Mindless Y2K Again

[00:00:10] Oh man, I am uncomfortable.

[00:00:13] Why not a woman?

[00:00:15] Hmm?

[00:00:15] Why not a woman?

[00:00:17] Oh, sexism.

[00:00:20] Did that thoroughly answer your question?

[00:00:24] Mrs.

[00:00:26] You know, I guess.

[00:00:28] Ah, senora.

[00:00:30] Si, senora.

[00:00:33] What's that song?

[00:00:36] From Beetlejuice, what's it called?

[00:00:38] Do you know the title of it?

[00:00:39] The one that's like, work, work, work, senora.

[00:00:43] Yeah.

[00:00:44] No?

[00:00:46] Why don't we just look it up?

[00:00:48] I was asking you, because you were like, oh, you mean this one?

[00:00:51] And I'm like, yeah.

[00:00:52] It's called Jump in the Line by Harry Belafonte.

[00:00:55] You don't remember that.

[00:00:56] No, I looked it up.

[00:00:57] I don't know if I'm saying his name right, but it's a great song.

[00:01:01] It's Belafontewa.

[00:01:03] Who's he?

[00:01:04] What's it?

[00:01:05] Yeah, it's like Beetlejuice.

[00:01:07] Belafontewa.

[00:01:09] I haven't seen it in a long time.

[00:01:11] I'm not really a big Beetlejuice person.

[00:01:13] Why?

[00:01:17] I don't know.

[00:01:18] I just, meh.

[00:01:20] Is there something wrong with you?

[00:01:22] Do you really like it?

[00:01:25] I think it's all right.

[00:01:28] What?

[00:01:29] What's that?

[00:01:29] Yeah, that's like, I'm like, you know.

[00:01:32] I'm allowed to, though.

[00:01:33] I don't like scary movies all that much.

[00:01:35] You need to love all scary movies.

[00:01:37] I don't really count Beetlejuice as a scary movie.

[00:01:38] It's more like a thriller.

[00:01:39] It is scary.

[00:01:40] How?

[00:01:41] Did you see the people die and then they didn't know?

[00:01:44] And then there was like ghosts and shit.

[00:01:46] And then they had to fight off like salad bowls.

[00:01:50] It's more of like a dramedy, though.

[00:01:53] You're more of a dramedy.

[00:01:57] What does that even mean?

[00:01:58] Long, sullen silences.

[00:02:00] That's what.

[00:02:02] You know, Ghostwire, Tokyo.

[00:02:04] I'm just looking at names of games right now.

[00:02:06] I don't know why.

[00:02:07] There's so many games coming out this year.

[00:02:09] I'm kind of mad.

[00:02:12] So.

[00:02:12] Yes.

[00:02:13] So angering.

[00:02:14] Ah, choices.

[00:02:15] How dare they be choices.

[00:02:17] So welcome back to Mindless Paraddle.

[00:02:19] I'm Ripley.

[00:02:20] That thing over there is Jordan.

[00:02:22] No, that's a cat.

[00:02:24] You are Jordan.

[00:02:26] Oh.

[00:02:27] Well, thank you for including me.

[00:02:29] But.

[00:02:29] What episode is it, Ripley, my dear?

[00:02:32] 91.

[00:02:33] You see how there's always a question mark at the end?

[00:02:36] Like we're not really.

[00:02:37] Well, not we.

[00:02:38] She's not really sure.

[00:02:39] I know what it is.

[00:02:40] What is it?

[00:02:41] It's 91.

[00:02:41] Yeah.

[00:02:42] I got it right this time.

[00:02:43] You should open up the drive.

[00:02:46] That way when I share pictures, I don't have to turn my computer around because it's annoying.

[00:02:50] Oh, I mean, yeah, I can do that.

[00:02:52] Good.

[00:02:53] Good.

[00:02:54] Well, she figures out how the internet works.

[00:02:57] We'll be over here.

[00:02:57] Okay.

[00:02:58] So.

[00:02:59] I'm going to start us off strong this week.

[00:03:01] I was.

[00:03:02] Why?

[00:03:02] Did you have something?

[00:03:03] No, I don't.

[00:03:03] Go ahead.

[00:03:04] Well, okay.

[00:03:05] That's sure.

[00:03:06] I'll start us off.

[00:03:08] I was out of town last weekend for work.

[00:03:11] And as such, I was in a hotel room for Friday night and Saturday night because it was a couple

[00:03:18] days, right?

[00:03:20] Friday night, all is well, nothing wrong.

[00:03:24] Saturday night, get some Taco Bell.

[00:03:27] Now, I'm sure you can see where this is going.

[00:03:30] So, I'm sitting there eating Taco Bell when my stomach's like, no, you don't.

[00:03:36] And then I go to the bathroom and I was like, all right, it's fine.

[00:03:38] I don't need this Taco Bell.

