I mean the energy density in those explosives are orders or magnitude higher than the chemical energy in those batteries. All you'd succeed in doing is making a pretty awesome or terrible fragmentation grenade, depending how you look at it.

And a hell of a lot more cleanup. They said something about directing the force of the explosion towards the rock walls so the debris would mostly end up contained in a small area, making it easier to pick up afterwards. Imagine how much "fun" you'd have cleaning up the site with thousands of damaged lithium ion cells scattered everywhere.

Some absolute loving dickheads near me have a dad that sold a business for $1b and gave his kids $100M trust funds.

So, they did what anyone would do, start a ridiculous youtube channel showing how they are entitled dickheads with nothing to add to society.

Watch only if you want to be enraged.

That night we performed the rite and opened the gate.
Halfway through, I went to fix us both a coke float.
By the time I got back, he'd gone insane.
Plus, he'd left the gate open and there was evil everywhere.

I guess this is the right thread to ask. What's the goon opinion on Uncle Tony's Garage? As I'm probably buying a '65 Dart I've been doing research and looking at videos and of course UCG shows up. Seems like an old school guy (in many ways) that knows his old cars. Commenters seem to like him, but I figured best to ask before getting sucked into listening too much to what he says.

He has a lot of knowledge and a no nonsense approach. He just goes off the deep end about the government and how fuel prices are a conspiracy etc... every once in a while.

As long as the car stuff is accurate I can live with that. Some boomer conspiracies can be a bit entertaining as well... once in a while.

Derek to me comes across as a smart guy playing a character who is making a joke. There are some episodes where he works in his brothers garage and there are Trump and Infowars stickers on stuff but I don’t think that is enough to convict.

Maybe so, but on the other hand if someone is wearing a red hat and Let's Go Brandon t-shirt at the grocery store I'm not going to go ask them if they're doing it ironically, I'll just go down a different aisle.

Politically? No idea. Content-wise? Almost always wrong about their "facts", basically bullshit clickbait in video form.

The algorithm needs to be trained to suggest more SuperfastMatt and bitbucket poo poo like Donut and Dumbero

I just had some videos from a channel I had never heard of called "Puddin's Fab Shop" show up in my Youtube feed.

I can't believe I have never heard of this channel before (137k subs). Is he doing an imitation or a parody of VGG? Either way hats off to the guy for staying in character. As the owner of a Toyota minitruck I appreciate the type of work he's doing.

Derek from vgg has a thin blue line wedding ring and iirc dropped pit viper as a sponsor around the same time pit viper declared they were not ok with alt right icons being pit viper customers. The trump stuff isn't an act, I grew up where he is from and that's the norm there right now. Though he moved down south just recently...

I still appreciate his channel and he keeps the trumpy bullshit to a minimum usually which is my bar for whether or not I'll watch content but yeah it's definitely a thing.

Also, donut is hit or miss but I get the feeling most of their hosts are super nice dudes so even if the video is a miss for me I generally appreciate them being good dudes.

I usually enjoy their podcast. The three hosts have an easy rapport, and James usually is less, uhh, pumped than he is on YouTube.

Wayyy too many ads though.
