Using AI to undress pictures of minors should land you in prison and on the registry. I’m so serious.
it does in canada. digitally altered images or even had drawn art involving pornographic images of minors are just as illegal as legit CP. I would rather see them put more effort into shutting down creation and distribution instead of wasting time going after possession, but either way it is a step in the right direction
It does as it’s still classified under CP laws. “Depicting minors”.
Luckily, it does. It's just getting caught and actually prosecuted that is the bigger issue.
It does supreme court ruled a long time ago that anything that depicts minors in a sexual manor even if its photoshopped is CP
Phil: "cause I take like a meth addict sometimes!"
Me *suddenly flashing back to college in West PA when my friends were complaining Phil talks too fast, and me being from NY didn't get it, then remembered they say the same about me.*
Former building permit tech here! Home builders are NOT on your side. Good, thorough, inspectors are your friends. Builders absolutely will cut any corner they think they can get away with. Utah laws were updated in 2023 so that while insulation is required, cities cannot demand an insulation inspection. I’m 10000% confident this means builders will skip as much insulation as they think they can get away with. I’ve seen builders do all sorts of shady things. Support your city building inspectors!
16:53 Yes you understand who Her voters are. Then understand these voters would not vote for republican in the main election anyway. They were just there to try to prevent Trump from being person Biden has to face.
I am shocked 😐
We need better building inspectors here. Ours are all private and usually work closely with builders and real estate agents. I was a roofer and the stuff I saw them pass for both new construction and resale homes was jaw dropping. I was regularly replacing leaking roofs on houses that the new owners were told still had 10-15 years left on the roof. On new construction, I rarely ever saw an inspector on site. They’d sign off without even inspecting many of the stages of construction.
Also, people just don't know how much difference some of these more environmentally friendly solutions are in states that have a large difference between summer and winter! Till now, we have only re-insulated a couple if rooms and changed out a few windows, and it maked a HUGE difference in comfort level. And just the fact that I have not experienced an electricity shut-down or water pipe malfunctuons in over 15 years is great! We have a wooden stove, just for emergency cases, and also a gas grill, but we use all-electric appliance, and have a great climate inside our home.
With the energy we're saving by just installing new windows, they arr psying for our electric car (used nearly every day) - it uses less energy to charge than we save by redusing heating and cooling our house.
And that's why in the UK I bought an older house that needed work and got to work myself!
I even dropped ceiling to install extra PIR board as I found missing bits.
My husband introduced me to this show 11.5 years ago, so I asked how long he's been watching. After a quick dive into where he was when he started listening, he realized it's been *15 years*. We even went to DeFranco does Vancouver together ten years ago - almost to the day!! March 3rd-ish of 2014. Thanks for being a constant source of news and entertainment for the last decade+
If he can remember the word Megan Fox coming out of Phil's mouth, I'd imagine Phil is more embarrassed than happy to hear that.
Feel like we watch Phil baby to toddler to child.
@@SophiaAstatine*MEGAN FOX WATCH*
Has he deleted old videos? I wanted to see how far back I recognized them but it seems like they’re gone
I've been listening since 2006 or 2007 (a specific school year). Can't believe its been almost 20 years.
Having just completed an engineering degree in sustainable energy, I'm reminded of a lecture where we learned about how much had already been achieved by building codes in Denmark (where I live and studied). These building codes are doing a lot of the heavy lifting in fighting climate change. And now I actually live in a newly build apartment complex outside Copenhagen and it's both cheap and very energy efficient, because our builders have learned to live up to these codes they can do it cheaply (it's also about experience).
WB doubling down on their failures has real "no, it's the children who are wrong" energy
No joke, like look, live services are fun, they print cash.
But let's be real no body bought Skyrim 7+ times because it was a live service, like, make a good game and people will buy it!
@@StarPichu12 Its about the quality of the game and how it makes you feel not live service or anything else. Valheim, Path of Exile, Helldivers 2,... these games create a sense of community and/or a feeling you don't get from just grinding. They are live service but they make you feel like the time is worth while. You play them because the game is fun in and of itself while many games feel just like another job with graphics and a controller.
@@whitelabrat Yes but they're not going to put in the effort those games did, they're doing it for cash grabs not for quality.
@@StarPichu12They look at the sales of Harry Potter and wonder: “what if all those people who bought it gave us money forever instead of once? Genius!”
@@Jon-eo1lz As they always do and completely miss the point XD
I don't know why home builders are concerned about people not being able to afford homes. We already can't afford them.
Ha that’s what I said
Philip DeFranco inspires me... My parents said if I get 100k foIIowers, they'd buy me a professionaI camera for recording... pretty please...
You've got the client wrong though. The clients are large corporations that hold property for rent. They're interested in housing as a commodity, not as livable space.
@@fantaguyrealbot, keep spamming
When I found out that Rooster Teeth was shutting down I was devastated. I grew up with RT as my go to for video game content online. From shows, to gameplay, and much more. To see it grow from such a small niche thing on the internet to a thriving juggernaut in the media was like watching the hero win at the end of the movie. Now it’s gone. What’s happened to the years.
@MrBookPodcast It finally caught up with them for making that trash cartoon RWBY 😎
A niche, but serious, AI book issue is with foraging/wild food books. As someone that teaches this, we've noticed an increase in AI generated books, which can easily give incorrect information on plants/fungi, that at its worst could cause death if people consume something poisonous on their advice. It poses a risk to new hobbiests that dont know enough yet to spot the misinformation
That’s going to be extremely fun as a future lawsuit though. Selling AI generated slop that is falsely marketed and kills people should do the trick. And they can’t exactly argue about diligence since the books look too convincing. There has to be market protections against this and the slanderous fraud.
The other will be the fact none of those ai generated books are protected by copyright, so they can be endlessly distributed in any fashion without violating anything. And the people who generated the slop can’t do a thing about it.
AI needs to be shut down yesterday.
@@ByTheStorm It has already happened that a client of Air Canada won a lawsuit against the company's shitass AI that presented different prices and a completely made up discount. So I'm waiting to see this hyped up worthless crap crumble in the near future, exactly as other worthless crap like NFTs and crypto did lol
@@DeadKraken I thought that was utterly hilarious. Like they could’ve easily programmed it to act within the barriers of their actual policy. But whatever.
It just shows their laziness.
It honestly tempts me to learn programming and create an ai model that puts management and ceos out on the streets.
The funniest thing is watching AI bros whine about their prompts being “stolen” by others like how NFT bros whined about people being able to take NFTs with a simple save as.
Using any AI for anything crucial or for business doesn’t seem to be a great idea in general since it just creates more liability and legal issues for the people using it.
Probably why I won’t buy any of my books from Amazon any longer. Unless it’s a direct link from a publisher, they can’t be trusted. And honestly? They deserve blowback for aiding in slander and identity theft.
