In that case I'm glad to be alive cause I fell from standing position on the back of my head as a late teenager (no wonder I grew up messed up lol). The only way this could happens realistically is by losing consciousness which I did after standing up too fast. One side of my hip absorbed some 30% of the shock though I definitely did hear a loud, distant and painless bang from my head slamming on the hard tile floor, then as blood rushed back into my brain, so did the pain. I gotta thank raw teenager energy for making it out of that without much trouble (localised pain for a few days, and a small wound on the impact site) , today's me would definitely have a different outcome (starting with the serious loss of bone density)

[@Foreignfoh]

@@MrCrackbear it’s the same exact idea tho, if you hit your head in a very specific place,(or neck) you will become paralyzed or mentally disabled, in miliseconds. So whether it be falling, a punch, it could be a football if anything, as long as the one spot is hit hard enough.

[@wisersamson9000]

It's insanely refreshing to hear other healthcare professionals, especially other specialities than mine (DPT, physical therapy ) speak up on the stranglehold that has been put on pain patients across America. It's insane, prescriptions for painkillers have been cut by up to 75% across the country (depending on how you calculate it, what you count, etc) yet opiate overdoses are up 300 to 700%. The thing is, the official opiate prescriber guidelines allow for much MUCH more leniency than pain management doctors are showing....so what the fuck is up with that? Well, there was a large push by lawmakers and the DEA to pressure doctors unofficially via extreme uses of their power and scare tactics. A huge wave of pill farms (doctors just obviously prescribing opiates to all patients no questions asked and possibly taking kickbacks from pharmaceutical companies) which is a good thing...but it continued once those were shut down. The DEA and regulatory bodies kept going and they started clapping doctors for small discrepancies, maybe 3 years ago you prescribed opiates to a patient that this regulatory body deems unwarranted...and suddenly your practice is gone, or your hit with charges...... Despite following the new guildines, pain doctors got essentially shaken down, and now everyone suffers. The patients literally suffer the most, but other specialties that rely in patients being able to function......also suffer. It's really hard to get an 80 year old cancer patient to maintain their physical therapy routine when they have their prescription for painkillers cut out completely in only a few week period......suddenly that patient suffers rapid decline of quality of life, and, even with a letter of request for medication sent by a doctor to the pain management doctor it doesn't matter.....

[@mrpalindrome3067]

For the alcohol discussion. The reason for the worse hangovers in non-distilled alcoholic beverages is 1.) methanol that doesn't get distilled out like it does in distilled spirits. and 2.) tannic acids (this is especially the case for wines), leading to vasodialation which increases uptake and a drop in blood glucose levels (compounded by ethanol's own effect on releasing glucose). I would suspect that alcohol byproducts and remaining sugars in distilled spirits also affects the body differently and could (depending on body makeup and chemistry) affect individuals in different ways.

I'm a software developer right. For the last 2 weeks, I've been meaning to work on a part of the code base which was producing a number that is no where close to what is expected of it. The problem is the logic is so complicated that it takes about 1k lines of code with no meaningful way of breaking it up into chunk. So I spent 2 weeks doing absolutely nothing on it, and waiting to jump on the next ticket that comes in. Yesterday I've finally brought myself to do it. A part of debugging it requires me to clear the database because any wrong existing data will throw the next run off, and I've been clearing the database manually. Then I spent the next 3 hours perfecting a script that clears the database automatically with 1 command. After I'm done with the script, I proceed to continue debugging the thing, and in just 10 minutes I found the bug which was just miss typing a - sign as + sign.

On the topic of fewer distractions that you guys dove into at the end: that's one of the reasons why I like my vinyl collection so much. Not only is the playback process extremely easy to understand and is purely mechanical (aside from amplification etc.), it also makes me value the music I physically have that much more. I think the fact that your options on physical media are limited is the real reason for the focus. Even without the internet, you are still holding a device capable of showing everything there is to know, and you can't trick your brain out of it. It's not about paper. We've got e-ink displays, yet we still get distracted, although, admittedly not as much. The reason why our minds can't process information from screens efficiently is, in my opinion, similar to overexposing a camera sensor: everything starts clipping and blending together. The brain is aware of all the information available and just refuses to focus on the small portion it is being served.

