First of all, if you like clowns, that's fine with me, but —what makes a clown a clown— is not —an amount of talent, superior to that of types of performers that get less recognition,— but —the fact that they dress and act like complete whack jobs.—
Granted, —the ones that juggle and do magic and ride unicycles— are entertaining, but they're only entertaining because —magic, juggling, and the ability to ride a unicycle— are entertaining (and the latter two activities require —skill, practice and talent that deserves recognition)— without dressing and acting like —a prostitute who put on her make up while she was high on crack.—
Now you can't juggle or ride a unicycle without being afraid people will think you're a clown or training to become one. Both of those things require —skill, practice, and talent that deserve recognition,— but you can't do any of them without looking like —an untalented comedian who puts all of his efforts into looking and acting like a complete moron,— who makes people feel scared or and/or awkward to be around because of —his/her uncanny valleyish attire and strange mannerisms.— And yes, I act like a complete moron on my video game streams, but I don't want most people to think —all video game streams— are like mine.
That would be like if —everyone learning how play a video game— felt like everyone assumed that they were practicing to be like me. Also if you like my streams, that's fine and I appreciate your patronage.
So in conclusion, clowns do not deserve any more recognition than other children's entertainers.

On CNN, can we talk about something other than the fact that we hate Trump?
Ok, I'm not saying Trump is good, I'm not saying Trump is bad. —Whether he's good or bad— is an important issue, but not the point that I'm trying to make via this blog post. My point is that CNN spends way too much time talking about how much they hate Trump.
I don't mind if CNN hates Trump; what irritates me is the fact that they say it over and over and god damn over again like a fucking HeadOn™ commercial. That's what CNN sounds like to me now, "Trump, remove directly from the White House, Trump, remove directly from the White House, Trump, remove directy from the White House." If you hated Trump, you would still get sick of hearing that. If CNN wants to constantly express —their hatred for Trump,— they should put —a non-moving watermark that says, "we hate Trump"— on screen. That way, they can assure —people who are paranoid of CNN becoming pro-Trump— of how they feel without being annoying to —the people who don't need them to repeat themselves endlessly to trust them that they hate Trump—

Battery Charger Life Hack With More Detail
Ok, let's go over what we've already established:
Some of you might have devices that take longer to charge than to deplete. For example, if you have a device that takes 4 hours for the battery to run out and 15 hours to recharge. How do you use it non-stop? I have the answer. The answer is basically a modification of the duty cycle theorem on wikipedia.
But make sure that while most —devices that are charged by plugging them in rather than removing the batteries— (such as bluetooth headsets/headphones and cell phones and many other devices not listed) are safe to leave plugged in and left unattended, —BATTERIES THAT HAVE TO BE REMOVED FROM THEIR DEVICES— SHOULD NEVER BE CHARGED UNATTENDED UNLESS —THE CHARGER AND THE BATTERIES— DOCUMENTATION EXPLICITLY STATES THAT IT IS SAFE TO DO SO.
Before I continue, let me remind you that this applies to both single batteries, or groups of batteries.
Some of you may be thinking, "why don't I use multiple batteries and multiple chargers?" That's correct. But we need to know how many batteries and how many chargers we need.
Here's how we figure it out:
We'll use c the variable for our charge time and u as the variable for our usage time. First we use the formula:
(c+u)/u then we round up if there is a remainder. So in this cause c=15 and u=4 let's plug it into our formula:
(15+4)/4=4.75
We will round up 4.75 and get 5 for the amount of batteries.
Also the charger amount = (the battery amount-1).
Now as I said before will use a is the charger amount and b as the battery amount.
Now some of you might think that we only need 4 batteries in this example I will now show you what happens if we use 4 instead of 5. Keep in mind that we will not start charging a battery until it's dead, this is so that we spend as little as possible switching, so we will log the progress of our imaginary batteries in increments of 4 hours.
