Poke a hole in the side of a clear jug near the bottom. Tape the hole shut. Fill the jug with water. Place the jug on the edge of a table and place a bucket on the floor to catch the water. Get a laser pointer. Be careful because it is a laser pointer. Take off the tape and shoot the laser through the jug on the other side and through the hole.

What happens is you basically created a fiber optic cable out of water. The laser will bounce off the 'edges' of the water down into the bucket. You will see the light from the laser in the bottom of the bucket. This is a really simple and fun way to explain how fiber optics work.

Bad security, Tencent, paying dev's for exclusivity... All that stuff sucks ass to begin with, but the EGS is just an inferior product. So instead of trying to make a better product to compete with other digital distribution platforms, they just pay dev's for exclusivity. It's anti consumer and shitty and I don't like it.

Hi Nick, Healthcare is one of the biggest topics in US politics. Most people want major healthcare reform, but they don't really know the best way to do it. The United States is in a weird position where our healthcare is not a free market, nor is it a single payer controlled system.

Have you or anyone you know collected data for evidence-based policy making on healthcare? What does the data say we should do?

Thanks for doing the AMA. Why do you say the wage gap isn't a myth and then go on to give examples debunking its existence? That seems contradictory. Jordan Peterson claims it is a myth and there are over 20+ reasons for it. One of the biggest being women tend to choose family over career. What are your thoughts on Jordan Peterson?