[@WhileTrueCode]

its crazy bernard is talkin about printed VS screen words.. i just ran into that a few days ago.. wanted to read an old article how they did the physics simulations in Hitman; its an amazing read, but felt i was more "skimming" it than reading it.. printed the same PDF out on paper and was immediately like reading all the actual words and reconstructing the narrative in my head. i dunno if it was due to refresh rate, or maybe it takes more of a physical commitment to actually turn the page, or what.. but there is a difference.. printed word is just so much more "tangible" both in a literal sense but also in some inexplicable psychoactive sense, too.. never used an e-reader; i wonder if that solves the difference

Tech Ingredients has a great video on rum that goings in depth on the production of alcohol. Yeast only makes ethanol, methanol, and CO2. It's the minerals and other microbes that interact with the alcohol that make the subtle changes in flavor: This is when it is still fermenting. During distillation they separate the liquid in to different containers while it is still coming over and then recombine parts into a product that is either drank as is or aged in wood causing it to leach tannins and flavor compounds giving it its color.

I feel like using paper or e-ink is way superior to LCD or LED screen, maybe like Bernard said it's about the refresh rate but I also believe it have to do with the backlight shining directly toward your eyes

[@Basement-Science]

Well the refresh rate thing doesnt make any sense, the image is displayed completely constantly on an LCD. Flicker is just something you get from a CRT, or some projectors. My guess would be that there is a big correlation between the brightness setting (too high) on your screen and all the problems people get. Lots of people just have their monitor set way brighter than it needs to be, because there is no _obvious_ problem with it for them and the image quality is even slightly better. But it might well cause _unnoticed_ problems.

Thanks for sharing the mental stuff you've been thinking about William! I've been learning about myself and how I have a similar issue to you. For me, I think it stems from my dad having undiagnosed severe ADD and I have a mild version from him. Reading a book called Driven to Distraction has helped me understand my dad and see how I have some of the properties. Being aware is the first step, I think therapy is the next.

hadn't watched YT in a week or two and I missed this podcast the most

This is the best fucking podcast ever and I'm glad I haver the opportunity to pay 15 dollars a month to make it continue.

Okay, lemme clarify some things about whiskey and alcohol real quick. The points you ended up making about the different cuts of alcohol is technically correct. There’s 4 separate cuts you make: foreshots, heads, hearts, and tails. The foreshots are what contains methanol. Heads is just bitter and tannic. Hearts is the biggest cut and that’s where most of the flavors come from, tails is pretty bland, but some of it is still useful. Most companies will find a way of blending the various cuts to get to where the want it. So while there may be technically 3 useful cuts, they might take 20 smaller cuts and see at what stages of the distillation process do we want to keep this so it tastes the best. What people did back in prohibition days was just dump everything into a bottle and call it good. Nobody knew that you had to separate everything. The next bit i wanna clarify: moonshine is just newmake whiskey. There literally is no difference between the two except one has been aged in a barrel for a while and the other one is straight off the still. Next up, the difference between more common types of alcohol. RUM is made with sugar, WHISKEY AND BEER are made with grains (certain whiskeys must be made with a certain percentage of a certain grain to be called it that, such as bourbon, which must be made with a MINIMUM of 51% corn and must be aged in charred new oak barrels, meaning if they have barrels that have been used to age whiskey before, they cannot use them to call it bourbon. Some are locational, like scotch. Scotch must be made and bottled in Scotland to be called scotch. It can be branded in the states, but as long as it is made and bottled in Scotland, it’s called a scotch), and VODKA is potatoes. The processes for making each of these spirits is basically the same too. The only difference being that vodka is distilled more times than whiskey or rum so that it can be more neutral. The vodka makers have a goal of trying to make it roll off the tongue as much like water as possible. It may not taste like it, but it’s not supposed to be noticeable in a drink whatsoever. Rum and whiskey are both distilled at least once either in a collumn or pot still (they come out with differing results depending on which still you use) then put in barrels to age for a while. Sometimes that’s months, sometimes that’s decades, sometimes it’s somewhere in the middle. Last thing, COLOR does not come from the spirit (except wine). After distillation and being put in a barrel, the alcohol contracts and expands into the wood of the barrel throughout the aging process, bringing tannins from the wood into the spirit and introducing some new flavors. The expansion and contraction comes from the various seasons, which is why it is better to age in some areas over others. Elevation also has something to do with the aging process as alcohol can be aged better or worse, kinda like using a pressure cooker on a mountain. Hope that clears some things up for ya!

