Isn’t a theory more rigorous than a hypothesis? The closer you get to math, the less weight “theory” seems to have.

Please no, it feels like we just got out of the phase where everything has zero-effort zombie versions.
The issue is that the keyboard focus changes with normal usage, and impairs normal usage. If you go to jump back with left arrow, and accidentally touch down arrow, the focus is unrecoverably moved and you can’t even pause anymore.
This wouldn’t be a problem if using the mouse or the up/down arrows didn’t focus the volume slider. Tab should be perfectly capable of moving the focus if you want to focus volume specifically, especially as volume has dedicated shortcuts already.
Most HP products are worthless scrap now.
There are lots of reasons to have binocular frontal vision. Redundancy, differing info for optic flow, sensitivity, reducing the frontal blind spot, compensating for retinal blind spots, higher frontal resulution, seeing around things, depth perception…
Most of there are good for predators, but predation isn’t the only reason to have them.
Aye-Ayes and Tarsiers have very forward facing eyes, yet eat mostly gruvs in trees.


Randall does have a lot of geology humor specifically. I wouldn’t be surprised if he knows a few geologist.


I can see a little grain of truth in finding depressions and soft ground as the dowser shifts their body to stand level, which may indicate geological features associated with ground water.
Humans also have a really good sense of smell for petrichor, which might also be related to ground water, with dowsing just being useful to focus on suble things like smell.
Anyone who thinks dowsing can detect water directly is clueless or lying though, and dowsing has absolutely been used as a grift before.


Goblin sharks exist!

We we’re hit especially hard because they shrunk each island individually. Just the Canadian mainland looks the same size as the states.
On the other hand, seeing Russia shrunk like that makes me think we could be bigger!
