You can frame-by-frame on YT by pressing '.', but yes, still an amazing catch by parent

And ',' to go back a frame, for those that didn't know.

Even though those are the correct controls I tend to think of the < and > as the mnemonics because it makes kind of sense (but those are shift)

That's why they are the keys in fact. Those are the usual shortcuts for frame navigation in some video editors.

And < and > increase and decrease playback speed, for what that's worth

And are placed somewhere completely else on Swedish keyboards but it was an Aha-moment when I realized as a child that the keys ,. was really supposed to be <> for arrows in some games 30+ years ago :-)

mpv controls!

I remember the first time I absentmindedly pressed . or , on YouTube and was shocked that they used MPlayer's keybindings (and implemented such an obscure, but useful, feature). Oddly probably the least copied feature across video platforms, I like it a lot, but nobody else seems to have stolen it. (Can anyone believe that Twitch has gotten away with such a terrible player? I remember people used to send streamers Twitch VODs to review, and every time they paused the video gets greyed out. Twitch never changed this, and now people use YouTube for that.)

>You have absolutely amazing eyes.

blushes thanks

It was probably more the attention to detail and dataprocessing and recognition loop.

You have an amazing brain just doesn't really tickle all the same physiological switches though.

The joke is more that "you have amazing eyes" more means "you have beautiful eyes", at least in British English. "you have excellent eyes" would be how I'd comment on someone's eyesight.

And some of us don't even speak or write English as a first language, imagine!

If the op felt I was flirting with them then that's entirely their problem :)

It wasn't the OP who replied

> "you have excellent eyes"

"good eyes" or "well spotted" would be more idiomatic, I think.

Some of that processing attributed to the brain happens in the eyes themselves, so "amazing eyes" still fits :-)

If someone called my brain amazing I'd blush :)

Hah, I must admit that I didn't catch it the previous times I watched the video when I heard about the incident; It wasn't until I learned he had extinguishers strapped to the back of his legs that I went hunting for them in the video.

Even knowing what I was looking for I had to do frame-by-frame a couple of times before spotting them, and once you see them it's obvious but to spot them not knowing they are there is quite a feat.

If you search YouTube for “Trevor Jacob” there is several pilot folks who have spent tons of time going through every little detail of the video. They’ve reconstructed the flight path, where it landed, you name it. It was one of those “hive mind” kind of deals and it was fun to follow during the month or so after the original video was posted.

Hey, please don't cross into personal attack like this. You started a whole pointless flamewar and it's completely gratuitous.
