I would like to do more, but my problem is balancing out life and this. But also making sure that I'm truly compelled to cover a topic and I'm not just doing it simply because I feel like I need to get a video out. It's a balancing act, but I would like to make more KZfaq content more regularly; it's just some videos are easier to make, and frequently the stuff I find that I have more passion over requires a lot more work. Thank you for sticking around, I really appreciate it!

The German word "die" is not pronounced like the English word "die." It is pronounced like "dee." Before writing this comment, I knew that it gets translated as "the," but my memory felt incomplete, so I looked it up. Like many languages, German assigns genders to different nouns, with corresponding forms of the definite article ("the"). "Die" is used for feminine nouns, "der" for masculine nouns, and "das" for neuter nouns.

Oh, I now see the mistake. In 2010 there was a large incident of Art theft that took place in Paris France. Picasso was among and the painters their pieces stolen. Five pieces of art were stolen, and multiple websites seem to attribute them all to Picasso, or at least indicate such through their wording. I simply took one of the paintings and put it in the video, and apparently was unlucky with the pick.

Two things: 1. The violet fact made me curious how the phrase "shrinking violet" came about if violets are such a "extroverted" flower. I did some research, but found conflicting opinions. Anyone have insight on this? 2. At 9:12, you misspelled "Toroid" as "Troid". Other than that, great job!

Thank you Keith. I do not think I hav ever smelled violets so the biggest thing the fact made me think of was that.

The craziest part about it to me is the fact that they are among the only animals to have survived Antarctica splitting often freezing over. Many of the animals that once existed on Antarctica share a history with the animals on what is now Australia. But they all died off due to climate change. So these little bugs are literally among the literal last vestiges of all native life that once existed on that continent. There was actually ant life ones in Antarctica, it be interesting to know what potential sub species and species altogether developed during the cold only to still completely die off.

I know this is over a year old but this and the tongue reply got me thinking of two things that have screwed up a few hours of my day on several occasions. So if any of you see this think about these two things, first one that is not so bad is blinking. Few times its happened and you notice it and end up constantly blinking when normally you dont realize and is a natural reaction. When you pay attention to it then it can become so annoying. Second one which is the worst one is a few times I've ended up paying attention too my breathing and when that happens its like you have too remember to breath instead of breathing automatically without thinking about it and you realize you haven't breathed for about 30 seconds and need to remember to breath in and out. That is the most annoying and horrible one out of the two.

Unfortunately, it's a bit of a money issue. I need to save up money for better lighting equipment, I'll need some quality sound recording equipment, and once I have the both of those I can utilize a bigger space to fill myself in so I can use a Teleprompter. I'm being slowed down by the fact that I have been having frequent kernel panics (shutting my computer down) with my computer seemingly having a RAM issue. So I'll probably need to get another thing 16 gigabytes of RAM, which is more money. I am very careful how I spend my money, which subsequently means I have to compensate by spending more time to make videos. And do do that, it's also exhausting and it requires more brakes.