So at the start (0):
Battery A is full, placing it into device
Battery B is full
Battery C is full
Battery D is full
Four hours later (1):
Battery A is dead, placed in charger 0 hours ago
Battery B is full, placing it into device
Battery C is full
Battery D is full
Four hours later (2):
Battery A is dead, placed in charger 4 hours ago
Battery B is dead, placed in charger 0 hours ago
Battery C is full, placing it into device
Battery D is full
Four hours later (3):
Battery A is dead, placed in charger 8 hours ago
Battery B is dead, placed in charger 4 hours ago
Battery C is dead, placed in charger 0 hours ago
Battery D is full, placing it into device
Four hours later (4):
Battery A is dead, placed in charger 12 hours ago
Battery B is dead, placed in charger 8 hours ago
Battery C is dead, placed in charger 4 hours ago
Battery D is dead, placed in charger 0 hours ago
Ok now we have a problem, we've reached stage 4, meaning we've depleted 4 batteries (since our first stage was stage 0) and all of our batteries are dead before our first is fully recharged. Battery A is closest to being charged, but we need a 5th battery so that we can use our controller until then. So let's list stage 4 again, but this time, let's add a new battery and pretend it was there all along, let's call it, Battery E.
Four hours later (4):
Battery A is dead, placed in charger 12 hours ago
Battery B is dead, placed in charger 8 hours ago
Battery C is dead, placed in charger 4 hours ago
Battery D is dead, placed in charger 0 hours ago
Battery E is full, placed into device.
So in this version of stage 4, battery E is in the device ans we still haven't run out of batteries. Also notice that because 4 batteries were full at the beginning, 4 chargers were available until Battery D died. This means that if Battery E was dead and started being charged at stage 0, it would've been fully charged by stage 4, since 4 stages of charging times 4 hours>15 hours of charging. So we only need 4 chargers.
Four hours later (5):
Battery A is full, placed into device
Battery B is dead, placed in charger 12 hours ago
Battery C is dead, placed in charger 8 hours ago
Battery D is dead, placed in charger 4 hours ago
Battery E is dead, placed in charger 0 hours ago
So now we're at stage 5 and Battery A is fully charged again, so we can start using it again. Also it's no longer in a charger so Battery E can go into the charger it was just removed from so we don't need more than 4 chargers.
Let's see if we we run out of batteries or chargers four hours later.
Four hours later (6):
Battery A is dead, placed in charger 0 hours ago
Battery B is full, placed into device
Battery C is dead, placed in charger 12 hours ago
Battery D is dead, placed in charger 8 hours ago
Battery E is dead, placed in charger 4 hours ago
So now we know that in this scenario, as soon as a battery dies, a battery becomes full or is already full and a charger becomes available. It should also be noted that when you start using the device, not all batteries have to be fully charged; in this exampled, only one needs to be fully charged and in use, one needs to have been charged for 12 hours, another for 8, another for 4, and another has to have been just placed into the charger.
As a final note, you can keep the charged batteries in the charger until they're needed.
Some of you might have devices that take longer to charge than to deplete. For example, if you have a device that takes 4 hours for the battery to run out and 15 hours to recharge.

The Monty Hall Problem With a Simpler Explanation
Ok, let's replace the goats with red boxes.. The red boxes have 0 gold bars in them. Now let's replace the car with a green box, the green box has 1 gold bar inside of it. Now I will list how many gold bars that you can get if you always pick door 1 and always switch in 3 different box configurations.
First we have our first scenario, which has a 1/3 chance of happening if we always pick door 1:
1st and most confusing scanario: Door 1: Green Box, Door 2: Red Box, Door 3: Red Box.
Now if pick door 1 and switch from it. We have a 0% chance of getting a green box —The chances of us getting a green box— are the only chances that are relevant.
2nd scenario: Door 1: Red Box, Door 2: Green Box, Door 3: Red Box.
Now MONTY CAN ONLY LET US SWITCH TO THE GREEN BOX. So we have a 100% chance of getting the green box.
3rd scenario: Door 1: Red Box, Door 3: Red Box, Door 2: Green Box.
Again MONTY CAN ONLY LET US SWITCH TO THE GREEN BOX. So we have a 100% chance of getting the green box.
So let's recap: Scenario 1: 0% chance of winning, Scenario 2: 100% chance of winning, Scenario 3: 100% chance of winning. So if we always switch (or always stay) we either definitely win or definitely lose. And if we always switch, we definitely win in 2 out of the 3 scenarios.

