Title changed, and tags altered once more so that people might actually find the video.
^mauz15, I should have left the 'sebaceous cyst' tag I originally had on this. I hate it when I get blockages in the openings of the meibomian glands... especially if I'm wearing contacts. I had no idea they went that far into the eyelid. Thanks for pointing that out.
So, how deep in the skin does a build-up of sebum (or whatever) have to be for the problem to be a cyst, and not a pimple? (not talking specifically about meibomian glands here).


a cyst is different from a pimple in the sense that the cyst is more like a sac, whereas a pimple is like a blockage, a comedo (whitehead/blackhead), papules (red pimples) and pustules (like whiteheads but deeper) resulting from blockage of a hair follicle, oil glands, and other causes I don't know about. How deep? I don't know, probably a lesion is considered a cyst if it makes it to the second skin layer, which is the dermis.

edit: apparently if it is 5mm across, it is a cyst, but I got that from some regular website so it could be false.

As a jazz noob, it would be nice if someone with experience could tell me the quality of this documentary. Ken burns is good at documentaries, but does he know enough about jazz? I find the series interesting, but have my doubts.

no offense taken.. but I still prefer my translation (not a native speaker by the way.. so further corrections are welcome).
He could have said "are you kidding me" in English. In that case the "you" doesn't need to refer to an actual person.


Spanish speaker here, you may prefer it but ponceleon was correct translation-wise.

'I can't believe it' would be = 'No lo puedo creer' which is more common to use, but in this case the guy used 'I cannot believe you' (where 'te' refers to 'you')

You are right in the sense that saying it is almost like saying in English something like 'you got to be kidding me' where the you does not need to be specific.

Please correct me if I am wrong, Scientology is a pseudoscience/religion. Neither of those two is philosophy. There is philosophy OF religion, but it does not follow that religion = a philosophy.
Therefore I am removing this from the philosophy channel.


It depends on which definition you choose to use, but Scientology refers to itself as a "religious philosophy". I think it fits most definitions.

"An applied religious philosophy, Scientology is contained in more than 40 books and over 2,500 tape-recorded lectures... "
http://www.scientology.org/l-ron-hubbard/meet/pg001.html


I'm using the definition that comes from the word itself: Love of wisdom. To pursue the truth for the sake of wisdom. How? through a constant examination of life and reality by the use of rational inquiry. To do this one must use sound arguments and educated debate, instead of reaching a conclusion based on opinions, beliefs, dogmas, feelings, or self labeling ("we are a religious philosophy")

Philosophy as a discipline, not as a 'way of life'. Some people go 'well my sports philosophy is to give always 110%" yeah...that's not philosophy, just a worldview. A worldview that you can rightly philosophize about, but that does not mean it is part of philosophy.