As a Haitian American and a long-time listener. Thank you so much for covering the crisis in Haiti. My family back home has been kicked out of their homes with nothing but the clothes on their backs. There are no grocery stores open, and everyone is starving. It's literally equivalent to living in a war zone. My father is currently over there since his retirement, and he's now stuck over there due to the airports being closed. It's madness!
Thoughts and prayers for you and your family. I'm sorry I am unable to provide anything more comforting or helpful.
@@ObiwanNekody you're providing plenty. Thoughts and prayers are needed and appreciated. Thank you
I know that migrants are a hot topic in the culture war, but I am glad that you're here and I genuinely hope your father can return safely and that you and your family can thrive.
I hope your family stays safe. I'm sorry they have to suffer because some humans have such little regard for others and that political stability in Haiti has never had the chance to flourish. From being a slave colony of France to the earthquake, Haiti has truly been ignored by the world.
Maybe go back home and help your family
I know it's a meme, but it's crazy to me how scientists and experts can say things like "we need to move to renewable energy" and "if we don't change how our society functions we won't survive on this planet as a species" and on the other side we have "big line must go up folks" who just simply don't give a shit. Absolutely wild.

And then soon they'll end up finding themselves in the finding out stage when wealth means NOTHING when the planet's a barren lifeless wasteland
Welcome to late stage capitalism. (Inb4 CZcams deletes this comment.)

Phil, as a first generation Haitian-American, thank you for covering this story. We still have family in the country. We been filing paperwork through a US program to get the rest of them out of this mess. Because of this de facto dictator, it’s been really hard to hear about the absolute chaos and anarchy happening in Haiti.
We’ve been terrified that with all the kidnappings, the gangs running around, the massive government corruption with all these power hungry and greedy politicians, the people there will not get the help they need or be able to rebuild (let alone visit) the country. It’s really bad.
My family here has been mainly getting information on CZcams because there’s barely any news coverage on any US news outlets about it. So truly, thank you for covering this and bringing awareness.
-from someone who’s been watching your channel for about 14 years now
good luck to you
Wishing you and tmyour family all the best!💯❤✌
Wishing all the best for you and your family ❤
I hope y'all are alright! ❤
I have a 30 year old house that had aluminum windows throughout. The insulation was super horrible and when it started getting cold out the power bill jumped up to nearly 350 dollars. I switched to new energy efficient windows in November and I haven't had a bill over 280 since then. It's honestly so nice. I wish it were more affordable for the every day family, but I can attest to how great making those changes can be to your quality of life and your wallet in the long term.
How much did they cost, though? That's ~$70/mo, or ~$850/yr, how much did it cost. Because online estimates estimate like 10-20k, it's not really worth it unless you're sure you're staying there. And if you have old shit windows like I do, I also have old walls with no insultation, etc., makes it really hard to justify.
Absolutely infuriating that corporate lobbyists are ONCE AGAIN sticking their dirty little fingers between what we need as humans and citizens, and their profits.
From a tenant in a 70 year old house with an air conditioner unit that breaks every summer while the interior temp tries to stay below 79, and a heater that breaks every winter as it tries to keep the interior temp above 60.... fuck deregulation.
I've told my landlord multiple times a year for at least 3 years to update the insulation and windows of this house, and they just won't.
Is there any sort of tenants group board, etc, where you are? Maybe you can make a complaint to them. Or see if there are other tenants with this landlord and you can start pressing them together.
My mother in law had a tap issue the building maintenance and management wouldn’t fix and ended up contacting the owner’s son directly (the owner is like 90). They did illegally enter the apartment when she wasn’t there that evening, and didn’t totally fix the issue. But it’s no longer pouring water
What’s even more infuriating is that re-insulating the house would probably cost the landlord LESS than replacing/fixing the heater and AC every year! Landlords are some of the laziest people ever.
It's their property not yours. If you want to control what they do buy your own.
@@flakgun153the health of the planet should outweigh the rights of private ownership, actually.
@@flakgun153 Wow, very original take.
I remember how 10 years ago when a someone's nudes would get leaked online, people would just say, "If you don't want it to be leaked, just don't take the pictures in the first place." It was already a dumb response back then but now it's not even an option. You can just have sexual explicit deepfakes posted online without your knowledge or consent and there are hardly any legal remedies to resolve the problem.

It’s sad to see RT being shut down, I remember watching old Red Vs Blue episodes in school when you had to go around the schools website blockers, then when I got older and a job buying a ticket to my first convention RTX, I watched the podcasts and CZcams videos everyday to every week, I even had fantasies of working for them for years but sadly everything is not meant to last forever, hopefully everyone that worked for RT will land on their feet, good night Rooster Teeth we (your fans) will always remember you and your contributions to the Internet
There are tweets from people who work on projects at Rooster Teeth saying they only found out they're unemployed was from headlines on Twitter. They didn't even bother to warn them.
RTs upper management knew, they released an internal memo at the exact same time as the announcement. WB and RT at fault here.
Thank goodness for Twitter.
It’s the same as what happened when the company that owned Smosh closed, all the employees found out from Twitter
Those were they contractors and VAs hired for each individual projects. Many employees confirmed that all employees were informed through an internal memo and an all hands meeting that happened pretty much at the same time as the announcement in the media
I really can't imagine living life while being as morally bankrupt as these corporate lobbyists. Like, money is one thing, but how do you look at yourself in the mirror knowing that you've made the world materially worse and that future generations will despise you? Monetary lobbying should be outlawed and most of the lobbyists working for the big corporations should be in prison. It's disgusting.
They surround themselves with people who agree with them so they never feel like they are doing anything bad.
Now imagine AIPAC, they are bankrolling attack ads that don't mention Israel, like against that one democrat who apparently said something negative about Netanyahu _in private_ and now AIPAC is doing ads about a DUI he had years ago and funding his opponents to the tune of millions.
Monetary lobbying gotta be up there with commercials for prescription drugs 😒
AIPAC is doing attack ads on politicians that have said negative things about Netanyahu _in private_.
AIPAC..
phil just started watching you again recently, i was obsessed with you from ages like 7-14. Im 26 now. It's nice to see you again, and that you are still the same amazing person.
I live in a newly built 7 year old apartment of 58 sqm (624 sqft). When we had a cold snap of -16C (3F) for a week, my indoor temperature never went below 20C (68F), and that was without having any radiators or other heating sources on in the apartment. I also live right next to a big highway and can barely hear anything from outside when I close the windows. Proper insulation really saves on electricity and sanity!
RIP Rooster Teeth, thank you for making my teen years less lonely 😢
Philip DeFranco inspires me... My parents said if I get 100k foIIowers, they'd buy me a professionaI camera for recording... pretty please...