Actually during prohibition the US federal government would adulterate things with methanol and just allow it to be distributed, or some of the rum runners would add denatured alcohol to stretch their supply. There's very little danger of producing something with enough methanol to be dangerous by accident in home distillation, it basically doesn't happen unless you try to make vodka from wood. The methanol is as Bernard said mostly in the heads, which taste bad for all the other stuff that's also in there so it's discarded anyway, but even if you kept the heads in there is unlikely to be enough methanol in there with the hearts mixed in to hurt you. Drinking just the heads straight would potentially be bad... but you'd also spit it out for tasting terrible.

Yo, the concentration/moving towards something/leaving others when you have a bunch of things on stand by part, really resonated with me. I will try to get a couple of things in order and see if it makes any difference. Thanks guys.

Love Bernard furiously shaking his head ‘NO, METHANOL BAD’

NileRed and Chubbyemu are my favorite YTers to binge right now.

I love this so much I really hope you guys keep this relaxed style and GET MORE PEOPLE ON!!! Safety third forever.

An overlooked option that has some benefits of paper and some of a proper pad or computer is the e-ink tablet. But print on paper is, amazingly, still hard to beat in some regards.

[@Nice-try-diddy]

Never liked podcasts until a friend recommended this to me now I’m hooked smh

[@The_Vanished]

Man, im so glad you guys have Dr Bernard on this! I love you guys too

[@ClungeDungeon]

Im so glad Bernard is back, hes a dope guest

[@anthrosaurian]

36:30 I think one of the many crime dramas on tv has covered this type of thing already, but say a drug mule dies of an overdose in the process of carrying contraband across the border. A drug mule does not carry all of the contraband in one big baggie or vessel inside of them. They could be carrying upwards of a hundred or more little baggies of various drugs inside them on a single trip. So dying of an overdose because one or two baggies ruptured means that there could still be hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of contraband still inside their body, provided that traffickers can still get to the body before an autopsy is done.

[@cherenkov_blue]

Me, who's possibly doing a dual degree in chemical engineering listening to Dr. Bernard: _chuckles_ I'm in danger

[@eveneevee27]

Bernard:”graduating in recession is like the worst thing ever.” Me about to graduate this spring and can’t find a job:”yep”

[@NA-yq4pe]

Thanks for making this episode! Made my chem heart happy

[@jokunimi5625]

Getting a new episode is always the highlight of my day. Thanks for making these.

[@alystair]

I love that no one has questioned WHY William has a 12-month old nugget in his car.

[@bumblebee4245]

This podcast fits so well with me. I have a strange addiction to learning a good amount about a ton of things. So the fact that I understand pretty much all of what they're talking about, and am still learning a bunch more is actually amazing. I feel like these guys are pretty much just me and my friends having conversations and that's why I love it, and why it's so easy to watch.

[@maxsonstegink4802]

You guys should definitely get Cody's lab on the podcast!

[@C134B]

Two of my favorite youtubers making a podcast that I come to know now is just crazy, I don't think Nigel has been posting stuff about this on twitter

[@ImplicitConversion]

A frequent part of ADHD is called executive function disorder and sounds like what you are describing. It's not external. The other part you're talking about is hyper focus and is ALSO a part of ADHD. Talk to a therapist about getting a formal diagnosis.

[@ShustOne]

I think this is the best episode you all have ever made. You got on to a subject and explored it deeply, shared how it is handled by each of you, let each other finish stories. I really, really enjoyed this one!

[@takeohtyme]

I just realized that despite being Asian, the Canadian is the whitest person in the show... We need to find a way to get Nigel to play outside. QUICK! SOMEONE BREAK HIS FUME HOOD! Force him to do outside chemistry a-la Explosions&Fire

[@untitled8027]

This intro feels like a level of honesty not often present on youtube

[@munaq-jp]

I think printed versions add a spatial value that helps remember the things contained in them. That's something digital versions lack. To remember digital information I have things playing in the background. It is important that every thing you have playing is new and not in a loop.
