    hey destin!
    i have a question! will speaking against or with the wind make a difference in how far the sound waves are carried?
    for example: if the wind was blowing west, would yelling toward the west have a farther range than yelling against the wind towards the east?

    • @Ygr3ku
      @Ygr3ku 7 лет назад

      Technically yes. Practically the difference is not so big. (depends on how strong the wind blows too). Keep in mind though that this is just an assumption. I'm not a scientist.

    That place at 2:20 is called Jökulsárlón (glacier-river-spring) and more than 75% of it has melted away since the early 1980's. The glaciers there will all be gone within a decade. (I'm from Iceland btw.)

    • @d_kortman
      @d_kortman 5 лет назад +9

      While diving, the air you are breathing is cold and dry. After diving for 20+ minutes your mouth starts to dry out and it gets hard to swallow and equalize. I love diving in freshwater because it’s usually clearer, but you can also drink the water (in certain conditions). I almost freaked out once while I was dehydrated diving at 100 feet in salt water and there was nothing I could do about it. Drinking salt water makes it worse. But drinking fresh water helps a lot.

      It might be due to the geology. I believe that Florida has a lot of limestone which produces quite hard water which I think is not as pleasant as soft water.

      I have about 500 wetsuit dives and always need to pee. For my 2 dives at Silfra I used adult diapers, which work amazingly well. Very comfortable with no sensation of wetness. It takes a while to break the reflex and pee into a dry garment, but if you really gotta go...

    • @cheese8308
      @cheese8308 5 лет назад +1

      I think they keep u warm. We live in norway wich is always cold, so we use drysuits alot of the time when we dive. I myself have never dived cuz im not old enough

    • @chrissmith9151
      @chrissmith9151 5 лет назад +6

      Dry suites keep you quite warm. We used to dive under the ice in Indiana and could stay under 30 to 40 minutes before the water on our faces made it uncomfortable. We would also carried small Argon tanks to inflate our dry suites for more insulation.

    • @GWM-E
      @GWM-E 4 года назад +1

      if you wear suficiant thermal clothing underneath your suit, it will keep you warm way longer than a wetsuit because there is air inside the cloathing so you have manny layers underneath the drysuit

    • @sailorgeer
      @sailorgeer 4 года назад +1

      I dive in the Vancouver area and although the surface waters get warm in summer , if you get below the thermocline about 30’ down the water is about 8 celcius (46 f) and a dry suit is much warmer than a wet suit. There are two kinds of dry suits, one which is a thin waterproof barrier like a tarpaulin, but offers no insulation,; the other type is 6mm neoprene which is both water tight and insulating. For the first type you need to wear thermal layers like fleece underneath . For the neoprene type you don’t really need an under layer but I use a thin wicking layer like athletic clothes to keep the skin feeling dryer (and avoid baring your skin to the elements when suiting up). Either way, the insulation and lack of water against your skin keep you warm and dry. My body has never felt cold in a dry suit but it has been cold in a neoprene wetsuit of the same thickness. In winter your head and face can get a bit cold because your face has no protection at all and the hoodie is just like a wetsuit that lets water in. My hands have never been cold even with normal wetsuit gloves because there is very little water exchange once they fill up. The only downside of a dry suit is that the trapped air adds at least 10 lb of buoyancy that you need to compensate for with more weight on your weight belt. This air needs to be managed like a BCD. You add air as you descend to reduce the “suit squeeze” and purge air as you ascend to keep from ballooning up like the Michelin Man. The air inlet valve is usually on your chest and is connected to a low pressure whip to the scuba tank. Purging is done through another valve, usually on your shoulder, or you can twist your neck a bit and let the air escape from your neck seal. Also if you’re not careful and let your feet get above your head the trapped air can migrate to your ankles making your feet more buoyant than the rest of your body and you can end up upside down, feet up, with no means to purge the excess air. But altogether, in cold water dry suit wins hands down over a wet suit.

    the most important relationship in family is the one you have with your kids. There's no point in maintaining a relationship with your partner if it's a bad one, it's just suffering for everyone (I know it's not your case) but you can't "divorce" from your kids. They came to the world because it was your choice. Their lives depend on you.

