    • @johnhalberg6536
      @johnhalberg6536 2 місяці тому +1

      @@1992jamo There are two units named pounds, pounds force and pounds mass. Together, they're very convenient for dealing with gravity. The force of gravity on one kilogram is 9.8 N, but the force of gravity on one pound (mass) is one pound (force). Extremely rare case of metric being the headache and English being easy.
      However, pounds force is the only unit of force in the English system, while pounds mass has to compete with slugs and stones, so by default pounds tends to mean force. It especially means force when used in the phrase, "how many pounds of tension." Alex was correct in using Newtons for force, but wrong in telling Greg force isn't measured in pounds.
      If you only use pounds for mass, I'm curious-- what unit did you think should be used for force in the English system?

      @@1992jamo In the U.S., pounds are by default force. The customary unit of mass is the slug (1 slug = 14.6 kg) and represents the mass that would accelerate at 1 ft/s^2 if pushed with a pound of force. In practice, slug is very rarely used, in favor of the lb-mass, as @johnhalberg6536 described

    Definitely one of the best series. Steve Pemberton’s surrealism, John’s quiet wit and sharp mind (plus his devotion to Queen).

      Beside all that, Nick was likable, but rarely funny. John had FAR more laughs in the Studio from audience, Greg and the others, which proves you just wrong (laughing=enjoyment). Sophie was by far the funnier of the two low scoring people. She had this chaotic and creative energy in tasks, while Nick was just ...bad at them.

    For the last task, I saw one thing to create hours of tension. Possibly DAYS of tension
    The clock. A mechanical clock like that depends on the tension of either a spring or in that case weights, which is slowly released by the mechanjcs of the clock at an even rate to tick down the hours, minutes, and seconds. And grandfather clocks like that often go a week without winding.
    I'd say that would be a lot of tension.

      Ehh, I have to admit, I never finished watching this season. I just noticed that I didn't really care anymore.. none of the contestants did it for me and I could barely remember their names even. I liked Nick though, but he was just overwhelmingly nice and even that got on my nerves (I dislike this whole trend where everything needs to be 'wholesome'.. I miss a bit of edginess). But to be honest, I think I've just kind of had too much TM, I feel it would be better if there was 1 season each year, it seems like a never ending train now and I feel things are getting a bit stale for my liking.

      @glenrobinson10 6 місяців тому +15

      Well John is both a huge fan of the show & close friends with Alex so he got the gist of the tasks more often than not taking a lot of the "look at the silly comedian doing silly things" out of it that we got expertly from others. It's not a negative in any way, it just formed this narrative of him just being there to do well.
