YouTube is now arguably more valuable than ALL US legacy media COMBINED.
I had a problem with my electric water heater, no hot water. I went to youtube and searched for "how to test circuit breaker".
Popped the cover off the breaker panel, probed it with a meter like youtube said.
Yup, breaker is bad.
Now do "how to replace bad breaker".
Step 1: "Turn off main power in the panel. TURN OFF THE 200 AMP MASTER CUTOFF AT TOP OF PANEL."
Um, there is no master cutoff switch. There's a spot for it, but nothing is there.
Crap, I guess I have to (carefully!) work in a live panel. Cue wife to be ready to call 911.
Let's look some more on youtube.
Oh: "Master cutoff in panel is obsolete. Current code says the master cutoff is to be co-located with the electric meter."
Ha! I have been replacing and adding circuit breakers for YEARS with a live panel. Never knew until now to look outside below the meter.
Youtube has a lot more valuable videos than cat videos.
And here’s a HUGE advantage for Google :
I would argue millions of AI hating and data center protesting citizens are...using Gemini.
Google's 1st link of AI response is generally so complete that I don't even need to look further. It even offers to give me more details if I tell it more of what I am asking.
This might be a good time to back the truck up.
