Plus huge value in its enabling far cry primal role play

That's so true. Switching between tools also reduces blisters and allays boredom. Plus, it's also nice to have a backup tool in case something were to break.

It really is. It's not tough at all. Fresh Maple will be a different story--but I'm not going to strip that one until this weekend (when I plan on milling it). Don't want it to dry out in the meantime.

Before building this, I considered buying one of those. This just kept me from going to the store!

@@pocket83squared I would recommend. The thin blade was very effective. Plus they're good at edging flower beds

Thanks. It takes some searching. We looked at hundreds of properties. Where are you looking?

@@pocket83squared we are currently located in north germany. We found some acceptable properties here but the regulations are a pain. If you don't find exactly what you want, you will have a hard time adding what's missing...

Yeah, right! I haven't formally exercised since moving two years ago, but thanks.

Nice to hear. Thanks a bunch.

@@pocket83squared I love a haiku peeling syllables like bark the brown skin of trees

Ha! You wouldn't believe how much I appreciate that.

I have many hours logged on that game, 4 player split screen on a CRT! Can't say I remember wielding that weapon tho, lol. Mostly free-for-all style looking for some golden pistol. haha But seriously, that absurd equation?? someone figure this out! Is it math? a joke? what!? Okay so do we have a v and a v(sub s) like source voltage? I gave up...leaving it to someone smarter.

...which are symbols. Was that a claim to have been born that way? nonononono, let me try to argue you away from that belief, lest you repeat it too often and solidify it. . Symbols are used to express ideas. An idea might be the description of the actual shape/variety/nature of something, or it might be the hypothetical description of something. Both cases are types of arguments. Both cases necessarily yield to some level of error. Both can be expressed through use of other sets of symbols. Logic is mathematics; it is the language-based application of formal argument. Thus, there is no distinction to be made between mathematics and philosophy. . You might have trouble with arithmetic, but that is not mathematics. Numbers are just one mechanistic aspect of it that's tough to overcome for everyone (which is why we've started to circumvent it with calculators). Though it may be uncomfortable to try, if your brain can handle grammar and syntax, it can also handle some logic. . Lifting weight sucks. It hurts, and it's boring. But the more you do it, the better you get, and the more you can tolerate. Juggling is an analogous skill developmentally, I'd imagine. Similar to both is abstraction development; the brain will eventually re-wire itself in such a way to be able to accept new, strange(r) geometries. . Although the brain starts to lose its processing power while you're still in your late 20's, it also continues to get much better at what it does. It learns through leverage by application of previously learned tools, and it develops conceptual bridges across/through disciplinary boundaries. As much as anything can be, continued ineptitude is a choice.* . *This is not a value claim. My personal experience with tumbling down the abstraction-distraction rabbit-hole was that it was nothing but problems. It might be the case that the highest-quality life is one that stays away from it all. Between the infinitesimal, the integer, and the infinite, there's nothing to be found but paradox: maybe we were just born unable to deal with that reality.

@@pocket83squared Definitely not a claim to have been born that way, for the reasons you've set out. It's more a wilful ineptitude, in the same way that whilst I enjoy fitness and sports, I have no interest in investing the time required to excel in any particular athletic pursuit. Casual cycling, running and yoga is sufficient for me. Writing however, both creative and technical contract drafting, is a joy. I take the point that the logic of technical writing particularly might translate well to mathematics, which is probably why I enjoy your videos (also, vsauce; amazing!), but I've no interest in ever plotting my own Brachistochrone, let alone making a race track following one to test the theory.

@@pocket83squared Also: "Between the infinitesimal, the integer, and the infinite, there's nothing to be found but paradox: maybe we were just born unable to deal with that reality." - feels like there's an awful lot to unpack here, and I'm still in terminal velocity freefall down the rabbit hole of your suggestion in the Easter egg video that conscious thought, judgment and volition are illusions!

Sorry. I tend to write heavily in the mornings.

​@@pocket83squared pffst, don't be! I'm sorry I gave sod all back!

yes there are days when i wish I could join him (sometimes just for the company)

So far I've only seen one (live) snake this year: a big, Black Rat. He was in the middle of the trail during the hottest part of a hot day. I'm not too far from Indiana, so I'm guessing it was the early heat that made them move.

A pretty good idea, considering I also had to carry a tripod, hatchet, drawknife, and water!