Honestly real lol. Kinda felt it coming but didn’t expect it this soon. Sad to see them go out with a whimper instead of a bang
I've only ever watched RT animated. I had a friend who watched RT all the time. Then he died in his sleep a few months ago. Now RT is ending. I'm literally watching my world change now my friend is gone. (Along with a lot of other things we enjoyed ending/changing)
Cock Bite would have been awesome
Rooster Teeth was how I cut my teeth on vulgar humor. My mom never let us go trick or treating because it was the "Devil's Holiday" and I went from that sheltered sweet summer child mentality to this.... 😂
WB and the quote on doubling down for live service really really got me. “A live service game where I live and work and continue to comeback too”. It’s called life. My thoughts for a game were should let you relax unwind maybe skip a few days and come back and pick up where ya left off. I don’t need another job.
yeah their target customer is no regular person, I guess nepobabies. but maybe they'll allow to somehow generate an income through the game, then It might become an option.
Lol right? Really should have had somebody parse that comment. It does not make their vision sound attractive at all.
I grew up on the west coast with gas stove and swore by it for a long time, and had it in nearly every house/apartment I have lived in. I moved to Germany a little over a year ago into an apartment that was built ~1930s, having previously lived in a brand new apartment in the US the year prior to moving, as well as a 1940s house some time before that. In terms of appliances now, basically everything is electric, every 4th or 5th car I see is electric, and yet my electric bill here is a fraction of what I had been paying for stateside, and that's probably mostly due to heating and cooling cost reduction.
The quality of insulation in terms of noise and temperature is absolutely wild in terms of efficiency. I used to be able to hear people yelling at each other out their car windows on a road half a block away while my apartment was closed up. Now I don't even hear any of the cars going through the intersection right outside my window in a ground floor apartment. The design is basically that the walls retain the heat/cool, not the air. So far it's been really interesting to experience the difference.
Also, 0.7 speed? 2x or nothing!
0.75x actually means "folks that are practicing english to become fluent" yeah I've been there and I am not quite at 2x but sometimes I can ride on 1.5x 😅
@@yourfavoriteroutesaround1499 Totally understand that, I do run it slower when learning German. Respect for the reminder to keep humble on the speed o7
as an insulation contractor, thanks for mentioning insulation! And remember, proper levels of attic insulation can save you 20-40% on your monthly heating and cooling costs. It's the one thing you can do for your home that LITERALLY PAYS YOU BACK! Plus, the initial investment isn't even as costly as many other energy efficiency upgrades. (looking at you solar 😅🤣, nothing against it, just very costly to get into initially!)
As a former fan of Rooster Teeth, it's sad to see them gone. They helped me on my first deployment to Kuwait from 2004-2005 and had the chance to meet the creators at PAX in 2009 and 2010. I fell off for several reasons, but finally cut them out of my life for the most part after all the controversies they had in the last 5 years or so. It sucks for the staff and such there losing their jobs, but for a while, it felt like they had lost their way.
They did Joel dirty and they completely threw Vic Mignogna under the bus. I haven't payed much attention to them in the last decade or so. The people who built the company sold it out and left. It's just another corporation now.
I watched rvb and that's about it, I had never heard of them until 2020 and haven't ever really been into video games so I didn't know the halo story until my now 16yo explained it. They should have done more halo series.
Were you in Kuwait in September of 2005? I spent a month in kuwait on vehicle cleaning detail omw back from Iraq.
I loved rooster teeth when it started with all those comedy 10 min shows, they where some of the dest shorts ever put in film.
@Me04120 Joel was the funniest one too 😢 he was just ridiculously funny 😁 love RT Shorts
Cannot wrap my head around the lobbying and the builders association. Its so dumb. A business I worked for in Ireland got a €10,000 grant to install solar panels on their roof. Meaning that we powered everything in the business on the solar energy. They also had an electric car charger installed outside; so my boss would charge his electric car all day and he wouldn't have to charge it again for days and (on the rare occassion) any excess solar power was stored, it was actually sent to the mains where the business would make a small amount of money back by giving energy to the public system. And this is IRELAND!! Where it rains pretty much EVERY DAY. I've been pestering my Dad to put solar panels on our shed!
Easy. Stop using logic and reason. It's all profiteering. America is completely captured via lobbying and wealth disparity - by massive corporations who have complete control and power basically. There's no other 'reason'
As someone in the games industry; it's not just live service that game company/publishers/investors are vying for, It's "expandable" games too. I can understand why, I've personally helped launch over 80 indie games and if it's a single player, complete experience game, people are quick to say "dead game" or expect that there will be DLC or extra content which, unfortunately, isn't always the case for indies. It would need to reach heights of Cult of the Lamb, Dave the Diver, or Dredge (for recent examples) in order to even financially consider the extra dev time invested to create the extra expanded content.
It's also saddening as there's tons of layoffs in the games industry and a lot of the roles getting laid off are key for these things that execs want to achieve.
What I never understood about live service is that at some point( if they achieve their goal) you will play 1 or 2 games period.
Yes you may buy skins or dlc, but there are only so many gamers.
So at some point no one would buy other games or just get burned out.
I dunno just a thought.
My childhood pastor is in Haiti. They were told to leave on Monday but he thought it would be fine, because where he was seemed like things weren’t so bad. Now he is stuck there, and they don’t know when he will get out. He isn’t just a tourist there either he teaches at a school there at least twice a year for like 15 years, so it just shows how fast things went down hill.
Building codes 100% need to be updated. Not only for energy efficiency but also for structure. I have moved 3 times in the last 5 years, each to a different state. As a renter, these new buildings are being built quickly but are very pore construction. One place I lived was panama City beach, which was destroyed by Hurricane Michael. 5 years later, they have rebuilt with cheap structures selling for a small fortune. This year, we had a tornado, and it destroyed almost all the homes in its path. There was some debate how this tornado shouldn't have caused as much destruction. It just shows how the market is building cheap and trying to cash in where they can.

Hearing RT was getting shuttered felt like hearing someone you used to be close with died. I grew up watching them from a way younger age than I should’ve and I hope their old stuff doesn’t get deleted. Every year I always go back and watch through old let’s plays, podcasts and animations. I still remember the first MC video like yesterday.
I started with halo reach fails of the week. I remember the early days of the drunk Tank podcast before it became rooster teeth podcast. I stopped watching the new stuff a few years ago, but I still go back and rewatch red versus blue pretty often.
"Russia Today"?
Get the Machinima treatment 😆
Red vs Blue...
@@KevinUchihaOG Rooster Teeth, duh.
I live in North Carolina. knowing several people building homes, they all say "make sure you get a good builder", because they all take advantage. builders saying their customers can't afford houses with updated code is an insulting logical fallacy to shift blame from the market's cost of doing business to bureaucratic red tape since that's the real burden of profit.
legislate stricter code, you'll just shift the corruption from the builder to the inspection industry (as if they're not ridiculous already)
this nonsense is the reason why shoddy infrastructure builds from 50yrs ago are a burden today. profit and cost determining the "right choice" and we're acting surprised.
