Re: My new YouTube channel

Heh, why did the Roman Empire fall? They didn't have internet. I honestly just get frustrated at people talking about societal collapse like it's some huge apocalypse. I'm not saying it's a walk in the park or anything, but there's definitely a whole spectrum here ranging from Czechoslovakia's mostl...

Re: My new YouTube channel

I'm a heck of a lot older and not much wiser and still kicking :) Thanks for pointing out that we're all older. I like to characterize it as we're sexier. Also, this video has a copyrgith claim against it, so hurry up and watch it before... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9dxmD18jc9k (Before I win,...

Re: My new YouTube channel

Heh I often think that 8 times out of 10 these youtube and tiktok people are the wrong people to put themselves in front of a camera. Obviously there's freedom of speech etc., but I'm pretty sure you guys have actually something to say. Any politics thread on these forums is more interesting than 9...

Re: My new YouTube channel

How about this one?

I'm particularly concerned about whether or not the audio filtering that sinewav suggested is actually there.

Re: My new YouTube channel

It's a good start! I can only second that. I like the scribbling of the title on the whiteboard, that is a nice touch. The second video is already some improvement, it is more to the point, more in focus. I'm still considering writing scripts, but I've seen a lot of successful channels work extempo...

There's a second video.

It's about post-scarcity.

Re: My new YouTube channel

That's probably my ceiling fan. I'll look into this "high pass filter" thing. :) I'll also make sure to listen to it in headphones or something, because I didn't hear any anomalies at all when I was editing.

Re: Best or worst idea? Getting a Velotaxi/Rikshaw for private use

Heh, just don't crash. It's not that hard. It's not that hard on any given specific day. To never crash is a lot harder. I'll give you that. I haven't crashed in the last five years (I'm rounding up, we're nearing March when I started this new odyssey of daily driving two wheeled motorized vehicles...

Re: Best or worst idea? Getting a Velotaxi/Rikshaw for private use

The motor is also not custom, but as it is a big hard to service block, it has to be sent to the manufacturer for any repairs. I forgot whether they even told us the manufacturer. That sounds like a standard issue electric motor. They're all "user serviceable", and I've gone into quite a ...

Re: Best or worst idea? Getting a Velotaxi/Rikshaw for private use

Well I'm not going to change any minds, but I am going to strongly object to the idea that scooters/motorcycles are dangerous. :) They're only dangerous if you crash. In the last 4.5 years that I've been riding as my daily driver (50cc, then 150cc, then 125cc, now 250cc), I've had just as many injur...

Re: Best or worst idea? Getting a Velotaxi/Rikshaw for private use

Get you a couple of 125-150cc Chinese scooters. Relatively inexpensive, as environmentally friendly as an ICE vehicle can be, and can easily carry Z-Girl on either Z-Man or Z-Woman's bikes. Top speeds around 70-80km/h (probably more and I'm doing the conversion factor wrong, I've pushed 'em up to 55...
