This was a nice nuts-and-bolts conversation with @notjustbikes and @GarethDennis about level boarding. The safety and accessibilty parts are super important, but I think the dwell times are pretty crucial too.

I'm gonna be trying something different out tomorrow. Something between a re-do and a re-run.

It's a new shoot using almost entirely old B-roll and a significant re-work of the script. Basically, I wanted to combine the two dishwasher videos into one sub-half-hour video focused more on "tips and tricks" and less on my opinions on detergent (though you bet it still contains opinions on detergent!).

@TechConnectify Thanks! I hadn't seen either of the previous videos, and given their run-times, I might not have. This was great, and I'm already doing most of the tips, but I'm already looking forward to the hot-water trick.

It's annoying when people complain that my content is "too eurocentric". And after making my Shinjuku station video a lot of people are saying that "finally" there's some "non-eurocentric" content. 🙄

I make videos about MY experiences in cities. I don't summarize a bunch of facts you could easily find on Wikipedia, Twitter, or news articles, and then lazily recite it over stock footage.

I actually GO to places, experience them in person, and over 90% of my videos is footage I filmed myself.

I'll throw out some suggestions of non-eurocentric urbanist or adjacent video creators that I have enjoyed, and would love other suggestions:

Heartland Urbanist (Ohio, USA) - https://www.youtube.com/@HeartlandUrbanist

tehsiewdai (Singapore) - https://www.youtube.com/c/tehsiewdai

AJ Tabura (Minnesota, USA) - https://www.youtube.com/@AJTabura/videos

(Some of those folks are on Nebula or urbanists.video also!)
