Welcome to Dr Spritzler's Science YouTube Channel. What James May is getting at, in addition to some cool physics is the fact that trains and tankers are by far the most efficient way to move things or transport cargo (as Claude describes below). Here's roughly how they stack up, in BTU needed to move one ton of cargo one mile (log scale, since the spread is huge): F-150 pickup (gas): ~4,600 BTU/ton-mile — based on DOE/ORNL data for large pickups (~38.5 gal per 1,000 ton-mil

It's time to open the Spritzler School for the Gifted. Children will be admitted with only a pencil, a class uniform and the desire not to be jolted by our patented 110 volt shock generator. Keeps it "fresh". Yes, Children Really Are Getting Dumber Covid shutdowns, grade inflation and now AI are degrading the quality of American education.

Ok, you pathetic children who've never heard of him. He was at one time the world's great and most pompous sportscaster. Billy Crystal capturing the true Howard. In fact Howard was so full of himself, he cast him in Bananas. Howard was a great sport and was happy to be lampooned. Anything to get his face in front of a camera.

I know this will seem odd, but our nation needs more people studying gender differences, diversity and mindfulness. China is missing the boat by generating armies of engineers and removing barriers for businesses to innovate. Sure they'll run the world, most in Gen Z & Millennials will work for a Chinese conglomerate but...we'll be more psychologically "centered". That is until we realize our economy is getting squeezed like Germany is experiencing now. Never mind. Forgot

Hey, I'm as patriotic as the next guy but I'd rather own a BYD (which I can't buy because Voldemort is angry at Xi). I guess that Covid thing pissed him off. And so I need to suffer? Is that fair?

Very thought provoking. My only difference of interpretation: Israel has done a brilliant job against Hezbollah, Iran, the Houthis and has every right to exterminate any member of Hamas. Was leveling Gaza City an effective tactic? Not sure about that. Could they have done better or come up with better options? I suspect so. That doesn't however mean they've committed genocide and Maher is correct on that point. Is Bill right to call out young people and Dems who refuse to

About 8 in 10 Americans take supplements, and many see them as important to their health ByEmma Kikuchi and Brian Kennedy, PEW Research About eight-in-ten U.S. adults say they are currently taking at least one supplement for their health, according to a new Pew Research Center survey. And most people who do this say supplements are at least somewhat important to their health. Vitamins and minerals (such as iron, calcium or multivitamins) are by far the most common supplement.

Dagnabbit. I hate it when the facts ruin a perfectly good story. There's a small chance that Ms. Omar didn't marry her brother. Ok, fine! If you're going to be a nitpicker, there's a good chance. Talk about ruining my day. The claim that U.S. Representative Ilhan Omar married her biological brother centers on her 2009 legal marriage to British citizen Ahmed Nur Said Elmi. While the rumor has circulated widely and led to scrutiny of her personal records, no conclusive evide

Don't think China America's biggest problem? Bernie Sanders doesn't believe this. He think American economic might is the enemy. Note: This is a deep dive. Don't watch if you can't devote 30 minutes to this.

Oh boy! The Dark Lord isn't going to like this one bit. He was very much looking forward to throwing America's greatest Olympic paddler in the slammer.

The media coverage of this has been pretty worthless. So it's time for Snitz to mansplain this. Strap in. The key questions: Was Canada "f-cking us"? If "yes", how badly were they "fucking" us? Is our relatiatory response a smart tactic or overkill? By itself or in the context of our other geopolitcal moves? I've used both Claude and Gemini to generate some research here. I: Canada was shoving it up our tuchus? Yes. There are some longstanding, substantive complaints that pr
