No words can describe how much I love this man.
120Unfathomably based
I have learned a surprising about of useful real world information from his videos.
63Based and heat pump pilled

no words? i can describe your love for him in only 7 words: not as much as i love him
22
Through the power of buying two of them!
83Love his channel. He finds the most interesting devices and topics to talk about. Even when some of the electrical details go over my head, I still learn a lot. I share his fascination with pre- microprocessor electromechanical devices, even though I also love a good microprocessor. I annoy my wife with stuff I've learned from him all the time. Yes, including water heater facts. And because of him, I now run hot water tap until it runs hot before starting my dishwasher to make the first rinse more effective.
Also the man makes me feel contempt over things I had never even considered before. Taillights and blinker behaviors on cars, the rarity of single unit heating and cooling heat pumps, American outlets, power cords, and non-clicky switches, etc. And his indignant rage over product manufacturers competely missing the point of standards or choosing things like aesthetics or marketability over efficiency, safety, or usability becomes my own indignant rage.
73Still thought about him yesterday night when pouring liquid in the pre-wash compartment before starting the dish washer
16He’s the reason I switched to dry flake dishwasher soap. It makes so much sense! Why pay to ship what is mostly water? That’s the same reasoning (along with reducing waste from packaging) that I used to switch to SodaStream and kegs of beer. Bonus: I got an adapter for my SodaStream that allows me to run it off the kegerator CO2 cylinder, which is much cheaper than SodaStream’s own cylinder exchanges.

I wish I had known about heat pump water heaters before I replaced mine about 6 years ago. Heat pumps for home heating and water heating should be mandated by building code here in mild California. It’s the perfect environment for them. Unfortunately, I use heating so infrequently during our “winter” that replacing my perfectly functional furnace is not really worth it. So, instead I started using the heat pump mode on my portable air conditioner (yes, I know, but also used infrequently) to provide just those couple of degrees of heat that I need. It’s not bad, with a COP of 2.7.

I love this channel. He's like the robotics nerds in high school I never got to know. Taking shop and tech classes and engineering and stuff. The far side of the nerd island from the book nerds.
49Hey, that robotics nerd was me! I hung out with the book nerds on senior skip day, they were pretty cool.

You shall remain in this world and talk about
water heatersheat pumps*, forever.*See also the latent heat of vaporisation and toasters.
Edit: and dishwashers. And microwaves. Basically any home appliance.
41The toaster, that's where it's at

Also can I just take a second to shout out the completely underrated stock music on his channel…..
30This man nailed "dentist lobby music"
18I was going to say late 80’s early 90’s sitcom closing credits theme.
But yes, absolutely, perfect for the dental arts!!

Look for 'Floaters' on YouTube https://youtu.be/I8zNCukPmi8

He's active on Mastodon, too!
28I just discovered him a couple months ago, and basically just yes, this is the level of detail that I need.
Edit: also, I've wanted a heat pump since I was a kid, so, ya know..
22I love how many 1980s EPCOT tshirts he has worn over the years. Even has some 80S EPCOT memorabilia on the shelf behind him. Clearly a fan.
20Old Epcot was so cool, now it's just a tiny magic kingdom with booze
3It was about hope. That was the magic of future world. The feeling of hope and excitement for our future. Now it is about IP :-(

Right click
Report “I’m in this and I don’t like it”
I feel very seen rn
19I want an electric kettle now 😩
15I don't even use a microwave and after seeing one of his 2 videos on the better ones I was looking for a older one. He's that good
9My mum once ordered a kettle online, but it came with a US plug (I'm an Aussie) so we took it with us to leave at an apartment when we went on holiday to Hawaii.
The guy at customs had absolutely no clue what we were talking about and was convinced a "kettle" was a bag of mixed nuts.
5How anyone makes tea without a kettle with temp settings, I have no idea.
4Microwave— it’s not great, but many Americans don’t drink tea often

I'm completely addicted to that channel
12AGGRESSIVELY SMOOTH JAZZ
12The vast majority.
10I'm not familiar with this person or the subject of the meme, could someone please explain.
7Technology Connections makes very specific, detailed videos on tech stuff, appliances, etc. My recent favorite of his is about incandescent vs LED Christmas lights and his unending rage about LED lights looking like "a computer threw up on your lawn". The first I remember watching was about dishwasher tech and how great they are, but how terrible dish pods are.
20Youtuber who runs the Technology Connections channel, where he goes on wild deep dives into home appliances, and will often spend 45 minutes talking about dishwashers or sensor cooking in microwaves.

This would been great as a Cruelty Squad death screen.
