The problem with solar roadways is that people still think electricity generated through solar power is free which is not. They talk about the energy savings per year but forget installation costs which is at the moment the biggest drawback about solar and wind energy apart from being uncontrollable and volatile.

Wasn't expecting to see SO many hats in an update video :-) Hope all is good - you've got plenty of fans in the UK / London so reach out if you need anything from us - take your time with videos! I'd really like to see how that angry duck mask would go down somewhere like Canary Wharf or the City - think the terror police would probably have something to say about it lol

Hey Phil! Thanks for the update. Hope all is well with you and your family. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos. If you're also looking for 2 great channels to check out that debunk feminism perfectly, let me know. I would love to share them with you.

I also worked at McDonald's, mostly to keep upgrading my computer. About 11 years ago (I was ~16).

It's good you are getting time with your Dad, particularly given his illness. More science vids is also great. As for solar powered roadways, I think a big problem is that while a lot of people have solar panels nowadays, they don't realise how subsidized these are - for the society as a whole the panels, even ones on a tilted roof, are far less cost effective (or green) than they are for the individuals concerned. If you ever run out of stupid to debunk (yeah, I know, when we find hell and its frozen over on planet kolob) a vid on the "dna discovered in dinosaur bones" would be awesome, you are one of the few youtubers with the science credentials to really pummel home what the scientists actually found, and why the YEC take on it is BS - I've run into YECs arguing about dino dna several times now and its really annoying ;-). <a href="http://www.livescience.com/41537-t-rex-soft-tissue.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://www.livescience.com/41537-t-rex-soft-tissue.html</a> <a href="https://www.icr.org/article/7160/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.icr.org/article/7160/</a> On the gender pay-gap, my understanding is that much of it is due to part time vs. full time work, and I suspect that a key job skewing the full-time wage issue is teaching which in the UK at least is not well paid but heavily skewed towards women, particularly amongst teachers of young children. The lack of skepticism and reluctance to challenge the authority of those making the claims by extreme feminists results in failure to "solve the problem" as unless you correct identify a problem, you can't work efficiently to resolve it. With the hijab, niqab, burka issue (<a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/24118241" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/24118241</a> if any of you aren't sure about the issue), the problem isn't just that adults don't wear masks in our culture and so these have negative connotations, a big problem is the communication barrier - a great deal of communication is in body language, and facial expressions are a hugely important point of that. When you can't see if someone is happy, sad, angry, etc it can be hard to even identify the correct tone, etc with which to initiate a conversation (us English are very adverse to accidentally offending people, it's one reason why people with hard to pronounce names find that some English don't talk to them much)

THis is really cool. You should make one "making of" video for patreons, especially on what sort of software you use for superimposing videos, and the process of making your animations. I am only getting to grips with Sony Movie Studio and it is some ways similar to the Cubase workflow (music sequencer). In a way making videos is actually similar to composing music (on a Computer), there seems to be a common motivator there for creative people. Wish I could Patreon a little more, all the best to your father and fair play for spending some quality time with him.

Great to hear from you again TF! Best wishes to you during a tough time. Anita back? When did she ever go away? Honestly sometimes I think the biggest problem is everyone giving her so much attention, but I guess she's going to get the positive attention regardless so it behooves us to provide the opposite. Great masks/headwear, got a good chuckle out of them.

Oh my god! I stopped paying attention for like a minute, then had the shit scared out of me by a clown mask. Thanks!
