:lol: A little dab'l do ya! A pinhead amount is applied to spark plug threads......at end of job the stuff is on the ceiling and you look like the tinman.

I am not laughing at the $10/can solvent. I was addicted to that stuff at the shop (addicted to it's cleaning properties) Nonetheless, it was an expensive habit.
Hope you're doin' something fun.

Haha.. yeah that anti-seize is like highly concentrated dye! Probably cheaper to throw them out and buy new gears!

Welcome to Youtube-as-a-career.... lots of time saying nothing. I watched a video the other day, where the channel discussed something being shown on another channel, which was debunking something being shown on a third channel about a fourth channel.... multi-level marketing, lots of video minutes, no new content.

That one irritates me too.

You have to be thorough, put the time in, and do your own investigations, mate, before you can comment :P

Oh, wait, no you don't, this is the Internet.

Carry on.

eBay sellers that don't care if the item gets damaged in shipping really piss me off. A rare orange can Race Prep modified motor bundled with a Dirtytrax B-last ESC and a couple of servos? Sure, throw them all in a Ziploc bag, stick em in an envelope and send it on it's way. I guarantee the servos are what bent the fin tips on the ESC. Sure the motor had some scars before shipping, but it didn't need to get banged up worse over a 1000 mile delivery. Argh!!! 😤🤬

Ebay again: Not being able to create a listing for Kyosho Nerf Bars because ebay's algorithm recognizes Nerf as a brand name, and for some reason having two brand names in the auction title is a problem.

It's not just the documentaries, 99% of the "how to" vids are absolutely worthless. Most of them are by folks who have no idea what they're doing, the few you can find from "pros" or reasonably knowledgeable people tend to leave out the majority of useful info, but they sure can praddle on about nothing. :roll:

While near the topic, YouTube shorts and Facebook shorts... Not only a waste of time as typically either the end seems to be cut off or they are simply pointless, but also hands down without a doubt some of the worst advise I've ever seen. Anything for a click.

YT is demanding that content creators make shorts for their channels. One of the channels I watch just talked about this and he started a second channel just for the shorts, nothing else, and he's not intending to put them on his main channel because he claims that gets complaints from his viewers about them and that they go unwatched. But, YT demands them, so . . . :roll:

5G phone service.

It doesn't make any sense to have 5 bars of service but there is nothing there.

Those people on TV that play video games on the moon with aliens that vaporize astronauts say they have 10G service. Apparently that's more G.
