  HVAC has no right being this entertaining and yet here I am.

    Alec is the dude who made me willingly watch and enjoy 90 minutes of discussion on Dishwasher detergents.

    Or 30 minutes on just the color Brown

    Or 60 minutes (across multiple videos) on Christmas LED lights

    Suffice it to say, he can make mundane topics pretty interesting to watch

      my dishes are coming out clean from my dishwasher thanks to him

      unfortunately people in my house keep “rising” the dishes before putting it in. I don’t understand

    Alec is the kind of person who could make a two-hour video essay about the color brown and make it absolutely fascinating.

      Oh wait, he semi did ( a 20m video instead of 2h )

      Turn it up to 100!

      A 50min video on Mechanical pinball machines which is indeed fascinating!

  I love how thorough he always is with his content and producing followups to answer questions. One of the best YouTubers for this type of content right now.

  I want an ac, but getting one installed is so ridiculously expensive.

    I had a split ac unit installed about 5 years ago and it cost me like 1300€. What are they charging for it where you live then?

    • altima_neo@lemmy.zip ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      $16,000-20,000 usd for a 2-3 head mini split heat pump

      Depends on the system, the living space, and the existing HVAC. The box itself can be well under $2k USD, but things like upgrading your ducting can add a lot to the bill if you have a central air system.

      Heat pumps are a racket out in the US right now, it’s artificial expense to pad out pockets, there is no practical reason.

    Maybe go for a Window Rattler instead? Easy to install.

      Don’t you need those weird windows for that?
