More Lead More Better? Science News! 

The ads are so bad now I finally had to research a way to install an adblocker on my TV.

I'm sticking to my Tin/Lead/Silver solder, thank you very much!

Better living through lead!

At one time radium salts were added to drinks. Turn the lights out and the drinks glow. Eventually they realised the correlation between consuming these drinks and their bodies dropping to bits.

When my sons were the age to start understanding real and made-up stories, NOVA did a special on the moon landings. "C" looked a little puzzled. "These space ships are so small." "Are you thinking of the other spaceship we watch (Star Trek)?" He nodded. "That ship is made-up. These were real when I was a boy." He was glued to it from then on. It ended with an incredible composit of a Saturn 5 launch. Ice falling, flame billowing, all the fire getting sucked down the flame trench, cables disconnecting, ganter pulling back, clamps releasing, rocket rising..... I don't think my kid even breathed😮

You sure honestly present yourself and appreciate your supporters. It is heartening to see that these days.

"You're kinda ruining RU-vid with the frikkin ads." summarizes the situation for me. I used to say I don't mind ads, then they started rolling 6 minute robo-voice scam infomercials that make me angry. RU-vid used to be on a screen 8 hours a day, but the last few months I'm just as likely to fire up old Hammer Horror movies on Tubi as background noise while I'm working.

Lead chromate was added to cinnamon for color...NPR did a bit on this. The recent drop in violent crime has been attributed, in part, to removing lead from gasoline.

Sorry to hear about the copyright slam. Brazil is a country of mostly sleazy people who won't measure efforts to stomp onto others if that means they make an easy buck or pamper their ego, morals, ethics and even laws be damned. But they'll say glory to Dog with the pokerest of faces and no amount of being called out will ever make them admit they're wrong while crying foul that this or that politician is a crook -- out of envy because they can't be there to be an even bigger crook.

I had always read about lead paint being gnawed on by kids in poor areas (old housing with old lead paint on the windowsills, etc). Also read the reason was it tasted sweet. There was sure enough leaded gas (we used gas to clean paint brushes and grease off tractor engines, etc) and other stuff on the farm growing up but eating paint chips was not on my radar as a kid. Probably in the latter 90s (I was in my early 30s then), I checked out some old paint chips I suspected were lead based. Put a few on my tongue long enough to confirm, yes, they tasted sweet. Spit out and rinsed afterwards of course. I went to college in Flint, MI late 80s and places I lived then probably had lead pipe from the city mains (!). The recent scandal had to do with the change to more acidic water source that "cleaned" the scale off those pipes and allowed the lead to get into the water in a higher amount.

"It's LEAD - Kids love it"! Reminds me of SNL character Irwin Mainway and his toy: "Bag O' Glass"

Used 'space' as my starting Wordle and was excited at the green squares. Ended up with a 6 and still all green squares LOL. I'm allergic to cinnamon so now I can take comfort that all those wonderful breakfast pastries and apple pies could be bad for more than just me.

My dad lived in a house where the water pipe coming into the house was made from lead. He lived there from 1946 until 2015 when he passed away at the grand old age of 96. So he was seemingly unaffected by it. Though i do wonder if it had anything to do with the fact that 6 out 7 of his children all suffer from various neurological diseases in their later years.

Mercurochrome doesn't contain chromium, that part of the (marketing) name is just supposed to connote color

Thanks Fran all the best from Edinburgh Scotland

"Thank you lead ❤" !!!

Remember perestroika and glasnost? As Reagan said, "Trust, but verify..." Chemicals and elements in our food...

My understanding is that the Simply Organic brand of cinnamon is the real deal. Hope so, 'cause that's what I buy. And, oh yes, somehow I survived Mercurochrome!

9:36 How did we survive before paper towels? 🙂

Merch? We need a Fran bobble head!

13:56 And funding for FDA inspectors, FAA inspectors, OSHA inspectors, regulation enforcement… etc, had been routinely cut. Deep Water Horizon was self regulated and the blowout preventer was not good. Thanx GOP for trimming wasteful safety inspection and regulation enforcement.

i get lots $0 patreons...since they introduced that zero $ feature....not so good for creators

Probably YT has been surpressing your channel, i haven't had notifications for months. It just got going again a few days ago.