[00:03:39] So, part of being in this lovely hotel is that I hear everything that's going on outside of

[00:03:48] my room because the door just, I don't know if it just wasn't sealed properly or if it was

[00:03:54] because the toilet was right next to the door.

[00:03:57] What?

[00:03:58] But, yeah.

[00:03:59] So, when you walked in the door, it was like a 45 degree angle and it led like right to

[00:04:03] the toilet.

[00:04:04] That's not a great design.

[00:04:06] Mm-mm.

[00:04:06] Anyway.

[00:04:07] So, I had every suspicion that everyone heard me outside, which is fine because, you know,

[00:04:18] human.

[00:04:19] And as soon as I was done, I was like, ah, time to go relax.

[00:04:23] More Taco Bell.

[00:04:24] No.

[00:04:26] No, I walked over.

[00:04:28] You got me.

[00:04:28] And as I was leaving, I started hearing voices from the hallway.

[00:04:33] Uh-huh.

[00:04:33] And I went over to the door and I looked through the peephole and it was like, you know how

[00:04:40] you're in your hotel and you can hear like a couple people talking and then they go in

[00:04:44] their room and you're like, okay, that was okay.

[00:04:46] Yeah.

[00:04:46] Yeah, no.

[00:04:47] I was sitting by the door because I heard, well, walking by the door and then I heard people

[00:04:55] talking and I thought, oh, they're going to their room.

[00:04:57] So, I looked through the peephole and there, instead of like one or two people going into

[00:05:03] a room, there was probably 10, 12, 15.

[00:05:07] I don't know.

[00:05:08] Just like grandparents.

[00:05:11] They were just old people, like 15 old people-ish.

[00:05:15] I'd say 10 to 15.

[00:05:16] I didn't really count.

[00:05:16] And they were all going into the room right next to mine.

[00:05:21] And the doors, remember, they're at the 45 degree angle to the hallway so I can see them

[00:05:25] all going into the door next to mine.

[00:05:28] I was like, that's a lot of people for what I know has only two beds.

[00:05:35] And boy, was I right because the rest of the night was just old people orgy sounds

[00:05:40] and it was not great to try and fall asleep.

[00:05:45] You know, I thought this was heading towards an old people orgy.

[00:05:48] But boy, was I right.

[00:05:50] I don't believe you did.

[00:05:52] No, like when you said that many people, I was like, there's only one thing that could

[00:05:55] be if they're not having a party.

[00:05:57] Mm-hmm.

[00:05:59] And they, yeah, no.

[00:06:02] So, that was my Saturday night.

[00:06:04] And then I still had the work close out on Sunday.

[00:06:08] So, I just had to go to work and pretend that nothing happened.

[00:06:11] And I was like, that's gonna scar.

[00:06:13] It's like, you feel like you were there, but you weren't.

[00:06:15] It was so loud and disturbing.

[00:06:19] Are we gonna go to old people orgies when we're old?

[00:06:21] Oh, yeah.

[00:06:22] Scar some kids.

[00:06:23] Why not?

[00:06:23] I mean, you're not a kid.

[00:06:25] Do not scar children.

[00:06:28] Compared to them, I was like infant.

[00:06:30] All right.

[00:06:32] Like, I didn't see any walkers, but I'm pretty sure somebody needs one after that night.

[00:06:37] Like, it was pretty bad.

[00:06:38] I mean, good for them, I guess.

[00:06:40] Yeah, I mean, yeah, more power to you, but somewhere else, please.

[00:06:44] Use that power somewhere else.

[00:06:45] Like, what kind of hotel was it?

[00:06:47] You said it was just like a chain hotel, right?

[00:06:48] Yeah, it was a La Quinta.

[00:06:50] I was just at a La Quinta.

[00:06:52] And they, with that many people, they couldn't afford like a nicer hotel with like a big suite

[00:06:56] or something?

[00:06:57] I don't think the state of the room was their main concern.

[00:07:01] I mean, if I was having an orgy, I'd want it to be in a nicer hotel.

[00:07:04] I don't even know that they like stayed the night because none of them had luggage or anything

[00:07:10] while they were walking in.

[00:07:12] They wouldn't fit.

[00:07:12] Except for one person.

[00:07:14] One person had luggage.

[00:07:15] And I was like, I don't know what that's for.

[00:07:17] That's for all the condoms and lube.

[00:07:19] Yeah, that's the toy guy.

[00:07:21] He brings them, I guess.

[00:07:23] Everyone else just walking straight in there.

[00:07:25] And I was like, wouldn't the hotel, wouldn't you know something's up?

[00:07:28] If like 15 people tried to check in, but only one of them's got luggage.

[00:07:33] They're like, you're either having porn.

[00:07:36] Having porn.

[00:07:37] I mean, wait.

[00:07:38] I'll take one porn, please.

[00:07:40] You're either making porn or having a lot of sex or both.

[00:07:46] But you're a little far.

[00:07:47] Oh, you're far.

[00:07:48] Oh my God.

[00:07:49] Nevermind.