I started watching RvB 19 years ago. I watched RT flourish. It's been a journey. They have provided endless entertainment, a lot of laughs, a few tears. Some of the hardest laughs from me have been caused by them. They had a hell of a run, and I'm sad to see them go. I hope for nothing but the best for everyone, from on-screen cast to the crews behind the scenes. A phenomenal, hardworking, talented group of people all around.
As an architect student, the segment on the new building code drama is the exact issue that we are dealing with. Local politics and lobbyist only after their own self interests not only prevent any new housing being made in certain areas, but what is build are usually for-profit “luxury” housing by real estate companies that are more interested in milking money out of people than addressing the housing crisis. And blocking updates to the building code doesn’t just effect residential, but it commercial and infrastructure as well.
The lack of affordable housing, the over saturation of for-profit real estate, car-dependent infrastructure, the inefficiency or lack of public transportation, the missing greenspace in urban areas, and the ever decreasing amount of 3rd places all stem from what is or isn’t allowed to be built, all decided on people who don’t what to loose property value in the short term than overall area growth in the longterm.
Making ads going "You can violate women easily!" is fucking deranged. The fact that people even want to do that is one thing, but these companies KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING! It's what they are made for. It's what they advertise.
Philip DeFranco inspires me... My parents said if I get 100k foIIowers, they'd buy me a professionaI camera for recording... pretty please...
Yeah. It’s super gross. It’s an another layer of messed up that they did it as a photo of a minor too. This sounds like they went, hey you know who uses Facebook a lot? P3d0s.
Yeah also add 16 year too they’re allowing to kids as if the adult being affected wasn’t bad enough also women are more affected than men are adding misogyny and sexism into it
unfortunately, these are the same types of companies that run scams and that operate literal call centers where you can call to get customer service if you bought a stolen credit card and the card is no longer working. (it's been a thing for a while and they are in jurisdictions where prosecutors don't care so getting the law to stop them is laughably ineffective)
The fact it got to the point of users being able to download and use something like this vs it getting scrapped immediately at brainstorm and whoevers mouth came from being fired is much worse than simply advertising it imo
This garbage should not exist, period, the people funding it are pure poison
I've been watching Philly D since he was in college; I'm guessing around 14 years ago. I often wondered if he would change his stance on politics, abortion and other tough topics as he had gotten married and had children of his own. I don't agree with Phil on some issues, but I watch him every day at lunch. He keeps this 55+ yr old man up to date with the young conversation. Keep rockin' Phil!
I was and still am a huge fan of rooster teeth. They’ve had their ups and downs over the years, and that’s a bit of an understatement. I started my channel, this channel I’m commenting from, as a resume builder to hopefully get a job with Rooster Teeth. I never quite made it but the dream was always there. My channel grew to be more than just a resume and after the pandemic its become more of a fond memory, but the dream was always there. I hope the people of RT are well in their next endeavors.
I spent over a decade watching "Roosterteeth", "Achievement Hunter" and "Let's Play" content, enjoying their podcasts and mostly enjoying all of their Let's Plays (though the GTA4-5 and Minecraft ones were my favorites). I am coming to terms with the fact a large part of my early teens to early 20s is now officially over.

I love how people are expecting Amazon to fix the problem of AI copycat books flooding their website... when Amazon itself invites small sellers into it's marketplace, watches to see what sells good, and then makes their own cheaper version of that product to undercut the small seller and steal their business.
That's some rich irony right there.
So you're saying amazon will make their own AI books? I knew they were up to something.
Amazon did nothing to the poor quality, ghost author, books when they were coming in at a manageable amount. They won’t do anything now…
Kinda different for books. Amazon isn't out to make their own ai books
Except Amazon does care about this and other kinds of fraud, but they don't have a system to really check for this yet.
@@auberginebear Why would Amazon try to stop it if they get a cut of every sale?
It's a disastrous feeling to see RoosterTeeth shutting down after it has been a mainstay in my life for well over a decade, personally. Watching their main shows and Achievement Hunter helped me through undergrad and grad school. My wife and I bonded over their shows like RWBY. For our wedding, she walked down the aisle to the sweetest of songs from the show, "Home". Like others have said, I hope the archive stays available, so many memories.
Also, my heart goes out to all the creators and support staff that lost their jobs in the shuttering. They helped make a wonderful community.
You said "fan of 12 years," and I'm like: damn, that's a fan! Then I started thinking and I have been with you for 11 years! I just wanted to say that I appreciate you for keeping me Phil'ed in!!! Can't believe it's been that long already
I'm a self-published author on Amazon and they have now started asking us to disclose if anything we're publishing is either AI-generated or AI-assisted (as in, did we brainstorm ideas with AI, use AI to edit the cover art, things like that). So, while Amazon isn't restricting AI content, the disclosures are now baked into the publishing process (that's not to say that people couldn't just lie and say "no, this wasn't generated by AI," BUT I would hope that there are harsher repercussions for anyone who uses AI and then lies about it).
Seems really unnecessary. I don't have to disclose what type of pen I used. AI is a tool not a cheat code. And it takes work to find time and edit what AI creates. Seems like Amazon is just trying to win over a fruitless argument about AI that's as fake as Monster Energy being Satanic. AI is not a threat or a reason to say "this art is less than". Really just proves the belief that artist are shallow elitist who gatekeep. Because AI allows anyone to create immediately. I'd rather have that than soulless graphic designers making millions while genuine artists with creative idea sget swept under the rug because they didn't make the art for a company or for thousands of dollars. The art world is the most radical of spectrums and the more you go up the.korw it's filled with soulless art made for embezzlers. Let people use AI .
@ZDPQC well, part of the problem is that some people are generating books through AI, and *not* editing them.
Or as Phil mentioned in this video, using AI to pass off books as written by successful authors, impacting their reputation.
I did a bunch of research into building out a van for mobile living. The first thing I discovered was how incredibly inefficient and wasteful household appliances and infrastructure are. Fridges are commonly built with the compressors on the BOTTOM (hot air rises) and not enough insulation. Buildings aren't insulated enough in general, leading to noise pollution, no noise privacy, and more expensive heat/cooling costs. Faucets and shower heads use multiple gallons of water PER MINUTE as the default fittings rather than cheap water-conserving alternatives using less than 1 gallon per minute.
Until laws force builders to stop using cheap crap to build and design our homes, things will remain the same or even get worse.
Quality has been sacraficed for efficiency. Quick turnaround times affect the money coming in. I stumbled on a similar complaint regarding brick layers and the homes that used to be built. Some of these older brick house still stand today whereas modern brick houses are unlikely to survive the same tests of time
What’s better options than a fridge then?
so which one is better to live in?
