So the cost of gas in 2009 sent me down a little rabbit hole on gas prices vs oil prices. I get that there are other expenses beyond the cost of crude, but why is the cost of gas in 2023 around double what it was in 2009, while the WTI index is within a few dollars?

You forgot to mention my favourite bit! The Beatles' LOTR movie was turned down by Tolkein himself, due to having lived three doors down from them in 1964. He described the sounds of them practising as "indescribable", which I'm sure is a very evocative term for a writer of his calibre.

You questioned the popularity of these videos. Your narration is engaging and enthusiastic. The video is interesting and keeps the pace very well while not being busy or difficult to track. These really are a delight to watch. They're the "comic strips" of art, really. It's fun and easily accessible entertainment that is very well done.
And you should know that the popularity of these have brought you to the attention of people like me, who rarely use CZcams for anything but listening to music.
I assure you that eye-rolling had a "negative connotation" WELL before the 1980's! I was born in 1958, and, as early as kindergarten, an eye-roll toward either Mom or Dad would earn me a slap. They would say, "Don't you roll your eyes at me, young man!" It took a lot of discipline to curtail my eye-rolling activities! I'm sure any senior watching this video would absolutely concur with me. Facts that you get out of a book somewhere can't hold a candle to actual experience!

“Rabbits not being able to vomit” that is an extremely important thing to know for bunny owners!
That makes me wonder if there are scientists who SPECIFICALLY run tests to see if certain animals can vomit…
@@relser187 yes, and rats also can’t

Two different kinds of seizures the last one so bad the bunny broke its own back. We were told at the time that bunnies unlike humans cannot vomit up a poison.
Why was this demonstration done? To get our attention. Make no mistakes because stuff like this will happen to our human patients. In my 40 years of practice, if I ever have ANY doubt about a prescription, IT DOES NOT GET FILLED. I have thrown away thousands of dollars worth of compounds because I had doubt about how it was made.

horses don't vomit either
@DEEJMASTER 333 same
Pigeons don't have a sense of fullness so they may die due to overeating. Also, some birds have to swallow and vomit rocks to help with digestion
Rats can't vomit either; it's an anatomic impossibility for them. That's why Strychnine is so effective against them; Strychnine may (occasionally) cause vomiting in other animals - including humans - but rats can't do anything but digest it and die.
Same with rabbits, apparently. Please don't keep the rat poison in Little Bunny Foofoo's cage, thanks. 😕

The most likely scenario with the camera you mentioned is probably a lot less foggy if you look at it like this. What I think probably happened, is that they did a limited release market test somewhere that was fairly quiet and far away from large cities, and the test went poorly, hence the scrapped idea. If the statistics you see don't match what you would expect in a small sample size, sometimes companies jump the gun.
