The “military grade” started out in the late 80s as “milspec” which indicated hardened and robust electronics for military use. At a time when computers where still fragile, they needed superior power supplies and shock absorption to survive on the battlefield. Pretty soon that became a sexy marketing term and lost any meaning.

​@@Kineth1 yeah good point; we definitely use nerve agents all the time, to great effect. Though to clarify the safety story: it's not exactly that the dosage is low, it's that insect nerves have some different chemical pathways than mammal nerves. Insecticides are designed to just target those insect-only pathways, so that they're safe to use around mammals. In other words, the dosage in a can of Raid, relative to LD50, is extremely low for us mammals, but would be extremely high if we were insects.

@@InventorZahran Essentially investment funds hedged on certain downward trending stocks to diminish in price. So they entered into an agreement with lenders to borrow shares of those stocks which they then sold at market price. They intended to pocket the profit or difference when their contract requires them to return the amount of shares they were loaned and the price has reached the low amount they want (ie sold loaned shares at 10ea, bought at 8ea to return). Users on investment forums were made aware of large hedges made by these companies and began driving the price up, so the losses incurred by those companies could be as high as the price really, as they have to buy that stock and return the shares to the lender. The funds drive the price up in contractually clearing their position in the loan, and it's a self feeding cycle that will ensure for the time being that the price will skyrocket.

Weapons grade: Refined to a high degree for maximum efficacy Military grade: Stripped down, built like a tank, largely unnecessary and made by the lowest bidder

Rarely the lowest bidder. The contracts are "best value" that's not the same thing, but the general public likes to pretend they know how government acquisition contracts work and think "lowest bidder" means inferior so it's becomes a criticism...

@@buckhorncortez The general public contains a lot of veterans I have talked to that have a different opinion of what you refer to as "value." Those who talk down to the people actually using the gear because they push pencils and rub elbows with people that have a high opinion of themselves like to pretend they know what is actually a "good value." Pretty much every actual soldier I've talked to has stories about how the military cutting corners and cheaping out on stuff or spending way too much money on things they don't need or don't work; let alone things that damn near/actually did cost people their lives.

Hey man, those search suggestions are based on *your* browsing history. So the real WTF is why are *you* shopping for Weapons Grade Waifus, Scott?

Always nice to see another mention of liquid-fluoride thorium reactors.

What website was on your laptop Scott? I notice it was showing the sun flares etc - looked cool!

"'Military Grade' is a completely meaningless term..." Remember when Ford had that F-150 'Military grade aluminum' ad campaign, and it was debunked as BS by a guy dropping a toolbox on it, which then punctured the F-150's box? 🤣🤣🤣

Weapons grade memes? Please tell me more.

probably referring to redditors boosting gamestops net worth to over 22 billion, sweeping the rug from under the hedge funds that shorted gamestop, and are now losing a hell of a lot of money

Fantastic videos as always

OMG! This is such a timely video. Thanks!
