    This one took almost exactly a year to get from script to screen, and I know that some of the topics went on to be covered on Brain Blaze and on other Whistlerverse channels in the meantime.
    But here’s hoping that the next Epic Blaze doesn’t take quite as long to make it to UA-cam.
    In fact, fingers crossed, it should be popping up fairly soon, along with the tin opener that I lent Simon about nine years ago.

    Medicine Hat is in Canada, thank you! And it's an interpretation of the Blackfoot word "Saamis," which refers to the eagle tail feather worn in a medicine man's headdress. Why it was called Saamis is explained in a couple of conflicting legends, so the truth of the matter may be lost to time...or at least not readily available to someone doing a 5 minute wiki dive because, yeah, Medicine Hat is an odd name, and I was curious why it was called that!.
    But yeah, English speaking people showed up and went "'Saamis' is to hard to say, we need to translate it! Oh, it's the feathers used to make hats for medicine men? Well, now it's Medicine Hat!"

    I'm convinced that Simon consumes copious amounts of alcohol before recording these videos. I've been watching him since almost the beginning, and he was much more low key. The stories were interesting, so I kept watching him. Over the last two years or so, he's really loosened up, going off on tangents, and sometimes just babbling, and now it's fantastic. It's like just sitting around with friends drunk and/or stoned. One of my favorite channels.

    • @ThisIsATireFire
      @ThisIsATireFire 10 місяців тому +2

      Right? I was just thinking that I've definitely got to go back and watch a bunch of stuff that I missed, because one of the first videos I saw from Simon, he was saying that he didn't want to share his own political views, that wasn't something he intended to do.
      This is a lot more like listening to a friend tell me about the crazy shit they found out about over the weekend, instead of getting a lecture on something I'm interested in enough to sit through it.
      So I definitely like and will be watching more of evolved Simon.

    Finally, something I know!
    Mare is a female horse. If you're into MLP you learn more than you want about horses. Adults are stallions and mares, foals are younguns, colts and fillies.
    But that's irrelevant. It's a coincidence. Mare is the Latin word for sea. Super is the word for over, like über in German. The town has a Latin name. Weston-Super-Mare means "Weston above the sea." I'm assuming it's on a cliff. It's no more odd that Newcastle-Upon-Tyne or Statford-Upon-Avon.

    • @MrWheezyE420
      @MrWheezyE420 6 місяців тому +1

    There is brain damage that can cause you to think those around you are replaced. One man suffered a head injury that removed his brain's ability to connect emotions to visual stimuli. He would see his parents but not feel the emotional connection to them that he should and he would swear that they were imposters. One way they tried to work around it was by giving him a call. His brain still connected emotions to sound. His parents would call him so he could hear their voice and connect to it and then enter the room while still talking to him over the phone so his brain would be prepared to except that they were his parents.

Like, we know it passes, but without a clock we'd have zero idea what time it is and any plans we make for our days are wholly unrealistic to even accomplish, purely because we consistently underestimate the amount of time it will take, because we have no concept of time whatso ever.

    Titanic had a coal fire possibly damaging the hull. They wanted to evaluate the rivets and determine if any correlation was measurable in the steel as the seam has opened up below the water line.

    • @nsbmiller
      @nsbmiller 9 місяців тому +2

      Interestingly there is a theory that one of the things that kept the Titanic afloat for as long as it did was the fire. Because of the fire they'd moved a lot of coal from the affected bunkers on the starboard side to the port side of the ship. When the water flooded in from the breached hull it is proposed that the weight of the extra coal helped to keep the ship level, rather than listing hard to starboard and then capsizing as you might expect with a wound in just one side.
      Because she did not list to any great extent Murdoch and Lightoller were able to coordinate lifeboat launches from both sides of the ship. Compare that to the Costa Concordia where it became impossible fairly early on to launch boats from the port side.

      Hmm. Avoid food dyes, artificial flavoring and preservatives. Also anything with poly, propylene glycol, and ethylene glycols. Maybe test genetics. Things like titanium implants and titanium dioxide arent great either. Caramel color, natural caffeine, and additive free nicotine is usually fine. My grandma, mom, me, and my kid are all hypersensitive with different reactions and sensitivity levels.. took me forever to figure out after years of medical and chemistry study.. and killed my grandma via wasting. Red food dye alone makes my kid go from huge vocabulary to non verbal head slamming and violent, usually major migraine. One point i was hallucinating and having nightly sleep paralysis, paranoia, and all sorta medical and mental issues. Even inhalers and too much tylenol is a problem.
      Fixed my diet, switched to all natural pipe tobacco, quit soda for bout 4 pots coffee a day some days.. and all went away. Also avoid vapes and synthetic meds/mary j. And yea if youre sensitive then those psyche meds trigger what theyre suppose to suppress. Hell most meds.

