          That was good, not in the US and my bosch dishwasher only has one dispenser I already moved from tablets to powder a while ago, now I’m going to experiment with a sprinkle of powder in the main compartment, to help with the pre wash.

          This is why I love lemmy thanks everyone

        Had a lamp in the garage I was planning to donate when I could. It had been sitting there for 4 years unused because it was incompatible with a lamp shade and too damn bright no matter what bulb I used.

        Saw the technology conextras (his second channel) video on DIY milk glass, now that lamp is the only light I use in the office, I love it!

          Actually, it was just through the magic of making two accounts. A little trick I learned on youtube.

        His vinyl record episode was great. As an audiophile I truly appreciated learning how it works.

      I’ve got a playlist of all the videos I’ve already seen and I play it for background noise when I’m doing a task that I don’t want silence for but also don’t want music. Something about the pacing and cadence of his videos is strangely relaxing.

      I’m far from the target audience, I never thought I’d be interested in learning the difference between DVD+R and DVD-R, but he had me and my history loving arse with gas lamps, and I got hooked.

    Did you get this suggestion on YouTube 2 days ago?!?? It was so random and I like popcorn so I watched all the way through. Seeing this as a meme now is an odd coincidence.

    In the spirit of Alec’s pedentry, I must mention that lube does not work by making things moist, instead it works by reducing friction and preventing direct contact between solids. Oil based lubes are a prime example of this as they contain very little water and therefore is ineffective at making things moist but is still effective at reducing friction. Water by itself is actually a pretty bad lube.

    Also we’re talking about machine lube right? …right?

        I love his stuff. Each video I’ve watched has always started with “why the crap would I even care about this subject, but what the hell [play]”, and ended with me sitting at the edge of my seat, after laughter and intrigue. I love his stuff.

      Oof I envy you. I’ve seen my first video 1-2 years ago (the rice cooker one) and ever since I’ve watched all of his Videos (some three times) I’d love to get to experience all of them anew.