      SmarterEveryDay Yes, it is a good point. But sometimes it is bound to happen from the start though they don't know it. My parents are getting a divorce now but I'm kind of glad they are. Their relationship worked at the beginning but mostly because the bad stuff wasn't very "visible". They didn't let it "die out" or something like that, they just weren't the right people to be together.

    • @Shade_K
      @Shade_K 7 лет назад +16

      Ciroluiro I just want to say that you can "divorce" your children, and many people do. Talking from experience here (my father disappeared when I was 8), but I totally get Destin's point, if the parents have a strong relationship (like they obviously do) it also benefits the children, i feel like the effort they put on themselves is also for the kids sake. Not saying someone can't be perfectly happy with just one parent of course, because I know I am!! But parenthood is hard, and having a strong foundation of support with each other probably helps with the struggle!

  • @leeeeee286

    • @CaptainMcAwesomepan

    • @msmyrk

    • @ericshw171
      @ericshw171 7 лет назад +3

      I'm interested by your position. Right off the bat i'll say i am a christian so perhaps i am not as aware of the "push" behind the christian message here. I thought this video had little to do with pushing the message and was more of a glimpse into his life, which is christian. As a final thought i'm curious to know whether the "push" is the issue or the "christian" is the issue?

    • @ericshw171
      @ericshw171 7 лет назад +2

      I am more in line with this comment. I think it is strange to punish a content creator of such high quality due to a minor (in my perspective) disagreement over theological/life principals.

    • @ericshw171
      @ericshw171 7 лет назад

      I am curious about your comment, i am going to ask why you wouldn't show this to your children? I assume a few things here. the primary one being that you do not want to raise your children with a christian bias. if thats not correct or misses the truth by too much just say so and i'll be happy to leave it at that (and leave you alone).
      if you are raising them this way would it not be beneficial to expose them to exactly this content? Destin, in my opinion, is able to create a wonderful community that has a shared love of learning and kindness to others. if you wanted to expose a child to thoughtful debate on such common things as the merits of theology then i could think of no safer space.
      My final thought here being this: Surely they will be confronted with this (christian) bias in their life and won't it benefit them to be exposed to it early and in a positive light?
      I know i said final thought but... the reason i say in a positive light there is because I think it is a great miscalculation to only paint other views into a certain light. as i said above i assume you oppose christian bias but if you want a child who is well equipped in approaching bias of all sorts they ought to have a well rounded view of the topic, in my humble (but long winded) opinion.... Also i have no children... and am christian.. full disclosure.

    i have a question. at 5:21 you pushed against the two plates does that mean you pushed the plates apart by 0.0000000000000000000000001 or some odd number? if so you can say you moved contienets apart.

      Arnold Chavez seems likely

      Nothing happened and here is the reason. The friction between all materials when the contact surface is at rest is greater than the friction between the meaterials if they were moving. So, in order to push those plates apart one would have to overcome that friction and, essentially, create a miniature earthquake.
      That's also why earthquakes exist in the first place; the landmasses are not just gradually sliding.

      There is no such thing in nature as a number with thousand decimal zeros, I'm afraid. Google "Planc length". And as I said, disregarding the quantum fluctuations of sub-atomic level particles, the speed of the rocks that were touched on the video is zero almost all the time except for the odd occurrence of an earthquake during which the continent plates do move.
      No problem with the level of English, buddy, as a Finnish university student I can assure you that I once didn't know a single word of the language.

    I am SOOO jealous of you right now! I really want to go diving at Silfra some day. It looks so epic!
    Have you dived in the Cenotes in Mexico? That's my most spectecular diving experience. Very clear water as well, and going through the halocline (where the salt and fresh water meet) was awesome.

      I dived in the cenotes in Mexico last winter. It was really cool. The different densities of the waters really made it look like you were flying over a lake in a big cave.

      No, right before the waterfalls! You were on your way back from the falls :)
