    Related to the upside down roller coaster: When I was nine, I rode one of these with my two older sisters at the fairgrounds and it stopped like this for five minutes or so. We were all freaked out, but it became really scary when me and my sisters realized that my seat belt was not tight enough across my body so I began slipping. They struggled to hold me up and the entirety of everyone on the ride were screaming for the operator to bring the roller coaster carts down because I was in danger of falling to my death. The operator had stepped out and was nowhere to be seen for that five minutes. Eventually the ride was brought down and everyone got off. I remember so disoriented and scared my sisters brought me back to my parents. I don't remember what happened after that, but I kind of hope that the operator was fired.

    I currently work in a mosquito research lab in the department of UF Entomology. Mosquitos are attracted to the carbon dioxide in our breath. Interestingly, mosquitos are attracted to those with a higher metabolic rate (which explains why some people are basically mosquito magnets). Carbon dioxide is also a popular choice for various mosquito control devices and many use dry ice for this reason!

    I gave CPR to a bird many years ago. It fell into a water bucket and was floating motionless in the water. I took it out, held it upside down by its legs and gently squeezed (as in CPR) it's "chest". Water poured out. After a few minutes the bird revived and after another few minutes it flew away. I often wondered if the little guy survived or maybe got pneumonia and died. Whatever happened it was a very long time ago.

      i recently found a dying duck. It was in the water and struggling to keep its head over the water. At first i assumed that it was sleeping (i have almost never seen a duck sleep or learnt about them so i wouldn't know) so i left it. I tried turning it over after a bit but it just went back. I thought something was wrong so i brought it on land and gave it cpr. Later on, others had seen what happened and called some people over. They took it away in a towel and (hopefully) it survived.

    people who study mosquitos (Culicidology) say: they like when you have a strong smell (like BO smells and breath cuz of CO2), but blood type preference in various populations does appear to exist. If you're being targeted you're either expelling more of what they like to hunt us with (ie: you're breathing faster or something), or they like your blood type better than your friends'.

Mosquitoes also may like the smell of your body out there more, your body heat, mosquitoes like warm bodies more, and or the colour of your clothes and genetics. This is why you may find yourself being covered by buy mosquitoes more than your friends. Hope this helps.

However, apparently having recently ingested a beer or something sweet, being pregnant, sweating or even just being in a group of people does actually increase the mosquitos attraction towards you. All but the last can be explained by the body odors you produce, like sweat having lots of acids that mosquitos like or how pregnancy alters hormone levels and therefore the body odor. And the last one is due to the higher CO2 density in the air, thusly letting the mosquitos know that there's living things, probably with some suckable blood, nearby.

I just knew something had to be wrong. Finally my blood work showed my blood chemistry was way off - similar to someoe who had severe eating disorder. I had a small growth on my pancreas, luckily, non-cancerous, that was removed. However, the remaining part of my pancreas was still not doing what a pancreas does. I was still losing weight, until I was down to about at my lowest 85 pounds. I was started on TPN, 24/7. There was a insertion in my upper arm with a catheter that ran close to my heart. That's where the TPN was administered. I was on this for about six months, at home. I was told that this type of insertion is almost impossible to keep clean or sterile in a normal home atmosphere. So of course, after a couple of months, I came down with sepsis. Back into the hospital. After being on the TPN 24/7 for about five months, I was switch to only 12 hours a day. When I finally started gaining some weight back, we went to first TPN every other day and then every third day until I could finally get off of it. That stuff really saved my life.

    I enjoy your videos and your takes on various things (particularly tv show docs!), and I appreciate the conversations you've had about psychological health. I would really love to see you do a video on eating disorders, especially in adults. I'm 6 years in remission from a serious bout with atypical anorexia but still struggle at times because ED doesn't just go away. That voice is still there, and at times it's really hard to steer away from acting on it. So much of the talk about ED focuses on young women but it's entirely different being a grown woman in the sandwich generation - managing work, kids, and caring for elderly sick parents.
    I wasn't diagnosed with an eating disorder until I was in my early 40's because I stayed under the radar for decades. When I (finally) went IOP (I could not even consider in-patient), I was the only person there over age 24, not to mention the only one married with kids. There is an entire generation of adults struggling with EDs who are left out of discussions about care & treatment.
    It's also really hard when the focus seems to on two extremes of anorexia & bulimia rather than the spectrum of EDs in between. OSFED (what a terrible acronym!) makes up the vast majority of ED and yet we're left "in the middle" without real diagnoses.PLEASE consider doing one or more videos on adult eating disorders and how hard it is to find treatment (and recognition) as an adult. Thanks & please keep on with your mission to help educate people on medical issues. It's incredibly important!

    6:25 It might be healthier, but for people with scoliosis and EDS this feels like a much safer way to get things done without causing a disk slip or dislocation.

      Yeah I think it's good for people who have some type of physical ailment that prevents them from working out naturally, but unfortunately these types of procedures and technologies aren't being marketed towards people like that. They're being marketed to otherwise healthy adults who would benefit much more from doing regular exercise. But it's all about the money with these companies.

      You can work all these muscles without the strain of crunches, etc. Yoga is a great example (assuming it's a real teacher and not just some "power flow" thing. )🙏

    Vinegar is actually super useful for washing fruits in humid environments, as it helps them to not mold so quickly. Especially berries.

      Yes, I came here to say that! I soak my strawberries for a few minutes in vinegar water then pat them dry and they last weeks!

    I never laugh at people when they get hurt… but that gal slipping, with her bin over her head just laid me out. 🤣
    I do hope she didn’t get hurt, though.

      I'm the same way, I really hate seeing people get hurt. But there was a video in like 2007 or something of a model walking down the runway and her shoes were so weird that she kept wobbling on her ankles and the announcers were crying laughing and that was the one time that I ever laughed at someone just.... slowly falling.