    When I was a child, super young, like ages 4 - 9. I fully thought my Mum was a stranger wearing her face as a mask and one day she'd pull off her face and reveal all along she'd been a stranger pretending to be Mum. But that was the mid 1980's and Mum had terrible mental health so her abusive personality would swing wildly from hour to hour and day to day. You'd never know what unpredictable (or violent) mood she'd be in at any moment. Even many long psych ward stays and electro shock treatment couldn't stop that old battle axe. I think that's why I thought that with my whole heart, but it was so scary not only living with her but believing she was a stranger.

      As a schizophrenic I know what you mean it must be terrible for a kid to be unleashed into the abyss of a human mind. When some or something breaks the human mind we live in an alternated reality. I was actually very lucky they call it the Alice in wonderland effect. I painted all good. And the wickedness of all lies and abuses and the filthy conspiracy of the outer world, run through you all at ones. Than future kicked in, I felt the battle over AI and all humanity hacking each other stealing your most pressured good the creation of your own words. Don't know why some called it data its probably male. I had to fight a never ending war between the uprising community of the muslims and the leftover Europeans. Actually just what happens now. Nowadays we have pills wich stop it all, just the doctors tell you to take them till you die and as the years for me it was 2 years pass by you feel your braincells die. You can't find words, you feel numb. It's just another way of being lost. Just a few are hard enough to go through the withdrawal. There I am a free mind again. What you have seen as a child I wish I could tell you, it's like 1 to 20 different minds at once that you saw in her. Once upon a time we people used to live somewhere farther away from the village, we where small communities we knew every soul. But farther away for us to be protected, when people needed guidance they came to us because we are empaths, they would listen to us and we where allowed to lead their ways. My ancestors where Celts for me it fits. Nowadays in the cities and with globalization and no one teaching us how to cope when we get hurt we get so many different strange souls who we feel, hear and see. I think that more and more people are developing that side was once called a blessing and witch the catholic church burned to the ground. Witches, murder, beating lobotomy, since a few hundreds years we are no allowed to live amongst you again. Maybe even it's just a stories from Alice im Wonderland you might understand it a little better child.

And prob similar contributed to the twice she pulled a handpew on me as a teen over going to see a girl she didnt like. Took me having health issues after a dental implant plus my kid goin nuts from red food dye.. and genetic workup to even get half a clue as to the why. Seems we arent meant to consume large quantities of polymers, metal waste, artifical oil, and coal tar waste products, go figure.

    Simon, many schools have uniform policies in the United States. Private schools always had them, but now so do the public schools. For instance, I’m from New Orleans, Louisiana. Up until my junior year of high school, we wore regular street clothes to school. We had a general dress code, like no shorts, sleeveless shirts, sandals, or anything revealing or obscene basically. But then…Columbine happened in April of 1999, the end of my junior year. In my school district, they took a vote for uniforms that were taken from both the students and parents every other year and we had just voted not to wear uniforms, which was always the case. However, after Columbine, the whole state decided to adopt a uniform policy for all public schools for the upcoming school year. That meant I had to wear them for my last year of school! My whole class was seriously pissed too. Each school in every parish has a specific pattern and color scheme of uniforms for their students. They had to be purchased from certain uniform shops that had the school name and mascot embroidered on the different items. Boys wore khaki pants and a white button down shirt, and girls wore a plaid skirt with a button down white shirt with the logo on it as well. In the winter, you could only wear the certain uniform sweaters, jackets and hoodies from the same shop too. I ended up liking them because you didn’t have to worry about what to wear every day. However, they were very expensive. Shirts: $28 Pants: $40 Skirts: $70 Sweaters: :$79 Hoodies: $80 Jackets: $120 and this was back in the 1999. My senior class had a fundraiser to help students get uniforms that were unable to afford to buy them or to buy enough of the same items so they didn’t have to wash them every day or wear them repeatedly. Those that needed the help received it discreetly too. Once qualified, they received a voucher from the office to take to the uniform shop like a gift card. Seniors got out of school about a month early, and the last day, they basically run the halls making a racket and acting like fools. My class all took our uniforms off and piled them up in the courtyard and set them on fire with a sign that said “Rot in Hell Eric and Dylan, RIP CHS students!” our little act of revenge for being forced to wear them due to two Assholes who killed those poor innocent kids in Colorado and ruined everything for the rest of us!