[00:07:52] But yeah, so that was happening.

[00:07:54] And the start of this was not like, oh, it's early bird special timing.

[00:08:00] No.

[00:08:00] The start was like 8.30 p.m.

[00:08:06] The end was definitely like 2 a.m.

[00:08:10] Damn.

[00:08:10] I was like, God.

[00:08:12] Are you swapping out?

[00:08:13] Are you guys taking turns?

[00:08:15] I don't know what's happening.

[00:08:16] How many other group would you say was like male, female?

[00:08:20] It was probably like half and half.

[00:08:23] Like it's judging from them going in.

[00:08:25] All right.

[00:08:26] But I mean, can't judge anymore.

[00:08:28] Who knows what they are?

[00:08:30] Good for them.

[00:08:31] Good for them.

[00:08:33] Maybe it was just a swingers party.

[00:08:35] Maybe there's just like six couples that were going to one room.

[00:08:37] I don't know.

[00:08:37] I don't know what was going on, but I sure is.

[00:08:40] You didn't knock on the door and figure it out?

[00:08:43] No.

[00:08:44] I heard the noises quite well from behind the door.

[00:08:48] Did not need to open it.

[00:08:50] Plus, you know how that would be?

[00:08:51] How?

[00:08:52] I don't think they'd be happy.

[00:08:54] Like, do you think they would have stopped?

[00:08:56] Do you think like one person would have stopped and opened the door?

[00:08:59] They'd be like, you want to join in?

[00:09:01] No.

[00:09:02] No.

[00:09:02] Let's not even talk anymore.

[00:09:04] I'm done with this story.

[00:09:06] Okay.

[00:09:06] Okay.

[00:09:07] So Black Ops 6 came out.

[00:09:10] A while ago, yes.

[00:09:11] Okay.

[00:09:11] But like, we just played it a little bit.

[00:09:14] No, you just started playing it.

[00:09:15] What do you think about it so far?

[00:09:17] The same thing I said when I played the demo of it.

[00:09:20] It's more fast-paced.

[00:09:21] Don't look over there.

[00:09:22] I'm over here.

[00:09:23] I just keep saying it.

[00:09:23] Oh, don't look over there.

[00:09:24] I'm over here.

[00:09:27] It's more fast-paced.

[00:09:29] The time to kill is very short compared to a lot of other Call of Duties.

[00:09:33] And so it feels natural in hardcore.

[00:09:37] But in normal gameplay, you die very quickly.

[00:09:40] And the pacing of it's weird.

[00:09:43] I'm not a fan of how floaty it feels compared to how solid the Modern Warfare 1 and 2, the remasters do.

[00:09:49] So overall, I think it's good.

[00:09:51] I haven't played the campaign.

[00:09:53] I'll probably play it tomorrow.

[00:09:55] But I think it's just all right overall.

[00:09:58] Well, I haven't played the campaign.

[00:10:02] But I did play some zombies, which, first of all, how many times am I going to do this and not learn my lesson?

[00:10:09] So I'm playing for a little bit.

[00:10:12] Let me guess.

[00:10:12] You were unmuted.

[00:10:13] I was not muted, yeah.

[00:10:15] So I'm talking about how much I suck at one point.

[00:10:17] I'm like, you know, I'm using all my points to get power-ups instead of unlocking things.

[00:10:22] Like, sucks to be my teammates, you know, and just making these kinds of jokes.

[00:10:25] And then nobody told me to shut the fuck up.

[00:10:29] But I just see my name in the corner of the screen.

[00:10:31] And I'm like, does that say my mic is on?

[00:10:32] So I immediately turned it off.

[00:10:34] And I was like, how embarrassing.

[00:10:39] Zombies, harder than I remember it being.

[00:10:42] It's like the round-based ones.

[00:10:44] But...

[00:10:45] As opposed to the square-based ones.

[00:10:47] Oh my God, it just...

[00:10:49] Like, we got to around, like, or like, you know, thing 14.

[00:10:54] And I was struggling.

[00:10:56] And then we had to go do something anyway, so I had to leave.

[00:10:57] But I was like, God, my teammates are all so much better than me.

[00:11:01] I was the only one getting downed.

[00:11:03] I was like, wow.

[00:11:06] Why?

[00:11:07] Why?

[00:11:08] But I did think it was a lot of fun.

[00:11:11] Didn't know anything about any of the weapons.

[00:11:13] But I'm really enjoying it so far.

[00:11:16] Some people said they don't like it because it's too fast-paced for them.

[00:11:18] But I think that's just, like, where video games are at right now.

[00:11:22] You know, like, everything's fast, fast, fast.

[00:11:24] I think it's the attention span of it.

[00:11:26] Like, in Advanced Warfare and one of the other Call of Duties,

[00:11:32] it was very fast-paced and you could jump around and you're like,

[00:11:35] this makes sense.

[00:11:36] It's, you know, fast-paced.

[00:11:37] But this Black Ops is set in, like, the 90s.

