YouTube vids you think are cool and people will enjoy

i've been working my way through the Practical Engineering's content...kind of a mix of history, engineering, "how it works", and "why this happened" (the Oroville Dam spillway, for example...).

Foresthill Bridge history

Oroville Dam
 

I had no idea that Byron Hines had a hand in building the RC Engineering bikes.

Both of these were excellent.
 
California fuel crisis impacting NV and AZ;

ADMIN EDIT: Please post in the PolSink. Really good vid, but the amount of Gov Good Hair crap in it is non-refundable.

Have not watched but that looks pretty political.
 
I think its fine to have political content, just not in ways (either side) that are out of context, intentionally misleading or with mean intent, and blind to at least trying to recognize other views while disagreeing. As if that will happen in our lifetimes...ever. Its when folks escalate the exchange with no attempt to see/understand the opposing view that its headed for the toilet

Say now, that would be fun to see two AI's start small with opposing views and see how it escalates and spins out of control with ultimate smoke and flames coming out of one's PC or phone.

Well I enjoyed the video, but it is political and once those doors are opened the Mods will need to review all sort of potential Political content so best to just keep it behind the curtain unfortunately.

I don't like the idea of someone spending 5 minutes on an AI prompt which results in an hour long video stuffed with claims and facts that would take hours to fact check. Especially when I don't know who is behind the AI prompt or their intentions. Too easy to be led down a path of misinformation. Especially especially when the YouTube account in question was created less than two weeks ago and a five minute dig into the person finds a single blog post that is also less than two weeks old.

Understood and good point. Like many, I have neither the time nor inclination to fact check well, anything, on the intrawebnet. I tend to set my BS dial at medium and keep watching- the information and presentation will push it up or down.

Consider; if only 1/3 of that vid is BS- it represents a massive, delinquent, performance by the governor. I'd like to see his response & can't imagine he won't speak to that and expect to run for POTUS.
 
Just in, different source;

ADMIN EDIT: Still political. Best to give up vs being suspended.
 
Nope. These are fun and interesting YouTube videos.
No fun stuff in the PolSink. :teeth
 
That was OK, but I was hoping to see he would have gotten another beat down. What a low life.
 
I suspect his beat downs have just begun. :thumbup
 
A couple of shorts that are fun.

One for @Enchanter
I love these!!!

Hanging out watching some feel good shorts. I love these things and at time they hit my heart with an onion spear. Enjoy if you are inclined.
