      @Heads Mess
      With all that, what are you up to these days? Did you go into higher education or had you had enough of it by the end of school days? I came to very similar conclusions as you and early enough I realised the 'education system' held nothing of great interest or worth for me. Not boasting, that's just the way it is/was.
      I don't mean to sound patronising in the following, I assure you I am not being, but it is sometimes difficult to put my proper inflection into text.
      I absolutely agree with you on the fucked up education system, but that doesn't excuse her or any 'teacher' to just 'follow the curriculum'. It shows a complete lack of real individuality.
      Believe me I do know what the 'education system' is, my history and experience of it parallels yours.
      Your metalwork teacher sounds like a typical arsehole-teacher (in later years my sister and her colleagues were/are the same), 'blinkered' and in it mainly for the money-benefits and the 'ego-massage' that the title gives them; but totally out of their actual depth re the basics of the subjects/tools or actually engaging with the pupils and teaching any of it. Not all of them fit that mold I had several incredibly good 'teachers', but they were the very minor exception not the greater norm.
      I agree on the 'babysitting' too, but that is a fault of the so-called education system and the inordinate number of 'pretend teachers' that are either not really on top of their subject or are too scared of critisism from the 'authority-system' or just plain unable to communicate properly.
      'She' could have better engaged you and the kids by using the spare time you had created by going through your methods and other different methods of getting the right result/answers themselves, in the meantime introducing the fundamentals behind it/them and the applied techniques. She missed an opportunity there to elevate and educate. Everybody is at different levels and abilities when at the same biological age, experience and other factors will change that for the better or worse. The 'bright/knowledgeable' ones will be bored/wasted in the 'by rote' curriculum, the lesser able/knowledgeable will be failed on many levels.
      I never said being a teacher was easy, but if they can't/wont rise to the challenge then they are not worthy of the title or post, they are just facades for babysitters and time wasters, that's their time and others.
      It was good that you had the drive/abilities to do 'non-curriculum' projects, most people do not have that in any form, the vast majority are waiting for 'something' to be provided that never materialises or trained from birth to just 'do as told' and actively discouraged from even contemplating anything other; being superficially entertained and distracted and kept-busy is the best they will ever get.
      I sense an anger and disappointment in you at the failure of the education system to help you progress and achieve more.
      I would like to contribute more but I am not in any position to do much other than confirm your conclusions and encourage you to keep swinging at it; you might be in a 'minority' but that doesn't mean you are not worthy of much greater achievements.
      I teach people/kids, either on demand or by happenstance; usually I can sort out the problem in a few minutes, by going back to real basics. The response is nearly always, "Where the hell were you when I was a school?!" or "Why don't they tell us that at school?!" There is no room for bullshit in my world, if I know something about a subject I make sure I REALLY know it from as many angles a possible, and I will put great effort in to truly empathise with the 'pupil' and convey that understanding both in technical/fundamental detail and in practical use. As others have said, "If you cannot convey and explain something well in easily understood detail, then you don't really understand it". I will throw out any long held beliefs for something that either better replaces it or clarifies a deeper understanding of it. It is THE tenet I live by. I might fail occasionally, but by God it'll know its been in a proper fight if I take it on. And I'm always up for a re-match.
      Good luck in your future endeavors. It is unlikely that any will praise you much even if you rise above the masses or achieve your enlightenment and potential, most wont appreciate it even if you do, you will just have to do whatever it is you do for your own satisfaction. I think if the world you are in doesn't throw you a challenge worthy of your efforts and abilities, find another or construct a goal of your own.
      That's life.
      For what its worth, I wish you well.