[00:11:40] And it's very fast-paced for what I feel like should be a little bit older.

[00:11:45] Wait, it's set in the 90s?

[00:11:46] It's like...

[00:11:46] It's set during...

[00:11:47] Well, it's set during the Cold War, I think.

[00:11:50] I'd have to double-check.

[00:11:51] But I know a lot of the maps, when you load in,

[00:11:53] it says 1990 to 1991, somewhere in there.

[00:11:56] Was the Cold War still happening then?

[00:11:58] I don't know.

[00:12:00] I don't know them Cold War dates.

[00:12:02] I mean, 1989.

[00:12:06] You ever think about how that's just so much more recent

[00:12:10] than you conceive of most of the time?

[00:12:14] As opposed to what?

[00:12:15] Dinosaurs?

[00:12:16] Well, like, my sister was born in 92.

[00:12:18] Okay.

[00:12:19] Like, my sister is only slightly older than the Cold War.

[00:12:23] Yeah.

[00:12:24] Isn't that crazy?

[00:12:25] I mean, my co-worker was standing in front of the Berlin Wall when it fell.

[00:12:28] I don't...

[00:12:28] That's crazy.

[00:12:30] I've heard that from some, like, teachers and stuff.

[00:12:34] Like, one of my English...

[00:12:36] Or my high school history teachers, he had a piece of the Berlin Wall.

[00:12:39] Mm-hmm.

[00:12:39] But then again, my co-worker was born in Germany.

[00:12:42] So, I mean...

[00:12:43] That makes sense.

[00:12:44] He was there.

[00:12:46] I've never been to Germany or Russia.

[00:12:49] Let's do it.

[00:12:50] Let's go.

[00:12:51] I go to Germany.

[00:12:54] I don't know about Russia right now, considering everything, but...

[00:12:57] You remember Y2K?

[00:13:00] I mean, vaguely, I was three years old.

[00:13:03] Okay.

[00:13:03] Do you remember what it was about, though?

[00:13:04] I remember about it.

[00:13:04] Yeah.

[00:13:05] They were scared the computers were going to signal the end times.

[00:13:08] Sure.

[00:13:09] So, they...

[00:13:09] I recently...

[00:13:10] It was like a coding issue, right?

[00:13:11] Yeah.

[00:13:11] It was a coding issue.

[00:13:12] So, I'm going through some classes.

[00:13:14] I'm taking some software classes.

[00:13:15] And one of them was talking about why that was happening.

[00:13:17] Mm-hmm.

[00:13:18] And it was basically because software that was made in the 70s was still being used on computers in the 90s, like leading up to 2000.

[00:13:28] And the problem was, in the early days of computers, there wasn't enough memory, like RAM.

[00:13:35] Mm-hmm.

[00:13:35] So, they could only store a certain amount of information.

[00:13:39] So, what happens is, in binary, when you get up to a certain number and you roll over to the next one, well, it'll still know that the very end digit's a one, but the rest of the digits will go back to a zero.

[00:13:51] Mm-hmm.

[00:13:51] So, it'll restart, basically.

[00:13:53] And it'll keep counting up.

[00:13:54] So, basically, what it was is a lot of the software, when it became 2000, couldn't store the number 2000.

[00:14:04] So, it would roll over and it would basically just change your clock to 1901.

[00:14:09] That's all that was going to happen, by the way.

[00:14:11] Like, everything was going to change.

[00:14:13] People were freaking out about 1901.

[00:14:15] Right.

[00:14:16] And the reason it was a problem was because a lot of critical infrastructure was running off of that date system.

[00:14:22] So, like, if it suddenly said it was the wrong year, it would cause problems, but not enough to, like, end the world.

[00:14:28] Anyway.

[00:14:29] Okay.

[00:14:29] So, that's what happened.

[00:14:30] And, basically, all we did to fix it was put a software update out that said, hey, we have more memory now.

[00:14:37] Now you can keep counting.

[00:14:40] And I like this because we basically said, ah, we'll delay this problem.

[00:14:45] So, what happened when we, the now system that we use for all computers, banking, excuse me, all of that, it will count accurately up until, I believe it's January of 2038.

[00:15:01] And then it will happen again.

[00:15:03] That is so much more soon than I thought it would be.

[00:15:06] Yes.

[00:15:07] In 14 years, it will happen again.

[00:15:09] Because we took the memory and we doubled it and it was, it now goes to 2038.

[00:15:15] So, it gave us 38 years.

[00:15:16] Right.

[00:15:17] But once we double it again, when we get to 2038, which is the leading solution to the problem of just add more memory to it.

[00:15:25] Right.

[00:15:26] How far down the line do you think we're going to kick that can?

[00:15:30] From 20, it went from 2000 to 2038.

[00:15:33] How far down the line is the next problem?

[00:15:36] I don't know.

[00:15:37] Why can't we just invent a better system?

[00:15:40] Well, because that's more difficult than just adding memory.

