I don't want a drone coming outside my window; it's that simple. If you have a drop point for drones to deliver goods and services, fine. If you got a package, leave it in the back. But don't come up to my window knocking and say, "Are you in? Can I come in?" No.

Plus, these are airborne things. There's got to be a limit to how much they can carry. There's physics behind this. All right? If you carry a light box with a thumb drive in it that someone ordered, fine. But suppose I order a weight set? Suppose your drone is not carrying my dumbbells?

Okay, suppose you ordered a 5B bag of sugar. Or if you built the drone strong enough to carry heavy groceries, it will be loud and large. I don't see that happening. If I see a drone outside my window, I'm shooting it. Okay? I'm sorry, and I've never shot a gun in my life.

I'll go buy a gun just to shoot the drone that shows up outside my window. I don't know what kind of camera is on it; I don't know where it's from. I don't know. No, no, do something else with your drones, but don't put them by my window.

Fractional powers differentiation | Derivative rules | AP Calculus AB | Khan Academy

So we have ( H(x) ) is equal to ( 5x^{1⁄4} + 7 ) and we want to find what is ( H’ ) of 16, or what is the derivative of this function when ( x ) is equal to 16. And like always, pause this video and see if you can figure it out on your own. All right, w…

Cooling down water by BOILING it

Let’s cool down some water by boiling it. The water in this beaker is hot, but it’s not boiling because the molecules in the beaker don’t have enough kinetic energy right now to rapidly fight against the air pressure from the outside that’s squeezing them…
