Beard Meats Food – Guy from Leeds UK does food challenges, a la “Man vs. Food”, but with a better personality.
Captain Steven Markovich – this is a retread from a previous article, because he deserves way more than the 15k subscribers he has. One of his lines: “A318 – short, stumpy, but gets the job done, ifyouknowhatimean.”
Ryan Hall, Y’all – Weather nerd. He also does livestreams of severe weather with a team of chasers. Detailed nerdy forecasts. Lots of disaster relief charitable work.
Anna Cramling – cute Swedish young lady plays chess
Boone Bake – ASMR baking channel with very little baking. Most of her stuff uses gelatin, hence “very little baking”. I have modified a couple of her recipes and they are delicious!
CLR Bruce Rivers – MN criminal lawyer reacts to various videos of and about criminals. His motto is “stop self-snitching”, he has a revolver on his desk next to him during his videos, and even his ad reads are funny.
DEYOCLUB – another of the growing scambaiting YouTube community. Canadian-LatinO guy baits scammers with funny accents.
shurap – bladesmith in Ukraine who makes weapons out of various unusual materials, such as Russian tank gun barrels and fish hooks.

Let us know if you see any steers or queers. The movies tell me that Texas is where they come from.
Ill have to check out captain Steve. I like https://www.youtube.com/@74gear for my airline industry fetish.
I’m off 74Gear these days…he said he was going to do more vlog-style content, then just does more reaction videos. Zzzzzzzz….
Yeah I am going through his older stuff, so I do see more reaction videos. Though do enjoy his reactions to idiot social media posts, like the speed tape on the Spirt flight.
I would put Roger Victor on the list, but he doesn’t seem to produce much content these days

Ugh. Looks like our horrible drought may have broken. I am off to doodle in the yard, some of that doodling involves cleaning out rain barrels.

Today, in fatuous nonsense
The shift to remote work during the pandemic has not only changed our daily routines but also had profound effects on our brains. The quiet, controlled environment of home offices has conditioned us to work in silence, free from the constant hum of office chatter, ringing phones, and clattering keyboards. This shift has made us more susceptible to distractions when we return to the traditional office environment.
The brain is a highly adaptable organ, constantly changing in response to our environment and behavior, a phenomenon known as neuroplasticity. When we work from home, our brains adapt to the quieter, less distracting environment. We become more attuned to the subtle sounds of our home surroundings—the hum of the refrigerator, the ticking of a clock, the chirping of birds outside the window. These sounds become the backdrop of our workday, and our brains learn to tune them out, allowing us to focus on our tasks.
However, this adaptation comes with a trade-off. As we become more accustomed to the quiet of home, our ability to filter out the louder, more varied noises of the office environment weakens. Our brains, conditioned for the quiet of home, struggle to adjust.
Over the past five quarters, we’ve witnessed a concerning trend: a steady decrease in productivity. While there are undoubtedly multiple factors at play, one major culprit stands out—the cacophony of the office environment that accompanies the return to the office.
Another laptop mandarin who apparently has never actually worked in the real world.
Being there is not optional for the vast majority of people.
I want to beat Gleb senseless with a red Swingline stapler.
👍
Look. Our brains can only adapt one way. We can’t go back, it’s impossible.
Once you stop riding a bike, you totally forget how.

CGPGrey is (I think) an American teacher ex-pat in London. Lots of his videos are fun/interesting/entertaining.
https://www.youtube.com/@MontemayorChannel
Montemayor does military history. He’s really fun to listen to. The Battle of Midway series (3 videos, I think) are what got me interested in him.
Didn’t recognize the name (Montemayor), but clicking on the link, I realized I’ve watched his Battle of Midway videos. Really great.
I’ve watched Ryan Hall livestreaming when there’s been severe weather in our region. Can confirm he and his storm chasers are good!
Hey, Red! Your were curious about Bad Moon Rising? It is an early Sonic Youth album https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PKBtVe-krtM
Warning, I don’t think this is your kinda music.
Needs more accordian.
Thanks! Knew it wasn’t the CCR song. 🙂
As far as Youtube, I like Walnut and Steel. He does a lot with older .22s and airguns, along with some centerfire stuff.

Guy named Steve tried out a bunch of old and new MREs. Nice!
https://youtube.com/@Huggbees/
Sarcastic streaming millennial. Got his start overdubbing “How it’s made” videos hilariously (which if you search nothing else of his, these are worth it). Lately, he’s been doing a series where he smack talks bits of iconography from each state, or weird fact videos.
Ham slice was the worst.
I watched one of his WW2 breakfast MRE videos the other day. He knew a lot of little details about them, which was interesting.
Seems I violated the number of links, so…

