Wakeful Video Weekend 2022-07-15 (11 videos)

Request: Please share with others. I, for example, can no longer share on Facebook, having been locked out of my account and search engines like Google hide posts like these.

Summary: Way too many informative videos found this week. I felt forced to put some aside for the next weekend.