Imported food from other countries needs to be investigated to prevent this kind of crime. A few years back pets were dying from tainted food from the Far East.(China?) Those countries ways of doing things seem to be easily corruptible. Bribery, intimidation…

Inflation has hit EVERYONE hard. Thank you very much for not giving in to YT so they can play the mind numbingly ridiculous ads on your channel, but if you chose to do so, I wouldn't blame you.

keep up the good work

There is no synonym for cinnamon.

I don't think the girls at Bletchley were as young as 13.. I would have thought that 16 and probably 18 would be the youngest..

But I thought if you just say something macho then the lead sickness can't see you?!??

Only the title already is clickbait.... " More Better " love it! Still need to watch the video (advertisements playing while i write this) but in advance i can tell you: Good job!

Ok, I'm buying cinnamon sticks only from now on. If it doesn't look like bark don't buy it.

Fran, I don't skip the ads since I want you to have that revenue. Go ahead and make them non skippable. I expect most of your viewers will put up with it.

Luving the C-64 shirt, sorry I can't afford one! Spent so many hours with the books, magazines and c-64 I built in a vic-20 case!

Nice !

Thanks for the info fran on cinnamon. Just had my oatmeal with cinnamon for breakfast. I will do a little looking about cinnamon now. Everybody told me that it was good for you to eat cinnamon can't believe what you hear.

You have to constantly change things up to keep making money. Right now, it's all about shorts and live streams. It's annoying.

Thanks!

I really like the sounds you were making at the end of the video. It seemed so fun! I would love to be able to make sounds like that, what device is it ? hopefully not something too expensive and is still purchasable.

What cool instrument are you playing in the credits?

Dig up who really owns the rights to that movie, inform RU-vid and DEMAND that they listen to YOU, not some lame dopes in Brazil.

Shame about FTBY&M but im keeping my roman cup it makes everything taste sweeter. 😂

Just speculating. Maybe less subscribers because less people are using RU-vid? (don't know about numbers). I've noticed myself working more hours here and there and less time spent at home or here. Also algorithm keeps getting changed and adjusted. I also have distanced myself from anything scientific in the past 3 or so years. Lots of trust and interest have gone down.

More keywords in your tagline & the ...more fields. Synonym the synonyms.

Mmmmmmm.. lead, delicious lead.

Lol 😂

The slide rule may have been stencil etched or coin stamped in some way. I'm not sure casting alone could get that kind of detail even with modern tech and alloys. But you may be right about the mass production in some form.

I was impressed that on the third launch, SpaceX got Starship into orbit. Clearly something went wrong either in the process of launch, while in orbit, or as it returned that was the cause of the breakup. I haven't followed closely enough to know if they said what caused the failure. But this is impressive. I fully expect that the next launch will bring Starship back to Earth in one piece. It's a process that took NASA well over ten years to do back in the day so much congratulating is earned and deserved. I was curious about Starship's trajectory during reentry. The little indicator kept flipping around even though it didn't seem the ship was doing that. I don't understand what that was about.

RU-vid's force ad paradigm is the most stupid thing they have ever done... oh wait... no, that would be where they strip a person's money take because a song was playing in the background. RU-vid is ABSOLUTELY LAME on this front, and the idiots doing it probably works at Apple and embraced their stupid forced ad paradigms that have messed up their OS to the point of hard crashes, which never used to happen on Apple platform OSes. The games crash hard all the way down to the core, and it is all because of Apple and the game devs and their "Spamvelope" they wrote around the OS to be sure that they PAY the game dev for forcing the player to watch ads and tabulating it. ll that "did they watch the whole thing" crap. Apple OS NEVER used to crash, but even my iPad Pro does it, and it has been since about OS rev 13 or so. I call it a "spamvelope".

Didn't Saturn 5 use hydrogen, not RP1?

Thanks!
