Are Gamma Ray Bursts Dangerous?

Not too worried about natural extinctions events, to answer the query. Does look like Fraser is in danger of getting buried by unraked leaves, though.

Fraser, Not that I don't like seeing you do these presentations, but I don't have a lot of time to sit and watch. Most of my podcast time is in the car listening. Is there a way to D/L an audio version anywhere? Even if that version has ads, I'll still keep up the contributions here.

Good video, Just found your site and glad I can be a patreon. I liked your comment about need to worry more about diet and exercise. I am a big believer in the best way to maximize health is to do what our mothers told us long ago: eat right, exercise, get plenty of rest, do not smoke or do drugs; drink in moderation (ok, my Mom did not say this to me when I was 10), do not do stupid things (i.e. do not play with matches and gasoline even if Jimmy B. is doing it - I have lots of Jimmy B. stories), make friends, go outside and play (but be careful - especially when playing with Jimmy B.) and do not stress out about life. This advice will not solve all the health problems in the country but they will make a big difference. In the end, we will all die. Focus on the things you can control and do not stress about the things you cannot - like gamma ray bursts. Remember stress can cause illness.
