I'm so happy this man nerded out about heat pumps for a few hours.
But now, all I see is inferior heaters.
It's the burden of knowledge
Having been on long term sick leave for 15 years means you have to do something with your time and I spend a lot of it learning new things to various depths. I now understand why some (though not all) older people are angry: when you know a lot about a lot you see how bad many things are. There's so much inefficiency, shit design, shit quality, shit shit everywhere. It hard to not let it get to you.
And as things degrade you remember how it was.
And this one is….. 1600 watts. Surely this “large” room heater will be……. Siiiixxxxteen hundred watts.
Who is that? I love heat pumps too and would happily listen to someone talk about them for hours
boy are you one of today's lucky 10,000!
What do you mean lucky 10,000?

Search YouTube or revanced or whatever other free service for Technology connections, also the alt channel Technology Connextras.
I watched his video on renewable energy and it was awesome. That ending was very unexpected but he killed it. Thanks for the info
Gracias
This man managed to make a 30 minute video about door stoppers that I watched to the end
I'm so happy he's become an internet phenomenon that warrants reaction images now lol
.......HOURS???
Bro's got multiple, hour+ long, videos about various types of heat pumps.
And somehow im riveted. Doesn't feel like droning on. I wish I could communicate like him.
The amazing ability of a Midwestern to talk about the most mundane shit for hours and not lose you is a magic super power.
Hours of videos about dishwashers too
He videoed about dishwashers so hard he's got his own line of dish detergent now.
