   Glad to see Grady’s channel get a mention on here. He, along with aVe, NileRed, Steve Mould, Big Clive, and Ben Kraznow are some of my favorite YouTube science creators.

   I have this problem just with the torpedo captor x speaker simulator. At first I thought it was a game changer for apartment guitar playing. However the plethora of speaker, mic, and placement options makes me spend way too much time browsi

   Doug’s a legit craftsman. His scratch builds are second to none. His video on phase inverters was also a game changer for me as a young builder.

   The idea of someone unironically having a vacuum tube radio repair-related bone to pick with Paul Carlson is just funny. He should make detailed reaction videos where he shit-talks Paul for his poor technique, lack of electronics knowledge,

   I can’t recommend enough Sean’s “Biggest Ideas in the Universe” video series [1] It’s a series of 24 1-2 hour lectures + Q&A/recitations that assumes no prior knowledge of physics and aims to get you roughly to the knowledge level

    I hear what you’re saying but I think it could also be done with the carrot instead of the stick. I believe Colonial’s largest shareholders are Koch, KKR, and Shell. If Secretary Granholm privately tells Messrs. Koch, Roberts, and Mackenzie

    I spent a summer’s worth of college kid shitty retail wages to buy one of these off eBay in 1998. It was by far the most expensive thing I’d ever purchased in my life. Learning Solaris inside out, including the forth prompt, let me bullshit

    What’s funny is that bullshit factories like McKinsey and BCG convert shallow insights such as this into billion dollar pipelines. You could turn this blog post into a PowerPoint presentation, and corporate boards will happily pay you $250k
