That aside (I fathomed it probably wasn't for me), I think it's the constant barrage of "hit like and subscribe hombreros!" that puts people off, even if you're not saying it in your film, it's put a right sour taste in my mouth for pushing that button in general.

They might think "oh this looks interesting" and click on the video from the home feed of suggestions - 99% will then be done with whatever the topic of the video was and move on.
Anything over a 1% conversion of view to subscriber is bonus. Expecting more is delusional if your channel is mono-topic based.

Having accidentally put my fingers in one of the props of my son's drone recently, you have my sympathies.

I assumed the weight of the batteries, motors, model and the tail lipped over the box would keep the model in place. I was a bit wrong! The torque was incredible. the thumb wound was down to the bone, prop went straight through the nail bed. This all happened on a live stream, 40 people screaming in the chat "Its moving", "watch your fingers" Obviously wasn't watching the chat. I felt like a complete tit!

I took the skin off two knuckles while tidying the garage the other week (my most middle-aged injury yet). There's that moment after where you look down, see thick dark blood, and go "Yeah, that might be a problem"

Potholer54. I saw this title in my feed, remembered potholer had something to do with thunderf00t (a bad faith atheism advocate turned professional misogynist) back in the day and my heart sank.
But, having watched it, rest assured potholer is (still) not a weirdo culture warrior.

Old science journalist explains in suitably patronising tone that the physical sciences have nothing to say about social constructs, attempts to disambiguate sex and gender, and explores some bigoted tropes, curious attitudes, curious traditions and Trump's executive order about sex/gender being defined at conception.

It's clear that the writer has ideological motivations to imagine implied arguments rather than address the actual content of the statements he/she/they quotes.

It'll reinforce your views if you're of the opinion that it's not a binary thing, sure, but his arguments are weak and easily demolished.
The argument about sex being analogue at 7:40 presents scientific sex as a continuum by highlighting some genetic conditions where extra chromosomes are present. It gives no information whatsoever about the prevalence of these conditions, nor whether those affected actually survived. Are they statistically significant or not? If not, then the binary position arguably still holds.
( , Mon 17 Feb 2025, 9:39, Reply)

but binary is binary no? if something does not fit in to "1" or "0" then you can not describe that data set as binary. Regardless of whether you think the outliers "don't count" because they may or may not be in significant numbers.
( , Mon 17 Feb 2025, 10:28, Reply)

Should have qualified that as "for all practical purposes".
To reduce it to an absurd level: If there's one outlier in seven billion, and they don't make it to their first birthday, then does it make sense to include them in a conversation about toilet signage?
My point being that he doesn't give enough information to make an informed judgement on the subject either way.
( , Mon 17 Feb 2025, 11:03, Reply)

Surely not sex, which potholer says is binary.
The digital/analogue thing is just a way to say sex is binary, but not everybody fits into the 2 categories because biology is messy. Intersex people are intersex, but due to the way biological reproduction works, it would be incorrect to say there are more than 2 sexes. You only need 2 sexes to reproduce.
Gender, on the other hand, is entirely arbitrary and science has nothing to say about it. That's the point.

nor do I recall ruining any of your threads with attempts at bullying you for raping your children, nor do I recall posting any oversized and terminally untalented artwork dedicated to my psychotic bullying campaign against you raping your children.
You constantly invite this criticism. It's probably the only attention you get.

You display no personality traits other than sexualised aggression and obsessive behaviour online. That's all you are, a rapey weirdo. Whatever else you think you have is probably just a shallow affectation.

I don't want to reward your rapist mentality. Understand? I don't like you doing this, so I'm trying to make it a painful experience for you, and to teach others not to fuck around in the same creepy obsessive way.
You can stop at any time.

step 2, get a load of fruit
step 3, get a big bucket and sterilise it
step 4, blanche some fuit
step 5, put the fruit, a couple of Kg sugar, and some wine yeast into the bucket, seal and put one of those airlock bubblers on it
step 5, when the bubbling has nearly stopped add some more sugar, repeat until no bubbling even with sugar
step 6, wait until it gets clear then put into bottles and put those in the freezer
step 7, when really frozen take the lids off and let the first liquid run out until there is just ice left in the bottle
step 8, enjoy your redneck vodka that cost almost nothing except a bit of time.
Now you don't have to watch the video
( , Sun 16 Feb 2025, 10:48, Reply)

the problem is that a lot of the shit things like methanol, esters, alhehydes also get concentrated, which can lead to blinding headaches or worse. But it's cheaper than heat distilling, you just need a freezer or leave it outside if you live somewhere snowy.
( , Sun 16 Feb 2025, 22:23, Reply)

it's redneck vodka. It's shit, but it does the job.
You can do proper distillation (throwing away the first bit) if you like, and you'll get a much better result. If you then filter it through charcoal, you'll get a much smoother result.
Of course, you could just buy some cheap vodka and filter it through charcoal a few times...

Control by temperature at the point where the vapour exits the column, keep it close to 78oC.
(I was going to make a fractionating column with marbles until I decided my liver had had enough punishment).
Remove 1st and last 5% of distillate.

A friend in my teens bought some white converse baseball boots and dyed them purple.
They dyed his feet purple after he wore them for a day.
The dye wouldn't wash off and he had bright purple feet for weeks.
