Re: Ask HN: Which YouTube channels do you watch regularly?
#22I don't watch anything particularly, although after a stressful week I sometimes like to relax by getting mildly drunk and watching all those 'FAIL' YT clips.
However a few weeks ago I remember a HN article that linked to some Canadian who milled a nut and bolt out of potato. His clips were great and I don't even have a clue about engineering. Does anyone know who this is as I am having a hard time finding it again.?
EDIT: FOUnd him - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChWv6Pn_zP0rI6lgGt3MyfA
Great! Now I have something to look forward to tonight! XD

#26AvE is great. His humor is a bit of an acquired taste, and not in a good way, but he’s definitely knowledgeable in a field I’m completely unfamiliar with. He does a lot of incredible tear downs and evaluations of power tools and other things like that with pretty stunning analysis.

I cannot stress more, though, that his humor is an acquired taste. If his content and knowledge was any less I would have dropped him in a heartbeat. Maybe it’s just my culture, but the sexual overtone can go off the wall at times.

#29I'm a Rachel Maddow addict.
They dont show it in my part of the world, so every morning (Tuesday to Sat) I jump on at 9am and watch it live on youtube... some very kind souls all hijack it and stream it live for free.
The streamers change periodically as they get shut down, but its pretty reliably easy to jump on and search for LIVE "rachel maddow"