Yeah, the shorter dude bugged me. I can’t really say way, maybe just a west coast bias. But when the Arabelle crew started doing the Sail Cargo thing, I tuned out.
I see the block editor is an epic fail at embeds
You need to use the specific “youtube” block for it to work.
Thanks, KK.
The food one is hilarious. And yet somehow disgusting.
Weather dude looks interesting! I appreciate it!
Meanwhile, in Maui.
Tell me again how this wasn’t a land grab?
Inevitably, they will have to release an official number of people who have died, because right now there are people doing the math and they will figure it out. My guess is a lot of this has to do with keeping people out of the fire zone so they can’t see how bad it was, and preparing for a lot of anger and violence when the truth comes out.
I won’t hold my breath.
I doubt the fire was caused to grab the land, but it may well be used to that end.
Never let an opportunity go to waste.
Ever check out Mentour Pilot? Watched some of his stuff during the 737-MAX MCAS stuff, but haven’t recently. Seem to provide an interesting, if sanitized, insight into the pilots life.
I have watched Mentour a bit. For air accident analysis I prefer blancolirio
Tell me again how this wasn’t a land grab?
It’s a power and money grab by the non profit “advocacy” parasites.
I already waste too much time on Facebook.
Facebook= YouTube. Weird.
I admit I’m pretty hooked on 3dbotmaker’s die cast racing videos.
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjN5K3IYZgz-vCWhI_DD01A
He started out running a company on the side that 3d printed accessories for die cast car racing, and started to demo his products in videos. Then he started adding ‘commentary’ to the races he’d video. Then that got tons of views because it gave the races a sense of realism. So he quit his old job, kept the 3-d printing as a side gig, and races cars on YouTube. This guy managed to turn racing die cast cars in his one-car garage into a full time job.

Heh…on the company side, not ours. My guess is their ops had a computer failure.
I am fond of Professor Pardal’s South of the Border hillbilly tech videos. He’s talented. Here he is on a home-built steam trike that also cooks his food.

I enjoy watching Martijn Doolaard, https://www.youtube.com/@MartijnDoolaard. He’s renovating some old stone cabins in the Italian Alps. Very low key. No shouting. No fake drama. Quite relaxing. He also has a series of videos about his bikepacking trip down to South America.

Cash On The Barrel Head
Dunno, I was reading over the bill. Other than just another regulation businesses have to comply with and of course, offloading the responsibility to the business while cities continue to not reign in crime, I don’t see what they are complaining.
Current labor code has this “(12)Provisions prohibiting the employer from maintaining policies that require employees who are not dedicated safety personnel to confront active shooters or suspected shoplifters.” and it is struck from the new proposed labor code.
All the Sikhs in California showed up.
Is this real?
I hope so: it is vital that California be allowed to aggressively run its course and provide a cautionary tale to centrists in the other 49.
I was talking to a Californian who had moved to Nashville who was ashamed of the problems back home but did not deny voting for Jerry Brown: any innocent man would have been screaming his denials. I don’t mind his moving here, but it would suit me if his exit visa from California cost $5,000 for everyone in his family, their fair share of the nonsense that they created and enjoyed before skipping out on the implosion.
NY does you one better (not the article if from the local NPR station:

He’s also claimed that it was easy to ID the kids in this case since they were wearing an ankle monitor when arrested. HOWEVER, he is a lying sack of shit that claimed that the J6 protestors had formed hunter-killer squads, so nothing he says can be assumed to be true.
Meanwhile in Austin
Stop bothering us with your petty little problems, you fucking peasants!
Should I also include the time and date the thief made his money withdrawal?
According o Sean’s link (before it locked up on me), that California law is supposed to keep managers from -requiring- employees to confront or forcibly apprehend shoplifters. For some reason, I doubt this is a truly widespread problem. I did not see a penalty for voluntarily doing so, as far as I got.
Still, WTF, California? Are you seriously intent on driving private businesses out?
That might, might be the reasoning behind the writing, but thenot logic of where it leads is; no small business owner shall be allowed to attempt to stop a theft in process.
Rooftop Koreans, Sihk shop owners. fuck all you all.
Bad news from Mrs. TOK, her roller derby league has gone back to mandating masks at practice. Checking out the stats, our county has a rolling 7-day average of 10 cases, and the county where they hold practice has 28 cases. The league skews petty far left, so not totally surprised but I feel bad for Mrs. TOK. She refuses to skate with a mask on so she won’t be at practice for now. She has talked to a few other teammates, and they’re just as pissed, so we’ll see if this sticks.
Good for the Mrs. for standing firm. They want to self-destruct a sport that is in the middle of making a big comeback? Fuck em.
She is a stronger person than I was. I got the J&J so I could play my sport. She was retired, but delayed coming back until they dropped the vax and mask mandates the first time.
Roller derby did take a big hit from Covid, they shut down completely for over a year. Some leagues closed down and some are still trying to get back to where they were. She’s lucky, for the first time her team has enough to field three teams.
Sports leagues always seem to be staffed with the worst kind of busybodies.
Fuck that. Our hockey league starts at the end of the month. We’ll see if they try this shit again.
Back in Minne, everyone ignored the rules.
We’ll see what my coach says. But yes, fuck those masks. Didn’t do anything but restrict your breathing during intense exercise. Brilliant.

Airborne Be dust no es bueno.
It makes bitchin X-ray windows tho.
Too brittle, maybe. It depends on what you mix it with. Just don’t machine it without extreme precautions.
You can make an extremely hard bronze with it.
If this is a normal part of cycle races I may start watching.
Nice hit.
It’s normal (and will get you DQed), but not usually against a teammate!!
I think the Oliver Anthony explosion is going to crack open some section of society in some form. I hope beyond entertainment, but more artists that aren’t tied down to a corporate contract with their record company are going to be singing the same tune.
