One of the southern most outer Hebrides island called Barra, actually does have a pub called Castlebay Bar, which is connected to the hotel there but you don't need to be staying there to come in. My father and I did a heritage trip there in 2017 so I'm sure it aligns with the time of the post too.
I love that correlation website. You joking about reasons for the correlations is also a good example of how people can be convinced that there is a causation too. If you just talk about vague connections in a serious manner, a lot of people will just believe it even if the original premise is ridiculous.
CRTs do not have infite refresh rate, they run at the frequency of the power grid (50Hz in Europe, less than this video's fps). The reason CRTs are popular with retro gamers is that older consoles (up to PS2 era) had analogue outputs (Scart etc.) and newer TVs have to translate the analogue signal to digital to display, introducing a considerable amount of latency between console output and displayed picture and making the controls feel very sluggish. Another reason is that some old sprite based games made us of the CRT technology's specific behaviours. Those design tricks get lost on a modern display and can make the sprites and animation look at as intended.
@@Austin_Boath Yeah my bad. When I think of retro gaming, I default to console gaming, so I should correct myself to "CRT televisions, like the one shown in the video, run at the power grid frequency". I've heard of competitive PC gamers liking CRT monitors for their very low latencies. But nevertheless, as far as refresh rates, the highest refresh rate CRT monitors run into smear issues long before they can reach the 244Hz modern displays can achieve these days.
Old TV's (and clocks) had refresh rate tied to grid most likely to save on tubes that would be needed for oscillator, or they would have to use some crazy stuff like ECHxx, EBLxx which is basically tube that performs some important function (EBL is output pentode for audio, but has diode for signal demodulation) and then there is another piggybacking on it's cathode. As well there was chance that circuits in TV station and TV receiver would be on the same grid, thus synchronized. But that never was a thing when TV first appeared. But this seems to be only short lived as synchronizing signals were added to TV signal, they basically told the TV that another frame is being send and the electron ray was reset to starting point.

The map regarding the Pubs does not show the actual pubs, but only the pubs that are registered on the map service. So you can always add a pub there or unregister one. The map has nothing to do with the actual age of the pub, only with the time the pub was marked or unmarked...
What if those "missing" pubs have been._closed_ recently rather than open? Thousands of pubs closed in the UK since 2010. At least 10 in my town alone.A small town of about 30,000.

The closed ones were demolished for housing or turned into mini supermarkets, pharmacies and, in two cases, posh wine bars (which I cannot in any honesty count as "pubs").

I live in rural Maine. We have moose. And depression. We do have a lot of bars and stuff...we just don't call them "pubs" unless they're going for an Elizabethan or Victorian England aesthetic (or Irish).

You can't really trust to find pubs in Google Maps. I tried this and my nearest pub wasn't listed, but many places that weren't pubs, like service stations, were listed.
That pub map shows a route: this map is the result of a network analyzation project to calculate the shortest route between ... i guess 27k or so pubs. I refer to an article in the Guardian for this map when teaching about network analytics.
You were right at first about the CRTs before you corrected yourself, they don't have latency because they don't need to run the image data through computer chips like LCDs do. Also why the fancier the effects you can get on an LCD screen, the higher response rate is. Though that's not as much the reason why retro gamers want them, unless they're speedrunners. Usually it's for a more accurate retro experience. Especially for CGA graphics, those teal and magenta DOS graphics you might have seen screenshots of and thought "wow, that's ugly". But if you hook it up to a CRT monitor with a composite cable, the graphics look much better overall, and more colours "appear" due to some technical trickery of how they layered colours because using analog signals screws up colour blending in a way that is consistent and was used by many games of the time. Meanwhile if you use a more "accurate" signal that doesn't lose data, you just get the ugly teal and magenta graphics because it's not screwing up anymore. Also the pixels aren't quite as chunky feeling. And then there's also the aspect ratio and scaling, like how watching a 144p video on a 1080p screen looks really awful, but watching it on a 144p screen looks great.
You are really underestimating the amount of pubs there are in the country. My small town has four...FOUR in less than 100 meters, next town over has 3 off the top of my head with a could others in tiny villages. For reference neither town exceeds 3000 people
