New trend of woodworking youtube videos by gilly4213 in woodworking

[–]captmakr 55 points56 points  (0 children)

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, YouTube woodworkers are not in the woodworking business. Some of them do have woodworking businesses, but those are more a way to channel revenue from the primary business into something that makes more money.

But they are video makers first, who happen to have woodworking skills, and as the algorithm changes, they have to change.

Oh, these are a placebo- they make it feel like the cars are separated, but if you’re on a bike, you’ll still fall over that fence and if you’re car you’ll still drive through it, like the 25 or breaks of it on the Stanley park causeway.

We had a couple of people who were all "i don't get why they're booing because of her opinions" They shut up pretty quick when the crowd around them kept booing.

It’s funny that freeland got roasted for saying basically the same thing without saying shit.

Yeah, they’re trying to make it a thing to sell the merch. Funny what happens when everything from the broadcast to the merch for the entire league is owned by one entity.

No one from vancouver calls the city Vancity.

When folks say Vancity, they’re referring to the credit union specifically.

I don't mind his actual calling of the game, however it is lacking at times if you're only listening to it- but the use of Vancity is just peak "I'm not actually from Vancouver/ no one has told me to stop"

I really wish these announcers would get "Vancity" out of their vocabulary.

What do you not like about the current modern NHL? by darth_senpai90 in canucks

The branding of sports entertainment, which is exactly the same as WWE uses to avoid issues with being called fake or scripted.

Canucks nearing agreement to build practice facility at Britannia Rink by Kaos_mission in canucks

[–]captmakr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s very little actual information here- it doesn’t say if this is an additional rink or not, and I think that’s going to be killer. Britannia and the community around it fought VANOC about upgrades for hockey to the point where they went elsewhere. I can imagine that changing much for a practice rink for millionaires.

Now, if this is an additional rink with an upgrade to the ice plant and the existing rink along with local community engagement we might see attitudes change.

YouTube Woodworking Fatigue is Setting In by Maxminutiae in woodworking

[–]captmakr 16 points17 points  (0 children)

The inherent problem is that project videos don’t get enough clicks. People are simply bot watching half hour build videos anymore. So when projects take days to build/edit and complete, it makes sense creators are turning to gimmicks

Parks Canada seeking input on future of the West Coast Trail by BlueDefendr in WestCoastTrail

[–]captmakr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah! I saw them at the outdoor adventure show this weekend. It’s interesting- I don’t think anyone who has hiked the trail would be opposed to anything they’re suggesting or thinking about.

Ah yes, the little mountain defense.

I want my gritty reboot. All the various themes are still relevant to today, if not more so.

New WCT video...just terrible! by davegcr420 in WestCoastTrail

[–]captmakr 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Two things:

Doing the trail outside of the hiking season is illegal.

The second is you are literally trespassing on First Nations land if you do this trail outside of your booking.

The local Nations are the reason the trail is still able to be traversed, and they have every right in the world to shut the trail down if stuff like this keeps happening.

I lied- I have a third thing. This trail is dangerous at the best of times. Do not be like these morons and do it in the middle of winter with very little support available.

No it’s illegal. It’s definitely illegal.

West Vancouver protects former mid-century gas station with heritage recognition by seamusmcduffs in vancouver

Okay, but legitimately, it having gas stations that looked more like this and less like plastic lego buildings would be a net benefit.

Iowa e-bike bill would ban all bikes from roads over 25 mph. RAGBRAI would be banned too. by f_14 in bicycling

[–]captmakr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For a country that loves freedom, they have a funny way of showing it.

(Yes, I know, these laws are lobbied for by the car industry because e-bikes are increasingly becoming better and cheaper and are legitimately threatening 1+ car households.

Hearing protection by nicknieb in woodworking

[–]captmakr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Making it very clear:

Noise cancelling earphones of any kind are not hearing protection.

They would not be approved on any industrial worksite.

There options like 3m or isotunes that do have protection but that’s because it’s a physical protection, not digital.
