I do enjoy Cody’s Lab from time to time. I’ll have to check out This old Tony.

Stuff Made Here - blows my mind with each new video. I can’t even imagine being able to dream up his creations let alone design and create them.
Technology Connections - you didn’t know you were going to love learning about dishwashers and other appliances, but you are.
Foureyes Furniture - interesting custom furniture design and build sequences with very good editing and voiceover.
Marling Baits - Custom fishing lures that vary from lifelike (using real fish skin) to absurd (a lightsaber) to ultra absurd (a block of wood).
Project Farm - head to head comparisons of common tools or other household projects. Very no nonsense and a ton of information packed in quick.
Inheritance Machining - a man documenting rediscovering his passion for machining after inheriting his grandfather’s machine shop. Excellent narrative scriptwriting, recurring video elements, buttery smooth voiceover, and oddly satisfying machining footage.
I want to be a digital organizer, but I’m also a folder nesting whore and things get out of sight out of mind to easily. I find my daily tasks and todos are much more effective if I write them down in a small notebook that I always keep in my bag.
I bought a 25 foot leash when training my dog. I’ll never catch him if he doesn’t want me to, but I can get within 25 feet of him.
The pictures are correct, but they don’t show how traffic can back up for miles before the merge point with everybody sitting in just one lane, and some guy who has taken it upon himself to police everyone else’s “manners” swerving to block anyone who dares to the the open lane and “cut in line.”
I’ll add “The Great Automatic Grammatizator.” It’s my favorite by far, but I like all of the stories in “The Umbrella Man and other stories.”
When you wake up early after a snowstorm and nobody has gone out yet it looks so beautiful. The snow also dampens sounds, and it makes the sound of people shoveling their walks a little magical. Then six hours later it’s just dirty, and annoying.
I was accused of plagiarism in a college history class. Out of the four page paper, a single sentence came back as a high match to an article I had never read. The sentence was really generic too; something like “Skywalker light and sound became a leader in the industry.” I plead my case to the professor, and he believed me, but he still knocked me a letter grade.
Not truly classical, but Copland is my go to. For a single work, I could listen to Dvork’s 9th forever.
Locally biased, but I’ll die defending a burger from Runza as the best burger you can get in a drive through. I think it’s the bun that really sets it apart; it’s so soft.
I think I meant buy. I’ve edited the comment. That said, after rereading the story last tonight, the reason they buy the rights to authors names is to eliminate competition and maximize profits.
This reminds me of the short story “The Great Automatic Grammatizator” by Roald Dahl. In the story a machine is invented that can write great stories, but it’s creators go around buying the naming rights of authors so people will actually not their books.
Aldi has Frosted Mini-wheats that keep don’t get as soggy and hold on to the frosting longer.
Is Nebula good? Every time I watch Practical Engineering, I’m tempted to get it.
