    Not to question your sponsor too much (they do good sponsorships 😂) but I've had my hair fall out. Twice. Not all of it. Alopecia. I've seen you and others I like do the spiel and am constantly left wondering if Keeps prevents Alopecia? There are topical medicines that help regrow hair that's fallen out. Steroids that promote growth, as I understand it. So Keeps isn't strictly talking about the same hairloss that I am, hence my curiosity and question.

    Oh NO. Growing up in Hawaii I never knew other people didn't have this possibly life saving tip. If you are ever at a beach or ocean front and the water recedes much farther back than normal (even farther back during low tide,) head for higher ground. Don't marvel at the scene. Don't go looking for shells, clams, or anything! Head for higher ground! All that water is getting pulled back by the formation on the Tsunami and will come back all at once. So, when that water goes way back back back for no reason (not low tide), you go the other way Brah!

    Being in Japan, it took me a while to get used to seeing signs warning me that I was in a tsunami prone area (and also how high I was above sea level) whenever I made trips to the coastal towns. However, with time, I got used to this way of life in Japan and I am glad that we have such a system in place that could hopefully give us life saving warning of when (not if) the next huge tsunami slams into Japan......

    Japan's warning system is much, much better than the US. I was amazed to see how they get inset warnings on their TVs, on the radio, on their cellphones all over the country, not to mention civil services using megaphones to supplement automated sirens and announcements. While the US is more ad hoc and complicated. There's a Pacific Tsunami Warning Center for Hawaii and the Pacific islands, and a National Tsunami Center for the Continental US & Canada including California up through Alaska. These agencies monitor all the satellites and data and sensors like DART you mentioned, and then issue tsunami warnings and advisories to government and local agencies such as the US National Weather Service, state Offices of Emergency Response, city governments, regional Coast Guard stations, military bases, and major TV broadcasters. Those parties decide in turn what to do with that information. Whereas in Japan, once the advisory goes out, it goes OUT- to the public as well as official agencies, displaying in a standard format with a map of Japan on phones, on radio, on TV, and to government officials and agencies. So what do US state agencies do when they receive a tsunami warning? I'm not sure whether it's manual or automated, but California, Oregon, Washington and Hawaii pass the warning onto people's cellphones if we have "emergency warnings" notifications turned on. TV news stations should announce the warnings, although I'm not sure they'll interrupt non-news programming the way Japan does. The National Weather Service broadcasts the tsunami warning to anyone who has a NWS radio, which has a special feature- it can pick up an antiquated but really neat carrier wave at the beginning of each alert, something like a modem dialup tone, which encodes all its warnings, a way of transmitting data that predated the internet and will still work if all forms of communication other than radio are knocked out. Hawaii, Washington State, and Alaska have warning sirens at beaches and waterfronts. (I don't think Alaska has anything BUT warning sirens, except maybe in Anchorage, since it's mostly wilderness with a coastline the size of Europe.) As for evacuation plans, Japan drills them, whereas I think only in Hawaii do they drill regularly for tsunamis; here on the mainland we may have signs, but it's up to local towns/areas to take the initiative and involve communities in that level of planning. Thanks to the new awareness of the Cascadia Hazard Zone which was only discovered in the past 20 years, Oregon's started building vertical evacuation towers along beaches in some areas, because parts of its coast are flat for quite a ways inland; other parts of the US west coast are quite steep, so the only problem is finding a way up the cliffs in time. Here in California, we just have signs going down to the beach- I thought they were marking tsunami evacuation routes, but apparently they actually say "tsunami hazard zone," which shows how unobtrusive they are. In the course of trying to figure out what tsunami plans were in my area, I found an article on a recent earthquake in Alaska which mentioned they have tsunami evacuation centers in schools, so it sounds like they, too, are more organized: again, they've had major tsunamis within living memory, so they're more motivated to do so. Whereas California is much, much better prepared for earthquakes, now with an earthquake alert system like Japan's and Mexico's (FINALLY). TL;DR: The US states are an hodgepodge of different emergency alert systems, with different levels of preparedness and evacuation planning. We KNOW tsunamis are a hazard, but it's really only Hawaii and maybe Alaska that have any kind of system set up and ready to meet the challenge. For the rest of us, it's like "remember what the Boxing Day Tsunami looked like? If you see the water pull out from the beach, run uphill." I give lots and LOTS of credit to Japan for their tsunami warning system, with the maps flashing up on everyone's phones and TV screens showing expected areas of impact and loudspeakers in many towns announcing incoming tsunamis verbally as well as with sirens. Despite the fact that they got clobbered by the most powerful earthquake and tsunami ever to hit them in history, thanks to a megathrust quake which ALSO set off an underwater landslide that magnified the amount of water displacement... the death toll was low for the size of those waves and the vast area impacted. If that had hit an American coastal area of comparable population density, say the eastern seaboard from Norfolk Virginia up to Philadelphia, even if people had been given warning, Americans are so bad about heeding emergency officials that the death toll would have been five to ten times worse.

