    Fact about leeches: Don't pull them off. It agitates them and can cause them to regurgitate the blood back into you (if they had a different meal before hand, they could give you an infection or some diseases). Instead, use your finger nail (or a credit card) to scrape them off at their mouths. Then quickly cover or bandage the wound.

    In the urine of mammals most ammonia (NH3) is converted to urea (NH2OH2N) before being let out as its much more soluble and less toxic (among other reasons). It still has the ability to act as a base (increase pH, form salts with acids) like ammonia does, and of course it can be converted back to 2 x NH3-molecules. I think it's the effect on pH that was valuable for dyeing back in the day.

    Working conditions in the USA currently:
    No job security past this very instant. No severance required. No notice of termination required. No vacation/sick days/holidays off required. No bereavement leave. No parental leave. Your employer controls when you sleep, when you eat, where you go, what you are allowed to do on your own time, what medications you are allowed to take, and whether or not you can see a doctor without bankrupting yourself.

      Yup. My middle daughter has haemochromatosis, a genetic disease where the body absorbs and retains too much iron. It usually goes undetected until the iron builds up to the point of damaging your internal organs. But my daughter had the fortune of being tested in her teens after her uncle on my ex’s side was diagnosed after a heart attack. And what is the medical advice to prevent her iron building up and damaging her organs? Regular drawing of blood. Fortunately for her we live in a country where blood from people with haemochromatosis can be used for transfusion, so she simply needs to donate blood regularly. But if that weren’t possible leeches could be a desirable treatment

    Fulling is the process of tightening up or felting wool cloth after weaving it. The fibers felt together due to water temperature, soap, and agitation. Fulling the cloth makes it sturdier and warmer as it becomes more dense and the fibers interlock with each other. In the images of fulling, you can see the grooved board that the cloth is placed on at 24:02 . The women would rub the cloth back and forth over the ridges with their feet. The ammonia probably did help remove some of the excess lanolin (the oil found on wool), but the wool would have already been scoured, spun into yarn, and woven into cloth by this point in the process. The ammonia might also have helped prepare the fabric for dyeing. There are a lot of steps between raw wool and a coat.

At that point I had not learned how to swim in water over my head so I was near the shore. Got out of the water and had leeches on my legs. All I remember about it is looking down and seeing them as my dad poured salt on them to get them off and then being SUPER determined to learn how to swim way out where the leeches couldn't get me.

    The really nasty leech-like health treatment these days is using maggots to remove necrotic or scarred tissues. Apparently they are fantastic for healing, but the very thought of it makes me queezy.

    This opened with an Amazon job ad.
    Also, leech-gathering was the subject of Wordsworth's poem 'Resolution and Independence', so beautifully parodied by Lewis Carroll.

    Re: SurfShark VPN ad:
    A “HoneyPot” is a device that has been designed to be vulnerable and enticing - and is monitored as a “critical alert system” - alerting the network that it is in that it is under attack.
    What you described is a “Man-in-the-Middle” attack - where an attacker (in your case, operating the fake access point) inserts themselves in the flow of traffic and intercepts traffic between the legitimate AP and the client.

    The reason Jim staying and that being completely normal in the US is because, for the most part:
    1) no days to take off to go to an interview
    2) if you leave your job with no escape plan, you lose your health insurance, if you have it
    3) if you leave with no job lined up, you are fucked if you live paycheck to paycheck, which is a lot of millennials.
    4) a lot of people work multiple jobs too, so you have to find a job that eill let you work at your other job without firing you, and since you have no days off, and very few sick days, if any, if they keep you long or make you work an extra shift... pick which job is least likely to fire you

    Fun fact: Leechcraft actually has little to do with Leeches, unless you're a quack or living before 1800s.
    The word "Leech" in that context comes from old germanic "læce" meaning "Doctor" or "Healer".
    Hence Leechcraft just means 'the practice of medicine'.
    The technical term for using Leeches is Hirudotherapy, but wasn't coined till like 2000s or something, not sure.

    Back in 1993 by dad picked a fight with a radial arm saw and lost rather badly, there was no saving his pinkie finger, and his ring finger had been literally hanging by a thread (Both were at the Proximal/Metacarpal boundary). 6 hours of plastic surgery and they managed to reattach his ring finger and resort blood supply and the finger survived, and when mom finally let me visit him the nurses were busy applying leeches to the (Literally 100's of) stitches on my dads hand, was really fascinating and funny watching my dad pretend to freak out about the leeches while off his rocker on pain meds.

    I'm a pharmacist, and I have dispensed leeches for medicinal purposes. They can be very useful. Also in use in modern medicine: maggots and fecal transplants.

    Went swimming at a friend's grandparents cottage when I was 10, noticed several containers of salt lying around. They didn't bother to tell me that the pond was infested with leaches and that they habitually poured salt on them to get them off. Twenty minutes in the water and we all had dozens of leaches attached. Didn't speak to that "Friend" again for over a year.

    Jen, could you make just a video of Simon's unrelated tangents?! He seems to be creatively broken and quite proud of that fact. It might be an easy longer video full of Simon at his finest. Hope this makes it through to someone... Danny, Peter, ETA anyone....