      @@theCodyReeder Sorry about the length of this, but.
      re Scott Dangers request: Your answer/tag-question to him is reason enough for you to suspect that it is not enough.
      No, its not enough. For all the wonderful and interesting content you provide, the problem seems to be you are so adept and comfortable with the equations (and in that you are not the norm). Your adeptness blinds you to the fact that most of your viewers are probably not adept at all with equations, regardless of the level of their own practicality.
      Although sometimes its enough, to say the equation not everybody gets it just from the equation alone due to unfamiliarity with 'equations'.
      You seem to forget that for most people the 'equation' may as well be Greek; partly this is due to poor education, and sometimes it is the difficulty of 'seeing' what is happening in the equation. It is akin to dyslexia, in that looking at an equation and 'translating' it into what it means in real terms often it just come across as viewing a lot of impenetrable jargon if the viewer has not been properly introduced to the fundamentals. 'Officially' at least 10% of the populace has some form of 'dyslexic' issue.
      I had similar trouble with the 'algebra' of maths equations, until someone (a college technician) eventually did a proper line by line breakdown, instead of the previous and usual 'do it yourself' dismissive attitude; then it was like a light-bulb turning on and I could see the steps that previously it was assumed I knew how to do but could not up to that point make the mental jump. It only took him 10-15 minutes but I learned more then than in 20-years of maths 'formal education'. I still have to 're-invent the wheel' at times. As I go through it step-by-step, I often hear pupils say, 'Why doesn't/didn't anyone else tell us that? Now I get it!' As a dyslexic it will never become second nature to me but I can at least fight it to a standstill now that I know the idea behind it. It might seem trivial to you when you know how the trick is done and it becomes virtually sub-conscious to you, but please don't forget to at least occasionally do a complete breakdown of steps and why each step works the way it does. You are unintentionally alienating a lot of people by not including these things. I teach practical electronics and I still sometimes forget that even the simplest of schematic means nothing to the pupils unless I explain it and each symbol in it in practical terms of flow/charge/resistance etc; otherwise to them it is just hieroglyphics. (And by 'pupils' I do not just mean school kids, I have several pupils who are retirees). Anyway please keep up the good work, I enjoy the posts and appreciate them immensely, I have learned so much from your experiments and am inspired by your attitude. Thanks very much.
      Finally I re-iterate; no, its not enough, the background is essential. Its not meant as an insult, its well meant feedback. thanks.

There is NOTHING on any of his posts that I can't find more dangerous and clearer 'how-to' instructions elsewhere, yet THEY don't get 'strikes' and blocks. WTF is going on?
      I see really detailed stuff (for some reason they keep popping up in 'suggested for you') on gun-barrel making, poisons, explosives, knives, swords, cross-bows, hunting bears with a spear, etc; not even an 'age' warning on them. Cody only has to suggest he peed in a bucket and, WALLOP!

    Cody can you test does stainless steel used at hydrogen generator produce toxick cromium (VI)

    • @SamuelLegoMovies
      @SamuelLegoMovies Před 6 lety +2

      No, it doesn't. I know this from personal experience. You would require a much stronger oxidative power to convert chromium metal in stainless steel straight from oxidation state 0 to oxidation state 6 to make any chromium(VI). Good question though!

    • @carolynmmitchell2240
      @carolynmmitchell2240 Před 6 lety

      SamuelLegoMovies there is much conflicting information on that, I heard cheaper stainless will do it.

    • @SamuelLegoMovies
      @SamuelLegoMovies Před 6 lety

      Well the stainless steel I used didn't have any problems in my hydrogen-oxygen generator. At high voltage and prolonged useage the sodium hydroxide solution which I was electrolysing did change colours a little, but this purple colour quickly faded when the power was cut. Me and my chemistry teacher have put this down to the small amount of manganese in stainless steel.
      If the solution you use has chloride contaminants (this happened to me when using potassium chloride contaminated potassium hydroxide I had made) then this can cause the iron and chromium to be corroded and produce green and red solids, although from others I have spoke to this is most likely just iron(III) oxide and chromium(III) oxide.
      I could be wrong, but like I said, personal experience has said otherwise.
      If you actually wanted to make chromium(VI) compounds then there are much better ways of going about it.

Nitro glycerine for instance, easy to make, not safe to store, can't just keep setting it off in small bangs; safe way to dispose of it is to dissolve it in alcohol then degrade it with caustic soda solution. It would be nice to see Cody do that sometime with that and other problem materials. Maybe then he wouldn't get so many strikes.
