Whitehead and Russell were doing a lot more than just proving 1+1=2 in those books. If you're just focused on the portions of set theory that are directly relevant to the question you can do it in a lot less space.
@@markusklyver6277They didn't just define the meaning of a word. They built up the basics of mathematics from pure logic, showing how to define all the numbers as well as operations like addition.
Oh wauw. Seem like a little more recognition could be given. Unless of course it’s one of those processes where you try 200 sheep and keep only the one that looks most promising…
Also Dolly's taxidermied remains are in the National Museum of Scotland in their science and technology room. So you get to this room and there's rockets! and planes! and a stuffed sheep.
yeah, you're basically giving the sheep a haircut. Once I picked up some flowers for my wife spontaneously and she posted how nice it was on a forum we both frequented (yes, we're old internet ppl) and some jerk butted in and 'rained on her parade' with 'you killed plants for your transitory whim' and similar...the next morning, another forum-regular who worked in landscaping explained how cultivating flowers and plant blooms *doesn't kill the plant itself* - it's another 'gave it a haircut' moment. :)
@@empath69 there are some flowers they might be right on, specifically annuals that only have one stem and die back after flowering, but unless you got very specific kinds of sunflowers, that is highly unlikely. And even then I don't think that kills the plant directly. And even then, the plant probably deserved it. Some plants can be quite rude.
I did the same thing un plugging the Christmas tree when I was a teenager. I remember feeling the buzz from the power then I'm laying on the floor with my sister looking down at me calling dad for help. I'd been squatting and when the juice hit me my leg muscles straited involuntarily. My sister said it was weird, I just suddenly jumped backwards several feet. My sister laughed and asked why I had done that and when I didn't respond or move my sister realized I was unconcise (or maybe dead). That was when she realized what had happened, and she kind of freaked out.
Can I also say, the pin doesn't matter if the OUTLET is not grounded. And outlets can be 3-prong but not necessarily be grounded. I just learned this and so all my fears of being electrocuted have returned. (My Mom nearly died of electrocution as a toddler. Terrifying. 😱) I loved this question bc I'd never heard what happened to Dolly. 1+1, science, knitted sweater, took me there immediately. Very cool question!
In older buildings. Grounding is required by codes for newer buildings. I just had to stay in an apartment built in the 1940s that just didn't have a ground wire. Only some plugs even had the ground pin.
@@IceMetalPunk I once electrified myself on a mains powered 9v battery charger. I touched the battery terminals with the battery the wrong way round while holding it by the mains pins. I reckon the coils that usually step down the power acted in reverse. The battery was flat after my mistake.

3.20. Me a crocheter: you don't crochet with sticks, you use a hook. Also it's Crochet that is really hard to mechanise, the best machine (that i know of) has only manged to do 4 stitches in a row and can only attempt circular patterns, which most people can beat after spending an afternoon learning crochet.
2:26 - The grounding pin wouldn't have made any difference there. What you need is _sleeved_ pins (like in Europlugs and modern UK plugs) or a recessed socket (like Schuko outlets).
Speaking of scary plug designs, I used to have one of those universal adaptors (any country to any country). To avoid having exposed live prongs, the Australian prongs had to be pushed inward and held with a sliding clip, they were spring loaded to shoot outward. You can see where this is going. Scared the shit out of me, but no harm done. The hoarder in me took forever to throw it out.
The War of 1812 is one of those weird ones where technically both sides can honestly claim victory, since both sides achieved their war aims, and neither side took enough losses for it to be Pyrrhic.

Depends on what was being unplugged. Some things don't have on/off switches, and not all outlets have reset buttons. In those cases, you'd have to go to the circuit breaker and flip the entire circuit off for that.
Just hold on to the plastic part of the plug and pull, don't weirdly grip it so that you're touching the prongs. I really don't understand how Sabrina shocked herself while unplugging something.
Also, a correction: Dolly was not the first cloned mammal. She was the first cloned mammal from an adult cell. There were some sheep cloned from embryo cells before that.
Initial thoughts: two different materials for each ones, and the two is a mix of both. Could be from different fabrics type (e.g. wool, cotton), wool from different animals (e.g. sheep, alpaca), ... But that's not Lateral enough. (Edit: added a paragraph split for readability, and ruined it by explaining the edit.) I know Dolly the cloned sheep was in 1996(?), and that a lot of other advances in genetics happened in the 90s.

Actually, static electricity isn't fully understood. Well technically, static electricity is, but the why of electrons moving when certain materials are being rubbed together isn't.

Good news! Sabrina _wasn't_ electrocuted, because she's still alive. (electrocute = electric + execute, meaning the result was unalivedness.) Indifferent news: A ground pin in the plug wouldn't have prevented that shock.
No but there was a War of 1812 where the USA declared war on Canada/Great Britain. In the process of the war the British burnt down the White House and the Capitol building so I wonder if this is what Tom was referring to.
"Can you prove that the sky is blue?" WELLLLLLL there is a story about it called "What Makes the Sky Blue" in a 3-part series in the critically acclaimed mobage Granblue Fantasy- oh wait no no no no no
Finn-Dorset is the name of the breed, not the name of the original sheep. "Dolly was cloned from a cell taken from the mammary gland of a six-year-old Finn Dorset sheep and an egg cell taken from a Scottish Blackface sheep."
I'm confused about how Sabrina shocked herself - there's no reason to touch the prongs while pulling a plug out of the socket. (I'm American, and have never had an issue with getting shocked while unplugging things. The NA plug design has plenty of room to grip on the plastic base of the plug, it's fine.)
North American plug design may be "terrifying", but, to be perfectly honest, with how spatially inefficient English plugs are, I would want to see studies showing an actual, statistical difference in safety before I would be willing to make the switch.
1+1=2, a math joke on a sweater... Im betting its something to do with early punch-card computers having been made with like, repurposed knitting machinery? So its not written ON the sweater, the 1+1=2 proof is written in the pattern itself?
Fun fact: they called her Dolly as a tribute to Dolly Parton because the original cell(s) she was cloned from came from her mother's(?) mammary tissue.

Last war against the British was the War of 1812. This war ended in 1815 with the total defeat of the English in Battle of New Orleans. ruclips.net/video/50_iRIcxsz0/видео.html