[00:15:43] I don't know, like 30 years?

[00:15:45] You think it'll go 30 years?

[00:15:46] So, the first time we doubled it, right, it added 38 years.

[00:15:50] We're going to double it again and it's going to add close to like 2 point something million years to the problem.

[00:15:57] What?

[00:15:58] Right.

[00:15:58] How does that work?

[00:15:59] Because binary is exponential.

[00:16:01] Yeah.

[00:16:02] Mm-hmm.

[00:16:03] I learned how to count in binary code, but I don't remember any of it.

[00:16:08] Yes.

[00:16:09] Okay.

[00:16:09] So, the next time it happens is January of 2038.

[00:16:13] And when we inevitably just do the same thing again, it will kick the problem down the road for like 2 million years.

[00:16:20] So, it won't be our problem anymore.

[00:16:22] Yeah.

[00:16:22] I mean, I was like, I doubt we're going to last that long, but how did you even think about that?

[00:16:28] How did I think about that?

[00:16:30] Yeah.

[00:16:30] What do you mean?

[00:16:30] Like, where do you get this stuff from?

[00:16:32] It was in one of my lectures from my class.

[00:16:34] Oh, yeah.

[00:16:35] Because we're taking like programming and binary and what, and how to use like finite memory.

[00:16:40] And that was the lead into, hey, this is the problem in 2000 was the finite memory.

[00:16:46] And it's going to happen again in 2038 and then on so on and so forth.

[00:16:51] Nice.

[00:16:52] Okay.

[00:16:52] Mm-hmm.

[00:16:53] So, I've had this question on my little list for a while that I've wanted to ask.

[00:16:57] You got to stop backing away.

[00:16:58] So, if you could take any ability from a video game and bring it into the real world, what would it be?

[00:17:04] Like literally anything.

[00:17:06] Any ability?

[00:17:07] Like what abilities?

[00:17:10] Like any of them.

[00:17:12] What are the abilities?

[00:17:16] Depends.

[00:17:17] Like what would I use it for?

[00:17:18] Just for fun times?

[00:17:19] Like there's some cool abilities that you could have.

[00:17:21] I think telekinesis would be one of the most useful abilities to pull from a video game.

[00:17:28] Or like using the force, you know, something like that.

[00:17:30] Oh, that'd be pretty cool.

[00:17:31] You looked like you didn't know what telekinesis was.

[00:17:33] That's why.

[00:17:34] I do know what telekinesis is.

[00:17:36] Gosh.

[00:17:38] I would like the ability to fast forward and rewind my life like The Sims.

[00:17:44] Fast forward and rewind your life?

[00:17:46] Yeah.

[00:17:46] You know, like in The Sims, you can go forward or you can go backwards.

[00:17:50] Mm-hmm.

[00:17:51] Why can't we do that in real life?

[00:17:52] That'd be cool.

[00:17:54] Time is very, very constraining in real life.

[00:17:58] Going backwards in time like that where you would just like rewind it and then play it

[00:18:04] again and maybe change a few things.

[00:18:06] I think that would work better.

[00:18:08] But if you just like traveled instantly back in time, it wouldn't work.

[00:18:12] Why?

[00:18:14] Because there's no physical law that would allow you to do it.

[00:18:17] Because say you go backwards in time and mess up something so your parents never meet.

[00:18:21] Well, then they'll never have you and you'll never go back in time.

[00:18:25] So then it creates that paradox.

[00:18:27] Isn't there like a theory for that where they're like every decision you make splits off like

[00:18:31] another universe basically?

[00:18:33] Like every decision creates a new world.

[00:18:35] But that's what I'm saying.

[00:18:36] So you would have no concept that they didn't exist.

[00:18:38] But like another you in a different universe would be affected by it.

[00:18:42] But no, another you in a different universe would just cease to exist.

[00:18:45] Yeah, but you wouldn't know.

[00:18:46] If you go back and prevented it, it would just cease to exist.

[00:18:48] So you'd just be like, oh, should I go back in time?

[00:18:51] Yeah, sure.

[00:18:51] And you would just keep having that thought over and over again.

[00:18:54] And then the other you probably didn't want to be born anyway.

[00:18:57] So it's like it's fine.

[00:18:59] Yes.

[00:19:00] Kill all the versions of yourself.

[00:19:01] That's what that means.

[00:19:03] Kill your darlings.

[00:19:04] I liked the version of time travel.

[00:19:07] I think it was a cartoon.

[00:19:09] I can't remember.

[00:19:09] Maybe an animation based off of something.

[00:19:11] But it was basically like, you know, if you did invent time travel and you went backward

[00:19:16] in time, you would also have to invent teleportation because the Earth is traveling through the universe

[00:19:24] with, you know, our solar system.

[00:19:26] So if you just went backwards in time from like this very spot, the Earth wouldn't be here.

[00:19:31] You'd also have to teleport back to where the Earth was at the time when it was.

