Disney does customer service right

Here's a story about a hat I lost, and how Disney handled it. In short: they empower everyone to make a "bad" experience a memorable "good" one. And maybe I'll get my hat back one day.

the thing about conspiracy theories is....

I am talking about conspiracy theories in general, how to spot - and how to combat them. I focus on the "aliens at Roswell" story and explain how that became a comething. I reference an article in the week, and show some shots from that article. You can find the whole thing here: https://theweek.com/us/59331/roswell-ufo-crash-what-really-happened-67-years-ago You should always be a skeptic and think about what you're being told. One quick editors note: I'm still dealing with getting the production value where I want it to be. Recording on my phone is great for shorts, but "in studio" is a little more tricky. I'll get it figured out. :)

The position of the sun throughout the year

Have you ever noticed that shadows move throughout the year? Go to the same spot every day at the same time, and you'll notice that they do. And have you ever thought about why? Or looked at the sun in the sky and noticed it is in a different place? I talk about that and explain why! And I did a year-long video to share what it looks like.

Thousand vs Million vs Billion

Its easy to get confused about very large numbers. So I give a simple example of the difference between one thousand 1,000 (1 with 3 zeros) one million 1,000,000 (1 with 6 zeros) one billion 1,000,000,000 (1 with 9 zeros)

My Tesla had a tire with low pressure and wouldn’t hold air. Where do I go?

It seemed to be a nail in the tire … but where should I take the car? After all, it needed the jack stand to be properly placed, so I can’t just take it anywhere. Tesla service center or mobile service may not be a good option; I’ve heard varying reviews on how they handle punctures in the tires. A little googling later and I decided to go and check out discount tires. And they were great!

Why the grassy strips at the dolphins stadium?

There are grassy strips around Joe Robbie Stadium / Hard Rock Stadium. Why are they there? Because construction uncovered artifacts from the Tequesta Indian tribe, and agreed to honor the heritage by leaving some amount of the parking area as grass.
