And to think, all the months I've wasted because of that sign, looking through the brush expecting to find a misplaced Olde English 800...

The road has been dubbed the deadliest highway in Arizona, averaging 35 fatal crashes every year.

There are only TWO highways that cross the entire state. As the two longest, one of them was bound to be the deadliest. And worse, they say later: the other one is "also a top contender nationwide."

Please don't take his advice about drinking sea water. He was well-hydrated enough at the start of his journey that drinking a little sea water only mildly dehydrated him. Later, he was successful enough at fishing that he got enough liquids from his food to make up for the little bit of sea water he continued to consume.

"We also chose to use real knives, which sounds absurd, but we wanted to be authentic."

"Every now and then I’d feel a shudder, a sense that I shouldn’t be alive."

I'm inclined to agree with him... They were playing a game of Russian roulette. An unbelievably reckless decision that everyone involved should have known *would* go wrong at some point, and everyone should have refused to take any part in. You can't rely on actors to safely handle deadly weapons while they simultaneously need to dedicate all their focus to their performances.

Looks like a 10 year old's crayon drawing.

I could understand portholes on the 1st floor, if not for the full sized windows elsewhere, but why on the upper floors, and why the mixture of some round and some square?

‘The 13th Warrior’ (1999)

Actually a pretty good film. Just started out slow (and gross), but turned into a solid guy movie. I'd say it fell victim to bad advertising... Commercials I saw just showed Antonio Banderas dressed in sheets & acting like a whiny coward. Really didn't capture the (action/battle) feel of the film. Critics were harsh, too, but audiences rated it 66% positive.

And their list goes back to 1995, but DOESN'T include Waterworld???

Sounds like they saved Sylvia's life, and that particular cub would have been a very poor fit for a zoo. Quick search reveals "Grizzly cubs face high mortality rates, with about 45% of first-year cubs and 40% of yearlings (ages one to four) dying" so his odds of survival even with his mother around could have been just as bad, or perhaps worse. The wilderness is a rough place, and making it a year on his own suggests he did reasonably well for himself.

Don't nearly-all youtubers have that same handheld gimbal selfie stick? Stick a coffee mug on that...

"Walk without rhythm and you won't attract the worm."

And SciShow, 8+ million subscribers going for 13+ years at this point, is still making videos like a powerpoint rookie giving their very first public presentation...
Don’t read from your PowerPoint slides
You could forgive people for thinking that receiving the message in two ways, on screen and verbally, will help to reinforce it, but actually the exact opposite is true.
