I started doing it because at some point many years ago, Youtube started to optimize their recommendation algorithms for maximum viewer retention. This led to more and more clickbait and drawn out videos in recommendations and homepage.
But on the subscription page, I know there will be a sea of quality videos to choose from, without having to sift through all the junk.
I subscribe to many channels, but only a few I rarely miss a video from:
NileRed - Chemistry
Ahoy - Video game essays
This Old Tony - Hobby machinist
The Slow Mo Guys - Slow motion
Stuff Made Here - Ridiculous inventions
Technology Connections - Technology deep dives
Honorable mentions:
SmarterEveryDay - Exploring the world using science
Practical Engineering - Explaining engineering practices
frank howarth - Calm woodworking projects
Plenty of text generation models can be run on consumer desktop/gaming hardware with fairly acceptable output. There’s probably also several models fine-tuned with uncensored data, that will spew any kind of propaganda you ask of it. Hugging Face hosts many publicly available models.
Or maybe ask for the shoe box to be full of a block of pure gold? Probably easier to sell and should have a value of about $18M.
The workers of the US really need unionize. Here in Scandinavia the average pre-tax income is closer to $84,000 with a 36-hour work week. We do however have a higher tax-rate, so that ends up at around $45,000 after taxes. Cost of living is also generally higher that the US. Of course that higher tax gives us free health care and education.
It has to be. This bill getting any further than a mere proposal is futile. The Kingdom of Denmark cannot (easily) sell or otherwise transfer ownership of Greenland to another nation. It would require a change to its constitution (which is pretty hard to do, with the current senate and government having to approve it, retire, reelection, senate reapproval, and finally a public vote with at least 40% participation).
And that is not even enough. Greenland itself would have to agree to it as well, as they are a sovereign region. Neither Denmark nor Greenland have expressed any interest in such a deal.
The fact that the bill proposes to rename Greenland regardless of being acquired by the U.S. is a clear sign that it is not a serious bill.
Acquiring Greenland by other means (e.g. by force) would also be in direct conflict with UN and NATO agreements between the two nations, and cause a serious problem for the new administration.
