[Music] Gonna swing when it comes off that corner. Put it down, just let it go. Relax, it's not gonna go anywhere. That's a lot better there than a minute ago, swinging off the ladder. Fortunately, no accidents happened. A couple of times, some good close reminders to pay attention to what you're doing, because bad things happen really quick.

First time's always the hardest. First time's always ours, and once we started, the second time worked pretty good. Let it down, perfect. The third time worked great, so it's just a matter of paying attention to each time you do something, and then modifying it a little bit.

Here we go, floor is closing. Wow, it's all closed up! Wow, looks like a stage. Come on up! Wow, look at it! New York apartment size! Oh, this is great, Andy! Pretty solid, you should be happy with this.

Stop the last one! [Laughter] That's it right here. You can still see over the top of everything. Yeah, let me try sitting. What's really cool too is you can stretch out and sleep and not worry about rolling over.

We're putting the time and energy into something that's going to be really useful to us and comfortable for us to go back there and spend some time, and really utilize that piece of the country. That's gonna pay off big for us in the future. Chris is in the basement. All right, well, I'm happy! I am very happy! Tarzan made a new house! [Music]

Unpacking employee benefits | Employment | Financial Literacy | Khan Academy

When looking at a new job, it can be very tempting to look only at the pay. That’s because the pay is really important, and that’s the bulk of what the company is going to give you. But there are other things that they will give you beyond pay that you sh…

Miracles and inductive inference

Atheists and these alike are both affected by the problem of induction. Frustratingly, there’s no rational reason to think that the future will look like the best. The reason we do have the idea that it will, to use Hume’s term, is merely the result of ha…

The Dangers of Free Diving | Science of Stupid: Ridiculous Fails

And now, we briefly interrupt our critique of the extra silly to salute someone extra special. Now, if I suggested a sport that literally drained your body of life sustaining oxygen, edging you to the very brink of existence, you’d probably say, no thank…

Boveri-Sutton Chromosome Theory

Let’s give ourselves a reminder of how important Gregor Mendel’s work was. In 1866, he published his findings, and it’s important to realize it wasn’t like immediately in 1866 or 1867 the whole world changed and everyone said, “Oh, Gregor Mendel figured i…