    But, but ... Simon you've reported on Cascadia / Pacific North West before ... people there are incredibly vulnerable. One school has built a tower for people to run up. They do drills. "The big one" comes quite regularly, every 500 years. Partial slips of the 900-mile subduction zone - just off the Washington and Oregon coast - happen even more frequently. Last "full rip" was 26 Jan 1700. PNW tsunami is not if but when. 30 per cent chance in the next 50 years. 12,000 could die and we know FEMA works on the basis the "everything west of the I-5 will be toast". They will be lucky to get 20 minutes notice to get to higher ground.

There's a "fault" on the Canary islands that could let a major chunk of the island drop into the ocean on the side away from Africa potentially causing a wave that could reach the Americas and Caribbean region.

    An old Japanese coastal custom was to mark the highest point struck by a Tsunami to warn the generations after not to build below that point. There may be 100+ years before another that strong again and the memory may be lost, but the totem would still be there. If following tsunamis were below that point, everybody's homes were safe. If a larger tsunami hit, the totem would be replaced at the new higher location.

    Well they do. But if they can find some kind of military connection the budget will habitually be nearly limitless. That is why nearly every single research project in medicine always include a paragraph about the potential usefulness to combat medics, etc, etc.

    The UK doesn't need a tsunami warning system. Yes you occasionally get minor earthquakes, but the way the tectonic plates are underneath the earth's crust in the UK's part of Europe, means that tsunamis are near impossible, that there's no good reason a system should be installed. Where Hull is located, tsunamis pose no threat to you. Just because you live close to the sea doesn't mean that a warning system is needed. Scientists have figured this out many times.

    Simon I really love your work, and the level of commitment you have to making them factual, and entertaining. But there's something that I notice with your videos and some other creators. You all have this filtered look at the military, and the money that goes into it. I absolutely agree money needs to be spent for more domestic issues. But here is the problem, the world you want and strive for isn't the world we live in. We live in a world we're socialist governments purposely starve their people forcing parents to eat their children because they don't want the neighbors doing it once they've died..All while we have an Over abundance of food....we allow this to happen we allow politicians/actors/business leaders and nobodies traffick children for terrible reason...you all sit an piss an moan about capitalism, and how shitty it is and how it hurts people. But most people have 2 or 3 T.Vs, access to the internet, welfare programs aimed at getting you a job, but thats mean so were just gonna pay them for breathing. Yet socialist/communist countries literally try to feed their people shit, murder them in the streets, torture them whatever they want. Our Departments of government home and around the world fight against each other for money and information. And instead of trying to get past difference countries slowly chip away at countries trying to destroy and cripple like China and Russia are doing to The U.S. So my issue is, you've got to stop complaining about the money spent to keep your fluffy life. There ix money going to stupid programs for children to have sex changes, or who ever thinks they're being oppressed because they think they'res more than 2 genders. I could go on. Stop complaining, and start taking the time to realize how good your life is. Because if you want the life a typical Chinese person, stop making videos cause you wouldn't be allowed first off, and get into the factory. Wait you've spoken negatively about China, that's not good. Your social credit score has dropped, employers will not take a chance on a shite person like you. Your forced onto the streets, you have to steal, and your starving. They catch you stealing. Now your no longer with us.

    No properly socialist government is starving its people, and the military isn't stopping the authoritarian governments that are. Your post makes it clear that you can't separate economics (socialist/capitalist) from type governance (authoritarian, democracy). You can have authoritarian leaders in socialism, communism, or capitalism, and they all exist along the same spectrum. There's a great video by the channel Knowing Better if you truly want to know the difference. The US military is a jobs program wrapped around a eugenics program. If you're poor, but reasonably smart and able-bodied, they'll send you for training, give you money for a house and college, and support your family. It's win/win, too. Those who stay in service move up to run the program for the next generation, and those who get out are trained, disciplined, and often become remarkably successful in civilian or government careers. Many public servants and business owners got their start in the military. Finally, I served in the military. Part of the "rights" that I served to defend is the right to speak out *against the government.* The US takes in quite a bit in tax revenue, and spends enormously on defense. We also spend so enormously on healthcare and education, yet those services aren't free (at point of service) to most Americans like they are in other countries. The money was spent, and we paid those taxes, yet the benefit wasn't delivered. This is exactly the kind of thing we Americans should be speaking out against.

    Oh, also, gender, like ALL human attributes, exists on a spectrum. It's called gaussian distribution. While technically men and women have different means (for a given trait), there is significant overlap. That's all the evidence that anyone should need to practice a little empathy for those who feel as if they are "trapped in the middle." If you need more, though, it's important to recall that hormone disruptions during pregnancy and early childhood can interfere with the sexual structures (XY, but no male genitalia develop) or brain structures (hypothalamus, studies have posited a link to sexual preference). As far as medicine has come, it isn't really possible to "reprogram" these structures after their developmental phases end. Instead of blasting the internet with ignorance, please take the time to understand that these issues are incredibly complex and research is only just beginning.
