@@BlockCarRacingOfficial accidentally firing is the definition of negligent discharge. ANY unauthorized firing for ANY reason is a negligent discharge and you get an Article 15.
And an Article 15 is an administrative measure that's used to punish members of the US Military. It can come with things like a reduction in pay, restriction of movement on or off base, rank reduction or even short term confinement. It can f*** your career depending on how serious the offense that causes it.

32:36 "what does ND mean?" ND means negligent discharge in other words purposefully firing off a round while ignoring and avoiding proper safer procedure
It's not necessarily purposeful, most ND's are entirely accidental and happen unintentionally when clearing or cleaning a firearm. It _can_ be purposeful, like not knowing what's behind what you're shooting at and shooting through someone's house, but it doesn't necessarily have to be in order to be considered an ND.
@@Insanabiliter_In_Linea exactly! the reason it's called negligent is specifically because it was the result of negligence. Whereas the term accidental discharge is used almost exclusively for actual, beyond your control, accidents
52:30 Having your house buried helps A LOT. My grandmother’s house was similar to this and while she had an air conditioner and heating, it was almost never turned on and like 68 degrees year round in the northern Midwest. And to expand on “ground is good insulation”, there are some companies that have warehouses in caves in Missouri and Tennessee (probably other places too) because they’re naturally temperature controlled. When I was a OTR truck driver I’ve had to go to Missouri’s quite a few times and it’s kind of surreal to drive a truck through a cave system.
The freaky garden thing: That's a Japanese/Chinese shrine! It's used to worship gods or a lost family member (i.e., Grandpa, (rich) Uncle, etc). You're actually very lucky to see that! The dogs look like statues...??? So I'm assuming it's a dog shrine.
43:13 There are absolutely decorative metal cases/jackets for matchboxes. They’re not that common anymore, but I think there was one floating around my house as a kid.
Yep, my grandma has a porcelain matchbox with a hinged top that has a painted design. She keeps it on a table to use for shabbat candles (she's orthodox Jewish). It perfectly fits an average sized matchbox inside.
Yep those existed, but they went out of use due to the safety match. Old western style matches could be ignited on any rough surface like boots. Or denim so people regularly set their pants on fire. This led to the invention of the safety match which needs the strip on the matchbox side.
1:21:23 I mean, illegal bars and similar establishments were called "speakeasies" because the operators needed a way to verify someone wasn't a party-pooper before letting them in. Besides, before central air and heating were widespread, opening your door just to talk to someone would let in inclement heat or cold. I love Robin as a narrator, really.

As a floridian yes that’s a Cuban knight anole They’re grumpy but mostly harmless. You can sometimes catch them by getting them to bite your hand, and just pick up your hand and they’ll be holding on with their mouths like idiots. Generally doesn’t make you bleed either
100:25 - The proper name for that is a 'flower frog'. It IS used for putting flower arrangements in, probably short roses for that particular frog, as it's so shallow.
4:35 Since it's on their side of the fence you can't touch it, and reporting it to the cops can get messy since you still have to live next to your neighbors. Secure a large metal bowl to a stick or post and place it right in front of the speaker with the open part of the bowl facing their house (make sure the bowl is on your side of the fence)
As long as they are cooked, rosary peas are mostly harmless and not deadly. They are dangerous (up to deadly) however if they are uncooked/raw and even worse, when unripe AND raw.
51:12 Those clay hands and rods with string are for cube shaped hanging planters. The hands fit the underside corners and the rods slide over the top corners.
1:02:00 about: your excessively sweaty hands might be ‘dishydrosis’, and feet are affected as well . Sometimes little whiteish dots appear. My dermatologist had me apply antiperspirant a couple times daily. Went away with age.
0:54 I know a vast amount of animals (either by name or only looks/attributes) but this has me dumbfounded. I can't make anything out of it. It seems to have a squirrel tail, a pincer, and a bird's head on top. However... now that I look it with my head tilted left I can only think of a sea dragon. A kind of seahorse that camouflages itself as seaweed. That might explain the weird protrusions, but still doesn't fully match its silhouette.
1:09:24 That looks like an Asturian bowling ball, Asturian bowling is a traditional game from the region of Asturias, in Spain, and it has more complex rules than regular bowling. My source is that I am Asturian myself. Asturias was a pretty industrial place (Essential for the Industrial Revolution) so maybe they got those balls from some train or mine related artifact

