If I may ask, please join me in also remembering my good friend and former student, CPT Dave Fraser, KIA in Iraq on November 26, 2006. He was an extraordinary young man who was taken from us far too soon. Rest in peace, Dave.

Remembering my friend and former student CPT Dave Fraser, KIA in Iraq on November 26, 2006. You lived an exemplary life, Dave, but it was far too short. May it be said, "Well done, be thou at peace."

Woops! Sorry--you are correct. "Everyday Engineering" has 36; "Epic Engineering Failures" has 26. Still, you should watch "Everyday Engineering" too.

Try immersing the entire apparatus in a large tank of mineral oil. The damping effect will be excellent.

Oddly, increased toilet usage has been accompanied by cleaner clothing.

Thanks, Kevin! I loved developing this lecture, because it's an aspect of the medieval world that most people don't think much about.

I’m excited to announce that my new Great Courses lecture series—“Understanding the Marvels of Medieval Technology”—has just been released. In this course, you’ll learn about castles, cathedrals, catapults, carracks, clocks, cannons, and more—all from an engineering perspective. Link below.

My front door. As Trump sides with the Axis of Evil, it’s important for all of us to show our true colors.

Trump doesn't seem to recognize that Ukraine and the EU have agency. Putin and trump can concoct their ridiculous "peace" deal, but Zelenskyy will just tell them to pound sand. We can only hope that the EU is ready to step up to the plate.

Probably a former railroad bridge that was converted for automotive use by removing the rails and adding wooden sleepers. The steel girders are huge, so it's certainly strong enough. It would be easy and cheap to add a proper concrete deck--but, of course, ruZZia has other priorities.