[00:19:36] And I'm like, that makes sense.

[00:19:37] Do you think time travel will ever become a thing or do you think it already exists in

[00:19:41] some possible future and it's like constrained technology?

[00:19:45] The only going backwards in time?

[00:19:47] No.

[00:19:47] Going forward in time?

[00:19:48] Yes.

[00:19:49] Why?

[00:19:49] Because going forwards in time is possible.

[00:19:52] It's already been theorized.

[00:19:54] And like the theory of it is urban, but we just can't conceptually like physically do it right

[00:19:59] now.

[00:19:59] Because as you get closer to the speed of light, time passes slower for you.

[00:20:04] So say if we had a spaceship that's able to go the speed of light, you would get to the

[00:20:12] Andromeda galaxy and back and it would take you probably two years.

[00:20:17] Right.

[00:20:18] But when you get back to Earth, it'll be the equivalent of like four million years having

[00:20:23] passed on Earth because of how fast you were traveling relative to Earth.

[00:20:26] And that's like what they all base space time travel off of.

[00:20:29] You ever see Buzz Lightyear?

[00:20:32] The new one?

[00:20:32] The animated one?

[00:20:33] Yeah.

[00:20:34] Yeah.

[00:20:34] Apparently a lot of people didn't like that movie.

[00:20:36] It was just okay.

[00:20:37] I liked it a lot.

[00:20:37] But that concept is in the movie of he keeps traveling faster and faster to try and get

[00:20:42] like the science down and when he returns back to the planet, like years and years have

[00:20:49] passed.

[00:20:49] Yeah.

[00:20:50] That made me really sad.

[00:20:51] This reminded me.

[00:20:53] Did you see scientists discovered that they think they know what's inside of a black hole?

[00:20:59] I think so.

[00:21:00] It was like a week ago.

[00:21:01] So it says the physicist Enrico Rinaldi used quantum computing and a computer learning to

[00:21:07] describe what is believed to be the interior of a black hole.

[00:21:09] Um, which black holes are like scary to me, but it says there's a lot of different theories.

[00:21:18] Okay.

[00:21:18] But basically a black hole distorts space time due to its gravity operating in three

[00:21:25] dimensions.

[00:21:26] Um, so now they're saying it links mathematically to the particles above the black hole.

[00:21:32] So while a black hole occupies three dimensional space, it only appears to observers as a projection

[00:21:39] of particles, which I'm not entirely sure what that all means.

[00:21:41] Like quantum science is not my key thing.

[00:21:45] Basically because light can't escape it, no matter which angle you look at it from, from

[00:21:48] our perspective, it'll look two dimensional, even though it's a 3D like sphere of a hole.

[00:21:53] But this says that it basically like expands the general relativity theory, but it also said

[00:22:00] that our entire universe could be a holographic depiction of particles basically.

[00:22:05] And I'm like, that's, that's, that's mind blowing to me.

[00:22:09] Like I don't, quantum physics is not for me.

[00:22:13] I can't like think about it.

[00:22:15] I will go with something simpler.

[00:22:17] Do you know, like, do you know the cause of most like wars?

[00:22:23] There's like three things.

[00:22:25] No, that's the, like, cause, right?

[00:22:30] Like the, the reason for fighting, right?

[00:22:32] It's like resources, glory, usually religions in there too.

[00:22:39] Right.

[00:22:39] It's, what was it?

[00:22:40] They used to say, uh, what was the, the thing they used to get?

[00:22:44] I think it was sociology that had, it was a gold, God or glory is a reason to like fight

[00:22:49] wars.

[00:22:50] Right.

[00:22:50] I've never heard that.

[00:22:51] Mm.

[00:22:51] It's like the underlying, underlying reason to fight a war.

[00:22:56] Anyway, so the U S uh, I just learned this, but apparently it was last December.

[00:23:01] The U S expanded its territory by 400,000 square miles.

[00:23:08] Mm.

[00:23:09] What?

[00:23:09] Just the ocean or?

[00:23:10] Yes.

[00:23:11] Good guess.

[00:23:12] Good guess.

[00:23:13] Cause you know, we're, we don't have new land, but basically what happens is the way international

[00:23:19] waters and claims work is there's a standard distance from the edge of a land mass.

[00:23:24] And it's usually like 20 nautical miles.

[00:23:26] And that water is considered territory of whichever country the land belongs to.

[00:23:32] Right.

[00:23:33] Well, because of more advanced mapping and basically softwares that are showing the, uh, tectonic

[00:23:41] plates and continents underneath the water, the U S put in a claim for 400,000 square miles

[00:23:49] of territory.

[00:23:51] If you go on the drive, the pictures on there.

[00:23:53] Uh, so everything in blue around Alaska, pink around California, green around the Gulf and

[00:24:02] the Virgin islands and, uh, orange around the Northeast region.

[00:24:06] All of that land is now technically United States water.

[00:24:10] It's a lot of land.

[00:24:13] Yeah.

