Maggie’s Motivational Pic Thread v2.0 - - New Rules - See Post #1

I laughed a bit too hard at this. I may not have a wire bits drawer, but do indeed have bits of assorted wire hanging. With as many things as I fix/make/repair, I often need to use one. And that may not be all of my ‘tism…. 🤪
I have a woodworking shop and a "Toy Box" where I work on my military collection/vehicles.

I frequently have folks come to me and tell me the hardware store sent them to me. It seems they went to the store and could not find what they needed. The store owner told them to come see me.

Magpul - 2025 New Maztech X4-FCS & X4-LRF

I've seen it. While that might work out for some, it lacks the ability to PID at range with thermal which is pretty important lol
Oh absolutely. You just know there’s a blob there at that distance with the thermal. Not sure if the day or night lens can help you pid at that range. Or any other civilian offerings

Another thread was batting Y/T around so I ask.
I find myself watching it at times for info on things I'm interested in, but like some of the videos I see of my life's work, Resip Engines & EPG/SG (Electrical Power Generation & Switch Gear) there is a lot of B/S on there. Some of the B/S is detectable from the gate, some takes a few seconds/minutes to grasp they have no clue to what their trying to convince you they are an expert in/on.

I'm sure you have found this to be true in your area or work/experience as well. So the question is why is it the Y/T B/S'ers always have a bigger channel (followers/views) than those who know what their talking about? In talking to long time friends in the trades w/different back rounds, ie welding, machining, fab'ing they see the same thing? Is it because of presentation or what?

The other thing I find that pisses me off when I stumble on it is those who do reviews hawking shit that is just that, from my area of life's work. I'm sure you see that as well. Be interesting to have a sticky about Y/T'ers that are FOS & putting out bad info to folks who are looking for info about just getting started in XYZ.
I never signed on to Y/T & never will, but think some kind of off channel fed back might make some of them think before being an expert for clicks views & money, via total B/S content they spew.
Flame away,...

YT is a hoot. Probably half or more videos are staged, but funny to watch and comment on the BS. Sends the onto a tailspin. They boot me for 24 hours a couple times each week. I log into another account and CM.

When I’m banned I get a message that says continued inappropriate comments will earn a permanent ban. That’s my goal.
