Yep.  And they are often also too fond of themselves.  Ten minutes of

The ones who know how to plan out what they're going to show and just
cover the material are gold.

The absolute best videos on YouTube come from Andrew Camarata.
No BS, he just films what he does.
The production quality rivals the best you see on TV.
No, scratch that, way better than anything on TV.
Many are an hour long and that's way too short.

There's something for everybody amazing scenery, heavy equipment,
dogs, problem solving, humor, and inspiration.

Interestingly Andrew went to college for computer studies but
decided to do heavy equipment instead.  Sort of like that guy
in office space.

First time I joined a fan club and I don't even like dogs.
I feel like I should make a pilgrimage to Saugerties.
What a beautiful part of the country.

I highly recommend the videos of Mark Rober.

Mark Rober is a former NASA engineer whose work includes designing some of the
instrumentation for one of the Mars rovers.  In addition to showcasing his
inventiveness and design skills, the videos' writing, pacing, camera work, and
editing are all excellent.  Some topics include building a giant super soaker,
dropping a car onto a custom trampoline, creating a glitter bomb in response to
package thieves, trying to design a squirrel-proof bird feeder, some high-tech
Halloween costumes, and explaining how the physics behind seemingly simple
carnival games of skill make them so hard to beat.  His data-driven approach is
interesting, entertaining, and at times informative, and he doesn't get bogged
down in the details.

Hmm, watched "Does Farting Make You Weigh Less?".
I did not use Google to check the density or air vs methane.
If I had I would have guessed no, instead I guessed yes.
I figured they were close.

I also figured there's a certain amount of moisture which would be a lot
more dense than air.  I also figured the fart inside your body is under pressure.
Mark didn't consider either of these factors.

The fart is going to be at 98F.  Mark didn't mention air temperature or
altitude at all.

Since air density is 1.2 kg/m^3 and methane is .67 kg/m^3 I'm guessing
he's right.

So, did not subscribe.  A bit too simple minded for me.

Another guy I like is Thoisoi2 who does chemistry.
Chemistry for grownups.  He did one on iodine a while back.
Before that, I'd never seen iodine in it's metallic state.

Who needs Google (or even DuckDuckGo, if you'd rather not
put up with the surveillance)?  Methane (CH4) has a molecular
weight of 16, while air, being a mixture of roughly 80% N2
(molecular weight 28) and 20% O2 (molecular weight 32),
averages out to about 29.  Methane is considerably lighter.

> I also figured there's a certain amount of moisture which

Depends on whether you think of it as liquid water (800
times as dense as air) or water vapour (molecular weight 18).

> I also figured the fart inside your body is under pressure.
> Mark didn't consider either of these factors.

The pressure would be a small fraction of an atmosphere,
so it shouldn't be significant.

> The fart is going to be at 98F.  Mark didn't mention

98F is about 310K; room temperature air (say, 70F) would be
about 294K.  That's only about a 5% change.  As for altitude,
both the fart and the ambient air will expand by the same
amount.  Farting at altitude is just equalization, after all.  :-)

Without knowing any of that, I guess I could have gotten there
by knowing that Methane is CH4.  The Carbon is in the same
neighborhood as Oxygen and Nitrogen but the Hydrogen is
the lightest element by far.

As for Google surveillance, please Google remember everything
I type.  I love when I type the letter Y and it knows I want
YouTube.  I've got nothing to hide.

I normally run Firefox with an ad-blocker.  I had no idea that YouTube shows
ads.  To help these companies out during the shut down,
when I had to switch to Google Chrome
I didn't install an ad blocker.  It's funny, I bought some rubber
gym flooring.  Now everywhere I go I see rubber flooring ads.
I already bought the stuff, do they really think I'm going to buy more?

So, now Google knows I'm also interested in farts and density.
Doesn't matter to me.

The software that makes the determination of what kind of ad to
present appears to be an example of the "artificial stupidity" branch
of AI.  How many washing machines do they think someone buys in a
lifetime?

Ah, but at the moment, the question is "who's intereted in washing 
machines?" They don't know that you've bought one. Once they've gotrt 
better data/surveillance, that'll be fixed.

Even at that level it’s stupid. If I research washing machines in January,
by June I’ve either bought one or decided I’m not interested, so,it’s
stupid to,keep showing me the ads. I’ve seen this a few times where six
months later I get an ad for some durable item with a long lifespan.

And I'm pretty sure that if I bought the thing on Amazon then Amazon
knows that I bought the thing.

Its like the Tivo, you watch something out of curiosity, and the Tivo
starts downloading more of the same.

Thats from seeing someone else talk about it, never had a Tivo.

I think it says something that you picked a fart video on which to judge him.
To anyone else, I would suggest choosing a video where he builds something.
The squirrel video is one of the longest at over twenty minutes, but it has some
excellent slow-motion footage that demonstrates the feats these critters are
capable of, as well as some of the physics involved.

I was tempted by the squirrel video but I've battled them myself.
I figured I already knew it was hopeless.

Maybe I'll check.

Years ago I wanted a bird feeder in the yard but I didn't want
a squirrel feeder.  After a few attempts I decided, there was no
way a squirrel could get up a smooth half inch metal pole coated in
grease.

Next morning I saw my greased metal pole converted into a mud covered
metal pole with a squirrel throwing seed everywhere.

So, sometimes I enjoy the squirrel launcher videos.

My hero AC builds lots of stuff and gets right to it.
Doesn't talk about it like this guy.  Until you see him install
a radio in his truck with a chainsaw you haven't seen anything.
Not sure your guy is in the same league, but like I said,
maybe I'll look again.

I was impressed by squirrels' ability to shinny down the 2-foot
wire with which I hung the feeder from a tree branch.  Even when
I installed a plastic dome above the feeder, they proved quite
resourceful in getting around it.

> So, sometimes I enjoy the squirrel launcher videos.

I finally got a gadget called a "Yankee Flipper", a feeder whose
perches were hooked to an electric motor which was triggered by
the weight of a squirrel but not by birds.  I witnessed a couple
of events which were even more amusing than the squirrel launcher.

It may have sounded like that but it's nothing like that.

I'll post a link:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PClVezOduFk

This one is only 18 minutes.
He often gets a little brutal but check out the result.
At the end he's got a really nice looking radio in the truck.

There's another one where he's trying one thing after another
to remove the hydraulic cylinder from a tractor.  This is while
it's inside his shop.  He finally maneuvers the bucket from his
excavator inside the door of the shop and yanks it off.
Without breaking anything.  I can't stop laughing just typing this.

Got to go do some more painting.

OK, definitely not quite Red Green.  He seems to know what
he's doing, and I didn't see a single piece of duct tape.

I love his "easy-access dash".

Plus three ad breaks, grrr...

Nice editorializing at the end.

> At the end he's got a really nice looking radio in the truck.

The Detroid auto stylists must be tearing their hair out, though.

He's got a video when he talks about what Detroit does.
Some of it right on the mark.

He's got another video where he an his friends take some
cars into a field and drive them to destruction.
That's where he makes one of his most famous comments,
"it broke for no reason".

He says he's got a CyberTruck on order.

I really can't get enough.
When I hear comments about "kids today" he's the first
thing that comes to mind.  They're still making
some fine human beings.
