      Came here to make this comment. by weight ink tends to be the most expensive common item people buy.
      On the serious side, Epson and canon both make reasonably priced printers now that use large ink tanks. Refill bottles cost less than normal cartridges and have about 10 times the ink. Have used both brands extensively in my business, and the canon is superior to the epson in every way, except that the refill ink is only available at Staples, and about 1 in 10 best buy stores. Probably not a big deal for a regular person where a single fill will last a year, but can get annoying if you are printing absurdly high volumes as I do. With both brands, the printers don't like long idle time between prints of more than a couple weeks.

    A question about the International Space Station's cost - how much of that is the physical hardware of the space station, versus how much the cost of getting that all in space? How much would it cost to build an identical one sitting on the ground? (I would imagine there actually might be such a thing, or at least enough parts to build such, used for testing, design, and planning purposes.) Is it so expensive because of what it is, or because of where it is?

Not because ISS is definitively the right answer but because it's such a wobbly question and it needed this kind of "evaluating all of the options and deciding on an answer that feels right" sort of video. It was entertaining and satisfying in a way that videos that try to answer such simple questions like this often are not. Kind of dumb to write this all out but it's feels good to see things done well.

      Sorry to disappoint you but the Totenkopf isn't really a Nazi symbol any more than the letter S (as seen in the SS) is. Or the symbol of the lightning strike. (as seen in the SS)
      It actually has its origins in the skull and crossbones symbol/emblem which (as far as we know) dates back to the 12th century.
      Sure, one can argue that that one particular design is the same one used by the Nazi's but it really wasn't exclusively used by them. The same way the Swastika didn't first appear on the Nazi flag.
      If we are going to throw a fit over everything the Nazi's used or created then we should tear up larger portions of the Autobahn, dismantle the car manufacturer VolksWagen and send all of Germany back to pre-war unemployment levels and living standards.
      Among many many more things.
      Or we can just learn from our mistakes and simply not be as bad as the Nazi party was... We learn that adopting an "us vs them" stance is the breeding ground for hate, anger and suffering.

    Oak Ridge National Lab in Tennessee sells 1 nanogram of the isotope Ac-225 for $1000. That makes it worth $1 Trillion per gram, and is by far the most expensive thing sold on earth. That isotope has effectively removed cancer in human trials, and the only reason it's not more widely used (for Targeted Alpha Therapy) is that we have no way to make it in large quantities anymore. There are also other isotopes used in making superheavy elements that are very expensive. Look up "Thorium Cow ORNL" for Ac-225, and "Super Heavy Elements Periodic Videos" for the specialty isotopes used in that work.

It had 6% interest, compounding over time. It seams Berlin never paid them back, and now thanks to the compounding interest the loan has a higher value than all the money on the Earth.
