A Monday Medley of Videos

The History Guy (10 min.)


Some advice for those carrying with a concealed carry license if stopped by the police. The primary point is that you should hand over your CCL with the driver's license instead of saying something like "I have a gun" which might elicit an undesirable response. 



Some advice on what to say to police in the aftermath of a self-defense shooting. Basically, you need to make sure that the responding police know you were the "victim" and to point out potential witnesses and evidence. Good advice from one of the premier experts on the lawful use of lethal force in the United States. 


German success in invading France was largely a result of the failure of the allied military leadership.


"Pluto Might Have a Liquid Water Ocean?!"--SciShow News (7-1/2 min.)
A discussion not only about the evidence of a water ocean, but a hypothesis as to why it hasn't frozen.


A round-up of news on private launch ventures, as well as a look at NASA's plans to return to the Moon.


"Revealed Photos Show Something Huge May be Hidden in Ancient Egypt – Lost Civilizations & Egyptians"--Bright Insight (19 min.). To make a long story short, one of the host's viewers sent him photographs taken at the Temple of Hathor in Egypt purporting to show what appear to be the top of columns buried beneath the floor of the temple, and only recently discovered during a renovation. While the host does his best to stretch the video out and make this seem mysterious, the fact is that it is common for religious structures to be erected over the remains of older structures: the Aztecs largest pyramids were built over older pyramids; Muslims have transformed churches into Mosques or built over the foundations of churches; churches in Europe were sometimes erected over older pagan sites; etc.
