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...

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.

a village hires a ragtag group of mercenaries
As I recall, they were working for food... It was a rather charitable act that they risked their lives for the villagers.

The "migration path" lines generating pop-ups on mouse over makes the map entirely unusable, IMHO. You've got to hide those (which makes the map less useful) THEN you can mouse-over properly, and click around to see individual location info.

Kind of interesting to see individuals who just went from some small town a sort distance to the big city nearby, but the map doesn't show their names, net worth, dates, etc. And of course, plenty of people were born in a location where they didn't didn't spend much time at all before moving, so some/many of these billionaires may have no connection to their birthplace.

Small folding grocery carts that hold a couple full bags are available. If you need much more than that, a collapsible wagon will hold a whole shopping trip worth, and cost under $40.

I hate having to deal with the bum anti-theft wheel when pushing a shopping cart thru the store, but I admit I've seen people who take a cart home with them every week and just leave dozens of them there... can't ever be bothered to push even one of them back, so I guess making that bad behavior more of a hassle somehow is necessary.

Flexible drill bits are quite uncommon these days. First because modern brushless electric impacts are so short that it's easy to get into tight spaces that were formerly quite difficult with (much longer) electric drills. But more than that, you can just get a universal flexible extension bit holder that'll work with any size of hex drill bits you need to use. Though I'd say a right-angle drill adapter works a lot better in tight spots than a flexible one. With a flex, you have to use a drill smaller than the hole you need, because it flops around and enlarges the hole a bit, and quite a bit more effort to hold in place.
If you needed to do a lot of tight-spaces work, there are extra short, "stubby" impacts, as well as dedicated "right angle"/"close quarters" drills/impacts that'll make the job easier than using angle/swivel adapters.

Can't wait to see this trend take off... Large numbers of people going out to find wasp nests, knocking them down and bringing them into their homes. I just hope the full process is recorded, for everyone to enjoy.
