-1 1. Akira commented 8 years ago on video 10 Things You Didn't Know About Germany

- Germany is called "Bundesrepublik Deutschland". "Bundesrepublik" alone makes no sense - it's just denotes the type of country
- The dark Bread shown is not Pumpernickel
- I work in a German company. The hostname of each of our computers and servers is a brand of beer
- The culture in the different states is not really that different

The speakers pronunciation is very good indeed.

+1 3. Akira commented 9 years ago on video How to Become Gluten Intolerant

Being gluten intolerant myself, this is guy is somewhere between ignorant and insulting. He clearly does not understand the difference between being gluten intolerant and being a dick.

#1: There is a difference between celiac disease and gluten intolerance. And I don't think gluten intolerance is explainable by the placebo effect. How did you arrive at this conclusion? Do you have professional training in medicine or biochemistry? Or are you just a guy with an overabundance of opinion?

What the makers of this documentary fail to understand is the difference between analogue and digital information. Digital information is not less prone to noise (as they say), it has no noise. It's representation has noise. So if you choose its representation carefully, you can correct. Analogue signals degrade. Digital signals do not degrade. You can store an image or a audio signal indefinetly and will always have the same thing - This is not possible with analogue images etc.

#11 It's two veriations of the same plant - hemp. You need to look at both because the ban on high-THC hemp ("marihuana";) is used to argue the ban on low-THC hemp.

If you want to get more details about the banning of cannabis and the industrial opportunities of hemp I recommend you watch this documentation (~1h):

Loved the video. This is such a beautiful landscape.
Only I found the cyclist a bit distracting when admiring the view.

Truck drivers do these kind of things.

Our company did test some mining truck equipment on site in the netherlands. On mining trucks, not regular truck (~120t trucks). They do a lot of drifting. It was not uncommon for two mining trucks pass each other in a curve on a dirt road, both drifting.

When I drive, I often see cyclists without lights. This video - maybe shocking - should remind you how important it is to care about all your lights functioning properly.

I'm sorry she also has a mental illness, but honestly, I don't think this is a sufficient reason to bother people with her incoherent utterings.

Seriously, this is hard to watch.

You are confusing mass and weight here.

Its not tragic, its sick. Putting someone in a situation facing such a choice, no matter whether real or imagined, whether story or not it the work of a sick and troubled individual. Such as the creators of this video.

Not something I would share with a friend. It does the opposite of advertising their faith but to illustrate what is wrong about the believers.