The worst pencil sharpener ever
Ok, so I've looked online for examples of why electric pencil sharpeners are impractical and in all fairness, that's not true unless you're sharpening a whole bunch of pencils in one sitting. Then it depends on the sharpener and some sharpeners have cooling fans so the sharpener doesn't overheat and it allows for continuous use. But if you have a bunch of pencil to sharpen and you want an electric sharpener that's absolutely dreadful for your project look no further than the LEDAH 222 Electric Office Pencil Sharpener.
Here is a link to the webpage https://www.especiallyoffice.com/shop/contents/en-us/d94_Pencil_Sharpeners.html and here is a screenshot of the webpage with some of the text hightlighted:
Ok, at first glance it just looks like a normal electric pencil sharpener except when you look at the price, $94.14! So now we know that it's an expensive pencil sharpener so for that price, it must be pretty good. I'm sure it can go all day without overheating, making it great for what we need, why else would a pencil sharpener cost that much? But then let's look at the duty cycle. It's the second thing I've highlighted.
Now the Duty Cycle means how long it for before it has to shut down / how long it has to shut down. For example this device can run for 4 minutes before it has to shut off for 30 minutes (probably because it takes 4 minutes to overheat and takes 30 minutes to cool down.) So it's ALMOST like a battery that runs for 4 minutes and then has to be recharged and take 30 minutes to recharge. So it's the same math as the previous blog post, but we're not gonna go over it again, I'll just cut to the result.
The result is 9 pencil sharpeners for continuous use. That's 9 time's the price of $94.14, so will end up having to pay $847.26 if we actually want to buy more than one of these for continuous use (if you don't believe me, I'll explain it in the next paragraph.)
So if you don't believe me about the Duty Cycle, here's a runthrough of what would've happened if you had a whole bunch of pencils that you had to sharpen non-stop. Think if it as the script for a very boring movie.
At the start (1)
Sharpener 1 is in use
Four minutes later (2)
Sharpener 1 has overheated 0 minutes ago
Sharpener 2 is in use
Four minutes later (3)
Sharpener 1 has overheated 4 minutes ago
Sharpener 2 has overheated 0 minutes ago
Sharpener 3 is in use
Four minutes later (4)
Sharpener 1 has overheated 8 minutes ago
Sharpener 2 has overheated 4 minutes ago
Sharpener 3 has overheated 0 minutes ago
Sharpener 4 is in use
Four minutes later (5)
Sharpener 1 has overheated 12 minutes ago
Sharpener 2 has overheated 8 minutes ago
Sharpener 3 has overheated 4 minutes ago
Sharpener 4 has overheated 0 minutes ago
Sharpener 5 is in use
Four minutes later (6)
Sharpener 1 has overheated 16 minutes ago
Sharpener 2 has overheated 12 minutes ago
Sharpener 3 has overheated 8 minutes ago
Sharpener 4 has overheated 4 minutes ago
Sharpener 5 has overheated 0 minutes ago
Sharpener 6 is in use
Four minutes later (7)
Sharpener 1 has overheated 20 minutes ago
Sharpener 2 has overheated 16 minutes ago
Sharpener 3 has overheated 12 minutes ago
Sharpener 4 has overheated 8 minutes ago
Sharpener 5 has overheated 4 minutes ago
Sharpener 6 has overheated 0 minutes ago
Sharpener 7 is in use
Four minutes later (8)
Sharpener 1 has overheated 24 minutes ago
Sharpener 2 has overheated 20 minutes ago
Sharpener 3 has overheated 16 minutes ago
Sharpener 4 has overheated 12 minutes ago
Sharpener 5 has overheated 8 minutes ago
Sharpener 6 has overheated 4 minutes ago
Sharpener 7 has overheated 0 minutes ago
Sharpener 8 is in use
Four Minutes later (9)
Sharpener 1 has overheated 28 minutes ago
Sharpener 2 has overheated 24 minutes ago
Sharpener 3 has overheated 20 minutes ago
Sharpener 4 has overheated 16 minutes ago
Sharpener 5 has overheated 12 minutes ago
Sharpener 6 has overheated 8 minutes ago
Sharpener 7 has overheated 4 minutes ago
Sharpener 8 has overheated 0 minutes ago
Sharpener 9 is in use
Four Minutes Later (10)
Sharpener 1 is in use (it cooled down two minutes earlier, but during that time, we had to
use Sharpener 9, so we still need 9 sharpeners.)
