The big washing machine cabal doesn't want you to know. I bought a fairly expensive washing machine 3-4 years ago (Miele) and although the initial experience was not that great (I won't get in to it, but basically I got a new unit in the end), no issues so far. Saying that, they do not offer a long warranty here (outside of rare promotions) and when I asked the technician why that is he told me there is no need because they last. 😄 I just laughed in his face and the answer I got eventually was that it's because the water is very hard in this region of Europe and it kills everything, also people do not do the proper maintenance to combat that. Basically you need to do a cleaning cycle with an anti-limescale solution every 3 months or use water softener tablets during the wash. I do that so I guess we will se how long it last. Also do not buy Bosch, everything I got from them failed in warranty. Built in oven, stove, small appliances I either exchanged or returned, the only thing that lasted was the dish washer we barely use. I didn't buy their top of the line models, but I also didn't go for the cheapest ones... For my place, I spent new car money on appliances so in 10 years I will see if I'm an idiot or if it payed for itself.

You can check easily by seeing if it ends up in your watch history on the yt account. I'm pretty sure it does. I like watching this guy from time to time. Not very relevant for the EU folks but it's interesting to see what the people in the US use. Also like this guy. Found out some pretty great and new (for me) things, which I will for sure do if I ever get a house. Although I hear some things are even possible to do in a apartment.

@PK htiw klaw eriF Color me embarrassed... Idk why I never subbed to him. I think he got me to watch Wolf Children. @Bartimaeus I'll give them a go again. I know my brother watches them all the time. But he consumes TV Shows and movies like a crackhead. @Hurlshort Maybe you find some new stuff here. @majestic I heard about the guy, but never really dared to watch his videos. Forgot where I heard about him though, probably from some streamer.- Youtube recommendations, let's beat the algorithm
@Bartimaeus I do know about red letter media, but as I don't consume that many movies and tv shows anymore there is no appeal for me. There is also the laugh... Oh man, there is a channel that does very similar stuff (analyses films from a technical perspective), but it's been ages since I've seen it. I'll try to find it as I think you would like it. edit: Or it could very well be that it's the same channel...- Youtube recommendations, let's beat the algorithm
I've been thinking about doing this topic for a long time. The idea is to share your favorite channels, or the channels you are subscribed to. Here are mine: It's mostly mechanical stuff, restorations and car stuff, oh and Project Farm, he reviews everyday items in very innovative ways. My favorite ones are probably m539, south main auto, Baumgartner and ronald finger. I guess Primitive Technology is getting back in to the swing of things. Guess it would help to do a short description of each channel... South main auto - An honest mechanics shop and his day to day work Cutting Edge Engineering - an Aussie metal worker who fabricates and repairs parts for heavy duty machinery Marty T - A New Zealander living in the outback and restoring random junk M539 - BMW enthusiast who buys and repairs BMWs and usually sells them after Hoonigan - Ken Block media house which got famous with those Ken Block drift videos. They do random car stuff on that channel, but the quality is really random too. Throttle House - 2 Canadians (one is from England) reviewing cars Watch Wes Work - A small mechanics shop in a middle of no where Project Farm - Tool review/test channel (very useful channel) Tokyo Liama - Australian expat restoring a traditional Japanese house Baumgartner Restoration - An art conservator who restores paintings Andrew Camarata - A guy who builds a castle and plays around with his heavy machinery toys. Very long videos, but also very entertaining. Fuzzy Dice Project - How to restore cars as cheaply as possible Bedo's Letherwork - A cobbler and his day to day work Jafromobile - This channel is pretty old and niche. About a guy and his Hyundai Elantra trying to set good drag strip times. Mateusz Doniec - A very good fabricator Ronald Finger - A guy on a quest to restore a Pontiac Fiero. Good production quality. Primitive Technology - About a guy doing primitive technology. Think about what you could do if someone left you naked in a forest. my mechanics - A very meticulous tool restorer, who basically restores tools to better than new bad obsession motor sport - Two Englishmen on a never ending quest to create a 4 wheel drive rally mini. Geoffrey Croker - Man vs rust- What You've Done Today - Don't do today, what you can get someone else to do tomorrow
@Bartimaeus But how do you find new channels to follow?- What You've Done Today - Don't do today, what you can get someone else to do tomorrow
It doesn't in the yt feed but it does in the google discover feed. The stuff that ends up there is plain spooky. Although I heard it explained through location tracking they see devices that are near each other, but my location is always off...- What You've Done Today - Don't do today, what you can get someone else to do tomorrow
That is why I use private browsing and non google browsers. I even have youtube channels I watch in private/signed-out because I do not want my feed to be polluted with farming channels, chateau renovation or shoe cleaning (you would be surprised how many there are). The downside is that it does make the feed kind of stale.- Nvidia RTX Series
Lucky bastard...- Planescape: Torment 25th Anniversary Remake...

It's an anime for a twitter manga, I think you are expecting far too much from it. The manga was made to work as a one page = one chapter format. Also it pretty much embraces all the usual tropes. - Youtube recommendations, let's beat the algorithm
