BuckyDoneGun posted:The only gun channel I watch is Demo Ranch specifically because he keeps his politics out of it. Demo Ranch is a good channel for sure. Even if you watch his OfftheRanch he is pretty careful to keep any hint of politics off that one too - even the thin blue line support cops stuff he had disappeared when BLM really became a thing so you get the hint either he's reaaaaaaaaaaaaaally careful and/or he really doesnt care too much of anything political. The only thing that was remotely controversial was him posting a pic with Donald Trump jnr and he got absolutely dragged for that but gave a believeable "Ohhh.... I didnt think this would be viewed so badly, I sincerely apologise". CarForumPoster posted:Something about turning wrenches thats turns people into politically opinionated and constantly wrong loud mouths. Too much time to listen to the background radio in the shop is my theory. Maybe half the actual mechanics I’ve been around are this type of dummy. Usually conservative but not always. Glad it’s true in the UK as well. Cars and working on them attracts in general a lot of lovely people and has a lot of testosterone flying. It's a physical, sometimes dangerous, noisy, dirty hobby that appeals to the more Me Caveman Me kill Brontosaus for dinner side. And as such yeah you really see it at racetracks where there are a whole array of people with the most small minded dickhead opinions - it doesn't take a lot of higher brain functions to drive hard and fast, some the dumbest people have had great careers racing. Just like I.T. tends to attract people who can think (Outside of the techbro minority morons) and be more progressive in views, that's the nature of the hobby / job.

Of course there's some of it everywhere you go in this country and one could argue that northern states are even worse (Michigan, Indiana) but in Florida it's not nearly as bad as everyone makes it out to be. If you havent been to the inland areas then you wouldn't know the difference, it's way worse.

The new FasterPROMs video features Jeremy wearing a t-shirt that says "SOCIALism DISTANCING". The whole Cleetus crew can just gently caress off. Hopefully the BoostedBois/PFI guys don't get dragged into this. Just do some cool car poo poo and keep your chud garbage a secret, it's not that hard.

Sadly I am pretty sure that boostedbois/pfi crew is already basically on that bullshit, given that they know cleetus and the fasterproms guys well enough to move down there. Which sucks because they always struck me as down to earth dudes but if there's one thing that 2020 has taught me it's that average Americans have a pretty good chance of being all in on 'basic decency = socialism' and it's almost guaranteed if they are 'car guys.' In other news, in the newest episode of hot rod garage, Tony Angelo explains that they are getting daily covid tests on their set because people complained about them wearing masks and being hard to understand, but that people need to take covid seriously, and straight up calls cleetus out at the end of his spiel. Pretty impressed. wilfredmerriweathr fucked around with this message at 04:20 on Dec 1, 2020 |

I definitely had a hunch and was waiting for him to say something like this. Sucks getting confirmation of the stuff though because as long as they keep it to themselves I'll still watch their videos because I've been proven wrong before and hey, I like the entertainment. But man the brain worms are strong these last few years.

Has there been any indication of Eric O having poo poo opinions? To be honest though, if they'd just keep it out of their videos I can enjoy the content (unless they are too poo poo. I must admit though, POGO was ruined for me when I found out he did some homophobic rant.

He's made some snide remarks in past videos that weren't overtly political but made it clear where his sympathies lie. He's a Baptist and a gun nut, it's not much of a reach to draw the obvious conclusion. As long as he sticks to cars and leaves politics alone, it's fine by me. People are entitled to have bad opinions as long as they aren't obnoxious about them.

Deteriorata posted:People are entitled to have bad opinions That has a level I disagree with, given some of those bad opinions dehumanise and abuse other people. Or are harmful to society like anti-maskers or antivaxxers. You really aren't entitled to be a racist shithead, no matter how much someone wants to say its their freedomzzzzz. If your bad opinion is that Doug Demero is watchable then yeah okay... you're wrong but it's fine, you can have that. I'll just laugh and move on. But once we get into poo poo that is "covid isnt real!!!" "Masks are a attack on MAH FREEDOMZZZ!" "Black lives dont matter!" and so on as it gets worse....... we got a problem there.

OK, I've found new channel that I think is kind of interesting and would like to pimp a bit. He's just a guy in Texas wrenching in his driveway, but he seems like a personable guy and very AI. His workbench is the tailgate of his pickup most of the time. He's very organized and seems good at what he does, which seems to be buying messed up cars cheap, fixing them up, and then selling them. Anyway, I've enjoyed his videos and most of them have less than 100 views. I feel like if he started getting some viewers and feedback he could become pretty good. It's called Byrds Rebuilds. Check him out if you get a chance.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_qwLHlVjRyw Look at this loving nozzle articulate. The number of factors it has to account for, either through them being rolled in to one sensor cumulatively or as a bunch of inputs, is nuts. And the speed with which the computing has to happen to make this be a stable control system is for better engineers than me. I can't believe how fast they make these insanely hot, insanely vibrating nozzles move and stop in order to orient the rocket. This nozzle is vibrating so hard you can hear the output from 40 miles away...its probably >1000°C ...the mass of the object it is moving changes rapidly...AND they move it to exactly where it needs to go QUICKLY.
