  1. I bought an expensive dishwasher due to your advocacy (it has a crazy capacity/compactness with 3 drawers, small for cutlery) and 3 sprayers. If the information they provide for them is correct, both the extra space and the more efficient systems should be a saving over its warranty period, though electricity is pricy here. The other tradeoff is longer cycle lengths for the maximum economy. I had never used a dishwasher, and was reliant on your explaination and advice. Shortly after the birth of my son I became disabled and my wife would spend over an hour at night doing dishes and getting only 4 hours sleep. Your videos were life changing for our family. You have saved us hundreds of hours labour far in excess of the expense of operating it. Thank you.

  2. They don't really have a bad point towards others. Some overprepare which only really affects them. But to be honest in these time maybe frozen meat loses less value than inflation! I think some just have connection to the great depression and are hedging against that. Some find it fun. Homesteading and self sufficiency allows you to master your destiny and not strain others in a crisis.

  5. I disagree slightly. I think he's not realised that previously television and radio are pre-programmed feeds, and this agency is exclusive to us and readers of books. Now we can find out if something is true or not, no longer reliant on a single news source. The desire to control the information feed is the reason for many of the algorithmic changes. In fact, politics is in many ways healthier than ever, but for the longest time nobody needed to think, and so we're collectively out of practice. Many seek the reassurance of that single unified narrative that no longer exists, and I posit should not have ever existed, and the beginning of the breakdown of fixed political affiliations. The dominant side forgot it had to and how to argue its case, but that will change eventually. Don't be too pessimistic.

  8. Expect does not just mean anticipate, but also can mean to believe it is reasonable or due. IE I expect good behaviour.

  10. ​ @YannickBo housework isn't work? I consider it an important part of my household duties to keep up to speed and research including these videos and refine how we operate. Not to say they aren't entertaining, too.

  15. PCs have dropped drastically in power use and continue to do so due to reduction in nm size of semiconductors.

  16. You need a little more for water vapour boil off, but only slow or expensive flat plate kettles allow single cup volumes. Usually you just fill to minimum or learn the size of your mugs.

  17. We didn't exist in the TV generation, you thought what you were told to think about even worse than an algorithm that at least loosely fixates on your interests. That people can care about things other than that reported in a newspaper or on tv is astounding, and yes, we don't want to lose it again. Before TV and radio, our ideas were collected by local social interaction. What we have in the internet age is new, scary for some, and we are weaning many that had the comfort blanket from it, A recomendation instroduces them gently to the idea of control, those scared of it never engaged before. That few % are the same % that used the internet for ourselves in the first place, but it suits few people.

  19. You can STILL BUY THESE in the UK. No patent issue here I guess. You do take batteries out of some things in case they leak. You sure you can't get Duracell ultra power batteries?

  20. I use grayjay for watching youtube and purely use subscriptions on it. It has a better search able to search other platforms. I only open youtube to comment and its frustratingly hard to find the video I want despite matched subscriptions. Certainly I won't appear on your statistics despite always using a subscriptions feed. Bluesky and mastodon were pushed and adopted by the most politically agressive algorithm-thinkers. We call them NPCs because their opinions are as predictable as an NPC in a videogame, only able to parrot the opinion they have been fed and having never heard a counter argument. You have a youtube audience, and youtube viewers are driven by productive disagreements in the comments, very different to the people you are referring to.

  21. Wasted PAPER? Of the things to be worried about? Like swapping to plastic bags to save the trees again.

  22. I'm a tea drinking tea drinker. Tea is simple enough, but people still buy the cheapest nastiest excuse for tea, and scald it (burn to you) If you properly prepare your tea (95 degree black tea (not boiling) 70 degree green tea, 60 degree white tea, (preheating the mug helps) and brew for 2 minutes only for most teas, you'll discover what made it sensational. White tea is expensive but particularly delicious without milk or sugar like black tea, as it is quite sweet using tea flowers/buds. But milk and sugar taste great, and you probably want the extra body for breakfast. Green tea is the most... random. Usually only japanese is remotely tea flavoured, usually some herby spicy fruity or flowery mix. And no, US, tea is not to be flavoured. You can keep your earl grey and your camomile and your lemon. Iced tea- you can keep that too- though things like berry 'tea' can be wonderful hot or cold. In Britain we had 'tea' before we found the tea plant, and still will drink hot water with whatever in. Nettle tea, dandelion tea, whatever weed won't kill you. Hot drinks are what seperate us from the animals.

  23. Try LEDs they'll save you yet again.

  24. I have a 40 inch monitor and the first led died at near spot on 30,000 hours- exactly what it says in the manual. I watched it die. Of course this beauty got fresh leds- i even paid someone to do it for me solely because funding independent repair keeps the skills alive. Thanks philips for meeting the specification and the extra free time its giving me still.

  29. ​ @BedsitBob 5 years out but, the EU reg for toilet cistern capacity infuriates me. I set it to use as much water as works with one flush. If you make me use two or god forbid bleach as well think how much damage you're doing to 'save water'

  31. Annnnd now you know why Brexit was popular in the UK. These things are rare but there have been so many over the years and there is nobody to complain to once passed. The EU is cursed with 'almost fantastic' regulation that makes you wonder what planet they're on. Our politicians in the UK blamed the EU for decades, now we can at least blame them.

  32.  @Padlix  us plugs aren't safe for it, they'd ideally change, but it saves on copper and wire costs as you can make the wires thinner.

  36.  @TastyPC  incorrect, the performance has increased again as it had to but intel wasn't ready to drop the semiconductor size. The power use for a given process is the same. But that is a shock as it has so far only decreased from intel, as they pushed energy efficiency as a selling point.

  37.  @christophervanzetta  i've been doing this a little longer. Also check your idle power use on a comparable machine from '02. It has changed quite a lot. A couple years back i replaced an office load of early 2000's machines and you wouldn't believe the power use reduction. That's not to mention FLOPS/watt. It isn't even a joke.

  39. Youtube refused to do that for me, deciding I needed to receive their paid for local media slots, so i watch youtube on grayjay now as the friction was too high doing that.

  41. Likely be a weight sensor with a decent polling rate. Essentially a movement sensor but like on phones the motion sensor can record audio.
