      I noticed during the grad student section, they launched into a conversation that wasn’t strictly on topic that was quickly turned back around, and it seemed like conversation did happen but was cut out in the editing process. I get that these are already 20+ minutes long, so I wouldn’t want to make it too long winded, but it would be very cool to have an unabridged version of these videos that included the entire discussion without any editing; especially when you get to the higher difficulty explanations.

    No need for this college student to only get 5 hours of sleep, college is not hard enough to warrant that.

    Even though this expert did not explain one concept throughout the video, it was still extremely engaging and interesting, and I think I actually prefer that than staying on only one subset of the subject matter.

    You say what you want, but no one will convince me that this guy isn’t actually Ryan Reynolds in disguise. Unless you can prove that it’s really Nick Swardson’s older brother.
