He had a whole series where he met a submarine in the Artic and went aboard for a tour.

Probably meeting the guys from the straight up Russian connection where he gets his bootleg vodka from, and sells his cheap greasy porn movies, like the Bare Pimp Project, and From Russia With The Love Bone.

He has a podcast where he's pretty open about his faith, yeah. I stopped listening because his co-host has a real hero worship vibe going on and it got really annoying. I really enjoy his youtube channel.

Yeah, I kept waiting for him to turn to camera and tell me about Jesus.

He used to (maybe still does) have a bible verse in the closing credits. But he keeps his religious beliefs and politics out of his episodes and concentrates on the science of what he is up too.

You can tell he has a hard engineering background though, in this video for example they are having trouble getting the silly putty to stay where it needs to be. Instead of just putting it out there just before they shoot like some YouTubers would he talks about how they are never down range when the tank is pressurized.

There are other good safety moments in this one, he obviously understands the danger of what he has built and respects it.

He is 100% going to disappoint us someday with a hot politics or religion take but until then enjoy the osha compliant science.

He is (or was) working on getting a masters in mechanical engineering I think, so he's not a complete doofus, and I do enjoy that he focuses on safety unlike other youtubers who try to make their projects look as unsafe as possible even if they do know what they are doing.

The hydraulic log splitter I used had two, widely-spaced buttons that both had to be held down for the ram to move. It'd still be possible to lose a hand to it but you'd have to put actual effort into it.

I work at a commercial printing press, and the guillotine we have is less politically exciting than it sounds but is designed similarly: the machine won't operate unless you have both hands on the buttons, which are situated under the machine's table so your hands can't be anywhere near the blade when it comes down. This, and sensors above the table (where stacks of paper sit to be cut) prevent some other dingus' errant limbs from getting shorn off.

Of course, none of this prevented someone I worked with a long time ago, at a different company, from trying to disable the safety sensors because he kept leaning his head way the gently caress into the thing to see where his cuts were going to come down. His empty head kept breaching the sensor when he practically has his nose on top fo the paper stacks. (He was nearsighted as gently caress.)

He never did chop his own head off though, sadly. Instead, he was fired for disabling the safeties.

I've never seen the dude before this (heard of the channel though) but lmao, that's quite the narrative you've constructed there based on the one video.

I've called my father "sir" many times growing up. Not because he demanded it. Not because I feared him. It was because I respected him and it was usually when he was involving me in activities he was a demonstrable expert about. I suppose our own past histories colors how we perceive other's interactions.

And the god-squad I'm definitely not getting? Is it because he has a southern accent?

He's def got some faith, but yeah I don't get a god squad vibe from him, just a really genuine dude who is interested in bringing science and tech to a hungry audience.

If you haven't watched him get invited to stay on a nuclear powered attack sub for 3 days, this playlist is really good:

Pictured: The only good cop (a fictional one).

All of the people in his videos are just bog standard white bread southern dudes with extra mayo. Calling your dad sir is not that weird in that context. Even a bible verse tag in the credits is pretty tame for Alabama.

Maybe he's a frothing at the mouth about all the gays and feminists ruining america at home, idk, but there's nothing like that in the video, so whatever. When he builds a 1000 psi baseball cannon to defend gendered restrooms and "our heritage" I'll be worried.

Having been an aussie for all of my life, I have never called an older person I know sir or ma'am and the only people I called mr or mrs were teachers.

The only scenario I can see myself using sir or ma'am in is one where I don't feel comfortable shouting oi dickhead
