google glass is the worst product of all time
Bookmarked 600 weeks ago if you039re considering buying google glass for any reason i039m gonna try and talk you out of it i039m john p and this is geek beatmark your calendars folks because this is the first time we039ve ever dedicated an episode to telling people not to buy a product that039s not to say that we like everything we039ve tested at least a thousand products that we039ve never shared with you because they didn039t meet our expectations for one reason or another we039d rather spend time recommending good stuff than telling you what not to buy but i039m going to make an exception for google glass because i honestly believe it is the single worst product i039ve ever experienced and i039m pretty sure it039d be a terrible mistake for the vast majority of you to buy one so i039m just going to start telling you why |

why are 96000000 black balls on this reservoir
Bookmarked 355 weeks ago i took a boat through 96 million black plastic balls on the los angeles reservoir to find out why they039re there the first time i heard about shade balls the claim was they reduce evaporation but it turns out this isn039t the reason they were introducedhuge thanks to ladwp for arranging this special tour for me next time let039s put the gopro on the submersiblethe balls are made of high density polyethylene hdpe which is less dense than water so they float on the surface of the reservoir even if they break apart they are 10cm 4 inches in diameter and contain about 210ml of water so the main reason they are on the reservoir is to block sunlight from entering the water and triggering a chemical reaction that turns harmless bromide into carcinogenic bromate this effect occurs with prolonged exposure to bromate so regulators insist that levels be kept below 10 microgram per liter on average over a 12 month periodspecial thanks to patreon supporters:donal botkin michael krugman ron |

this video is about marijuana
Bookmarked 411 weeks ago uh ohok a thing i didn039t say that i probably should have is that we haven039t actually had a chance to do as much research on marijuana as we should have edibles have different effects than smoking which has different effects from vaping different strains have different amounts of thc and cbd and that matters these are both psycho-active compounds and they both have effects on your brain that039s why they get you high but the highs are different and the effects and thus potential negative side-effects are differentbut it039s also very hard to even study marijuana because it039s illegalso this is both another reason to decriminalize to make research easier and a reason why it039s more complicated we don039t know for sure how many of the negative effects we039ve teased out what we know about marijuanahttps:wwwyoutubecomwatchv=yewlm8ctbquwhy is weed illegalhttps:wwwyoutubecomwatchv=cjlqsdezhhk----subscribe to our newsletter http:nerdfighte |
