That beard gave me a jumpacare. I like the look! It's a reminder that everyone's human.
Always read the plaque, as 99%invisible would say 😀
that last thing you said; that's what i needed to come away from this video with. thank you. i'm going to stand atop the willamsburg bank building and get into a laser sword fight with someone on the empire state building. not even from a height perspective, but because brooklyn over everything.
This was very enjoyable🙂
I'm concerned Calgary may be a tesseract of liminal spaces.
Hmm. That tiny building might be twice as high as anything in a large city (say, million population) in Canada or the US (outside of Alberta). Looks like CN Tower and Sears Tower might be next, both at about 630m. Denver proper isn't a million (but the metro area is), and lots of Mexico is even higher, so this is a rather narrow definition.
(My key doubt is whether there are any buildings high in the Los Angeles part of the San Gabriels.)

I am supremely enjoying these patreon videos.
Very cool. Now go find the lowest point.
-.- I already know where it is and have the car packed
Huh, Calgary (on average?) is 0.4 km higher than Edmonton (and .2 km above Red Deer). . . anyway, the highest point in Edmonton is Southwest Highland at 716 m, but the best view is imo at the corner of 75 St. NW and Ada Blvd NW. It's right on the edge of the river valley—gorgeous. Still, nuts that's Edmonton's highest point is 582 m lower than Calgary's own.
That's really interesting!
So when we getting the video being sacrificed to the Convergence installation?
I didn't sign up for this patreon to get beard envy, but I'll take it
Dammit Dan, save some beard for the rest of us.
In my head canon, the last series of simple patreon videos are breaks from doing a youtube essay that's so dark and so deep that Dan needs to do these to stay sane.
Damn dude, that beard is thicc
Just speculating here but it’s possible that Calgary has the highest lowest point of any major Canadian city
Long-distance moose is better than no moose at all!
Is it a reservoir to provide water pressure for the city? The highest point in the city would be a good location for that.
Oooh, good theory! Maybe I'll ask the city.
Now ya gotta calculate the curvature of the Earth between yourself and your Brookfield nemesis.
