Hey nick! I was missing your videos! Hope you continue uploading them. Also drinking beer hehe From argentina, see you soon!

[@NickMoore]

Hey, I've been doing a lot more beer drinking than filming lately. Hopefully I can get some more posted this year!

[@DoNotPushHere]

Long time no see, but so glad to see u back!

[@NickMoore]

Hey, I've been busy but hopefully I'll be posting more than once a quarter.

[@DoNotPushHere]

@@NickMoore oh I just wondered... No need to post in any particular frequency of course! Your content has always been top interesting and very different from others, and your narration is very friendly. Plus you always answer... Just saying hi, and glad to see you back!

[@dysonbros]

> takes vacation to PEI > Also takes a microscope

[@NickMoore]

And a high speed camera!

[@Packers786]

i just started watching your channel and knew you were from canada

[@TheGreatMunky]

It's been 84 years.....

Hi! Can I use part of your video for my music video about Cpt Paul Watson (in defense of our planet)?

[@DIYBiotech]

Awesome video as always :)

[@NickMoore]

Thanks!

[@dcallan812]

WOW interesting.

[@NickMoore]

I was really surprised to see that they were actively seeking the light.

[@visualchallenge2413]

As in your intro video there is a sharp sound which is produced after using the flash. Is that sound produced by the electrolytic capacitor ?

[@321tryagain]

The high pitched whine that is sometimes heard after the flash of a camera is the charging circuitry that boosts low voltage (1-3V) to high voltage (200-300V) necessary to fire the flash. Although the energy is stored in a capacitor, the sound is not made by the capacitor itself.

[@NickMoore]

As far as I know the noise come from the transformer coil, though Wikipedia mentions that nearly any component can make a noise. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetically_induced_acoustic_noise

[@55Ramius]

Cool. I did not think I was going to care for the subject matter but this was interesting. I also had just watched Physics Girls latest video and she mentions you along with a clip of one of your videos. Cool again... : )

[@NickMoore]

Glad you liked it, this was some old footage that I've been thinking about for the past few months but wasn't sure how to share it.

[@brainfornothing]

Very interesting, as always. Thank you for sharing, Stay safe and be happy !

[@NickMoore]

Thanks, I find it really weird that they are photosynthetic but also able to swim around to 'hunt' for more light.

[@mcflapper7591]

Very cool. Thank you. :)

[@NickMoore]

Glad you liked it!

[@notrealname677]

Nearly a decade ago I visited this same area. I saw the same thing as you, but I had no idea what I was seeing. I just wanted to thank you. Not only for making this real to me, but in doing it in less than 2 min! Good luck in all of your endeavors. Sincerely, A new silent subscriber

[@NickMoore]

Glad you liked it, and that some one else has noticed the green footprints too! Thanks!

[@NevinWilliams71]

Nifty video!

[@NickMoore]

Thanks, I've been sitting on the footage for years and finally got around to it.

[@NevinWilliams71]

How are you doing with all the crap going on?

[@NickMoore]

@@NevinWilliams71 Still busy, home-ownership is like getting a 3rd job. I have a 200 line spreadsheet of video ideas but still haven't built a bench to work on >_

[@nurlatifahmohdnor8939]

My internet ACTIVITY.

[@nurlatifahmohdnor8939]

My brain is in good condition. All my siblings are in good condition. People is people. Outsiders. We are all polite. We speak slowly and we speak up rarely and carefully. I am not interested in more chips. #chipsmore

[@EngineerNick]

Nice :)

[@NickMoore]

Glad you liked it!

[@brainfornothing]

Hey ! I hope you are doing well. I just remember you because of this : "Moore (from Morocco) - this surname can also be transformed in, inter alia, Moris, Moorish, Morys, and Morris" Curious ! I have read that here : [ www.differencebetween.net/language/difference-between-given-name-and-surname/ ]. But maybe you already knew that. Stay safe and enjoy all you can ! Cheers !

[@NickMoore]

Hey, I don't have a lot of interesting stuff on the go lately but I might do a little write up on my home network setup. I've been getting >4000 hits a day from bots trying to log into my server which is kinda neat.

[@brainfornothing]

@@NickMoore More than 4K ? That is a good resolution ! Hehehe ! :D Do you have a web server or FTP or something ? The FTP in my work receive a lot of attacks daily, mostly from USA, Russia and China, but is very safe and we need it, so, no problem. I only had a web server from my own house once, in the 90's, I prefer to pay hostings, much more convenient for me. The worst case scenario would be if you have a VNC or VPN access to your home computer fom internet (we have both), but, even so, is very safe. I suppose you are an expert in computer and networking, if not and I can help, I'm here :) but I don't think so, I'm not an expert, you must know a lot more than me. Cheers !

[@NickMoore]

@@brainfornothing I run an SSH server for remote access which is pretty much a text based VNC. All the login attempts are from a new-ish botnet FritzFrog. If I can figure out for sure that's what it is I'll probably do a video about it. My network is pretty locked down, I don't like surprises on my computers >_
