There is a scene in Mass Effect 2 where a few space-navy officers are getting a serious lecture from their superior, about why they shouldnt "eyeball it" when it comes to aiming guns that fire multi-kilogram slugs at 1% of the speed of light.

Made by the lowest bidder

I actually laughed out loud

You forgot "and costs 20 times normal"

"Or at least that's what the representative from the factory in the Defense Subcomittee Chairman's district told us we think."

“Made by the lowest bidder.”

Anyone who has experienced military grade food or toilets would question the value attached to the term

Sounds like what you'd expect the average Fox viewer to spend way too much money on (or at least those viewers well below the average viewer age of mid 70s). "Mom! I'm gonna buy these cool glasses and flashlight! Give me an advance on my allowance! No, I don't want to get a job! Who would troll the internet if I'm at work?! But mooooom! They're military grade! I can take them with me when I bring my rifle and camo to walk around Walmart!"

@@byrnemeister2008 I'm Ex Royal Navy I've had to work with the rubbish that is supplied as military grade, most of the problem comes from poorly written contracts by people that don't know what is really needed. Prices go up because as you say they are limited runs of products, but also (can only speak for the UK) MOD is really slow at paying for things, so the company tends to factor that into the costs.

Best comment of the video

Actually, yeah, that cockroach/wasp spray you use contains nerve agents. Hence the big f**ing warnings on bug-bombs to keep people and animals out. The very low dosage in them is quickly lethal for bugs because of their simple nervous systems, and doesn't harm larger animals as quickly, but with prolonged exposure, you're looking at being very sick for a while.

​@@Kineth1 yeah good point; we definitely use nerve agents all the time, to great effect. Though to clarify the safety story: it's not exactly that the dosage is low, it's that insect nerves have some different chemical pathways than mammal nerves. Insecticides are designed to just target those insect-only pathways, so that they're safe to use around mammals. In other words, the dosage in a can of Raid, relative to LD50, is extremely low for us mammals, but would be extremely high if we were insects.

Yes, you're right, weapons-grade nerve agents as opposed to perfume. 🤢

Cigarettes, Botox, insecticides. Plenty of consumer goods contain neurotoxins.

@@metanumia Don't forget MACE

SM: "It's relatively easy to make an atom bomb..." YT: "Lets put this video in people's recommended list"

The plans are available, along with the patents. The big problem is not making one, but living to finish assembling it, as the least of the worries you have is radiation, the metals involved are all by themselves a pretty toxic group, and the radiation they give off is rather hard to conceal.

@@SeanBZA Not to mention getting the materials in sufficient quantities that the NRC doesn't take an interest in you. You'd basically have to build a shell uranium mine on an undiscovered deposit and build everything underground.

@@gajbooks And the US mapped the utter crap out of the US looking for Uranium Deposits. All by the early 1960s...

Well if it's not aircraft grade I can't pack it in my carry on bag.

@@johnladuke6475 Lol, you joke, but some materials really are aircraft grade. Peter Sripol builds his questionably effective ultralight aircraft out of only aircraft grade materials and bolts, which actually certifies the quality and tensile strengths much more precisely than whatever steel you buy at the hardware store. Think of the SpaceX helium tank strut that broke. That's what aircraft and aerospace grade is supposed to prevent.

@@Allan_aka_RocKITEman Well I'd interpret "weapons grade" to mean that it's an average concentration of 80% food... so, about 70% better than Taco Bell.

Well I can come up with a few food items which I think the OPCW ought to classily as weapons grade: Surströmning and Lutefisk. If you put a can of one of those in a bonfire, you do not get a mushroom cloud, but nature would likely shape the cloud as a skull and crossbones instead :-)

What's the big deal about Wall Street? I keep hearing all kinds of people mentioning it, but I don't understand why it's getting so much attention. (Also, I'm not an investor, so I know very little about the workings of the stock market.)

@@InventorZahran Essentially investment funds hedged on certain downward trending stocks to diminish in price. So they entered into an agreement with lenders to borrow shares of those stocks which they then sold at market price. They intended to pocket the profit or difference when their contract requires them to return the amount of shares they were loaned and the price has reached the low amount they want (ie sold loaned shares at 10ea, bought at 8ea to return). Users on investment forums were made aware of large hedges made by these companies and began driving the price up, so the losses incurred by those companies could be as high as the price really, as they have to buy that stock and return the shares to the lender. The funds drive the price up in contractually clearing their position in the loan, and it's a self feeding cycle that will ensure for the time being that the price will skyrocket. Some of the forum speculators have already made and will make quick profits while the involved hedge companies lose billions, and before the stock eventually plunges taking clueless bandwagoning investors with it.

@@rudiruttger A number of the "speculators" are _expecting_ to lose money on this move. With them, it's less about getting rich quick and more about sending a message. It's Occupy Wall Street, round 2.

@@5Andysalive no, it's the opposite of the point, you don't want a highly radioactive and decaying warhead in your missiles

And here I thought that the worst problem was that it's really heavy.

The big lie about Thorium reactors is the fear of nuclear terrorists fashioning a bomb from U232. The reality is Thorium can supply global energy needs for a very long time.

@@NeverTalkToCops1 it's not exactly a lie. It's just that a terrorist wouldn't be able to do it in a cave somewhere, they'd need significant amounts of help refining and purifying the U232. So not impossible, just incredibly difficult and unlikely.

No. It's called the internet and it's now penetrating parts of the market that otherwise would never have heard nor looked into such things nor got such frank examinations. Long gone are the days of being stuck in a library or only having a select few videos or books or professors imported from certain institutions. The internet allows us to contact and see minds from all over and we get to learn things that would have otherwise stayed quite localised and internalised

Rarely the lowest bidder. The contracts are "best value" that's not the same thing, but the general public likes to pretend they know how government acquisition contracts work and think "lowest bidder" means inferior so it's becomes a criticism...

@@buckhorncortez The general public contains a lot of veterans I have talked to that have a different opinion of what you refer to as "value." Those who talk down to the people actually using the gear because they push pencils and rub elbows with people that have a high opinion of themselves like to pretend they know what is actually a "good value." Pretty much every actual soldier I've talked to has stories about how the military cutting corners and cheaping out on stuff or spending way too much money on things they don't need or don't work; let alone things that damn near/actually did cost people their lives.