[00:24:13] Same with the purple, but the purple's out in the middle of the ocean.

[00:24:17] So the, basically they said, Hey, our tectonic plate or our ocean, like land or ocean in this,

[00:24:26] it extends to here and we want it.

[00:24:28] And you have to submit it to, I think it's some treaty organization, whatever.

[00:24:35] And they all have to agree on the scientific findings and then go, okay, that makes sense.

[00:24:39] That's your land or that's your water rather.

[00:24:41] That's your water over the land.

[00:24:44] So look at that.

[00:24:46] U S is bigger than you thought.

[00:24:47] I just, I think the whole concept of like owning the ocean is kind of silly.

[00:24:53] A lot of it has to do with mining rights and like rights underneath like the soil and

[00:24:59] the water and all that fun stuff.

[00:25:00] I think we've mined enough.

[00:25:02] Sorry, I'm stuck in my pants.

[00:25:06] You're stuck in your pants.

[00:25:11] Um, I, I need to put a picture up of this as well, but so, you know how, when we were

[00:25:15] in Belize, we learned I'm up close enough.

[00:25:18] You're not.

[00:25:19] So, you know, when we were bleeds, we learned about how a lot of the like ruins and stuff

[00:25:25] aren't excavated cause it would damage them.

[00:25:27] Right.

[00:25:27] They leave them underneath.

[00:25:28] So recently they found a fuck ton more pyramids of Mayan cities.

[00:25:35] Um, because they are using, you know, LIDAR.

[00:25:39] I do know.

[00:25:41] Okay.

[00:25:42] So explain it for the people at home.

[00:25:44] It's kind of like a, it's a scan using like infrared technology, right?

[00:25:52] Okay.

[00:25:52] Okay.

[00:25:53] I'm not very good at explaining things.

[00:25:54] I feel nervous.

[00:25:55] What does LIDAR stand for?

[00:25:57] Oh my gosh.

[00:25:57] I know it's an acronym, but I don't know what the word stands for.

[00:26:00] So it's light detection and ranging.

[00:26:02] Yes.

[00:26:03] Um, it's just a method to examine the surface of the earth.

[00:26:06] Basically.

[00:26:07] It works the same as like radar guns.

[00:26:09] It shoots a laser or an emission of light.

[00:26:12] And then at times how far back, uh, or how long it takes to get back to the source.

[00:26:17] And then it does that like millions of times over small or big areas so that it can map like

[00:26:23] the height and differences and responses.

[00:26:25] And what they used for the pyramids was a ground, uh, penetration LIDAR, which means that it

[00:26:31] goes through dirt and it ignores like those particles, but it'll bounce off of like the

[00:26:35] stones and things like that.

[00:26:37] But yeah.

[00:26:38] So it's giving them the ability to see ruins that we otherwise will never get to see because

[00:26:43] if we tried to it, they're under mountains now, you know, like they've created hills.

[00:26:48] Um, but so they've just found, they wanted to see how, like how densely populated.

[00:26:55] Mexico was basically during the Mayan classical period.

[00:26:59] So they just like chose a bunch of different random pieces of land to scan them.

[00:27:04] And they didn't find like small little areas like they thought they would.

[00:27:08] They found a whole large ass city.

[00:27:10] Like they had a highway.

[00:27:12] They been farming in these ruins for years at this point without knowing it.

[00:27:16] Um, they said they found like sports courts and stuff.

[00:27:20] Like, I, I don't think people realize how similar to us ancient people were.

[00:27:25] Like we tend to think of ourselves as like super intelligent and like so far evolved, I

[00:27:29] think.

[00:27:30] And it's like, who is saying that the Mayans weren't intelligent though?

[00:27:34] Not like that.

[00:27:34] I just, I feel like people think like, oh, because we have technology, like computers and

[00:27:38] stuff, like somehow we were so much different.

[00:27:40] And it's like, no, like people are largely unchanged besides the technology that we have access

[00:27:44] to.

[00:27:46] I like that your story is always just cut off and never like lead to anything.

[00:27:50] Oh yeah.

[00:27:51] I just, I thought it was cool.

[00:27:52] I just like sharing things that I think are fun.

[00:27:54] Um, they dubbed the city that they found, uh, Valeriana and it included over 6,500 pre-Hispanic

[00:28:03] structures, including both habitation and landscape elements, um, over about 32,000 acres of land.

[00:28:11] And to their knowledge, no one has ever seen archeological field work like this.

[00:28:15] So that's pretty cool.

[00:28:17] I just, I love ruins.

[00:28:19] I think they're so cool.

[00:28:20] I like learning about ancient people.

[00:28:22] I love ruins.

[00:28:24] Soon we'll be in wonder where we will eventually be a ruin.

[00:28:27] Yes.

[00:28:27] Remember the other day we were looking at it, the carbon sinks are failing.

[00:28:31] So that's fine.

[00:28:31] Let's not talk about that.

[00:28:33] Okay, fine.

