Are they not for ceiling fans? The two fans I've installed needed them.

Watched it yesterday, really liked it, found the "never gonna..." very cheeky

What am I looking at? Are those lids? Is there a reason one can't simply throw them in the recycling bin?

Remove, sure, have a problem with, yeah I can see it, permaban? That one feels a bit excessive, though incels do tend to be insufferable.

Except when it's YouTube recommendations, then they only pay attention when it's wrong and not when it's right.

I mean, I used to believe people were better at keeping track of those things, but now I know a lot of people aren't even aware of all of their subscriptions.

It's likely a fair amount of people forget and later get charged for quite a while, they just bank on those.

I've got some generic memory foam pillow, best pillow ever.

In the past few years I've seen "turns out printer ink is a scam" videos trending at least three times on YouTube, so I'm assuming printer ink.

Hey, congrats! Do you still watch user created video content? If so, where? I'm open to different platforms but I don't usually watch the ones I know of.

I'm glad I'm seeing responses like this, while I'm not a ride or die ltt fan, I really dislike unfair criticism getting mixed in with reasonable criticism, it muddies the waters.

What I hope will happen is:

  • They find the problems internally that lead to Madison's experience (amongst others we may not know about).
  • address them
  • contact the corresponding authorities if necessary
  • they get more serious about doing things right
  • they somehow make it clearer that their YouTube channels are more entertainment oriented than technical, that not all of their videos featuring tech are reviews and that they attempt to bridge the gap between the two leaning on the entertainment side (I've seen way too many people talking about journalistic integrity and reviews and stuff like that, it's evident many see any of their non reviews as reviews)
  • make private (and public if the affected are okay with it, remember not everyone wants that and a victim's retribution is not yours to receive)
  • they slow down on the videos, holy fucking shit, I get they want an element of chaos and casual disorder but they should always be in control at least after filming.

I am 50/50 on whether I think they will do what's right as a priority, maybe even less given the severity of what Madison described, though hopefully the situation was a bit less horrible than it seems from her retelling of the events and more fixable than just firing a bunch of tech bros that are unable to understand the line between sexual harassment and playful banter.

I think that's the point of a third party investigator, collect information to deliver in a usable way that they can act upon.

Whether they'll procede correctly to that is to be seen, I just don't like how people are bloodthirsty more than they are wanting justice and corrections, that will certainly color their reaction to whatever move they end up making.

Before anyone jumps at my throat, if they fall, I'm okay with it, though losing the promise of the lab is disappointing.

If you remove the observations and limit yourself to the events in her telling of the events, I feel like it's enough to believe her mental health was rightfully deteriorated by the workplace.

Unless you're insinuating you believe it's made up, which imo is a bad take, a possibility yes but dismissive as hell.