The Bone dice are just a 'knucklebone dice set,' sold as a toy even now. The 'ant collector' is called a pooter and they are often used by entomologists for any king of small insect.
3:41 That's a cosplay piece from an Agatha costume from Phil Foglio's "Girl Genius" webcomic. A friend of mine did that cosplay at a convention in the Chicago suburbs. 4:38 My neighbor has a smaller and less annoying Annoyatron like this in her yard. It makes all manner of weird sounds, though I drew the line at the "police car" sounds. We have a family of foxes that has been living under a bush in our yard. This woman is terrified that the foxes will attack her or her grandchildren, so she had it set to discourage the foxes from staying. I can't break it to her that I've seen them playing in my yard in the mornings, sunning themselves, while the thing has electronic apoplexy in her yard. They just don't care. She does turn it off at night. I also don't have the heart to tell her the foxes are nocturnal, and aren't around at night anyway. They're very pretty foxes. Every winter around February, they have their mating season, and they can sound eerily like a woman screaming. (Not as bad as Peacocks, that sound exactly like a woman or child shouting "help!") 10:31 The Magic Eye is a brand of vacuum tube that in use glowed in the shape of an eyeball. Fairly common in old radios, and some old Civil Defense clocks that had radios in them tuned to am emergency frequency. Look up "Zenith magic eye radio clock". There's a bunch of links. 32:13 That's a bullet trap for handguns. The interior is very thick steel plate, angled so the bullet would lose a lot of kinetic energy. Some have sand or chunks of ground up tires to stop the bullet at the bottom of the trap. Source: I used to be a firearm instructor. (ND = "Negligent Discharge") 52:24 My uncle had a house on Lake Charlevoix with living room, kitchen, bedrooms, bathroom. Upstairs was minimal, like a screen house. They only entertained above ground. The real house was fully underground. Below a certain depth, the temperature never changes, staying around 57 F. This was amazingly comfortable in summer and not cold in winter, just sort of lukewarm. The upstairs had lots of ventilation and what amounted to a better grade of patio furniture. They held small parties there from time to time.
02:36 : yeah, that's definitely two earthworms doing what comes naturally. Fun fact: in earthworms, the mating process can take up to 24 hours, and they repeat it every week or so.
1:28:52 Yup. I work in an injection molding plant. Each part made comes from a cavity in the mold. So, they have cavity numbers. If I find flash (excess material) or a short (missing material), I can tell my supervisor I found it on cavity 8 or something. Saves us the trouble of having to figure out which mold section it came from. They can adjust how much material is going into the cavity, or identify if the mold is broken/not seated properly and is allowing material to squeeze out the sides. And then our job goes from nonchalantly dumping handfuls parts into boxes, and goes to miserably sitting at a brightly lit table having to inspect each part individually to figure out when the issue started, and if it'll continue after whatever fix that was done. Usually for the rest of the order over multiple shifts. I got to do that today. Oh joy.
13:00 -- Those purple lights would very unlikely be from grow lights; mainly because grow rooms are typically dark rooms without any windows, so you can precisely control the plant's day/night cycle. They have to have a certain amount of pitch black time to control different stages of their growth. I used to grow indoor "medical" (i..e legal) marijuana. You also wouldn't want the neighborhood to know there's a grow room in your building, making you a prime target for theft. I grew all my batches of plants in separate tents with reflective aluminum siding on the inside -- so you could barely tell the grow lights were turned on when you were inside the room.

