Forced air is the most efficient heating and cooling system. Also forced air heat is used in the majority of Canada, so it clearly works quite well.

I live in Quebec and forced air is not at all the norm.

Most people have baseboard electric resistive heaters. Ever since summer became hot as poo poo, people have been using minisplits for AC and a little bit of heating in the spring/winter and continue to use baseboards for heating. AC was not common at all here in the 90s and 00s so only having heating was the norm.

Now that the minisplits are able to handle -26c, there are actually grants that will pay like half your install if you put one on each floor since its more efficient for heating. That's usually the way people go since almost no houses have the ducting required for forced air since there was never a point to installing it. So now people use those to cool and warm, and keep their baseboard heaters for when it goes below what the heat pump can actually deal with.

I assume this is because Hydro Quebec electricity is cheap as poo poo. I grew up in a part of the US where a lot of electric providers bought power from Hydro Quebec (and as a result had electric rates that were among the lowest in the US). So pretty much everyone used electric baseboard heat. Although in the 90s a natural gas pipeline was run and a lot do folks switched.

In the neighboring communities that didn't have low electric rates, the norm was some manner of natural gas or fuel oil furnace. I even knew a bunch of families who heated with wood or wood pellets.

Baseboard heating is the absolute worst type of heating in terms of energy use. I assume that is commonplace since your power is basically free because of the hydro dams?

That's interesting, because power costs are not something you really hear about. Everyone knows about average rents, or internet costs, but few seem to think about power cost.

We've got hydro here in BC as well, and we start out at about 9c per kwh. I was surprised to find out the average cost in the US is about 23c per kwh.

Cuttress' current career pivot is advising semiconductor companies about "messaging and brand strategy", according to his own linkedin.

However I can't imagine this is going well for him - the pro bono brand messaging work he's just submitted to the public is so bad.

Even from a cynical POV, if you're gonna go longform with weak arguments that don't stand up to scrutiny, you need to do the ol' Gish gallop and race through so many of them that you force opponents of your position to go even more TL;DW. What he's put out is long, but doesn't have much substance and is easily refuted with way less effort than he put into it. So he isn't very good at the PR game...

Seeing as the supposed slight by GN on LTT's new CEO was what really got the good Dr ticked, the video basically can by summed up as 'Former technical reviewer now PR flack gets extremely bad on behalf of former technical reviewer now PR flack"

It's actually in LMGs best interest to remain silent for as long as they can afford to. GN said they're done, and as time goes on, the "online narrative" has been shifting more toward sympathy for LMG. The reasonable people have had their say and the fanboys are now free to 'both sides' everything or ramp up the victim narrative.

So, because it is in LMGs interest to remain silent, we can look forward to a WAN show where Linus does one of his unfiltered rants.

If you don't know about him, take a look at My Mechanics. "I make a new one" is more than just his catch phrase. He just got started on a '73 Datsun that looks to be quite a restoration.

A couple others I catch regularly are - Tysy Tube - He can get a little odd on some of his choices, but pretty fun to watch. And Rescue & Restore. Some odd stuff he restores, but does quite pleasing work it looks like.

Also the granddaddy of them all is Hand Tool Rescue.

I was actually miffed about the My Mechanics Datsun because his already slow output will be even more compromised. Hand tool rescue is who i was referring to in the "chuck it in the rustoleoum bin" bit. I had tool rescue first suggested after a my mechanics video and i thought "isn't that cheating?".

I'll check the other two suggested channels, Thanks!

what is the difference between removing rust:

- with the rust remover liquid
- via electrolysis (?)
- sandblasting it away
- using something called "rust converter"

I imagine there are certain situations where one method is better than the other, as a sort of toolbox, but it's never clear in those videos why any one approach is chosen over the other

Rust removal via a liquid or electrolysis are basically the same end result, the removal of the rust. The only difference is the method of action. Something like Evaporust is nice and convenient, but can get expensive if you need the huge drums of for large parts. Electrolysis can be much cheaper, as you just need water, a washing agent, and electricity.

Sandblasting isn't necessarily a replacement for the liquid methods. It can have trouble removing thick chunky rust unless you have a beefy industrial sand-blaster. Sandblasting is often used a second step after liquid immersion, to even out the surface for painting, and to get the last stubborn films of rust off.

Rust Converter doesn't get rid of rust at all. It's just converts the rust into a different type of oxide, that is more stable and will take paint more readily. Ideal if you're doing home DIY poo poo, and you just want to put some on a lightly rusty chair that you'll paint after.

He knows stuff about electrochemistry. His biggest problem is his inability to communicate clearly and being a decorum obsessed technocrat.

He isn’t exactly wrong about Steve having a habit of editorialising (I don’t care but he does do it). I also understand his (very badly explained and incorrect) point that GN is technically punching down because in his eyes a respected tech reviewer just blasted the tech equivalent of Jackass.

It’s just unfortunate for Ian that the entire premise of his video is full of poo poo because he lives in an alternate reality. The mere idea that Linus would be receptive to engage in the marketplace of ideas with Steve in good faith is hilarious.

Mini splits are heat pumps...

Edit: for most installs they are more efficient as well, since you remove the ducting losses and each room gets exactly the cooling it needs directly.

Much easier to insulate a small coolant line than a large air duct.

DP: Seriously, why is anyone sholling for central air cooling? It only exists since we had furnace setups from the word go.

Reversible(Heating & Cooling) mini splits are the future, gently caress central air.
How do you use a mini unit in an interior room with no exterior walls?

Central AC units are basically heatpumps too, they just run in the one direction.

The good thing about so many people having central AC is that as heatpumps get better and better they can be fitted into the majority of homes that already have AC.

And potentially still use the furnace as a back-up if it gets truly nut-shrinking cold when the heat pump doesn't work well (as of now).

Good video on heat pumps. This guy must be a goon.
