December video poll
As usual, I will break a tie. You can vote for as many as you like. If there is something you really want me to touch on leave a comment!
Thanks for voting, poll ends 11/14 so I have time to plan the video. Time will be a little tight with all the holidays coming up and I just want to make sure I give myself enough time.
My antimatter video should come out tomorrow!

I'm just at the part in the Xmas econ 101 video where it's about good gifts. I made 1 (one!) good gift in my lifetime so far. When I was in 2nd semester at Uni for physics (Uni works different here ... it's fine) and we were getting the intro to tensors, a friend I made there had his birthday. When thinking about the Levi-Civita epsilon (we called it ε-tensor) I had my only spark of genius so far. I went and bought a Rubik's Cube, some superglue and printed some sheets. I built a real life Levi-Civita epsilon! Just gluing a Rubik's Cube so it doesn't turn and then sticking -1, 0 and +1 stickers on the faces of the cube. I will NEVER give a better gift. It's been ... long. But he still has it. Also, I bought 5 Rubik's Cubes because I wasn't sure I get it right the first try. The first one turned out fine. So I took the other 4 to learn how to solve them. So it was a gift for myself as well I guess.
Forget that we can't travel between stars yet, and this would be a major engineering challenge, and materiel science isn't there yet. But could an advanced civilization (maybe us in far future) use a magnetar or a pulsar as a source of energy?
For the holidays it could be nice to have a behind the scenes or everyday things that put a smile on you're face. Just something light hearted and fun. Mabey go somewhere or do something you've always wanted.
Hoping for something about the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago
About science museums, I was in Chicago this summer and my family and I went to the Adler Planetarium. One of the exhibits had some videos (clearly a decade-plus old) with astronomers talking about various topics. One guy was going on about string theory and how it’s the next great thing, and I could not unhear your retorts after every sentence.
Gravity is probably my favorite area of physics to learn (my degrees are in Computer Science, so basically, I'm an idiot on gravity but I love it), but WoW?! I played off and on from 2008 to 2021 when I deleted my Blizzard account deleted because of the ultimate revelations of what had been going on within that company for so long (really regretting that decision, missing my nelf shadow priest and knifu, Xal'atath, and what they're doing with her now), but I'm really stoked to hear what you have to say about WoW!
Oh these are great! Fingers crossed to hear your thoughts and feelings on World of Warcraft 🤞🏻 Curious if you’ve seen Dan Olsen’s video Why it’s Rude to Suck at Warcraft?
Dan Olsen is my favorite and yes I have! That video hit a lot on why I played WoW the way I played WoW....which was usually by myself.
ever play on Moonguard?
I had never heard of that but just went on a very wild google journey.
I don't think it's set up to be able to select more than one?
That's an issue with the Patreon App. In a Browser you can choose multiple options
