00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:00,500
Hello.

2
00:00:00,500 --> 00:00:03,000
I carved a face into a pumpkin.

3
00:00:03,640 --> 00:00:05,640
But spooks still happen.

4
00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:06,480
So what's up?

5
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:08,480
The US government is still open.

6
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:10,480
For the next 45 days at least.

7
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:12,280
It was looking like they were going to shut down,

8
00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:15,880
and at the 11th hour, House Republicans struck a deal with Democrats

9
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:20,240
to pass a temporary spending bill to keep the government from just literally turning off.

10
00:00:20,240 --> 00:00:25,240
The bill includes no money for Ukraine and like some money for disaster relief here in the US,

11
00:00:25,240 --> 00:00:28,040
which is kind of necessary right now actually.

12
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:31,160
What with all the disasters that are happening?

13
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:33,640
But it has pissed off the right flank and the Republican party,

14
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:37,360
who are now threatening to oust Kevin McCarthy, their party leader,

15
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:39,360
for simply working with the other party.

16
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:42,960
Right flank wanted to cut basically all spending, including disaster relief,

17
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:46,000
veteran aid, social security, food security,

18
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:48,240
basically everything that actually helps people.

19
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:51,240
Because for whatever reason, those are the things that are on the chopping block,

20
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:54,600
and not, you know, all of the military budget,

21
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,880
or the ridiculous amount of money that we spend on our health insurance system.

22
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:01,920
No, if we want to balance the budget, we have to cut veteran aid and food stamps.

23
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:06,720
Because who better to screw over than the people who serve the country and the hungry.

24
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:12,200
Anyway, always remember that a country is explicitly an economy and nothing else.

25
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:13,480
That's what a country is.

26
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:15,440
But yeah, this is only a 45 day extension.

27
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:17,800
Expect a part two to this story.

28
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:19,840
Thanksgiving is going to be fun.

29
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:24,560
Science people, Katalin Karakou and Drew Weissman have received the Nobel Prize

30
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:28,960
for science people, for physiology and medicine science specifically.

31
00:01:28,960 --> 00:01:31,520
Their prize is for their research into mRNA vaccines.

32
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:33,080
It's what the COVID vaccine uses.

33
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,920
It's essentially what allowed the vaccine to be developed so quickly

34
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:38,880
and has already been administered 13 billion times.

35
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:41,080
This is a really exciting bit of medical science

36
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:44,880
and could potentially lead to some significant advancements in quality of life

37
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:47,560
and eradication of other stuff in the future.

38
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:51,440
Their research was done like many years before the COVID outbreak ever started.

39
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:54,640
But now we're pretty happy they did that.

40
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:59,160
Have you ever seen those people that are on that device that's just like a big wheel

41
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:00,640
in the middle of a skateboard?

42
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:02,520
It's called a one wheel and it kills people.

43
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:04,920
At least four people have died from traumatic brain injuries

44
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:07,200
over the past handful of years from riding those things.

45
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:10,800
And the company has now recalled like 300,000 units.

46
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,600
They're specifically recalling the first couple of models that they have

47
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:17,000
and they're patching the newer models to have some sort of warning system

48
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,000
for when you might get, you know, wrecked.

49
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,840
They are explicitly saying if you have one of the original models,

50
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:23,600
don't ride it anymore, just stop it.

51
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:25,080
Buy the new one instead.

52
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:27,440
Or, you know, maybe follow my advice,

53
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,600
which is use literally any other form factor of transportation.

54
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:33,120
Look, if you've got a one wheel and you're really into it, go for it.

55
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:36,520
I'm not your dad yet, but I would recommend using at least a device

56
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:40,280
that has two wheels so you don't just, you know, hit a single pothole and die.

57
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:45,200
If you are a black bear in Japan, watch out for robot hell wolves.

58
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:46,200
This is not a joke.

59
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:49,800
Japan is using these hellish wolves that look like something out of a nightmare

60
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:51,200
to scare off bears.

61
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:53,640
As climate change is making it harder for bears to find food,

62
00:02:53,640 --> 00:02:57,000
they're getting a little too comfortable getting into population centers

63
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:58,440
and looking for food there.

64
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:00,520
And while Japan's population is aging,

65
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,320
the mixture of older people and bears

66
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,160
is not typically what you want to have in your country.

67
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:09,480
And so they basically took a stuffed wolf, put on glowing red eyes,

68
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,520
attach a speaker that's constantly playing scary wolf sounds,

69
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:14,280
and then put that on like an RC car

70
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:17,720
and it's just kind of driving around in the brush, scaring off bears.

71
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:19,680
You know, if it works, it works.

72
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:23,840
I can say that if I was scavenging for food in the Japanese countryside,

73
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:25,640
I would probably be scared off myself.

74
00:03:25,640 --> 00:03:29,080
On this day, October 2nd, instead of a history factoid,

75
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:32,400
I would like to let you know that there are 90 days left in the year.

76
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:34,840
So just take a second, think about how the year has been so far.

77
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:36,640
Think about the path ahead for you.

78
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:38,440
Is there anything you want to start? It's not too late.

79
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:41,520
But hey, you can also just catch a chill ass vibe.

80
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:44,360
Lightning round, three cops from the Baton Rouge Police Department

81
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:47,120
have been arrested over their torture warehouse.

82
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:48,560
Hopefully we'll see some more.

83
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaking of cops, cops in Las Vegas have arrested

84
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,400
who they believe to have been the murderer of Tupac.

85
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:54,160
Here's the weather.

86
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:58,000
Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI who makes chat GPT,

87
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,440
has expressed interest in replacing, quote,

88
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,040
median humans with AI.

89
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:06,080
That is the term that he uses to refer to normal people.

90
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,000
Median humans.

91
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:11,320
These people should not have control over the levers of our future,

92
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,760
a 16 year old boy in England has been arrested

93
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,360
for felling a 200 year old historic tree

94
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:19,800
that also appeared in the movie Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves.

95
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,400
After beginning to push ads in the results,

96
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:26,280
Bing's new conversational AI is now suggesting malware to people.

97
00:04:26,280 --> 00:04:29,560
The new iPhone 15 and 15 Pros are overheating

98
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,160
and Apple says that they can fix it with a software update.

99
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:34,320
And finally, for today, in its next update,

100
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:37,720
Stardew Valley will be getting official eight player co-op support,

101
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:39,440
among a bunch of other new stuff.

102
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:41,000
You can technically do that right now,

103
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:42,320
but it's not officially support.

104
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:43,600
That is all I have for you today.

105
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:44,920
Thank you so much for watching.

106
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,480
Please like, comment, subscribe, share all that stuff.

107
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:48,400
It really helps.

108
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:52,080
I do have to say that I will be canceling my Monday stream today.

109
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:53,160
I'm a bit under the weather.

110
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:56,800
I'm still recovering from getting both my covid and flu shot at the same time.

111
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:57,880
It hasn't been so bad.

112
00:04:57,880 --> 00:04:59,800
It's been easier than before.

113
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:02,160
But I do feel like I ran a marathon yesterday.

114
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:03,440
So I'm going to go rest up.

115
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:06,200
I'm probably going to do a live tomorrow afternoon for a bit longer.

116
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:07,160
So I hope to see you there.

117
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:09,480
Regardless, my name is Endeavorance.

118
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,840
I'll be back on Wednesday. Take care and be well.
