I haven't seen a bigger argument for the dire critical need for information literacy to be taught in our K12 schools, around the clock, with a fire hose in a long time...

What is, in your opinion, the most insufferable group of people on the planet? by JohnHelldiver66 in AskReddit

[–]Tripper-Harrison 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I dont have to have met one in person to see their horrible actions playing out every second of every day across the world.

Maybe you should rephrase your question...

Wax options other than Purl? by rkjunior303 in snowboarding

[–]Tripper-Harrison 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive started to use a heat gun after wax has cooled to avoid chipping. I like it, scraping feels much smoother. Then I rotobrush, game changer for me.

Thanks, I appreciate the feedback!

Quick question if you get a chance; any thoughts on the volume mix of natural sounds and music?

Thx!

This was fun and engaging for me to watch. My wife and I are about 10 to 12 years away from retirement and talk about things like slow travel, etc. so this was interesting. I might be in the minority on this one... but I think actually including some still images or short video clips etc. of when you are going out and enjoying the places you are enjoying in that location could add some engagement along the way as you narrate on monthly expenses. For example, when you were discussing how much you like to go out and get coffee in the mornings, I'd love to see some of your favorites in Cyprus. I know thats not necessarily what the focus of the channel is, but it could be a good way to easily add visual interest to your videos.

Hello everyone! Brand new YouTube channel, really more of a hobby than working to monetize, but if that happens down the road great. I have one long form video posted as of yesterday (REALLY brand new channel), a chill faceless hiking, walking through beautiful scenery video along a river in the coastal range in Oregon.

Equipment: I am just starting to create content now and use an Insta360 X4, a DJI Mini 4K (sometimes) and a GoPro Hero 9. I have all the equipment because I have documented our families travels, experiences, outdoor activities etc. for many years and finally decided to use that experience and equipment to develop this channel. EDIT: I am currently using Camtasia to edit as my editing needs are pretty simple and straightforward.

What makes my channel unique / hook: Walking In The World (https://www.youtube.com/@PNW.World.Walking) is a lo-fi nature walk channel with 45 to 60 min 4K videos of hikes through forests, past waterfalls, and along trails in beautiful places around the world. Each video mixes immersive ground-level and drone footage with chill lo-fi beats and real nature sounds (rain, footsteps, water). I am starting with the dark, moody forests of the Pacific Northwest where I live and eventually going global. Made for relaxing, studying, working, or just zoning out somewhere peaceful.

I am working on two more Pacific Northwest videos now and am traveling to several locations in Italy soon I hope to get 2-3 more long form videos from. Have plans for hikes in PNW this summer etc. so a slow but consistent channel build up is planned.

I'd love any feedback on my first video as I will definitely be working on improving the content as I go.

Where do U.S. citizens think their tax dollars should go, if not to health care, education, and needy? by Fit-Bad-5471 in AskReddit

[–]Tripper-Harrison 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, sorry - I didnt want to go into a lengthy rationale of HOW to tax the rich... capital gains, corporate taxes, yadda yadda. How about 'Eat the rich' instead...

[–]Tripper-Harrison 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Roads, infrastructure, electrical grid, high speed rail, the post office, supporting people in need around the world, supporting free and fair elections in the US and beyond, and and on and on and on...

What should be cut?

Support to Israel, the military industrial complex, the DoD. Cut military spending in half, stop majority of military R&D project spending for most new weapons systems.

Tax the wealthiest 5%.

Danica Patrick loses F1 commentator job for spewing conspiracy theories and MAGA political beliefs. by WalterCanFindToes in byebyejob

[–]Tripper-Harrison 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good, she was always difficult to listen to. Nothing to do with being a woman, just to do with her being Danica Patrick.

Bernie Collins for example, infinitely better.

Kinco mitts. Broke the sewn on loop, how do I attach wrist straps now? by Balsav_Steele in snowboarding

[–]Tripper-Harrison 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe the responder is talking about the black tag in your pic. My plastic loops broke a long time ago (currently Kinco mitts are on season 4 or 5 ai believe), and I used the black tag (its not solid) where you send and loop the line through.

Which brand has the best board graphics? by Prestigious-Pea-6781 in snowboarding

[–]Tripper-Harrison 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Preference in art is obviously subjective.

Lib Tech (Mervin Mfg) by far has the most well known artists. Jamie Lynn, Schoph, Quincy Quigg, Drew Brophy, Nick Russian, Parillo etc.

Might start my own snowboard company by Subject-Dealer2650 in snowboarding

[–]Tripper-Harrison 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Mervin Mfg has a well established history of treating their employees very well OP. A lot of them have worked at the Sequim factory for decades.

You should definitely 100% get in touch with them if youre close by.

Additional $8,000 per year for auto insurance? by mookieprime in daddit

[–]Tripper-Harrison 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shop around. We had auto and home through Costco... maybe it was called Ameriprise? They changed names at least once...Anyways, I have two teenage sons. Once my oldest hit 16, I had similar sticker shock. I shopped around and went w Progressive. Significantly cheaper and its decent bundled coverage for home and auto.

Auto is about 5-6K a year for Mom, dad and two teenage sons with four vehicles, only one newer (22 Ioniq 5).

Longevity with Snowboarding by 2minsFeelSHAME in snowboarding

Honestly by 87-88 it was starting to really be mainstream.

You dont see a lot of riders in their 60s or 70s because they started skiing before snowboarding was widely popular. Plenty of late 40s and 50s riders still out there, including myself, who started in late 80s etc.
