A note - during the Vietnam war, fire base hill tops were cleared by dropping large fuel bladders which broke open; the resulting fuel-air mixture was then detonated.

I enjoyed the transcript! And, I wouldn't have watched the video. The transcript is much more approachable both as to when I read it and as to how much I read (or quickly skim). The comment about just having the YouTube link seems spot on.

I like my subscription to the magazine. I appreciate their open sourcing the contents (it was a factor in subscribing) but other matters were of greater importance in making my decision.

The main one was that I'd enjoyed the writers' articles in their prior venture (which I also still read). Secondly, I thought the pricing of the digital subscription was reasonable, unlike others whose digital subscription price approaches that of the printed. Finally, I've begun to claw myself away from having to fondle the paper; a Kindle started me down the path and then I found a 10" tablet lets me easily read PDF magazines.
