Sorry to nerd out, but this reminds me of a senior grad student when I was a first year physics grad student. He was talking about the "order of magnitude" class that some professor was able to set up as a fun class for fulfilling his teaching requirements. It involved calculating or estimating order of magnitude values and putting them in units of something you can relate to (e.g. distance in terms of football fields, or your height, energy in an hour of air conditioning, etc.). In the spirit of this class, this guy used his dick for length and then came up with some other size unit to convert to for homework he had to hand in. The diameter of the Milky Way galaxy is 5 * 10^19 of this guy's "dick units", apparently.

Is there something I am missing? I am using uBlock Origin on Firefox and Youtube works the same as always.

I should have been more specific. Yes, it is a wrapper around a closed source blob.

Well, TBF there is a lot of avenues to get locked into legacy software in python. I am still modifying and using Python2 code because the drivers and libraries for hardware are only available in python2 and the hardware developers wont spend the money and time to create Python3 libraries. So I am stuck using an airbridged, un-updated python2 environment until it gets to the point of updating/backwards engineering python3 drivers and libraries for all our hardware ourselves.

Oh no, evil see see pee authoritarian social credit score tactics. Surely all the anti-China libs have to leave Reddit now.