Everything you said sounds great until you actually consider safety.
A fridge with the compressor on top would be extremely top heavy. Can't imagine how many children would get crushed just because they accidentally ran into the fridge.
Homes in the US are built to very strict codes. You don't pack the walls with as much insulation as possible because it's extremely flammable.
Your van sounds nice and all, but most of us are living in the real world.
Well, simply spend the extra money/time and effort to shop for that efficiently constructed home then, if you want it you'll pay for it,and you wont settle for less. If enough people agree with you then the industry will follow what the market demands. The problem is that people(generally) can barely afford the cheaply built (and often inefficient) homes, much less spend time and money worrying about how efficient the home might be.
My dad was a developer in the early 2000s. They build crazy energy efficient homes but couldn't stay in that industry because they were out-competed by cheaper builds. We've had the tech and know-how this entire time but companies are so worried about profit margins next quarter that they don't care about sustainability.
I mean for pete's sake we make roof shingles out of petroleum by-products then wonder why roofs are melting. It is so obvious that things built to last are better for the environment, but companies refuse to do it. It's a problem in every industry. Planned obsolesce contributes to an enormous amount of trash every year. We could fix this tomorrow, but because companies would throw a hissy fit, politicians refuse to regulate them.
You being self aware of your talk speed cracked me up! I’m used to it but when I make my mom listen to your videos while driving we listen at .75 speed!!! 🤣
Im a french architect , we have very strict (and complex) building codes especially when it comes to environmental regulations . For instance , based on the 2020 Environmental Regulation , the « lifetime(40 years) primary energy consumption net impact on climate change » for a house is capped at 160 kgCO2/m2 and for collective housing it is 560 kgCO2/m2 for a building built in 2024 but 260kgCO2/m2 if its built after 2028 . That’s the type of regulation that we need in order to make a difference and even that feels too little .
So hearing that the american lobbies are blocking a mere 10% improvement in energy efficiency in the second most polluting country in the world is so fucking grim I can’t even put it into words .
The more I hear this kind of news the more I become tempted by radicalization .
You and every other American. We gate how openly corrupt our government is, too.
No were being brainwashed.... more CO2 means more trees, more trees, means more oxygen.... this is all just a big scam working us towards a breathing tax....
Have you watched Chris Packham's documentary Is It Time To Break The Law? It's very thought provoking.
I’m part of a climate advocacy group, efficiency-based housing codes are something we’ve worked on in the past. A few years ago my town implemented a Green Development Standard that focused on things like heat retention and efficient use of water gas and electricity, as well as the construction process.
We’ve butted heads with developers over a few different issues including this one, and I just gotta say it’s incredibly frustrating to be lectured on housing affordability by the same people who love building large single-family detached homes, who oppose mixed use zoning, and who have done campaigns to try to fear-monger about high-density housing (an actual thing that happened in my town).
We also had developers threatening to sue the town for supposedly overstepping its authority, though luckily it’s been 4 years and that hasn’t happened.
In terms of the actual policy, our town used 4 tiers of efficiency; a baseline tier that became mandatory when the code passed, and 3 successive tiers which provide incentives to developers who achieve the requirements. Over the course of 20 years those higher tiers will become the mandatory baseline, which is meant to reward ambitious and climate-conscious developers while allowing other developers more time to get used to efficiency best practices. In my opinion it’s quite reasonable and favourable for developers, especially considering the consequences of building homes that 1) aren’t resilient against the impacts of climate change, and 2) don’t mitigate the severity of climate change. But I guess those consequences would only be felt by the homeowner, not the homebuilder.
I'm a tax accountant, and I just read an article about several online tax prep services using AI instead of real people to answer questions. AND MOST OF THE TIME THE ANSWERS ARE INCORRECT. Be careful this tax season.
My home was built in 1984, and I put solar panels on the roof. Took my electric bill from over $200 to under $40. When my Ac unit died I bought a more efficient one. It doesn't take new construction, it's actually more important to do things like help home owners replace their super old windows (my next purchase for my home), update insulation, etc.
Yea but that'll never happen. Want to update your shit? Pay out the ass. That's the motto here in California. No updating affordably. "But they have programs to help" - yeah, but they set income caps and it's extremely high CoL so anybody making these changes is making more than the cap. Just posturing. The CO2 emissions are coming from shit houses like mine with 0 insulation. They're not coming from year old houses that aren't top tier efficiency.
But, it's a big country. If you don't like your situation, there's 50 other states. Definitely look for other places to live California, that place sucks.in every way other than the weather. @@MrSlowestD16
My parents built our house in the 90s. My dad didn't want to pay more for electricity than he had to. The insulation is so thick that we don't have air conditioning (we do live in Canada, but it can get fairly hot in the summer), and heating isn't desperately needed until -10°C (14°F). Highly recommend thicker walls and higher insulation
1000%. I had some friends house sit for me while I was away and they told me, in the middle of a heatwave, that they didn't need to turn on the Aircon because of how insulated the house is.
In all seriousness any tips on how to insulate the home like your dad did? It be nice to not rely so much on mechanical heating/cooling, especially as the weather continues to become more extreme.
@donutchan8114 Honestly, I know we've got 10 inch thick walls and double insulation, but my parents built the house before I was born, and I'd assume that insulation has changed a bit from the late 80s early 90s. Dad passed 5 years ago or I'd ask him for tips, sorry
I’m in IL and got solar panels installed on my roof a couple years ago. Our electric bill has gone down dramatically, and we didn’t even have to pay anything to get them installed.
Have they paid for themselves, yet?
I'm glad you're bringing attention to the AI book problem Phil, because it's been happening for awhile and not just to authors. Some of the CZcamsrs I watch that have a younger audience or are considered younger audience friendly have been complaining and warning their audience about these garbage AI books that say they're the authors but aren't for awhile now. So while it's nice to see attention brought to matter, I also am not hopeful anything will be done about it soon, because there's really no incentive for Amazon to fix this mistake because they get such a huge cut from book sales. Also as AI tech gets better these books will only become more convincing.
THANK YOU Sooooooo much for adding closed captions!!!❤❤❤
Yo! I actually work as an energy inspector for residential homes here in Las Vegas. The builders are absolutely lying when it comes to costs when it comes to getting the homes more energy efficient. Often times when I am failing a home from the inspection it’s due to failures on the builders part to pay more attention to the construction and the trades who work there. Simple things like sealing drywall to top plates actually goes a long way to energy efficiency. For example my friend whose home is has I personally inspected has the same power bill as my rental even though his house is twice as large as my rental. Even if the homes cost more which they wouldn’t, homeowners will definitely make that money back on their power bill in a year.
Top plate should be getting caulked and usually vapor barrier, yes the drywall should be installed properly but it doesn't fix much if other steps are done well.