Sharpener 2 has overheated 28 minutes ago
Sharpener 3 has overheated 24 minutes ago
Sharpener 4 has overheated 20 minutes ago
Sharpener 5 has overheated 16 minutes ago
Sharpener 6 has overheated 12 minutes ago
Sharpener 7 has overheated 8 minutes ago
Sharpener 8 has overheated 4 minutes ago
Sharpener 9 has overheated 0 minutes ago
Notice how we've added 1 sharpener for each phase until phase 10, that's because we need to have at least 1 sharpener available at all times. And our first sharpener (Sharpener 1) doesn't cool down until we've overheated 8 others while waiting for that to happen so 1 + 8 = 9 as in Sharpener 9, the last sharpener to be added before Sharpener 1 can be used again. If you're wondering why we don't need more, here's what happens in the next step.
Four Minutes Later (11)
Sharpener 1 has overheated 0 minutes ago
Sharpener 2 has cooled and is now in use
Sharpener 3 has overheated 28 minutes ago
Sharpener 4 has overheated 24 minutes ago
Sharpener 5 has overheated 20 minutes ago
Sharpener 6 has overheated 16 minutes ago
Sharpener 7 has overheated 12 minutes ago
Sharpener 8 has overheated 4 minutes ago
Sharpener 9 has overheated 0 minutes ago
So each time a sharpener cools, —the sharpener that overheated after it— will have cooled for long enough that by the time the former sharpener overheats, the latter sharpener will have cooled. For example, in this case, after by the time Sharpener 2 has overheated, Sharpener 3 will have cooled,

Battery Charger Life Hack (updated 8/24/2017)
Some of you might have devices that take longer to charge than to deplete. For example, if you have a device that takes 4 hours for the battery to run out and 15 hours to recharge. How do you use it non-stop? I have the answer. The answer is basically a modification of the duty cycle theorem on wikipedia.
But make sure that while most —devices that are charged by plugging them in rather than removing the batteries— (such as bluetooth headsets/headphones and cell phones and many other devices not listed) are safe to leave plugged in and left unattended, —BATTERIES THAT HAVE TO BE REMOVED FROM THEIR DEVICES— SHOULD NEVER BE CHARGED UNATTENDED UNLESS —THE CHARGER AND THE BATTERIES— DOCUMENTATION EXPLICITLY STATES THAT IT IS SAFE TO DO SO.
Before I continue, let me remind you that this applies to both single batteries, or groups of batteries.
Some of you may be thinking, "why don't I use multiple batteries and multiple chargers?" That's correct. But we need to know how many batteries and how many chargers we need.
Here's how we figure it out:
We'll use c the variable for our charge time and u and the variable for our usage time. First we use the formula:
(c+u)/u then we round up if there is a remainder. So in this cause c=15 and u=4 let's plug it into our formula:
(15+4)/4=4.75
We will round up 4.75 and get 5 for the amount of batteries.
Also the charger amount is the battery amount-1.
Now if you don't believe me, I will show you why a later blog, but just remember, in that later blog, we will use a as the charger amount and b as the battery amount.

(c+u)/u then we round up if there is a remainder. So in this cause c=15 and u=4 let's plug it into our formula:
(15+4)/4=4.75
We will round up 4.75 and get 5 for the amount of batteries.
Also the charger amount is the battery amount-1.
Now if you don't believe me, I will show you why a later blog, but just remember, in that later blog, we will use a as the charger amount and b as the battery amount.

If you spin a wheel real fast, how big would it have to be for the outer perimeter to move at the speed of light?
Ok, some of you probably have wondered, "If I have a large enough wheel," would I be able to spin it fast enough for the outer diameter to move faster than the speed of light? Well unfortunately you wouldn't because the laws of physics would prevent the wheel from spinning fast enough, but if it was possible for a wheel to spin at that speed, here's how big it would be.
