiced & written "content", I'm taken care of.

    two hour video took over four hours to watch because of having to continually stopping it to go to another tab to convert all the metric stuff to standard measurements. Last time I knew, the United States used standard measurements not metric measurements, but not this guy. If you don't know metric, you won't have any idea what he is saying unless you continue to stop the video and go convert his measurements to standard. Pain in the arse and a long 4.5 hour video

    kiwi here!! 47:06 holy pronunciation…. jokes aside you were pretty close!! but Te Reo (Maori) is a lot more similar to Samoan (think Moana),, this will probably get buried in comments but i love to see nz rep :)) (and i would love to start seeing youtubers call it Aotearoa more)

    1:18:35 kind of absolutely hilarious that people think not being able to feel an almost undetectably low frequency hum would cause people to go insane in space and not… you know… being in a small enclosed mechanical environment with no fresh air or nature while surrounded by a deadly vacuum that could kill you at any moment in any number of ways…
