I've seen a bunch of these dog grooming videos.  I find them strangely thought provoking, mostly on issues related to craftsmanship and job satisfaction.

She seems happy, competent, and proud of her work.  Is there way to distill that and transfer it to the corporate setting?

(TL;DW: he overall is impressed with the historical accuracy of events, but isn't happy with the movie being dedicated to both American and Japanese soldiers considering the war crimes of IJN and the regime they fought for)

The British Simpsons one is pretty good.

I have no idea where to put this, but it made laugh so much, I had to share:

It's a Danish road safety ad.  In Danish, with english subtitles.

I'm not sure who the target audience is for that ad, but I certainly enjoyed it.

That was great.

I posted this one a while ago, I think, but it popped into my feed again, and it's still amazing.

A short homage to the game TIE-Fighter, animated in the style of 1980s sci-fi anime. The detailing and animations are crazy good in this one.

Great discussion about US, Soviet, and German armored production during WW2:

Nothing new per se, but some new (to me) insight into some of the details around the actual manufacturing strategies.

The anti baby-killing movement in Japan.

Nice little video about the bizzarely horrific ye olde Japanese practice of mabiki (sending newborn babies back) and efforts to tackle it.

That actually was an excellent presentation, now that I had a chance to view it.  Maybe a little bit playing to the audience, but some fascinating nuts and bolts stuff (literally:  the T-34 in the British tank Museum was sent out with the minimum number of bolts needed to keep the armor on; why waste bolts?).

Yeah, the comment that the average T-34 lasted like 36 hours once it reached the front, and only 12 hours in combat makes you realize that a really reliable transmission that will last a long time makes no damn sense.

When I saw the tank (and for a long time afterwards) I thought that the missing bolts were missing because the Soviets couldn't find enough good workers to put in all the bolts, and that therefor they were forced to send out tanks put together by people that didn't know how tanks were properly put together.  After seeing that presentation, the missing bolts make a lot more sense:  why put them in when the same worker can be putting in necessary bolts in the next tank.  Why change the plate to have less bolt holes when that would delay production (even if infitessimally) and the existing plates worked well enough.

The Soviet versus German approaches to AFV production is pretty much the poster child for "better is the enemy of good enough."

This is great "But it will mess up my braids" 

We should definitely do the same bike helmet approach here.
