content: I'm reading, and lately seems (?) like EEVBLOG postings came down, a bit, with the Warfare crisis. That makes sense, however, I'm wondering; what role does the optimistic and helpful topics have, for folks just simply looking to close out their day / evening, with some subject, far far away from any 'political landscape'.That's the question; because it's not necessarily a delusional 'everything is great', but rather, simply a break, maybe, before sleep takes over.I know that, for me, a really really GOOD movie will put me out, there in bed with headphones. A boring movie, and insomnia strikes.The best example, lately, is NASA - YOUTUBE, on the outer planets probes, with stunning detail.EEVBLOG postings often have that 'no politics' quality, and I'm starting to notice, that's maybe a difficult line to walk, reining in some of the more extreme (obvious) biased.But, I certainly don't think such 'silly', or 'satirical' threads are out of place...especially when it's nightime as that's traditionally for more 'light' pursuits (like a good old fashioned Three Stooges Movie.I'll tune back in, on THE WAR, later. Besides, I do not feel an 'honest' relation with most media;In that context, it is even MORE valid, to wander off, to some pleasant, funny, interesting VIDEO posted related to my passion for electronics.

content: Not everything on this forum is "escape" material, but there is enough variety that I can pick and choose most days to find something useful for that purpose. Many a day has been spent here feeling ill or avoiding work (I just realised I currently fit into both categories)."EEVBlog is a more productive use of your time than reddit"

content: Yes, WHALES, I sporadically have to go in bed, due to 'chronic fatique' / LYME disease. Put on something constructive-like, as simple bed rest is, obviously, BORING in itself. But with a decent video narration can lay and listen. For example, (back to April 24th 2021 post, by Tesla Engineer), I've been able to, finally, make better sense, of emerging 'SELF-DRIVING' technology.As to the more frivolous, keeping a couple 'limits' allows for some 'unwinding'.You ought to hear my (whole) distressed CAT story, regarding shut-in situations...That cat, stuck alone in house next door, while owner slowly dying in nursing home, I 'befriended', (thru front window).Point is, for that distressed shut-in alone CAT, my laser pointer TOY was a hit; That was all she wanted, play, play, play. Point being; she demanded THAT simple / stupid frivolous game, of chase the red dot.8 months was a long time, for me, there too...
