       | Can anyone recommend similarly themed videos but with less snarky
       | narration and jump cuts? I really like the topic but don't need
       | the comedy.

       | To provide my own example - M. Bjoernstroem's channel is awesome:

         | Some of these are a little different in style and content but I
         | think that they'll scratch the same kind of itch.

           | Awhile back I suggested to a friend who was dealing with a
           | tragic loss to watch from the first video as an excellent
           | example of what heathy grieving looks like. An absolutely
           | beautiful channel.

         | I was looking some time ago (a year or 3) how to de-rust stuff
         | and found out that you do go over the thing with a wire brush,
         | then some acetone, and then you pick up your industrial laser
         | rust remover! Magic happens at step 3 apparently.
         | 
         | ...I did good enough on my project - phosphoric acid stuff + a
         | lot of scrubbing.
         | 
         | As someone who started doing things in `meat-space` at the tail
         | end of 2020 I've learnt a lot about YouTube sponsor-fic vs
         | reality.
         | 
         | I have a YT channel which is me documenting stuff I've done.
         | Anyone interested is encouraged to (easily) find it. And this
         | is just to prove that my mouth is exactly where my written word
         | is.
         | 
         | Reality always wins. I take solace in that.

             | Sorry to steer this from rust, but is there a way to
             | cleanly remove factory logo decals? I have a keyboard
             | (instrument). It has what look like very thin white decals
             | that have been heat-treated in to black painted metal at
             | manufacture. I tried Goof Off. I don't know if there is
             | some kind of powerful solvent that might work. I don't want
             | to wire brush it off.