They all do that eventually. After the log has been cracked open, I'll get back to you. In general, I don't like "spalted" wood. It's just a nice way to say 'half-fungaled.' Wonder if that's a word. I prefer solid; part of the art is to cure a piece of wood properly, that is, to try to find the sweet spot where its properties are best exploited. ... Anywho, my concern there was more about how hard the (somewhat dried) cherry would be to mill, since that log is still too fresh to have much (if any) rot. ... Now, as to why spalted cherry is not really a thing in popular woodworking-snob circles? [Pure speculation follows] Probably because it's perceived as being a bit low-brow. The ubiquitous Black Cherry covers the entire eastern half of The States, so I think it has just become low-culture from overuse. It seems like our beautiful Tulip tree suffers a similar stigma. Personally, those are two of my favorites, and Cherry *is* my favorite for burning. No others smell that nice when split, either. As is cures, it really does smell like candy. ... Have a nice weekend, Mr. Mulder ;)

@@pocket83squared personal preference... I happen to like spalted maple for the aesthetics of it. I know it's rotting, but I find plain maple to be often a bit bland, and the spalting can add some interest. I'm not sure I've ever smelled split cherry. Hmm. If you ever get a chance, check out yellowheart. Makes a really interesting spicy scent when fresh cut. Also unique in that it maintains it colour. No idea what the official latin name is.

Yes. You can remove the "basically" from that sentence.

lol.

No! It's too high to be practical. I would need to get a quad over it. If I were to make a bridge, it would be a simple straight span, with a truss-style triangular support from above. Compression on the triangles, tension on the rest. ... That's like, way, way in the future, though.

Surprisingly, I've used it quite often. More handy than you would think. Last time was about a week ago, and it's still like new. Really held up well. Good thing, too--because there are two logs sitting in the yard that I plan to mill soon.

Without any upgrades, it has a slow attack that inflicts low damage. But you'll also gain +30 crafting XP, and another +15 intimidation while it's equipped. It's also highly customizable.

or too dangerous what forces are in play

@@dtec30 Yeah, it's kinda creepy to get under it. The camera makes it look small, but it's big enough that I don't like pushing on it. It's hard to believe that it stays!

@@pocket83squared so it's kind of widowmaker

Because the obstructions are unnatural and too numerous. They've caused the stream to diverge and spill to other places, which is causing a bunch of channels that don't belong. It's also causing damage to healthy trees, both young and old.

That's fine. I'm not doing this for high numbers. If I were, I would take a much different approach. Consider this video: if I wanted a higher view count, I would make it more energetic and enthusiastic--faster paced. I would sell the idea as though it were great, and I would edit everything to make it look easy and fun. I'd build suspense first with a teaser, and then with a slow tension that releases after the (sponsored) third quarter. I'd add fast-paced, quiet music. Use a tight edit with fast pan, GoPro-style. Add some friends in for feigned social appeal; you are now part of the party. The reveal would be quick, and then it's back to self-promotion. I would be patronizing, and act friendly. I would pretend to be your friend, beg you for your support, and seem to appreciate your view and feedback. ... Let the popular 'influencers' sell their spines for those numbers. As for me: I generate ideas related to fixing and building things, and I want to share those with people who are interested. This does not apply to the brainless masses that comprise the bulk of viewership on this medium. ... If that sounded nasty, it wasn't. I really do appreciate what you've just said. It's just my nature to remain as honest as I can; exaggerating just to sell you something is repulsive to me, and honesty just doesn't get you popularity. So here in my corner I will stay.

I had never been to his main channel! I am guessing I'm in for some more great content! I've been happy over here in this little "corner" for quite some time... it's pretty cozy here.

@@pocket83squared I'm a long time viewer watched all you'r videos (on both channels) so I know You and what you could do quite a bit. I almost always see people on your main channel commenting things like "final you uploaded a video "and "where have you been" and such and I always inform them that you have a second channel and most of them thank me just for telling them. I have no problem with the way you've set up your channels and what you decide to upload or not or where, I respect you'r decisions and watch and enjoy your videos on both channels (no problem for me), My point was that a lot of people who love you'r videos and ideas are missing a lot by not knowing about this channel. Lets not get into 'influencer' type youtubers, even thou lately to degree almost all have become so in a way or another for one or the other reason, maybe it is just a step in the evolution of this media (I hope not). Thanks again for the reply.
