The Horse Horseshoe Boots Viral Algebra Problem

RedSky says...

In the last row, you multiply first then add second so you get 21.

SevenFingers said:

I got 22..


Horse is 10, each horseshoe is 2, so double horseshoe is 4, cowboy boot is 1, so double boot is 2


also I didn't watch the video just saw the problems on the thumbnail

The EpiPen and What's Wrong with American Healthcare

RedSky says...

Also worth pointing out, when employer subsidized insurance does cover the exorbitant cost of these drugs, it's still being implicitly paid for, but is hidden as a lower salary.

Debunking Hydration/Dehydration - Adam Ruins Everything

RedSky says...

No, the meta-study I linked is saying that there is insufficient statistical evidence to suggest dehydration leads to muscle cramps in controlled forward looking studies, contrary to anecdotal backward looking claims which are statistically less rigorous.

Khufu said:

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.

Debunking Hydration/Dehydration - Adam Ruins Everything

RedSky says...

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."

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.

How Americans got stuck with endless drug commercials

RedSky says...

I remember seeing those when I lived in the states as a kid (with the long list of side effects at the end) and being completed baffled.

How the World Map Looks Wildly Different Than You Think

Britain Leaving the EU - For and Against, Good or Bad?

RedSky says...

@gorillaman

"Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others."

I still just don't think at a fraction of 11% it's worth worrying about. Certainly not enough to actually alter social law. You look at France (also at 11% immigrant) and if anything there's been overreaction with the bans on face covering.

I'm sure the UK could do more to encourage assimilation. A basic part of that would simply be making a better effort of pushing migrants into training / jobs if they're not immediately able to, which forces you to adapt to the country's culture and mores. Settling migrants in poor areas with often high existing unemployment rates is a terrible way to integrate migrants and also naturally stirs up hate among the local population.

Groups of migrants will tend to congregate when they arrive but even if some of these initially end up on welfare, there's always a strong financial incentive to become employed which will force them to integrate. Meanwhile, we know that even if the migrants are religious, their children and further descendants are much less likely to be.

Britain Leaving the EU - For and Against, Good or Bad?

RedSky says...

Do you really think an 11% immigrant population (for the UK) is going to change social policy? Especially when many of these immigrants aren't religious or socially conservative? This seems like one of those things that people have said enough that it becomes accepted as the truth ...

gorillaman said:

I never thought I'd grow up to care about immigration, but it turns out I don't like seeing millions of social conservatives marching into western europe from lesser cultures, pushing back against the progress we've made in recent decades.

Yeah, the vlog guys always have something interesting to add. Compared to Brazil, I gotta say we still look practically squeaky clean

Thanks

I actually thought I'd been following the story, but the vid mentioned things that were new to me.

As Australians I think we can appreciate the sentiment of corruption investigations ending in pizza

How To Crack An Electronic Safe With A Magnet And A Sock

RedSky says...

Another way of thinking of it, is consumer safes are sold on their appearance and spec sheet rather than their reliability.

These companies know that only select businesses and a minority of consumers will do their research.

Kind of similar to how consumer and business laptops differ in that business laptops tend to look very plain but are generally much more durable.
