What you posted does nothing to refute the crapiness of the design. Why the recurrent laryngeal nerve give off branches to the cardiac plexus is very simple: The RL nerve is a branch of the Vagus nerve, which is THE source of parasympathetic innervation to the heart. The fact that some fibers may branch off of the Vagus early with the RL nerve and then rejoin the cardiac plexus further along is hardly uprising. That does NOT explain why the nerve fibers that innervates the larynx have to make an unnecessary loop downwards around the aorta.

If there WAS an intelligent designer, he could have easily made those nerve fibers innervating the the larynx split off the Vagus higher up, where the Vagus nerve PASSES BY RIGHT NEXT TO THE LARYNX.

Trying to refute this video by quoting Gray's Anatomy is either a sad misunderstanding of basic scientific concepts or just willful ignorance. Almost as bad as Kirk Cameron and the banana.

They apparently didn't know that that nerve innervates the heart and other chest organs. From Gray's Anatomy:

"As the RL nerve curves around the subclavian artery or the arch of aorta, it gives several cardiac filaments to the deep part of the cardiac plexus. As it ascends in the neck it gives off branches, more numerous on the left than on the right side, to the mucous membrane and muscular coat of the oesophagus; branches to the mucous membrane and muscular fibers of the trachea and some filaments to the inferior constrictor."

And as the lady is separating the nerve from the chest area, she is actually cutting those nerve innervations. Oh, and one more thing. The long nerve does NOTHING to weaken the neck, or the animal itself, as is seen in the following video.

And I thought Google Fiber was bad.

Wait, no I didn't, it's fucking great.

EMPIRE maybe they can get some ridiculously high bandwidth link up and going wirelessly?

OK... well at least have it use a single dinky fiber optic cable to do it.

Hey, as long as the resolution and frame rate is there, I dont care if they pull their displays out of old Tempest arcade machines.

My biggest complaint about Verizon is that they took all these tax benefit arrangements with many states, in return for the promise to build out "broadband" infrastructure. In those agreements, Verizon said they would do FTTH (fiber-to-the-home, 10Mbps or more), but some years later they conveniently redefined "broadband" as 512kbps DSL, after saving 10s of millions of dollars from each of those states.

That is literally criminal (breach of contract), but nothing ever happened to them for doing so.

Once the infrastructure is built, Verizon (and Comcast, AT&T, TimeWarner, etc) profit margin is ENORMOUS. (more than any oil company makes on gasoline, by %)

If they are going to charge so much, they should at least deliver what they promise, and make an effort to make popular sites (netflix, youtube) as fast as possible.

I don't mind if ISPs attempt to throttle certain criminal sites (piratebay, sarahpalinchannel, etc)

Ok, I'll bite. So, if carbon fiber is black, then why is this weaving a white textile...???

Jesbus H. I wish the fisheye werent so intense. Would like to get a better feel for the scale.
Regardless, going up something like this has always been where the fun, challenge and excitement is for me, but coming down.... Just thinking about it destroys my nerve completely. I'd probably cling there like a baby for months, force someone to call in heli-support, or just jump off into the water. Fucking climbing down. That loosens bowels more than all the fiber in the world.

I think you all need more fiber.

Prevention is always the answer!

Maybe we should stop replacing stadiums every 10 years and get to work on those bridges that are falling down. Or hell, how much fiber could you string for the cost of one of these?

appropriate analogy for Amazon bookstore, since Amazon Web Services is serving all Netflix videos.

The fact that Google has such a hard time (legal battles) rolling out Fiber project, and Tesla has such a hard time selling directly to consumers - makes me sad. It should be illegal to abuse the legal system to stifle competition.

Not enough current to do that. My field recorder (several grand) only takes 6 AA's, so not enough to kill her.

However, those carbon fiber 1lb boom poles are incredibly not useful for saving a drowning victim. And he would be out a Senn 618, a Rycote and looks like a K-Tek. Oh, nothing short of 3 or 4 grand total.

However, I wouldn't be surprised if he simply didn't know what else to do.

Wow! You knew about high speed fiber optic trading in the 70's? Can I borrow your time machine?

You've quoted that without understanding what he is talking about, or what the controversy actually is. Evolutionists suppose that the human eye is poorly designed because of a layer of nerve fibers in front of the eye. They base this partly on the fact that the octopus, whose eyes have a similar design to ours, have the same nerve fibers located in the back of the eye. They say the nerve fibers in front impair our vision in comparison, and perhaps they might a little(dont know if they do or not), but it is for a tradeoff. The truth that is missing from the discussion is that the nerve fibers in front have a purpose, which is to block damaging radiation that the octopus isn't exposed to because it is underwater. That is why the octopus can have the nerve fibers in the back of the eye and we have them in front.

What is your proof that he wasn't an atheist? Where did you read that he was kicked out of the University? I wouldn't be surprised that he was kicked out of the University after he converted, but I've never read that he was kicked out.

Very interesting video, but a pity he went in to all that detail to end with a figure as vague as "1 terabyte in a few hundredths of a second".

If "a few" is 5 we'd get 20 Tbytes/s, if a few is 50 we'd get 2 Tbytes/s.

From wikipedia it seems optical fibre bandwidth is also limited by distance, due to dispersion, but current experimental research results are approaching 100 Terabit/s over a single channel.
(26Tbit/s in 2011, 73.7 Tbit/s in 2013)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiber-optic_communication#Parameters

100 Terabit/s is 12.5 Terabyte/s, which is 1 Terabyte in 0.08 seconds.

So while it still doesn't tell us what the theoretical limit is, for our currently achievable maximum speeds "a few" is 8.
