Discussing with @wirestyle22 how Linus Tech Tips has become a "Brand Name of Data Loss".
I watched one video and I was so confused at how these guys get millions of views. Seems to be a scam
It's the "Reality TV" of IT. They aren't IT guys, or they don't act like them on the show. They are just clueless people with technology showing how badly and foolish things can be done. It's like a big joke. For some reason, people watch it like it's "Keeping Up with Linus Tech Tips" to see what dumbassery they do today. I'm sure he's a bright guy who knows where his bread is buttered and gives all this insanely obviously bad advice because people like to watch train wrecks. No way he's as dumb as he pretends to be, he just knows how to get views. Good for him. No IT person should ever watch it, but for the ignorant masses, it's some surreal tech entertainment show.
This one is classic.

There is a wood roach in my office
I am not happy about that. The dog tried to catch it but it managed to hide pretty well.Bit of BBQ sauce, some red onion, chick peas you're set.
Throw another roach on the barbie!

Got a link to that? I love world music and know nothing of Moravian folk songs... would love to hear them.

It is 2 classic pedals in 1 - LM308 chip Rat / late 70s Big Muff with the IC instead of transistors. Never seen these 2 together, and I actually saved $ vs buying 2 collectible pedals. And custom green paint / blue LEDs.