Now its size would be dependent on RPMs or Revolutions Per Minute, which means the amount of times that the spinning object spins 360 degrees within 1 minute. Now the lower the amount of RPMs a wheel spins at, the larger the wheel has to be for it's outermost perimeter to be travelling at the speed of light. So we will use an RPM that someone actually was able to spin something at; so according to this website https://www.cnet.com/news/fastest-man-made-spinning-object-clocks-in-at-600m-rpm/ , the fastest spinning man-made object spins at 600,000,000 RPM.
So a quick Bing search indicates that the speed of light is exactly 299792458 Meters per second, but since RPMs are in Minutes, we will multiply that by 60 to get 17987547480 Meters per minute.
So now we want to take the circumference 17987547480 (the speed of light in Meters Per MInute) and convert it into a diameter. this WILL TELL US THE DIAMETER WE NEED AT 1 RPM, NOT —THE DIAMETER AT 600,000,000 THAT'S OUR FINAL answer.— according to this website http://circumferencecalculator.net/circumference-to-diameter-calculator , Diameter=Circumference/pi or as it says on the website D = C/π.
So let's take 17987547480 (the speed of light in Meters per Minute) and divide by pi to get —about 5725614191.0843307106666780005284 Meters of diameter FOR 1 RPM.— Since we're gonna be spinning the wheel at 600,000,000 RPM, we can take —the previous diameter— and divide by —600,000,000; the RPM we're using— to get our final answer; 9.5426903184738845177777966675473 Meters, but let's round that up to 9.543 Meters and convert it to feet by dividing it by .3048 (the amount of feet in a Meter) and we get our final answer:
About 31.30906 feet.
Here's the theorem:
((17987547480/pi)/rpm)/.3048=Diameter in feet
Now its size would be dependent on RPMs or Revolutions Per Minute, which means the amount of times that the spinning object spins 360 degrees within 1 minute.

The Mind Games that Therapists Play
So if you've ever been to a
psychiatrist's office, you know it's the worst. You gotta talk to
this asshole every fucking three months about every fucking thing
that happened since the last time you talked to him, and there's only
one thing you want to say to him, JUST GIVE ME MY FUCKING MEDICINE
AND STOP WASTING MY TIME. But
you don't say that because you need that medication more than you
need your patience with this asshole. The other reason is because he
fucking plays mind games with you so you don't talk about anything
with him.
Here's
how it works, you might think of telling him about all things other
than him that piss you off, but that never happens and here's why.
Right
when you come into the building, you go to the waiting room, EVERY
WALL IS BLUE AND YOU FEEL SUDDENLY STONED like you smoked a joint,
which is bad because you can't talk about —anything that irritates
you— if you're relaxed.
Then
you wait like a fucking hour and the walls are covered with the
ugliest artwork every and all you can think about is how ugly it is
how you hate it and want to set the office on fire. But —that
angry beast that was just spawned— is being drowned in blue paint,
but it just doesn't die and your mind putting all of its energy into
fighting with itself and you can't think about shit.
Then
after you get to talk to the doctor, it just gets worse, you're not
looking at the artwork anymore, but you still can't focus on jack
shit, because the walls are blue in the doctor's office as well, and
he has all this tacky shit on the wall like a fucking thrift store
exploded in it.
Then
he asks you, "how are you doing?" And that's where they
got you, before you went into the building, you thought that you were
gonna go on a big rant about everything that pissed you off, but
after all the distractions and the fucking blue paint, all you're
thinking is, "Who am I? Where am I? Who are you?" Then
you tell him that everything is great because there's still a small
part of you that wants to escape from the madhouse that you're in but
not
until you get your pills.
So
you say as little as possible about what's going on, because that's
—all that comes to mind,— your psychiatrist is lazy and selfish!
he doesn't want to hear about your problems, he wants to show you all
the ugly shit he has.
So
I thought of a solution, I wrote down on my phone before I even left
for the fucking office, —every fucking thing I wanted to talk
about— and man it was fucking awesome. He told me I was right,
—the cunt rags who piss me of are wrong,— and that was just music
to my ears, too bad I couldn't fucking enjoy it amongst the
distracting imagery, so I found a solution. Now I'm gonna wear a
pear of laser safety glasses, because they make everything look red
and so his mind games aren't gonna work on me any longer.
