'Spy Monkey' Mistaken For Dead Baby And Mourned By Troop
Khufu says...You know what? We're already there... Humans.
You want Planet of the Apes? 'Cause this is how you get Planet of the Apes.
Deepwater Horizon Blowout Animation
Khufu jokingly says...spoilers! I haven't even seen this film yet.
What if Neanderthals Didn't Go Extinct?
Khufu says...But Neanderthals didn't go extinct, they are able to spot the dna in the genes of Europeans/Asians so...
Urban Geography: Why We Live Where We Do
Khufu says...Vancouver has played American cities in hundreds of movies and tv shows, even American political propaganda videos... so why not documentaries:) all-look-same.
Its really a Europe vs America comparison so Canada gets to be american. Sort of like the "north american" ice hockey team.
Cherenkov Radiation:Particles Faster Than the Speed of Light
Khufu says...Why aren't there pauses between sentences? They have all been edited out and I can't handle it.
Debunking Hydration/Dehydration - Adam Ruins Everything
Khufu says...so that time i did a 160km race in 35 degree heat with a few thousand ppl and i saw at least 100 ppl on the side of the road with severe cramps reeling in pain... all outliers?
No, you've pointed out what you believe were adverse outcomes from slight dehydration. These are anecdotes. You didn't measure your level of dehydration, nor did you control for all the other factors that could have caused your issues.
If it was dehydration causing you to have muscle cramps and loss of consciousness then you probably didn't have "slight dehydration", you most likely had severe dehydration. And as someone has already pointed out, the evidence for muscle cramps caused by dehydration is slim (but that doesn't mean it's not true for you).
Studies don't take into account outliers. They look at large groups of people to generate explanations for human physiological conditions. You might be a one in a billion person and react differently to dehydration than almost everyone else.
Are You Ready To Be Outpaced By Machines? Quantum Computing
Khufu says...How can this guy do what he's doing if he's pretty sure the machines will take over in about 15 years...
There is no fate but what we make...
Debunking Hydration/Dehydration - Adam Ruins Everything
Khufu says...no adverse outcomes? I've pointed out several adverse outcomes of very slight dehydration. In the video they use the example of sports and say hydration isn't important. So ya, if he's referring to clinical dehydration, he's basically side-stepping the fact that that's not what anyone is worried about when hydrating for sport, it's more about the intense cramping and loss of consciousness that we don't need scientific studies to confirm. Just like I don't need a scientific study to tell me to eat when I'm hungry.
You had to know what EAMC stands for to understand the abstract. EAMC = Exercise-associated muscle cramps.
This video does not always delineate between levels of hydration. The reality is, you are in general always "dehydrating". This is normal and has no adverse outcomes.
Clinical dehydration (what the video is really talking about) is way beyond the normal ups and downs of fluid loss while maintaining homeostasis.
Debunking Hydration/Dehydration - Adam Ruins Everything
Khufu says...Lol, are you telling me science proves humans can't get dehydrated? ugh...
I'm not worried about death from dehydration while working out, but slight dehydration (2%) is enough to dramatically impair cognitive function, performance and recovery. It's just obvious in practice.
http://bjsm.bmj.com/content/43/6/401.short
"Scientific evidence in support of the “electrolyte depletion” and “dehydration” hypotheses for the aetiology of EAMC comes mainly from anecdotal clinical observations, case series totalling 18 cases, and one small (n = 10) case–control study. Results from four prospective cohort studies do not support these hypotheses. In addition, the “electrolyte depletion” and “dehydration” hypotheses do not offer plausible pathophysiological mechanisms with supporting scientific evidence that could adequately explain the clinical presentation and management of EAMC."
Debunking Hydration/Dehydration - Adam Ruins Everything
Khufu says...This video is as bad as the sponsored studies it complains about. Adam obviously has never exerted himself a day in his life. When I'm on the 4th hour riding my bike up mountain highways, I know that if I haven't been drinking a liter of water per hour for the past 4 hours(including some form of electrolyte) I'm about to have horrendous hamstring cramps. I know because of experience trying many combinations, not Gatorade studies.
The Great Global Warming Swindle
Khufu says...This video is funded by big oil, guaranteed.
Climatologist Emotional Over Arctic Methane Hydrate Release
Khufu jokingly says...You guys are so gullible, Trump says climate change is a hoax meant to hurt American profits.
Terror in Germany: The Truth They Hide
Khufu says...The problem here is this: IS is carrying out (or inspiring) these attacks in order to incite hate. They are hoping the weak-minded closet-racists will react without second-though against ALL Muslims, thus creating an ACTUAL reason for the moderate Muslims(there are a lot of them) to join the fight thus upsetting the balance and giving IS more power. The best way to fight back is to not fall for this BS that all Muslims are out to get you.

Love it .. All above sifter have their heads up their buts.
The guy is right. If this crap being done was by NAZIs the left would be up in arms.

California Election Fraud-NPP Voters Get Provisional Ballot
Khufu says...In Canada the political parties vote for their party leaders internally. So when it's time for us Canadian citizens to vote, the party leader is already chosen. In the states the people get to vote for who should lead each party, so you can imagine that they'd only want the people associated with that party to have a say. + what newtboy said.
Can someone explain this to us?
In Canada we walk up, are handed a paper ballot, we go behind a cardboard screen, strike an X in the preferred vote box with a pencil, pass it back to the person running the table, who puts it into the Ballot box in front of us, and then we walk out.
If I'm understanding what she's saying, you need to register how you're going to vote before you vote??
-Why would people be given different Ballot sheets to vote on? -Why do you need to be registered with one party or another to get to vote?
-Why would people who are not registered with a party, get a completely different type of voter sheet?
-Why would A Provisional Ballot exist?
-Why would Provisional Ballots never get counted?
None of this makes sense to me.
WTH is going on with US Democracy system? - which seems to be the least democratic system I've ever seen.
Answers...?
Can You Solve the Bridge Riddle?
Khufu says...ya I though about it the same way... first that, to save the most time, you need the two slowest crossing at once, the rest falls into place pretty quickly/obviously.
By a process of elimination - you know you can't do it with just the 1 minute guy ferrying everyone because 10+5+2=17 so no time for 2 return trips even at 1 minute. That made me realise two big numbers had to cross together without a big number ferrying it back. Then i just fiddled until i found a way to bring the lantern back from their trip without using up 5 minutes.
However i spent 15 minutes thinking about it, so me and 2 minutes sprinted across to safety.
