#video promising a revolution in #air-conditioning. A lot of talking-head filler and scientific errors. The purported revolution is Magtor’s linear motor to drive a piston-pump compressor at 60Hz, purportedly 33% more efficient. #cooling #HVAC

#video by #survivalists on portable solar power stations, mostly talking-head filler, although he does show some of them. Says many are fraudulently sold as “solar generators” and also use shitty lead-acid batteries, but that in “the last couple of years” (02023–4) they’ve “really taken off”. There’s a nice data table at 12'34" of cost per watt hour, ranging from 49–51¢ (Eco Play, SolarPlay) to US$1.21–1.22 (Anker, Bluetti). I don’t think he’s tested all the units in the table, though; he’s just using their advertised capacity.

#video by #survivalists on the #USA election #politics. Recommending, before the election: get cash out of the bank, make sure your gas tanks are full, develop a family communications plan, stock up on groceries, do urban errands early, stock up on ammunition, try shutting off your main breaker for a few days to test how you’d handle a power outage, get to know your neighbors, charge up all your devices. Just video of some jackass named #MagicPrepper talking to a camera on a shooting range.

#video by #survivalists on #USA FEMA recommendations for items to keep on hand: drinking water (4ℓ/person/day), food, emergency radio (and batteries), first aid kit, dust mask (!), flashlight (and batteries), a whistle, plastic sheeting and duct tape, moist towelettes, garbage bags for pooping, and plastic ties, wrench and pliers to turn off utilities, a can opener, a local map (on paper). This is from March 02020, so it represents a pre-COVID or early-COVID perspective. The talking head filler dude also recommends small-denomination cash (for power outages when stores are still open), a portable water filtration system, rubber gloves, and a propane camping stove.

#video by #survivalists on the #USA election #politics and potential civil unrest if there is debate over who really won the election. Just talking-head filler of some dumbfuck talking to a camera.
#video by #survivalists on the #USA election #politics. Just talking heads. Recommending stocking up on water, getting a generator, stocking up on propane, stocking up on groceries, etc. Seems like mostly generic prepping advice.

#video on #bootstrapping silicon materials from waterglass and ethanol, says acetic acid works too, though 1M acetic acid in a ziploc bag didn’t work very well. However, his silicone rubber kept creeping and exuding waterglass. A commenter claims that polyvinyl alcohol or acetate also works great and is super bouncy.
#video on #Godot #politics, apparently there was some kind of mass banning of people who criticized their “Wokot” initiative. Juan Linietsky took his Twitter account private after saying “There are lots of people with very different views working together happily, the way it should normally be.” The Godot Foundation Board got involved and condemned the moderator (of an unofficial Godot-related Discord server) “xananax” who was calling their political opponents “cockroaches”.
