The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
I need a constant stream of new youtube videos to watch.
Here are some of the ones I watch currently:
Townsends makes historical vids focusing on daily living and especially cooking.
Shawn Woods makes and tests mice traps. Occasional pictures of dead mice, but Youtube has been cracking down so he's switched to some other mice control related tests. Smells and noises in particular.
Hmm, a bit too much history, what else is there?
Criken2 makes comedic gameplay videos like a million other youtubers.
Barnabydixon makes cool puppets. This video also allow me to talk about Chris Hadfield, his son runs the channel Rare Earth that is also pretty cool, but the latest vid was already posted in the last thread so I figure I won't post it now.
Jimsterling makes games journalism and is not to everyone's taste.
What youtube videos do you watch? What other videos do you watch? The forum supports embedding of vimeo, instagram, twitter, maybe a few more? No facebook video embeding though, which is a shame, as there's lot of neat vids there too.
Quick tip: Adding ?list=- to the end of the video url will make it show the title. Handy!

I'm gonna keep stumping for this guy until the heat death of the universe, and it's not just because he's also an Aussie and he has the same name as me (Chris)...
No, it's because he's a fucking artisan, and his videos are incredibly calming and if you're in any way at all interested in machining, clocks, toolmaking, or history then they're chock full of interesting information.

I want to give Townsend the benefit of the doubt and their videos aren't nearly as bad as their store, but as someone whose career is portraying the 18th century it's a bit troubling to me how popular they're getting. One of these days I need to sit down and watch more of their videos and really fact check them, it's possible I am biased because of the fact that a lot of what they sell us not particularly good or authentic. But while the videos of theirs I have watched weren't egregiously bad, I have a hard time fully trusting their research.
I have been wanting to get this off my chest. Sorry.

I have not gone to their store
But where he wants to go is that scary ideal of larping. In Wyoming in the City of Green River there is a revival where people larping as fur trappers and other mountain men of the late1700' to mid 1800's meet and show off skills of the era and such
Just there are people way into it like there was a line and they are way past larping to all but living the lifestyle.
I do like watching his cooking of the era videos as they are interesting but you could do that for any era outside of the modern and get the same effect. It's just really interesting what people considered food.

I mean I am probably pretty close to what you describe, too - not only is it my job, I do it as a hobby, and have picked up various skills like 18th century shoemaking and cooking - but a lot of those people are doing stuff that is frankly inauthentic and applying their own ideas to what they think the past (and particularly the "frontier", which is absurdly mythologized) was without basing it on actual research and documentation.
But um this is probably not to place for this conversation~

No the people I was talking about really tried as best as they could to live the lifestyle of a furtrapper of the early 1800's when Jacques La Ramée lived in the area {nearly everything in the state is named after him county, a city a mountain range, a river, a valley, a stretch of grassland, and much much more as Laramie
But there is a vast difference between people larping it and people deep living the lifestyle of it as that is chasing an ideal that can never be caught.

My wife recently discovered this channel, don't ask me how she found it because it's called 李子柒
Anyway the channel is about this young chinese lady who lives in the Chinese countryside with her grandmother and makes videos about everything from growing and foraging and cooking food, building furniture, making clothes, caring for animals and more. The videos have super high production value and are genuinely beautiful and I don't know how they're getting produced or who's making them but they sure are nice to watch
Boy, ads have been pretty terrible lately. On PC, minute-long ads with no warning, sometimes 2 in a row (which sometimes reset my Quality settings). On phone, a bunch of ads where Loud YouTube Influencers react to draws on anime-girl-based gatcha games. Not a great time.
I'm about ten minutes into this and it's gorgeously produced plus the info contained on motors and mechanical tidbits is presented incredibly approachably. Strongly recommended even for the non-gearheads in the audience.

I am constantly amazed that Yves Rossy is not only still alive, but improving his designs. They've built a launch 'pier'/platform that lets them take off without the aid of another aircraft now.

I did not know how little I needed to see a Mr. Mime up close.
Nah. Its healthy. He's an Instagram pet model thing, his name is Wilfred Warrior. It also means that video is probably staged.

Him being from "Leaventown" is a little on the nose, even for Pokemon location names.
