Why Geography Makes The US Insanely OP
Taking that video at face value (as I don't have the time or expertise to evaluate it factually) that's so extraordinarily interesting tat it deserves an instant *promote.
In particular, it gives better explanations of of America's disgraceful treatment of Cuba, and the the environmentally terrible practice of fracking than I've ever seen, let alone from a single source.
Not only that, it's also demonstrated the value of a few practices I've personally seen in Russia (and read about elsewhere), such as the move from globalisation to self-sufficiency, and the value of control of boundaries/borders, regardless of the short-term and local impact.
What it doesn't go into is the American push to control the cultural narrative globally, particularly in the western hemisphere, but that's more a consequence of their supremacy in other areas, and doesn't depend on geography. i.e. while I ramble about further aspects, the video stayed expertly on topic. Bravo.
The Infamous Aldeyjarfoss | Kayaking Iceland Part 3
There isn’t a single McDonalds in all of Iceland!! One more draw for the most beautiful country in the Northern hemisphere. Just stunning…all of it. Highly recommend.
👍 👍 parts 1 and 2
Didn't see one McDonalds out there
1000 Year Heatwave Becoming The Norm
Before "someone" spouts off about this being a singular, isolated weather event in America and Canada, it's happening world wide.
All time record high temperatures are also happening in Europe, Asia, Africa including ground temperatures in Siberia above the arctic circle at 118F, not so good for permafrost that should be near freezing. Mexico has seen all time high temperatures for June exceeding 125F, nighttime low temperatures are also shattering all time highs like 105F overnight in palm springs, and over 70F was the overnight low in S Africa (southern hemisphere) on the WINTER solstice. Let's not forget, June is typically the coolest summer month.
It's hard to imagine this not triggering feedback loops like permafrost releasing methane and less ice reflecting heat that are each, by themselves, more than we could possibly counteract with current technology with an unlimited budget and the collective will to try. Combined, and without the unlimited funds or collective will to act, it's looking like game over, man.
Somehow "we told you so" hardly seems sufficient.

Vox: Why the US celebrates Columbus Day
He may never have reached Asia as planned, but one cannot discount the sheer will required to make his journey. At the age of 41, he defied naysayers across Europe and led four voyages across an uncharted ocean in wooden sailing ships that were not designed to take on the punishing waters of the Atlantic.
In what has become known as the Columbian Exchange, Columbus’ voyages enabled the exchange of plants, animals, cultures, ideas (and, yes, disease) between the Western and Eastern Hemispheres. Once the Europeans were able to reach nearly all parts of the globe, a new modern age would begin, transforming the world forever.
Some historians have taken the position that while brutal, Columbus was simply a product of his times and being a figure of the 15th century should not be judged by the morality of the 20th-century.
Mean Tweets – Avengers Edition
LOL. I dont know why I even bother.
First of all, I'm not even in the northern hemisphere (again, you're bubble) and have no love for Trump or white-supremacists. In fact I'm half Maori so I guess that makes you're whole argument moot.
I really fear for our future with all the closed minded, bubble living idiots like you coming out of the wood-work now.
Nah, I just think you're a closed-minded douche.
The comment I was replying to was about "racism" towards whites. Not sure where non-white on non-white racism comes into this. I just don't believe making fun of, or critisizing, or generalization of whites can be considered racism. We're on top. If someone marginalized by whites marginalizes someone else further down the oppression scale, that would certainly be racism.
As for the Nazi reference, I'm sure you're one of the good ones Trump told us were at Charlottesville.

Another yearly Happy Birthday salutation from the Northern Hemisphere and yer Playhouse SiftPal. May it be a Beaut mate!
Erics PSA: Don't forget to vote for the videos you like (Sift Talk Post)
Is it because of summer break for northern hemisphere? Like go outside?
Oregon Polar Bear Awakes to Snow. BLISS!
The problem isn't what we eat, how we ship it, or the pollution it causes, it's how much we do those things. We could all eat beef from the other hemisphere if there were 700000000 of us instead of well over 7000000000 without outpacing the planet's ability to absorb the waste. We can't continue to improve living conditions AND expand populations. One or the other trend will reverse course....if not both.
Chrysler Hemi FirePower Engine Rebuild Time Lapse
Nice.
I wish they paid more attention to the combustion chamber. Most people don't know what a hemi is beyond a powerful motor. The hemispherical combustion chamber produces far more power than a normally shaped one. Even partial hemispherical combustion chambers (semi-hemi) can seriously increase the power of most motors....but also decreases the fuel efficiency.
I use a semi-hemi cut 1776 VW motor in my race buggy, and it outperforms much larger motors.
Irish People Taste Test Thanksgiving Food
Hipster millennials might have to put up with that shit, but I never had anything but amazing turkey in my youth.
To this day, my Xmas in july (Southern Hemisphere winter) dinners are the stuff of legend.
If you dare impugn my countrymans amazing turkey, you will have to come to NZ and I will cook a fantastic meal for you! That'll learn ya...
I can't believe the dry obviously commercial breastmeat slabs they gave them. Yerk. Turkey must really suck in Ireland to have that sad excuse of a lunchmeat be praised.

CGP Grey - You Are Two (Brains)
There is actually an argument that our brains are three due to the way the frontal cortex works. (not the "triune brain" which is a different idea)
The frontal part can exercise control over the two hemispheres and is about as close as we have gotten to identifying where free will comes from. Certainly, in people who have had frontal brain damage there appears to be a direct link to lack of impulse control.
Almost every serial killer in history appears to have had some manner of frontal brain trauma at some stage in their lives and the link to delinquency is fairly well documented by this stage.
The latest research suggests consciousness itself is a fractal programme running co-operatively across the brain, but it remains pretty obscure none the less. The frontal cortex is split between left and right hemispheres, but it certain appears to behave as one in healthy brains.
The best way I could describe it is that the left and right represent the animistic unconsidered side of our behaviour and desires as we see in most animals (interacting via the corpus callosum that connects them). With the frontal cortex seeming to represent the higher functions that allow us to harness the rest of our brain in more considered and abstract ways (presumably also split into left and right).
I think of it like the foreman directing the other divisions of the factory but staying largely hands off when considered decisions don't need to be made.
All of the above is a gross oversimplification though. We can guess at the basis for free will, but it remains elusive.
Holy crap, that is amazing! Is this really true?
CGP Grey - You Are Two (Brains)
imo, this goes to the idea that "consciousness" is emergent. consciousness is made up of a multitude of less conscious/non-conscious parts and the totality creates what we call consciousness or "you". there is no singular "you". you are a collective of parts. splitting the hemispheres means 2 large subsections of you don't communicate with each other as well as they used to (they still communicate but the speed of that communication is too slow for them to operate as a cohesively single collective).
Real Climate Scientist Demolishes Global Warming Alarmism
Sweet Bastard Zombie Jesus!
This guy claims that global warming is happening because the core is hotter that it used to be, not because of anything people did or the atmosphere at all, then he goes on to contradict himself by saying this bit of cranial rectosis inspired insanity....
Climate Myth VS What the Science Says
"the warming trend over the Northern Hemisphere, where virtually all of the thermometer data exist, is a function of population density at the thermometer site."
30 March 2012 (Source)
Urban and rural regions show the same warming trend.
What a brain dead tool, followed only by others of his ilk.
Who is Roy Spencer and what does he think. This stuff seems relevant if you're going to take the time to listen to him at all.
