I was served this video as well haha.
Probably because I watched his dishwasher, window awnings, and Peltier module mini-fridge videos. They were good too.

I watched that a few days back, it was an interesting video! In fact, I've watched most of his content just to learn more about how things work. It really is a great channel, even if he does repeat himself a little.

There's a chrome extension I use that brings back the dislike button and dislike count

as far as I understand, it's not a real dislike count - it takes the ratio of like:dislike and multiplies it by the total like count.

I never understood why they've done this. Removing dislikes or just never having them. Like, I really appreciated finding a youtube video tutorial, then immediately seeing the significant dislikes, and moving on to find a better tutorial. Now I have to read the comments, only to realize this video got recommended due to its comment activity, rather than what the context of the comments are. Like, jesus, that makes no sense, bad videos shouldn't be recommended based on how many people comment about how crappy it is.
If I'm extra irritated, I'll report the video claiming misleading or dangerous information or whatever.

People need to know when their stuff sucks.

Youtube needs to bring back the visible dislike count. Actually all social media needs a dislike. Add one to my work Teams channels too while we are at it.

I don't know if yours is just more locked down than mine is but we can react with any emoji in the list on teams. We've had fun with that, including the clip art of the shark captioned "we got sued"

UI, better and better every iteration. At least we have a like button so we can feel validated or whatever.

I hate that I need to click the little round button for "Go to first new post" or the little square for "Go to last post" or it always goes to post 1 lol

Still holding on to the past, boys.

Gotta know, did you have a calendar alert to let you know when to respond, or just figured you'd start reading from the beginning again?

Many threads of this type have tried, none have lived.

This winter is fucked. Usually we get a handful of snowfalls, it melts within a few days, and a lot of rain.
This year we've had basically a storm every 3 days, all snow up until a week ago and now we've had a week of freezing rain, or snow that melts and flash freezes.

Sloped driveway is a shitshow but the land rover seems to be happy to climb it even as a sheet of ice.

Nowhere has salt, and people are scalping bags of salt on facebook marketplace lol.

Spring can start anytime now

I don't know that this is strictly true.

Most of my stuff sits outside (only the E30 has a 'reserved' garage spot).
They did specifically ask where I would park, but didn't seem to have any issue when I told them about parking in my driveway.

Oh, that's good to know. I was under the impression they required that, based on how the question was presented
