Thank god we sorted out the pronoun thing early on in the thread cause theres always arguments about this kinda stuff
Lexi is the only person qualified to narrate this subreddit. No shade towards the other guys, absolutely not - they are awesome and sometimes even MORE than awesome, but it's just something special when you hear Lexi's happy-confused squeal-laughter when she sees something that she both loves and is horrified by at the same time, especially when it comes to tech related stuff.

I feel like Lexi really fits this subreddit and other Tech based ones, since she has some background info to Try to explain.
Omg. I absolutely love Lexi's enthusiasm.
Lexi's "One of them escaped!" killed me. I swear she has such a great personality and humor.
lexi is the person that makes me know i don’t have to be girly girl and trans and pursue my interests
moral of the story: lexi can make even the most aggravating blood-curdling images of stupid decisions funny. lexi youre awesome!
man in my opinion lexi is the best narrator for emkay. i like robin but sometimes he just kinda gets rid of the positive vibe when he gets angry but lexi is just always entertaining

6:57 "Is it a yacht? technically if its longer then 35' and 2 + decks. Yes... By the looks of it its 2.5 decks if you include the sleeping loft as a half deck. likely build on top of a sailboat so theres the sailboats lower deck, and the box's middle deck.

At my workplace there's a tape dispenser which used to slide around too much. A previous employee fixed the problem by taping a dead UPS battery to it. One of those dense 12v 7.2Ah bricks, I'm sure Lexi knows exactly the type. Completely coincidentally, my doorstop is the same kind of battery. Before anyone freaks out, these are lead-acid batteries. They don't become "spicy pillows" like lithium-ion batteries sometimes do. And they're totally dead so nothing bad would happen if you short the terminals. Lead-acid batteries can be dangerous if they leak acid but these are sealed AGM ones with completely undamaged cases so the risk is minimal.

Normally I say "if it's stupid but it works then it's not stupid" but in the case of that battery clamp made with pliers and a ziptie, DO NOT DO THAT. As a former ASE Cert. Master Mechanic, I can tell you: doing things like that can severely injure or kill you.
@MikrySoft

Sure, but what's the worst case scenario here? Poor connection and some heating, at worst some molten insulation. It's the negative terminal, it can't short anywhere and cause a fire. Even if it were to fall off when the car was running it will either a) keep running (and possibly slowly kill all electronics with voltage spikes) b) shut down the car, which is not ideal, but not inherently dangerous. I wouldn't take this contraption on a highway and get it replaced ASAP, but real, imminent risk seems fairly minimal to me.

@@MikrySoft I know a guy who welded his wedding ring to his finger while attempting something like this with uninsulated pliers on the positive terminal. The pliers touched the ring which touched the car body. His ring had to be cut off and his finger...well...you ever see the video of the hotdog being electrocuted? The sight of it has stuck with me and I feel sorta obligated to at least try to warn people against repeating his mistake. It's not something I ever want to see again.

If you HAVE to do this and you are safe about it, use round headed vise grips or a good, adjustable hose clamp. Something that will lock on and actually hold the wires in place. Those zip ties will slip off too easily.

My fiancee is also Trans Woman In STEM and I can't resist sending the Lexi videos her way because it all goes over my lipstick psychology degree head but I love her and I want her to get the chuckle I would have had if I'd done better in sciences.
I love that Lexi's got stories of her own ingenuity to go along with her narration of the posts. She's a chaotic Violet Baudelaire!
Lexi has so much random info. I relate to her on a spiritual level
TIL that Lexi really is into redneck engineering... but her limits for said kind of engineering are "Well, it's not on fire, and it's not in my house." I agree with this.

11:16 That is an oscillating drum sander... As the drum spins, it will also move up and down to help keep the sandpaper from clogging up as fast as well as giving a better surface finish to the sanded work...

Yeah, when I moved down here to FL, I was legit surprised that there are no car inspections down here. Especially coming from New Jersey, where inspections used to be INSANELY strict, until the state stopped funding for thorough inspections, making residents have to fork over money to go to private inspection companies.

The lights hooked up to the solar panels is actually smart because during the day you use use less power you need to pay for and at night turn on the light on so you save a small bit of power for tomorrow so you spend a bit less cash.

Ignoring that, the amount of light the electric light produces is much less than the amount of sunlight needed to generate the electricity. Let's say the lights use 100 watts, the extra power the solar panels produce from this will be 10 watts if you are lucky. That's a net loss of 90 watts.

@@Psi_Fan123 The theoretical max efficiency for white LEDs is about 40% and the best commercially available solar panels are about 25% efficient. So if you put electricity into the lights you'd end up with only 10% back through the panels. And that's assuming the spectra are matching and they don't, actual results would be much worse. You'd need over 100% to come back for it to be worthwhile, and that is against the first law of thermodynamics. The only way it would make sense in reality is if you can buy electricity very cheaply but can sell solar-generated power at astronomical rates. Some incentive programs will pay a few times market rate for solar power but none are near high enough to cheat the system this way. The practical thing you might run into is if the solar panels are powering a completely separate system. One example is a solar-powered calculator, another one is a solar-recharging automated flush valve for a toilet. These are all very low power things.