[00:28:34] Do you know that the, um, even though every like Google employee writes that they have

[00:28:41] like five stars and they love working there, the average employment time at Google is just over a year.

[00:28:49] Is there a reason why?

[00:28:51] There is.

[00:28:51] Thank you for asking.

[00:28:52] It's, it's because of the, uh, accommodations that Google gives everyone.

[00:28:59] Google gives every employee three, uh, free meals a day.

[00:29:03] They give them, you know, access to the bikes on their campus so they can ride around.

[00:29:07] They give them like breaks that you can have.

[00:29:09] Basically they over accommodate you to, uh, and require a little bit less work.

[00:29:14] And then employees are so happy that they overwork themselves.

[00:29:19] Because like, say you, say you worked right from like nine to five and your breakfast starts at 830.

[00:29:26] Well, are you going to get in at nine or do you want to get in at 830 and grab breakfast?

[00:29:30] Right?

[00:29:31] So you're going to come in a little bit earlier.

[00:29:33] You're going to grab breakfast.

[00:29:34] You're going to take lunch, grab some lunch, but they serve dinner at six.

[00:29:39] So you can leave at five, you know, cause your work day's done and go home and cook or whatever.

[00:29:44] Or you can just work a little bit extra on a project and then get dinner at six.

[00:29:50] So what they've found is that Google employees are overworking themselves and then burning themselves out after about a year.

[00:29:56] I would love to know how many Google employees are single men.

[00:30:00] Why?

[00:30:02] Because I feel like, like that's something that would appeal to you if, you know, you don't have a reason to go home.

[00:30:07] Like if you're just like, oh, I don't want to cook for myself cause it's just me.

[00:30:10] Not like I got a wife and two kids at home waiting on me.

[00:30:13] So I got to go home, you know?

[00:30:14] Maybe.

[00:30:15] But even then, even then if you get an hour of overtime and you can get some like free dinner to take home to your kids,

[00:30:22] would that not be worth it to you?

[00:30:23] You get a little pay on the, on the top and then you can bring, you know, food home for everybody.

[00:30:29] Okay.

[00:30:30] Let's see.

[00:30:30] We got the Google demographics pulled up.

[00:30:32] Okay.

[00:30:33] So Google's a male dominated company figures.

[00:30:36] 60% of Google employees are male while 40% are female.

[00:30:40] About 50% are white.

[00:30:43] So, you know.

[00:30:45] What are these stats and then your commentary after them?

[00:30:48] Just say the stats.

[00:30:49] Don't you?

[00:30:49] So, you know, so this, so, you know, I'm trying to see if there's like, they're white.

[00:30:52] So, you know, if they have like their marriage status, that's what I really care about.

[00:30:56] Okay.

[00:30:58] Cause it says like their length of employment, which you're right.

[00:31:00] The majority of them stay for about a year.

[00:31:04] Um, only 7% of people at Google have been there for 11 plus years.

[00:31:10] That's pretty cool.

[00:31:11] And they do pay above average salary.

[00:31:14] But yeah, I just, let me see.

[00:31:16] What are the, how many people at Google are married?

[00:31:18] All I can find is that it says a significant portion of Google employees are considered to be single.

[00:31:24] Yeah.

[00:31:24] I feel like.

[00:31:25] This is often attributed to the demanding work culture, focus on career advancement and large

[00:31:29] concentration of young professionals at the company, leading to less emphasis on settling down with a partner.

[00:31:34] Yeah.

[00:31:35] And I just, I think if you offer all those sorts of benefits, it's really going to attract people who don't have to worry about other relationships or hobbies or things in their life.

[00:31:43] No.

[00:31:44] Same thing with like a flight attendants or airline pilots, like a flight attendants, especially have to be able to drop everything and just go up and go wherever they want.

[00:31:53] You know, so I don't know.

[00:31:56] I think it's interesting.

[00:31:57] I like to learn about demographics like that, but I think that's going to do about it.

[00:32:04] I am so awkward.

[00:32:05] I like that we speak fluently for a while or you try to, and then, and then we get to the end and I'm like, let's do the close out.

[00:32:12] And you're like, so we words it and leave now us.

[00:32:17] All right.

[00:32:19] Well, slaps thighs in Midwest.

[00:32:21] I'm going to get your own right out of here.

[00:32:23] I like the whole time, by the way, if the audience can hear it, that's ice shaking in her iced coffee.

[00:32:28] That's what that sound is.

[00:32:29] I don't think they can hear it.

[00:32:30] Because I can hear it in my ears.

[00:32:32] I don't think they'll be able to hear it in the video.

[00:32:35] You're right.

[00:32:35] Because I have to edit it out, which just means I get to sit for a couple hours listening to ice shaking in my ears again.

[00:32:41] I don't, I don't think you'll hear it on the recording.

[00:32:43] Oh, thank goodness.

[00:32:44] Okay.

[00:32:44] Well, that's going to be the end of our show today.
