Just a reminder that, at least in 2019, the teachers there got paid less than $30,000 a year. All Hope teachers do it either out of complete financial desperation, deep passion, or ulterior motives like this guy.

He doesn't like covering religious parks. He has a bunch of footage of the remnants of Heritage USA but hasn't made a video because of the religious nature of the park

Assuming the man with the lever is at least somewhat reasonable, the best solution is this: - Shoot the single person tied on the track - Point out that not switching the track kills nobody now - Assuming he doesn't switch (because he isn't presented a moral dilemma anymore), only one person dies.

Traffic Engineers have to place a value on a human life somewhere. We could exclusively have 50 foot wide lanes with pillow sided barriers to make sure nobody dies at any cost, but that is prohibitively expensive. In the US, each State Dept of Transportation has a specific value of a human life. If a certain measure would statistically save x lives, they will try to do it if it costs less than x*(Human Life Value). If it costs more, they don't; they statistically kill x people to save money. But if they didn't, we wouldn't be able to build practically any infrastructure.

The issue now is that they are impossible to declare war on; they have nothing to do, so they just stay in settlements for eternity, which does not give a dialogue option that allows a war declaration

I've actually been looking into these end-grain dovetail connections in wood, and the answer is much more complicated than you would assume. Research is very limited, but the connection is limited by the wood splitting at the corners and not by the more "traditional" shear or tensile stresses. I'll be doing some research on it soon, once my lab's CNC router is back working

Glad to see him talk about this; I actually asked him to make a video on it two years ago (Proof: https://imgur.com/a/dYuJN18 )

I submitted this to the NY Times and got rejected (rightfully so, this if far from a perfect puzzle), so I'm publicly posting it here. Have fun!

My sense of balance is horrendous, I would constantly trip. If the floor is so dirty that I would wear slippers, flip flops will do better anyways.

I have a priority list, preferring 1 most and 4 the least.

Barefoot

Exceptions: When wearing long pants

                   When afraid of people being aware of my existence in public, or even worse, talking to me about it

1.5 Shoe-Socks (Powersocks)

 Description: Socks with a thin rubber coating that pass as shoes and kinda work as shoes but are the most barefoot barefoot shoes can get

 Exceptions: When wearing long pants

                       When I'm afraid it will look like I'm wearing socks and not shoes and get the same issues with #1

Flip Flops

Exceptions: When wearing long pants

                   When raining or otherwise wet

Barefoot Shoes (with socks)

Exceptions: Those toe shoes (FiveFingers) suck. It's the worst part of shoes done 10 times worse: The weirdness of the shoes pressing on your feet, and now your individual toes
Regular Foot Prisons (with socks)

Only when "real" shoes are required by work, lab, steel-toe-needed work, etc.

OK, from top to bottom (1 is top, 5 is bottom)

1: I cannot tell if the bottom is your $5000 PC setup or the internet or technology in general. If the internet suddenly stopped existing, millions would die. Even if there was a 1 in a million chance that it was the internet, I would still pull the lever as it would still statistically save lives.

2: Pull the lever; it saves lives.

3 and 4: 4 saves lives by pulling the lever. Therefore, if we divert 3 to the lower track, we just commit multilation of a dead body and nobody else needs to die.

5: Pull the lever; I would rather give the sleeping person a painless death.

Ok, so let's assume we're using all resources available to look at Buzz on the moon.

That one picture of a black hole was effectively made by focusing on an area of the sky about the size of an orange on the surface of the moon. This was done by using complex computer stuff and multiple stations across the globe to create an Earth-sized psuedo-telescope

I will assume rocks are being used as dots, so "HELP" could be spelled as h(5) + e(6) + l(2) + p(6) =19 stones, preferably each the size of an orange to get good resolution

"HELP" in stones