@@nimrodery yeah theres a lot to it. But in the event of convincing Superintendents to do extra leg work to bring them to minimum energy standards sealing top plates is the easiest way to get through to them. I’ve pointed out 1000’s of missing air barriers and unless they’re a problem neighborhood they won’t change by the time final shows up. It’s always “oh cool we’ll do it on the next house” . It isn’t until they’re one day away from handing off keys they really learn how easy it could’ve been to just watch their dry wallers.
@@garaa9222 Drywall isn't a trade, the price is constantly being driven down because most builders think a monkey could do it and pay accordingly. There's some well paid drywallers, they don't work at mega-developments doing spec homes. The work you saw is people trying to get the job done fast enough to stay alive. Caulk the top plate, don't bother the slaves.
I grew up in rural Southern California where power outages are fairly common. We could still cook on a gas stove or take a hot shower with a gas water heater during an outage.
I live in Washington State now and it's all electric and if there's a power outage that's it, your whole world stops.
I'm not saying we shouldn't electrify, but we need to consider things like blackouts, planned or unplanned, when building like that.
As a Swede the US electoral system is such a trip cause I can’t imagine having to choose between only to major political party while I’m already struggling between the 7 we have here. (Not to mention the countless smaller ones including but not limited to the pirate party).
Each election year I’m terrified that one of the smaller parties, even the ones I personally oppose, won’t get enough votes (4%) to qualify for government cause the mere thought of a two party system scares me more than any shitshow our clowns can put on now.

I’m going to university for creative writing in September. I already spent 4 years in art school and the main reason I’m not going to university for art is because of the ai stuff. Now my future as a writer is at risk? Before I was pretty sure I would be able to do well since it’s a pretty straightforward field. It’s hard but it’s more guided. To now worry about having to compete with AI or even just Authors who are going to use ai to get books out quicker- it’s going to change the entire industry
Hey phil, so last vid (or the one before) you mentioned taking hikes and other such things to find fun. I took it to heart and today I took a long hike with me and two long time friends, and you were absolutely right !! It was incredibly fun as well as very emotionally fulfilling, so thanks Phil!!
One of the reasons I got a dog. To have a hiking buddy, and to force myself out of my house other than the required reasons (jobs, errands) It's so therapeutic.
I recently sold a rental property in CA and bought a place in Kansas City this past month. The price difference allowed my wife and I to look for a nicer place and I wanted to buy a high efficiency home as I enjoyed having solar panels on my property in California, which ended up paying for themselves in 6 years. I was sad to see that there was only one company in Kansas City building passive homes, but they only built custom designed homes that were over a million dollars. I found myself stuck buying a poorly built house because we were doing a 1031 exchange for the rental property and we had no time to have a high efficiency home built.
I crunched the numbers for a similar size house to the one we bought and was shocked to see that the extra building costs for a passive home with solar in Missouri would have been 100% recouped in 9 1/2 years! Meaning I'd have more financial stability. Another bonus to the environment is that high efficiency homes last longer as they are built to be air and water tight. Hopefully our next home will be a passive house.
Youd recoup costs in 10 years, but the service life of solar panels and even the average roof is less than that?
Uhh no the average roof should last 20-25 years@@CameronCombustion
@@Gluteus.Maximus depends where you live. In the south like Missouri we use asphalt shingles which last 5-15years depending on the price and quality of the shingles.
@@CameronCombustion Might want to have a talking to with your contractor. even the absolute cheapest asphalt shingles will have a 20 year warranty from the manufacturer and will easily last that long if installed correctly. 50 year shingles exist, and metal roofs last pretty much forever for not so much more money. As for solar panels, the modern ones tend to last longer than they did back in the day, but even if we assume you have 20 year old panels that are expected to produce about 80% of their rating after 25 years, so what? they have long since paid for them selves, and you don't need to replace them. You just have to add a couple more panels to make up the difference.
Long segments have been the best. Thanks Phil & Team 👏
I’ve been watching since the ball cap, brick wall background days and have always wondered what Phil likes to read. Seeing him hold up Grady Hendrix made me so happy. I’m an early career writer, and Phil, if my agent sells the book I just turned in, I’m absolutely going to try and get you and ARC on the long-shot chance you’re looking for a supernatural thriller with Hendrix-style horror. 😅 And agreed-don’t do a club, I’m just stoked to have seen a title you were into after all these years.
I was told by a friend over discord while on lunch at work about RT shutting down - we do RWBY watch parties when it was releasing regularly, and I've been a RT fan for probably over a decade. I remember just going 'well, that makes sense, things have changed and they're just not profitable and all of this makes sense.' I put on my RT jacket to go home as I do every day and when I looked at the logo I, luckily alone in the office at that point, broke down in a mess of tears and sobs. I cried on my way home, cried as I hung up my jacket on the end of my bed next to my wall covered in RT related posters, and then cried as I sat and calmed down.
I think my adult brain rationalized the death of RT, but the teenager in me who only made it through being so depressed and so anxious and so traumatized in life when I was young BECAUSE of RT, came out and decided to grieve for me. I only made it because of the fun and creativity and talent behind RT, the personalities, the energy, the Monty Oum's of the world that all seemed to congregate into a space where you felt like family. I feel awful for everyone who worked day in and day out to bring it from a few guys basement to what it was at its peak. And no RT was not perfect, and none of this takes away from the people who had bad experiences in and with RT, but at the end of the day RT meant something different to everyone.
It meant something to me.
RT and RWBY were what helped me cope with the death of my grandparents and father. You’re not alone in your grief.
👏 👏 👏
You're not alone. While I didn't exactly grow up watching RT and Achievement Hunter, I had been somewhat familiar with RvB, I just never kept up with it. I started watching them in High School. They helped me get through so much, especially on days when I felt alone, with no friends. I found RWBY the same year that Volume 3 came out and I fell in love with it. I binged it so many times, it's ludicrous. I've looked at my RWBY posters, my RWBY merch and my RWBY sweatshirt today and I felt like crying. But I reflectimg now, I feel very lucky that I got to enjoy not just RWBY, but all of the great stuff that RoosterTeeth and Achievement Hunter made. All of the funny videos, skits, video game guides and series... It's heartbreaking
In a way the writing was on the wall. The company as a whole had unfortunately lost its way, they tried to be something that they had no idea how to be...
I've got my fingers crossed that someone comes in to save the animation team, though. I'm in the group thats followed RWBY from day 1 - it'd be a shame to let it go without a proper end. And of course theres the various other titles like Camp Camp that don't deserve to be axed like this... who knows, maybe this may finally be the event that finally gives us a proper Nomad to Nowehere series
What.