3:18 that looks like an Altar de los muertos, very common in mexico in late october/early november, its something like our Halloween, altars are made for the deceased and frequently dogs are included (mostly xoloitzcuintle breeds) cuz theyre believed to take wandering souls to some kind of paradise called Mictlan. At least thats what I think its going on in that picture, maybe im wrong

37:00 yeah Velcro and tights don't mix I was reminded this the hard way after i opened my messenger style bag that uses Velcro while I loaded it with my shopping, had to spend about a minute trying to get the Velcro unstuck without tearing my tights up a lot(i managed to undo it without making a mess of my tights just a few loose threads). it also helped that its a bag i have had for at least 10 years at that point so the Velcro wasn't as grippy anymore either way its not fun

Re: 52:25, I live in a split level house and my first floor is half underground (about four feet), the eye level windows on the first floor are at ground level outside. Being partly underground does actually help a lot with temperature control, as the first floor stays relatively cool in the summer (never goes over 79F even without any A/C during weeks with 85--95 temps), and relatively warm in the winter (never goes below 58ish with the heat off even during months of -10--10 temps), while my second floor in the same situations would reach much more extreme temperatures
3:35 typically they use a come-a-long or hydraulic press to tighten the bolt using these wrenches. These big wrenches are used to tighten something with 1000's of pounds of force.
32:55 ND means Negligent Discharge. Your weapon system should already be cleared prior to reaching the barrel, however if you squeeze the trigger and discharge into the barrel, that means you put the weapon into battery, did not look into the ejection port, where you would have seen a live round, and proceeded to discharge anyway. The purpose of the clearing barrel is to avoid damage from discharge because of human error. I.E. failing to observe the port, or placing the weapon into battery with the trigger engaged. Edit, Article 15 is a form of non judicial punishment with 3 levels of punishment, the heaviest being reduction in rank, half pay, extra duty, and confinement to base for 45 days

I really love the combination of you guys haha, Robin is just very calming and has quite a logical feeling to their answers, Lexi is just funny and very shocked by some of these while Jack on the other hand is quite funny and very relateable haha, love u guys!
1:17 Reminds me of Amorphous Globosis, in which an animal is born as a deformed flesh ball with fur, hair, or feathers.
As a floridian yes that’s a Cuban knight anole
They’re grumpy but mostly harmless. You can sometimes catch them by getting them to bite your hand, and just pick up your hand and they’ll be holding on with their mouths like idiots. Generally doesn’t make you bleed either

Since it's on their side of the fence you can't touch it, and reporting it to the cops can get messy since you still have to live next to your neighbors.
Secure a large metal bowl to a stick or post and place it right in front of the speaker with the open part of the bowl facing their house (make sure the bowl is on your side of the fence)

As long as they are cooked, rosary peas are mostly harmless and not deadly. They are dangerous (up to deadly) however if they are uncooked/raw and even worse, when unripe AND raw.
51:12 Those clay hands and rods with string are for cube shaped hanging planters. The hands fit the underside corners and the rods slide over the top corners.
1:02:00 about: your excessively sweaty hands might be ‘dishydrosis’, and feet are affected as well . Sometimes little whiteish dots appear. My dermatologist had me apply antiperspirant a couple times daily. Went away with age.
0:54 I know a vast amount of animals (either by name or only looks/attributes) but this has me dumbfounded. I can't make anything out of it. It seems to have a squirrel tail, a pincer, and a bird's head on top. However... now that I look it with my head tilted left I can only think of a sea dragon. A kind of seahorse that camouflages itself as seaweed. That might explain the weird protrusions, but still doesn't fully match its silhouette.

1:09:24 That looks like an Asturian bowling ball, Asturian bowling is a traditional game from the region of Asturias, in Spain, and it has more complex rules than regular bowling. My source is that I am Asturian myself.
Asturias was a pretty industrial place (Essential for the Industrial Revolution) so maybe they got those balls from some train or mine related artifact
10:25 I'm guessing the function is called miracle eye because it's a "miracle" fake eye that can tell whether its dark or not in a room. It probably used to be a more impressive function
The Bone dice are just a 'knucklebone dice set,' sold as a toy even now.
The 'ant collector' is called a pooter and they are often used by entomologists for any king of small insect.

