Basically Man in Cave is a rather blatant copy of an article by Mental Floss in 2018, but animated.

TLDR if you don't wanna watch the 20 minute segment:
Internet Historian used the Mental Floss article as a script for the video. The owners of the article made a DMCA takedown on the video as it was used without permission. Internet Historian has downplayed why it was taken down, reworded and removed swaths of the video to make it sound less like the article. Released the re-upload of Man in Cave with another video at the same time in order to try and distract from the story that he did indeed copy a little known article.

He does good work... but he also totally did copy the script of Man in Cave. Hbomberguy does a pretty good argument proving this.

Sounds like a wonderful story arc. Looking for a buyer for a kidney stone while at the exact same time, infuriatingly, fending off assassins trying to steal the kidney stone. Which you would ABSOLUTELY SELL TO THEM if they would just reach out.

Do you advertise even more publicly, risking more assassins? Or do you stay more quiet, do research, try to figure out why people want this stone so badly and yet won't just buy the damn thing?

I mean, in the era of VHS this won't work because ultimately you're fast forwarding and rewinding. So you're gonna watch it anyway. but in the digital era I thought this would be what any Police officer did?

Like... they're not even gonna spend 10 minutes on a theft?

Admittedly, there is no government housing for politicians, which means either buying renting in washington DC (not cheap) in addition to your home in your own state, or moving entirely to Washington DC for a position you may lose in 4 years.

The entire job seems to be closed out to everyone but millionaires.

It's because bioware made 1 and 2. And they did it pretty well. A competing studio made 3 and whupped them

"at scale" it could be just as bad. C02 isn't poisonous the big problem we're dealing with is we're putting C02 from the ground in oil and coal and putting it into the air. We've been adding C02 that was NOT in the environment into the environment.

Yeah some water isn't a bad thing, but if all of a sudden we're adding from sources outside of the water cycle a LOT more water into the atmosphere you've got increased clouds, increased weather patterns, All of a sudden the inland portions of continents can start dumping as much water into the air as a warm ocean, that can DEFINITELY be a problem.

... I mean it wouldn't imbalance C02 but you would be adding water. At scale that could be just as bad.

Carbon neutral, yes, but water positive.

Honestly they seem out of fashion nowadays. It's one more thing to move when you move, it cost a lot for very little, most people lack a tool set to attach it to the bedframe.

If you imagine the old timey beds the 7 dwarves slept in in snow white, they had their names on the foot board of the bed and the headboard of the bed was on the other side of the bed by their head.

While this looks cool, my phone can't actually scan any of these. Anybody else have any luck?

well I feel like an idiot. I always credited Duke Nukem for that line.
