Silly Job Title: Watt Wizard.

In this video we take a look at what arrived in the mail. Mostly loot from AliExpress but also some USB hubs from Amazon.

In the video I mention Goo Gone. The stuff I use is the Original Goo Gone. It’s really great stuff! I mostly use it for removing sticker goo after I’ve peeled a sticker off something.

In this video I learn about “rivet nuts”. The ones I got are these ones. There’s a video on YouTube that will give you the idea about how these things work and are used.

I also mention about the 4017 integrated circuit which is a decade counter used in this project kit.

As promised I scanned the instructions on the cover of my “multitester” which is the analog voltmeter and ammeter I got:
Instructions for multitester

This is the equipment which arrived:

I have this thing that I do where I get a book narration from Audible and the same book in ebook format for my Kindle, then I playback the narration at two or three times speed while I read along with the ebook in my browser window. So basically I listen to the book and read it at the same time at high speed. And what I wanted was a term I could use to describe this activity, which is something I have been doing for quite a while now. So, naturally, I asked ChatGPT and of all the suggestions it came up with I liked “DualStream” the most. Thus, hence forth, I will refer to this activity as dualstreaming.