4:38 My neighbor has a smaller and less annoying Annoyatron like this in her yard. It makes all manner of weird sounds, though I drew the line at the "police car" sounds.
We have a family of foxes that has been living under a bush in our yard. This woman is terrified that the foxes will attack her or her grandchildren, so she had it set to discourage the foxes from staying. I can't break it to her that I've seen them playing in my yard in the mornings, sunning themselves, while the thing has electronic apoplexy in her yard. They just don't care.
She does turn it off at night. I also don't have the heart to tell her the foxes are nocturnal, and aren't around at night anyway. They're very pretty foxes. Every winter around February, they have their mating season, and they can sound eerily like a woman screaming. (Not as bad as Peacocks, that sound exactly like a woman or child shouting "help!")
10:31 The Magic Eye is a brand of vacuum tube that in use glowed in the shape of an eyeball. Fairly common in old radios, and some old Civil Defense clocks that had radios in them tuned to am emergency frequency.

32:13 That's a bullet trap for handguns. The interior is very thick steel plate, angled so the bullet would lose a lot of kinetic energy. Some have sand or chunks of ground up tires to stop the bullet at the bottom of the trap. Source: I used to be a firearm instructor. (ND = "Negligent Discharge")
52:24 My uncle had a house on Lake Charlevoix with living room, kitchen, bedrooms, bathroom. Upstairs was minimal, like a screen house. They only entertained above ground. The real house was fully underground. Below a certain depth, the temperature never changes, staying around 57 F. This was amazingly comfortable in summer and not cold in winter, just sort of lukewarm. The upstairs had lots of ventilation and what amounted to a better grade of patio furniture. They held small parties there from time to time.
02:36 : yeah, that's definitely two earthworms doing what comes naturally. Fun fact: in earthworms, the mating process can take up to 24 hours, and they repeat it every week or so.
8:11 The manual for court marshal next to the medal tells the whole story.

Yup. I work in an injection molding plant. Each part made comes from a cavity in the mold. So, they have cavity numbers. If I find flash (excess material) or a short (missing material), I can tell my supervisor I found it on cavity 8 or something. Saves us the trouble of having to figure out which mold section it came from. They can adjust how much material is going into the cavity, or identify if the mold is broken/not seated properly and is allowing material to squeeze out the sides. And then our job goes from nonchalantly dumping handfuls parts into boxes, and goes to miserably sitting at a brightly lit table having to inspect each part individually to figure out when the issue started, and if it'll continue after whatever fix that was done. Usually for the rest of the order over multiple shifts. I got to do that today. Oh joy.

13:00 -- Those purple lights would very unlikely be from grow lights; mainly because grow rooms are typically dark rooms without any windows, so you can precisely control the plant's day/night cycle. They have to have a certain amount of pitch black time to control different stages of their growth. I used to grow indoor "medical" (i..e legal) marijuana.
You also wouldn't want the neighborhood to know there's a grow room in your building, making you a prime target for theft. I grew all my batches of plants in separate tents with reflective aluminum siding on the inside -- so you could barely tell the grow lights were turned on when you were inside the room.

Re: 52:25, I live in a split level house and my first floor is half underground (about four feet), the eye level windows on the first floor are at ground level outside. Being partly underground does actually help a lot with temperature control, as the first floor stays relatively cool in the summer (never goes over 79F even without any A/C during weeks with 85--95 temps), and relatively warm in the winter (never goes below 58ish with the heat off even during months of -10--10 temps), while my second floor in the same situations would reach much more extreme temperatures

32:55 ND means Negligent Discharge.
Your weapon system should already be cleared prior to reaching the barrel, however if you squeeze the trigger and discharge into the barrel, that means you put the weapon into battery, did not look into the ejection port, where you would have seen a live round, and proceeded to discharge anyway.
The purpose of the clearing barrel is to avoid damage from discharge because of human error. I.E. failing to observe the port, or placing the weapon into battery with the trigger engaged.
