NOTE: YT has an issue, site-wide, with comments. That's the only way to put it. It's all sorts of issues, including comments looking like they're posting, but when you refresh the page/wait 10 seconds they're gone. In other instances comments will look like they're posting if you're logged in, but if you pay attention you'll see that the comment count doesn't actually go up, and if you log out you won't see your comment. So it's not actually there, even though YT is tricking people into believing it's there. Comments that do go through will trigger an updated comment count for the channel owner in the back door section of their channel, but it doesn't change on the main comment page. So you'll see that one EVERYWHERE on YT.......Comment counts that show for example 150 comments, but when you scroll down you'll only see half that, and that includes the replies. Comments that show there are 10 replies, but when you click to expand the replies only 6 are showing up. *Where are the rest of the comments? Where are the missing replies?* YT notifications will tell people - sometimes - that they have a reply to a comment they made, but when you click to go to the reply on the video.....it's being hidden. :/ Meanwhile some comments will trigger notification alerts for the channel owner, but others don't. It seems to be a 50/50 thing, if you're lucky. There's no rhyme or reason to it, it's completely arbitrary. It just goes and goes, the list of issues that I and many others have experienced all around YT, and including on my very own channel. I supposedly haven't had a single comment on a single one of my almost 30 videos in many many months, even on the dash cam vid with over 150K views. That's not right. YT has been screwing with my channel basically. Just like I went for a period of 4-5 months without a single new subscriber, when again I have vids getting thousands of hits per month. I hate YT, but, there's also not a better platform out there in terms of vid quality, audience reachability and other assorted features. But the broken comments sections of so many people's channels, along with the censorship that YT takes it upon itself to impose on comments site-wide, regardless of the channel owner's settings, makes it akin to China. And it's no surprise, since YT CEO Susan Wojcicki had visisted China several years ago, and when she returned.....YT comments have never been the same since. China knows how to censor like nobody's business and how to keep 1 billion+ people in the dark, and YT took a little visit to China to learn how to do the same over here. So hopefully if anybody posts a comment going forward (7/2/23) it will go through.

People in Florida don't understand how amazing that state is. I LOVE visiting it :)

True. I think it takes being an outsider who's lived in other parts of the country (or world) to appreciate it. A lot of people here kind of take things for granted. I've lived all around the country (born and raised in the northeast for 16 years, then lived all around south Orange County, CA for 10 years, Portland Oregon for 4 months [THE-WORST], Fort Lauderdale for 2 1/2 years, Charlottesville, Virginia for 8 years, and now back in south Florida again, Boca Raton, for the past 7 years. South Florida was the only place I've ever lived, moved away from, then came back to. There's just always been something about this place for me. It's on par with SoCal, in a way no other place in the country is, to the point where you can see how much of it has been modeled after SoCal, but it's way better in a lot of ways. The first thing that struck me when I first moved to Ft. Lauderdale in 2002 was how free this place was, versus "Nanny State" California. Way less laws, rules and regulations micromanaging people into the ground as opposed to Cali, where everybody is treated like an incompetent 5 year old that needs to be coddled and governed 24/7 with a heavy hand. I would joke back then that Florida was an "Exist At Your Own Risk" state.....which I love. :D And there's so much beauty here. It never gets old.

Not really. There's a lot I could say about that, having lived in south Florida for a total of ten years, in both Fort Lauderdale and Boca Raton. But no, you don't need to be rich/have big bucks at all to enjoy things down here. I've got multiple KZread vids posted on my channel of all kinds of things I've enjoyed in south Florida, and we're not rich. Don't need to be rich to enjoy the Water Taxi. Don't need to be rich to go to any of the fun places in the region. Lot of people think for instance you need to own a boat in order to truly enjoy going out on the water down here, but owning - and then having to store - a boat is a pain in the ass. If you want to go out on the water just pay somebody else to take you. There are other means to get out there on the water w/o having to be rich and owning a boat. We live in east Boca, a mile and a half from the ocean, in a nice apartment, which sounds rich, but it didn't require it. Tom and I split the rent and bills, and it's easy. Though yes, many apartments down here are 4x the cost of what you'd pay elsewhere in the country. But ours is a decent one that doesn't cost 2 grand a month. I've truly enjoyed all my time spent at Spanish River beach here in Boca.....which is totally free. It's a beautiful, underdeveloped beach, and for that reason was listed in "Florida's Living Beaches" book as being one of the 100 best beaches in the entire state. I've also enjoyed my time at other beaches further north in the rest of Palm Beach County. So much natural beauty, whether beaches or parks that people can enjoy, go snorkeling and swimming in, etc. and none of it requires big bucks.

