      I was at NordVPN for two 3 year subscriptions!
      It's now bad, more expensive, no more 3 year plan, etc.
      Looks like they fired all good software engineers to pay for ads and influencers to promote their now sh¡tty software!
      Every new version has problems.
      Authentication, reconnect and Kill Switch (!!) problems several times daily!
      Customer service/Help desk must be payed in peanuts, coz all you have now is unhelpful apologizing monkeys 🐒and parrots 🦜
      Terrible.
      I am now at 🏄🦈 and the help desk is 5*.
      RAM use is less, Internet/Download is faster, Kill Switch works all the time!!
      Use *anything* but buggy and slow NordVPN.

      That is the very concept of evolution. Genes that help their genetic carrier to survive and mate stay, genes that stop them from it don't. If something works, it works and will stay in the gene pool, if something doesn't work, it ends up becoming dinner for something else. Give that concept enough generations and it will give you some pretty freaky stuff that works

    The hairy frog one was freaky, but then I realized that exact thing exists in the game "Dead Island"; an enemy not only breaks his arms to reveal bones to stab/slash you with, the jerk even sharpens the ends of the bones sticking out. I like thinking the devs heard of this frog and based the enemy character off of it.

      I wrote a bone sword backstory involving a guy getting his arm chopped off in battle, cursing his enemy for the sloppy cut, then jams the jagged spear of exposed bone into his opponent's gut. This act of defiance against death mildly amuses the Nameless God of Death, who blesses the bones to become a lifestealing blade that cannot be dropped. That is all backstory of the bone sword, which is modified by the time you receive it, in game. The warrior who's bones became the sword did so on his deathbed, sacrificing his still-living hand to place a grasping hilt on the blade's "elbow" for the next able warrior to wield this blessed and cursed weapon.

    you could probably do a whole video just about the (literally) thousands of different kinds of toxin sea cucumbers have. different species have toxins with completely separate chemical makeup, and naturally different effects. medical science is super interested in them, because some of the poisons may be useful in making medicines

    • @revenevan11
      @revenevan11 Před 2 lety

      In particular, I've heard that they've discovered that a toxin in some sea creature happened to be good at killing fast replicating cells, but not super good at killing slow growing ones... which means it's a candidate for a new chemotherapy drug for cancer! Or at least something similar to it in structure might be!
      I think that was from a different form of sea life and might've even been past clinical trials, I'm not in the medical field so idk, just a fun fact I read years ago. I wouldn't be surprised if we discover something like that within some random fish's sleeping-bag (sea cucumber anus).

    • @DBT1007

    In regards to the horned toad shooting its own blood out of its eyes, I think (if I'm remembering correctly) that it's repurposing tear ducts for the action, similar to how that one stage performer drinks through their eyes. You can get an idea of how it might feel by clamping your mouth shut, pinching your nose, and trying to exhale really hard. That's because most of the tubes and cavities in your skull are connected to a degree.
