  • I genuinely don’t see anything inherently suspicious about advertising through YouTube videos. Yes, there have been a few big name ones that were problematic, but that’s going to be true with most advertising, I’d think.

    The other big one coming to mind being the Scottish titles thing. Which, I never thought it was legit, and anyone thinking it made them a real Lord or Lady was foolish, but in Scotland it’s illegal to subdivide property that much and sell it as souvenir plots of land. And people’s coverage on the topic really annoyed me because they focused so much on some Scottish titles organization saying they didn’t recognize land ownership as meaning you had a title, which, to me, is far less of an issue. Like, if you’re selling me something and saying that it makes me very distinguished to own it, I know that’s bullshit, but I’d expect to actually own the thing in the end.




  • Regardless of what base you’re using, 10 is always the nth number. In base 10 (normal numbers), 10 is 10th. In base 2 it is the 2nd.

    1. 1
    2. 10
    3. 11

    In base 16 (hexadecimal) it is the 16th.

    1. 1
    2. 2
    3. 3
    4. 4
    5. 5
    6. 6
    7. 7
    8. 8
    9. 9
    10. A
    11. B
    12. C
    13. D
    14. E
    15. F
    16. 10

    The original joke is “there are 10 kinds of people, those who understand binary and those who don’t l” because 10 in binary is 2 in base 10. But they’re pointing out that a similar joke works for all bases of numbers.
