Funny thing is, these guys reach the exact opposite conclusion as the similar video posted on Neatorama last month:

In short, one of these two is spreading myths, not debunking them, so don't get your medical advice from Neatorama...

Interesting... Around here the homeless have gathered around a strip of the river that is closest to town, living mostly in tents, or a few slightly better off in old trailers or vans. A huge mess with no sanitation, an explosion of crime with ridiculous numbers of calls to police, and a new fire to fight every few weeks.

All efforts to give them somewhere else to go have been summarily shot-down by zoning regulations. I believe the minimum is one home per 8,000sqft lot, and local advocates don't have the resources for a legal battle to challenge the zoning regs.

It's a California thing... There is no history in the area. There are no historical artifacts to dig-up... no point in buying a metal detector. No great battles were fought in the area. With select few exception, nobody occupied any of it until a few hundred years ago, and the vast majority far, FAR more recently. History is just not a "thing" in California for those reasons and more, it's something that exists elsewhere...

And now with the entire population migrating further south-west every year, it's gone beyond "full" and property that your parents could have purchased for a few month's wages is now worth tens of millions. Ranch houses are replaced with McMansions, apartments & condos are built everywhere they can be, commercial buildings being replaced with high-rises, and there's no sign of the trend reversing.

This might *almost* be useful! How many places sell a medium for almost the same price as a large? If you could buy an UNSLICED large pizza, you could use this trick to cut it down to a medium for someone who wants it, and then have some left over for yourself.

"Shhhhhh!"

"Bleep blorp!"

And in the future, when one of them gets buried by an avalanche, maybe a moose will dig them out...

Back in the 19th century, Canada wasn't our close ally. US military invaded Canada in the 1812 war with Britain. In 1846 the Oregon boundary dispute could have resulted in an all-out US/Canada land war, too. There was no way to know, back then, that Canada would become an ally. And even if someone had that foresight, avoiding the intervening years of hostilities would surely have been worth the cost. Domestic control is important for investment, too. Would all the US oil companies have gambled their entire assets on the Alaskan pipeline, if Alaska was held by a foreign country? Canada didn't have the assets to make that happen, and likely not the political will, either.

Not to mention that we don't know what the future holds, today, and if relations with Canada go bad for any reason, Alaska could again be a critical piece of land to posses. Canada puts restrictions on a number of their domestic industries, from maple syrup to banning large fresh water exports, etc. They could similarly change their policy on oil exports at any time.

Today, with Arctic oil/gas extraction looming larger, it's only because of Alaska that the US will be entitled to a large share of the pie, mostly a 3 way split between the US, Canada and Russia, which could be massively profitable.

Hmm... Next time somebody shoots at me, I'm going to shield myself with a giant gummy bear.

The bun taco has been around since the 1970s. Del Taco is just bringing it back after fairly recently dropping it. Same goes for their tostadas & orange shakes. It's the small taco salad I'm happiest to see come back... They use a bit too much lettuce, but otherwise a great tasting and kinda-healthy meal.

Problem is, he's promoting a few studies that support his own particular OPINION, while finding completely ridiculous reasons to discredit, out-of-hand, studies that got the opposite result. Then, he promotes his alternative explanation (being indoors spreads colds) without citing ANY studies for it!

Same goes for alcohol. It doesn't warm you up, but it promotes circulation to your extremities both making you feel warmer, and reducing your chance of frostbite. Now, you might think that you're avoiding frostbite by risking hypothermia, but the statistics on actual incidents just do not show that alcohol increases risk of hypothermia, either. So alcohol causing hypothermia has much less evidence to support it, than the theory of being cold causing colds, does... In this light, his two positions are strangely contradictory.
