I think if you put more effort into catching the audio clearly these could be really cool background content to have on while studying etc..

Thank you for that feedback! Yes - I do plan on upgrading to a real external microphone soon. For the time being it is the camera's internal mic, which is admittedly, not great.

I started posting surfing videos on YouTube. I don't know where it's going to go, but it's fun so far! ( https://www.youtube.com/@soncsd )

vishalontheline commented on Ask HN: How do you fight YouTube addiction and procrastination? I'm struggling    · Posted by u/angelochecked

A couple of things that have been effective for me:

1) Block said online service using the hostfile until addiction becomes manageable / goes away. Repeat as needed.

2) For work, keep a notebook. Review and set goals at the start of each day or week. Review and update notes / goals at the end of each day and week. Your own agenda, your game to keep yourself motivated.

Now, since your addiction is blocked and you have something to do, you'll at least get it done before turning to your addiction to kill time / unwind.

Something that wasn't mentioned in the article is that Counter-Strike spawned the creation of the most iconic FPS map ever: de_dust2. If an FPS supports custom maps, it's inevitable that de_dust2 will get ported to it.

There's actually a mini-documentary about the creation of de_dust2 [0] which I think will be of interest to FPS fans.

I wonder if de_dust2 is the most played FPS map or if it has been dethroned by something like Fortnite or some other shooter map.

After De_Dust2, the Jungle Warfare map in the first Ghost Recon game that has a special place in my heart.

vishalontheline commented on Simulations reveal the secret to strengthening carbon fiber   ornl.gov/news/simulations... · Posted by u/gmays

Carbon Fiber is the new Asbestos. Ask anyone who works with the stuff, and I wisened up after I used to print with Carbon Fiber PLA, one day I looked at my hands under a microscope and was horrified to see microscopic little carbon fibers embedded all over my hands. Washing my hands just spread them around. They were embedded deep in my hands, all over work surfaces and probably floating in the air. Horrifying!

Isn't this true for regular old fiberglass as well?

We often see people working with those materials wear protective equipment (full coveralls, breathing / eye protection).
