I tried going to a website that supposedly sold nothing but fans and it was not the kind of website I expected.

"Cursed with knowledge" is probably the best way to describe watching your channel. I don't own a dishwasher, I don't hang up christmas lights, and I don't have ceiling space for a ceiling fan but I still watch all these videos because they're interesting to learn about

I've been in a warehouse when the Big Ass Fans™ stopped working. It's incredible how much hotter it felt in the warehouse very quickly.

I may fear starting to watch a Technology Connections video, but I don't think I've ever regretted watching a Technology Connections video.
