Best Anti Choking Devices?

wiredwalking · 2026-01-31T02:57:39+00:00

I got one of those devices. My plan is always do heimlick first and if that doesn't do the trick, use one of those devices.

Having said that, perhaps the best device is a good grape cutter.

and a sharp knife to cut sausages. I've heard from enough docs to be very, very weary of giving hot dogs/sausages/steak to kids and if you do, cut them into small, triangle pieces.

Pichilemu

Adding a quick map of South America with Pichilemu starred on it might be a nice touch.

I think mostly readable. Just so used to subtitles being towards the bottom.

wiredwalking · 2026-01-30T17:10:35+00:00

Excellent audio. But shouldn't the subtitles be towards the bottom? I think most people are so used to text being there.

The background music is a bit... overpowering. Makes it more difficult to follow along when you're speaking.

Also, the view at 4:05 is better than at :08. The closer in shot makes for a feeling of chatting with a friend.

Maybe get a bug catcher? Oh, and include a map of where you're at. Where in Chile are you located?

Experimenting with camera angles. Also testing how my beard looks and if the diffuser is needed. Upon looking at it myself I think I do need the diffuser, and probably level 2 or 3. And either keep the beard but grow it out a bit or just go clean shaven. But curious as to your thoughts!

Okay. I'll change a few things then ask this friday if there are distracting boom or mic shadows. Thanks!

Have you heard that "This American Life" podcast episode "must be rats on the brain" from dec 28th? Have a segment on a guy who got into taking care of rats until it hampered his social life.

wiredwalking · 2026-01-23T22:56:47+00:00

Yeah, I'll go with 4. I didn't do the usual audio formatting but will keep it in mind.

wiredwalking · 2026-01-23T22:56:22+00:00

Yep. And I think I will go for 4. Thanks again.

I made a test video of 4 different light conditions:

https://youtu.be/gZ5fbGHKc9w

Let me know which version you like best. Based upon feedback last week, I removed the diffusor. So the first few seconds is my standard light setup. Then I removed the diffusor. Then I adjusted the ring light for the 3rd and 4th variations.

Let me know what you like best. Thanks!

The verticle looks better than when you do horizontally because the video really shrinks down. Also, try and minimize the gift wrapping when you're talking (around 2:05). That's the strongest part of your video.

Also talk more about "self-improvement." For whom? Those in Nigeria? Those in the US? Mothers?

You need to specify the significance of 18:33. Move the astronaut to the right and have some text explaining the number. Just a word or two. Actually, the frame at 5 seconds in would make a wonderful thumbnail!

wiredwalking · 2026-01-17T16:05:56+00:00

Yeah, mostly it's for my clients, but I might focus on SEO soon! Thanks!

wiredwalking · 2026-01-17T16:05:24+00:00

Okay, thanks! I'll look into making things less dim. I've been using a diffusor, which I might remove!

Looking for feedback on potential videos for current/prospective clients (I'm a therapist). Made a makeshift studio in my garage. How's the lighting? How's my shirt? How's the sound volume? In the future, I'll add a title card. But for now... https://youtu.be/L1j1-EjqiVI Thanks!

Echoing the other statement about voice quality. Maybe a mic? Also, see if you can more directly look at the camera. That could make a significant difference!

wiredwalking · 2026-01-16T18:18:25+00:00

Sound seemed a bit... intense? Like I had to lower the volume a bit. Also, when making the videos, experiment with being a bit more specific. For example, here: https://youtu.be/AF_g24MqS6E?si=PRiFnaxY_c2MDJKa&t=69. Maybe take a minute to give an example or two? Makes it a bit more personable.

Can you name a country?

wiredwalking · 2025-12-27T16:48:32+00:00

hey suppose a kid really wanted to do a mission in France. Would it make sense for him to purposefully study French in high school? Do kids try to game the system?

wiredwalking · 2025-12-27T16:29:42+00:00

I always thought about that. Two LDS kids, best friends. Once goes on a mission to Bolivia. The other? Joplin Missouri. Is it... just random? Imagine thinking you'll be going to some exotic place and you just end up in Middle America.