@@areguapiri Having been around it for ten years let me tell you.....I don't think it's worth it. :D The rich people down here are some of the nastiest I've ever encountered. I've worked up close and personal around it, with some high end jobs, been right in it. What's required to get all that "stuff," be it the mansion, the yacht, the sports cars, takes a.....certain kind of person. A person that in my experience was already usually pretty empty and not nice to begin with. Then once they get all that stuff they feel like they're a hamster in a wheel, always having to hustle to be able to keep that stuff, and existing in constant competition to impress and outdo everybody else around them in their little rich country club circles. Totally distorts whatever bit of "human" they had left inside them. It's such gross energy. *"The things you own end up owning you."* The richer so many people are the more mean, entitled and hateful they seem to get. I have so many stories of what I've encountered down here. When I see those mansions and yachts and whatnot, I see behind it, to the truth. What was really involved for those people to get there and what type of people they've so often become. So I don't envy it, or their lives. Give me my free, undeveloped beach to sit on and watch the sun rise, or one of those natural areas to walk around full of nature, or the El Rio Trail to bike on, also full of nature. Nobody needs the fancy privately owned mansions and boats. The real meaning of life isn't that. Anyway, just my two cents for people to ponder on. :)

Are there gators in the intracoastal?

@CarissaConti

4 жыл бұрын

Not that I know of. The Intracoastal is salt water, and Gators live in fresh water. But I've heard there can be "biting fish," aka, small sharks, so I wouldn't go swimming in it. In this vid when I'm on the Water Taxi in Fort Lauderdale there's a point where we pass by "Beer Can Island," a very shallow area where people anchor their boats and get out and mingle around in the water, drinking and such, and I read a story somewhere where somebody who was doing that got bit by something. That's all I need to hear. :D

@@CarissaConti gators are less salt tolerant than crocodiles (Florida does have Salt Water Crocodiles, but very rarely are seen) in almost all instances you will find Gators in the backwaters and tributaries but they never come down to the edge of the ICW, also you can find them in man made ponds and local community lakes. In the ICW you have a good change to get bitten by a bull shark. One animal you will see on occasion in the inter-coastal waters is the otter and they can bite if provoked. Barracuda is also know to surf the ICW, never a fun time when you run into one, they are a predatory fish and will attack without provocation. - If you are in the West side of FL, the Gulf of Mexico has more dangerous fish that live in inter-coastal and gulf waters, like the Box jellyfish or the Blue-Ringed Octopus.

Indeed! As I reply to this it's January 25th, smack in the middle of winter...and it's 79 degrees here in Boca and partly sunny. :) Love it....

FL is beautiful!! Been living here for 5 months now, but let me tell you people are very nasty out here. I haven’t seen people as rude and nasty as they are in FL. The more south you go the worst it gets.... I don’t know if it’s the water of FL or the Newyorkers that they migrate here makes people to behave the way they behave. It’s kinda expensive (I pay $2700 for 2 bed room apt), but hey I am like 10 minutes away from the beach hahah and can’t beat the weather.

I so agree with you - THE-WORST-PEOPLE-EVER down here. It's completely a "parasites invading from the nasty northeast" thing. Any actual native Floridians that I've met were the nicest people. So it's a New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts and Rhode Island thing, unfortunately. They come down here and bring their nasty ways and awful "culture" with them. I don't have enough bad things to say about them. :D What sucks is that they can't just come down here and enjoy Florida in its natural state, as is. They have to try to turn it into the subtropical version of the northeast......naming everything after "New York" or "New Jersey." NY this, and NY that, Manhattan this and Brooklyn that, Jersey this and Boardwalk that, in all the store names. It's like.....YOU'RE NOT IN FREAKING NEW YORK ANYMORE, PEOPLE!! LET IT GO!!! It's amazing what we'll all put up with to be near the beach and to have nice warm weather in the winter! Anyway.....welcome to Florida! Try not to let the parasites from the northeast get you down.