Civil engineer from Finland here. I just cannot understand why to lobby AGAINST making houses more energy efficient. Price going up is the good thing. ”Wanna buy a house? It cost this much because we must meet these standards”. MORE MONEY, MORE SAVINGS. Wake up American lobby
Literally this. Not to mention houses are already unaffordable. 20k more isn't going to make it suddenly more unaffordable.,
As someone who's been in the construction at their youth.. It goes a little something like this. When these buildings get erected. They have to wait for inspectors to come and clear everything. That I don't have a problem with. The problem lies with waiting a week to get a job done because the city inspectors are so far behind. So at the bottom of the ladder, I get to stand there with my hand in my toolbelt just waiting for all the new codes to be enforced. Guess what happens when the "plumbers" don't install something correctly, everyone else behind them has to wait even longer for them to come out.

I highly recommend induction cooktops. There is an effect on the air but they are also just nicer to cook on.
I grew up with gas and got glass ceramic when I moved out and for years I missed the gas but since I got the induction I have never missed the gas again.
The induction doesn't heat up your kitchen or your cooking utensils, they don't damage the bottom of cookware and yet they are responsive and fast.
On building codes:
I work with them daily as a project manager/designer in a commercial architecture firm. Kentucky has not updated their codes since 2015 (and at that time adopted 2012 as their newest IBC year) some of the codes around the hospitals we design are still on 2006 codes (with additional references to older codes from the 1980s). Heck we still have codes for certain hospital rooms that require fax lines to equipment that are all Wi-Fi enabled now - we just haven’t updated to a year where Wi-Fi existed yet.
I’ve been to the state capitol to lobby legislators for multiple years in a row to see if they will support updates and it’s a tiresome and fickle process to convince people that newer codes are in general beneficial to those that occupy the spaces we build and renovate. There are many parties fighting architects but our goal is really to protect the health, safety, and welfare of those around us.
I really hope the rumor of Warner Bros being sold next year is true because David Zaslav is an absolute menace. Just canning movies and shows left and right for tax write-offs and selling off parts of the studio for scraps. He has no respect for artists or the work they do.

Well, regarding housing, in my country in Europe, new houses have to be in the A energy class by law. And if the house is older and has a lower class, renovations are partially or sometimes 100% subsidised. So what is going on in America?

As an expert on elections (including education and in practice administration), I'm not sure how much intent or knowledge you used to say ranked ballots would be the solution, but you nailed it! The criticism of ranked is it generally pushes to the centrist, while the benefit is that defense voting is no longer required. You found an example where the main detractor and benefit are actually both the goal.
Slow clap, from a self acknowledged nerd to you.
There is actually a center squeeze effect in rank choice voting in which centrists get eliminated early. There was an early poll in Alaska last time showing that if Al Gross entered the election he would spoiled the election for Lisa Murkowski and helped the MAGA Republican win.
If you must use "rank choice voting" it would be better to use a Condorcet version instead of the "instant runoff" version that FairVote Pushes. It would be better though to just use approval voting to get the top two though because it is simpler.
@@Mutex50 I wrote a long response then deleted it. Long story short, I disagree due to practicality issues but we are in symantics territory when we are both suggesting Condorcet (ranked ballots are, or more accurately can be within that scope) methods.

It was really frustrating a couple years ago when Boulder, CO had that huge fire. All the people who already had homes in Boulder had voted for these large energy efficiency building code packages... But now that they needed to rebuild and were subject to the codes they voted for, suddenly they were a massive imposition and completely unreasonable. It's so frustrating to watch people have conviction until it inconveniences them.
I know I’m usually for these more progressive ideas but I don’t see any way in which this wouldn’t be used to hurt the people rather than the companies. Shelter is a necessity and they know it is. You think they won’t use that leverage against us at every chance they can get? The idea of “paying a little now” is so much easier for a millionaire to say since they don’t have to go their entire life without owning a house. It isn’t a little for us it’s more than we have.
@@Oshawatt I don't disagree with the key element you're getting at, which is it's expensive to be poor. I can't save $60k for a downpayment because I'm spending $24k/year in rent and the cost of housing goes up faster than my paycheck, so I keep throwing away $24k/year instead of building any equity. I think we need to tackle both problems though. Housing availability and affordability alongside making sure they're sustainable. We're one of the wealthiest, most powerful nations to ever exist, the idea that we just can't solve the problem is absurd.
The issue that I had specifically with the Boulder fires, was you had folks who'd been able to buy multi-million dollar properties, had those properties insured, got government assistance to meet the new building codes... And they STILL complained about it. When someone who owns a $5m property complains about an extra $20k for sustainability upgrades that THEY VOTED FOR... The hypocrisy just kills me.

24:00 Newsflash for developers: most of the people under about 30 can’t afford a house as it is.
I would love to put solar panels on my house (it’s a 1920s classic). I can’t get someone to take my call to install them because of this kind of crap.
About the 'greening' of our houses, this isn't just better but an inevitability. As stated on the piece, putting up solar panels might be expensive but on long run it will save you money, specially if you have a large south facing roof and also install a battery bank to store the energy. This could make your energy bill drop down to 0 specially in the summer.
With regard to insulating the house, it also makes sense since this will mean less energy to heat up or cool down the house.
But my biggest point is the induction hobs. I'm a bit of a technocrat, and I was all for the induction hobs, but as I've been renting for the past 18 years, I wasn't going to buy an appliance to furbish a house that isn't mine. Until I moved into the apartment that I'm living now. The electric hob (it's an old hot plate hob) had some damage and I ended up buying a small 2 plate induction hob. Boy is this thing great. It uses very little energy to do the same work.
It's easy to clean as the plate doesn't get hot, so any spill will not be transformed into a crusty lump of black goo on the surface that's impossible to remove without some industrial soap and a lot of scrubbing. This also makes the cleaning of pots and pans a lot easier as all the heat is transferred to whatever you're cooking instead of the metal on the pan.
It's faster than any other appliance since most of the energy is delivered to whatever you're trying to cook, instead of the air.
The only disadvantage is that you'll need specific pots and pans that are induction ready.
Love this channel, the breadth and detail covered by the show is truly top notch
The last story just exacerbates my environment existential dread and depression as someone who is relatively young. In some ways I've come to the conclusion that I'll be lucky to make it even to be middle aged because every single major institution is making decisions to literally light our world on fire for profit.
Especially in China, which is responsible for about 27% of global greenhouse gas emissions. :(
Gas is now WAY more expensive than electric for heating these past couple years. Especially when we have those country wide extreme cold and winter storms like this January. My bill was over 2x normal that month, all due to the gas portion of the bill, because they went into "emergency" pricing. It's absolutely ridiculous because it's a service you HAVE to have to survive. Where I live there's zero choice in who you use and they won't budge an inch when it comes to huge unexpected bills. They won't accept any late payments. It's pay in full the day it's due or it's shut off immediately with a large reconnect fee. There's zero protections in my state as far as heat and electricity, so they have double or triple your bill overnight with no warning then immediately shut it off if you can't pay, even if it's below 0° outside and you have kids in the house. Hell, my cellphone, internet, rent/mortgage, fucking credit card companies aren't as strict and heartless as the electric company here which also does your gas and water, so when it's shut off EVERYTHING is shut off. All those others will work with you, set up payments, and most importantly not immediately shut off service. There's ppl I know who rent and have zero choice in whether they have gas or electric heat who got blindsided by $700+ bills last month when it's usually under $300 for this time a year and have young kids in the house who couldn't pay it all and they immediately shut it off. They shut it off for one guy I knew over being fucking $5 short. Even if you're on oxygen here they'll shut it off and not care.
