Yep. I understand it, being able to stream my physical Xbox to my phone or tablet when I’m away from home is awesome.

It’s okay as a spinoff. But it’s very much not the same show.

There are a staggering number of varieties of plastics, and an insane number of uses for them that aren’t easily replicated with other known materials. Some of those plastics are much worse than others.

Plastic is not inherently “pollution.” That’s not to say that plastics don’t make up a significant amount of the world’s pollution, but like literally everything in life, it’s not as simple as a black-and-white.

Plastics aren’t inherently bad. Just like anything else, it’s the misuse that makes them bad.

Largely done already, as I understand it. Most use zinc now.

I kind of love that about his videos. I scoff at the time, but then start the video and next thing I know it’s a half hour later and I’ve learned something in a surprising amount of depth.

I like a world where not everything needs to be 5 minute videos. Some things can be longer form.

Now, if you decide you want to see more of the gang and their shenanigans, there is a single season of a spin-off show called “Scrubs: Med School.” It’s okay. Not great. It’s certainly not Scrubs though.

I feel compelled to say Scrubs s08e19, which is weird because they only ever made eight seasons of Scrubs.

People use the term “strong as an ox.” Oxen don’t eat meat.

I find it easier to just add/subtract 12, the problem is that I sometimes accidentally add/subtract 10.

Fortunately my wife is both gracious and adventurous in this regard, and is cool with having most of our stuff on Celsius. I switched before we were married, and she’s slowly learning by virtue of everything being on Celsius except her phone.

Edit: Also, this may be helpful, I came up with a heuristic early on to approximate Fahrenheit values to help me learn.

I memorized every 10 (and eventually every 5) and then approached from the nearest memorized point using 2°F per 1°C instead of 1.8.

For example, if something said 22°C, I’d start at 20°C=68°F and work my way up, adding 4, to get to 72°F. Since the actual value is 71.6°F, that’s close enough.

If you forget a 10 or a 5 it’s easy to recalculate them if you know another, because it’s 9°F per 5°C. So if 20 is 68, and 30 is 86, then 25 is 77.

(Obviously you could also do the full conversion but that takes me more time.)
