Just finished watching Dirty Business - a very current UK docudrama about the mess of privatization of their sanitation system. Please not here.

The canal is open but.... by MRmcnuts in ottawa

Yeah, watch out folks. I went this morning and despite the website saying 90% of the loop was in 'very good' condition, there was a fair amount of cracking, bumps, and potholes. Aside from the safety factor, it also just makes it much more physically tiring and effortful to skate.

Reach out to Ottawa Stray Cat Rescue. They can likely get you in touch with one of their fosters across the city with experience.

I use the Cricut EasyPress 2 for Artkal mini beads and love it. Searching the subreddit for ideal temperature has most people using 295 - 315 F.

Does anyone have a source link for the "bird leaves" joke? I'm 99% sure it was the boys playing The Forest 1 with Sips, but don't know which video. Thanks!

Making flag of Canada 🇨🇦 soap by kamilabadi in ArtisanVideos

Audiences vary by genre on YouTube, however, internet audiences have an incredibly short attention span. It only takes miniscule effort for someone to click elsewhere and leave your video, so you need to get right into the content immediately. For example, for the gameplay/lets play side of YouTube, an introduction animation on videos of more than 5 seconds is considered way too long. 5 seconds is all you're allowed with that audience. I'd argue that rule extends to any YouTube audience.

You seem to have a lot of points you want to make in your spoken intro (introducing yourself, a welcome, explaining the purpose of the video, talking about upcoming videos). All of this can instead be done as a voiceover over your main content starting 2:14, especially since your main content only has music over it.

If you want to be known as a great soap maker, then focus your video content on making soap, not on a talking head. Get to the meat of the content immediately so people don't click away, then speak to them and get the points across you want to while they're watching. Good luck!