As an avid reader and someone who has a lot of respect for Kara Swisher, I am so glad she is calling these hacks out. I generally don't buy a book unless it's been recommended to me or I know that the author really wrote the book. They usually do press tours and that's where I get my information from. I tend to read a lot of political books and business books.
My friends and I have always loved watching the show! Now my Mawmaw (grandma) is also addicted and we watch together every opportunity now!
The amount of time I have reported a clearly inappropriate ad on instagram only to see them again days later is laughably bad. They don’t care at the end of the day, they just care about the money they get from people wanting to advertise.
Even if it didn’t make the best decisions ever, it’s still is really depressing to see RT go under like this.
R.I.P. Rooster teeth. Thanks for all the content that brightened our lives.
Philip DeFranco inspires me... My parents said if I get 100k foIIowers, they'd buy me a professionaI camera for recording... pretty please...

@@purplewolfranger22 It’s a bot, my friend. It has no life. Hence why it annoys us to no end.

it feels soo good that adblock is working again
In Anchorage, we have more strictly enforced building codes than the surrounding areas and during the 7.1 earthquake in 2018, it really showed. There were a lot more structures that failed or were condemned immediately after in Eagle River, right next to us where the only real difference was code enforcement. Most homeowners up here don’t have earthquake insurance either. It’s always cheaper in the long run to build better structures up front.
Phil I love you and your daily dives into the news, so so much, it has been how I consume news for years, but I feel like I need to take a break. Hearing the news about the ICC and efficient home building and how the lobbyists have been doing everything in their power to line their pockets while simultaneously fucking over the planet for my generation was one of the most infuriating things I’ve ever listened to. The corruption has run so deep into the system we have right now it feels really hard to be hopeful for the future of my generation, they won’t be seeing the consequences of their actions, I will, and it sucks.
The FBI needs to release their own version of that abhorrent "perky" app, that automatically reports the users when they prompt for anything illegal. Target the predators with their own tools.
Unfortunately most weirdos are utilizing uncensored open sourced models and tools locally on their PC. Tools we don’t need to, nor should we, or can we regulate or censor with legislation or other methods. We can only hit them for distributing such images and unfortunately the current resources are spread thin tracking down those real images of children deeply victimized in the real world. Let’s be honest a current minor or a person photographed while a minor supersedes any and all urgency over a fictional depiction of a current adult. Unfortunately we struggle just to handle the traditional forms of CP, abuse and human trafficking with current resources.
That would be a crazy hard project to achieve. Most people getting arrested would try to claim it was a false flag operation or entrapment. And people would get upset that the government is monitoring their every move on the app
That's called entrapment and it's very illegal.
@@kingofhearts3185 ehhh, write it clearly in the terms and services since practically nobody reads it lol then it's not entrapment, they agreed to it by signing up :)
I love the idea of casually asking some old german man “yo can we study you?”
I missed the 3rd place on yesterdays episode but hearing you talk about it again here made me go back and rewatch that part and oh my was that eye opening. Made me sit back and think about all the stuff i use to do before covid hit and then since then most of my nights after work is me playing a game or watching whatever. which most likely plays into my current mindset of nothing mattering and just going thru each day to get it over with.. Might take you up on the hiking idea and go see the falls
We heard way too many horror stories of new construction builds that we didn't want a new house. Built as cheap as possible. I knew several people who bought new that were in a few short years, dealing with busted water pipes and light fixtures issues. On top of the fact that most come with an HOA and we didn't want any part of that either.
So for the building stuff. I live in PHX AZ and many, many houses get hit by sun almost all day. That means if every house just had solar not only would that help everyone lowering power bills but would help lower emissions like crazy. Also the extra protection of the roof from the sun keeping the house cooler. And say if we get government lowering taxes or something on homes with it as they would be better for the environment would be a help make people want to do it more. Only people that suffer would be who ever owns power companies. I know that's not ideal for them but I could only imagine how cheap power would be here if it was a thing. I wish I could get solar panels on the house I live in but that initial cost of getting them and then making sure the roof can hold it plus probably need to get the house rewired to accommodate the power from the panels, The cost for it is high to make an old house have it even more than having the home built to have it in the first place.
I've been watching your Chanel for way more than 12 years. My first wife hated you. I loved watching your format evolve over the years. You are a good man Phil. Thank you. Here's to 12 more.
No way, Industry Lobbyists working with their own best interest in mind at the cost of literally everyone else???
Who could've seen this coming!
Its in their best interest to do the contrary actually
@@omarcarrero3623 Corporate Entities rarely if ever actually want anything to be built to last because they want people to constantly be paying more.
The lobbyists are fighting to waste energy and build less stable homes because that makes more money for them regardless of how it affects the people they're fucking over
My Mom, every time I hurt or cut myself outside she'd take me for a Tetanus shot.
I got my foot caught in bike spokes and cut it wide open.
She at long last took me to the ER & the Doc was gonna give me Another shot.
"OH! no, not the shot, Again!?" I was 11, and I had just had a Tetanus shot, just a few months earlier.
That prompted them to actually look at my chart & history & started a count,
And by the time I was 11y/o, I had had 12 Tetanus shots...
I did not get the shot that day!!! I didn't get another until I was in my thirties.
I was rescuing my niece's puppy from the neighbor's pitbull & got a bit a little.
On the back, the fatty part of my arm broke the skin, and I didn't take a chance.
I am either fully immune to tetanus or I will die of it when I am 130y/o...
Yeah, please keep track of your kids' shots & don't use them to punish your kids for getting hurt... peace
Your mom sounds terrifying, I'm so sorry. If you are still a kid going thru this, you might start looking for a legal advocate. Just Google pro bono legal advocates in your area. There should be records for your medical history and therefore record of your mother using these shots arguably as a form of abuse.
@@vcheekv that was one of the mildest of childhood traumas. But, my Mom is long gone. We came to terms as I became an adult. We were all good when she passed. thanks.
Hey Phil, I love the new drop with more tie dye, any chance of doing some with more purple stuff?
Been watching you almost daily for prolly 6-7 years now
I'm working on something that touches on energy efficient homes and 70% of aussies who get hypothermia, got it in their house. It's a massive problem here too! The foundations of your home impact your health, your wallet, your family.
