I don’t think much of loudmouth SK.If you can’t calmly state your subject matter I move on to more interesting guys like the one that built VVT heads for a big block Chevy into a C8
I have a built in BS meter. I can feel it activate. Developed over lots of years in my chosen profession retired from. Nothing wrong with a chuckle once in a while.

I call mine my 'bullsht alert light'. These days it's constantly blinking. Honed to a fine edge during 25+ years in the Navy.

Tyvm for service. Mine honed from 42 years in my old profession Military and Civilian job.

As far as Scotty Kilmer I find him bemusing and he gets it right sometimes but his delivery and believability is like screeching chalk on a Blackboard. He is fer comedic relief.

If researching a problem go other ways. You watch a bunch of different YouTube stuff on a specific problem U can find a solution.

Like on the AC drain on truck. It got clogged due to the way positioned. I cleared clog, put a small piece of 5/8th hose on it and put elbow PVC into hose so AC drains. Just neat lil way to help drain.

I also take offense at his subjective judgementalism. Calling certain features or types of cars "Stupid" for example. Or, that only stupid people buy certain cars or such.

And it's rampant on both sides. It's gotten so I don't believe anything I see or hear anymore - unless the conservative and liberal media agree on it, then maybe it's got a bit of fact in it.

Read Mark Twain's take on the media (newspapers of the day) and it's fun how much is just as applicable to today, though it ebbs and flows. The 24 hour cable news cycle put us back to the outrage for dollars/over sensationalizing everything and then social media poured gasoline on it.

Both sides do it for the same reason competing newspapers in the pre-Civil War era were overtly partisan. Captive market. Some do it to push change, but most do it to push change into their pockets. In most of the broadcast television age, news was viewed as a loss leader and a prestige product. Now it's a major profit center, and you need outrage, sensationalism, sex, or fear to keep eyeballs. I bet most people here are old enough to remember when the weather forecasts all started being marketed as "Storm Teams" as an example.

I have a friend that gets that smug grin on his face, giving me **** for buying a 'Dodge' truck. Though he drives a Chevy Colorado (personal) and an F150 (Work). Many think they are smarter than everyone else. You just have to roll your eyes and move on.

Good thing you didn’t buy a dodge truck and you bought a Ram. Dodge is its own separate line of vehicles and Ram is its own line of trucks.

Insecure people will try to elevate themselves at the expense of others. Ignoring them seems logical.
