Have you tried making pour-over coffee? I made the change from Keurig to a simple pour over setup and never looked back. I purchased an OXO electric gooseneck kettle and a Bee House ceramic dripper as a beginner setup. It’s simple and makes a fresher brew than any coffee maker I’ve used. You can put the dripper over your mug for a direct pour, it just takes a couple of tries to get it just right the first few times, but you’ll be set after that.
I repurpose those inverted dish soap bottles for all kinds of things. In my car detailing supplies they hold foam gun soap, tire and wheel cleaner and leather conditioner. You should try one for your maple syrup.
I'm not that handy, but installing motion detecting light switches in a few key spots was a major upgrade. Coming into the breezeway form the garage - bam, light comes on, vs. having to grope around for the switch.
0:01 As soon as I saw that yellow racquet, I immediately knew what that was, Brock! Our friend bought a two-pack and gave us the extra mosquito-zapping racquet! It’s so gratifying to hear the crackling of a frying winged insect! Mosquitos are killed on contact. Flies however, usually require two zaps as the first contact usually stuns them. My hundred-pound German Shepherd usually gets to the downed flies before I can give them the coup-de-grace; he loves sky raisins! 😂
How are they better? Wood *can* be as sanitary, if you hand wash and dry after each use and treat the surface with the right oils. Do most people do that? Probably not. But plastic boards can be machine washed, bleached, etc. (and most people take advantage of that). So in practice, plastic > wood. That’s why every commercial kitchen uses it.
@BrockMcGoff Commercial kitchens use them because they're cheap and light, so much easier to move them around and replace them regularly. Wooden boards self heal if the board is maintained properly, the the wood fibres swell and close the small cuts. On the other hand plastic boards wear out overtime and the grooves get deeper and harder to clean. For home use wooden cutting boards are a much better choice in my opinion, but I also respect if you prefer the plastic ones, and see where you're coming from.
I've used a Manta Sleep eye mask for 10 years or so and absolutely love it. It is still doing a great job, all this time later. It's one of the few products that I unreservedly recommend to anyone that will listen.
The shirt anchors seem to be the same kind of material as gel mats I use called “BUSOHA 350 PCS Clear Removable Sticky Adhesive Putty, Reusable Transparent Double Sided Round Nano Gel Mat for Wall, Metal, Glass, Ceramic, Wood” which are much less expensive. The Busoha product might be larger, in which case you can simply cut them to the size you need.
This is a great video thank you Brock! I'm gonna buy a few of these (through your links duh). Would you consider making another video of buyers remorse? I know you made one around clothes but if you have any hot takes on household gadgets that you think are overrated
I won't comment on the microplastics issue because that's still being actively researched, but in regards to wooden boards being inherently less sanitary, that's simply not true. Wood has natural antimicrobial properties and any bacteria that manages to seep between the grain well eventually die so long as the board is kept clean and dry overall. Plastic can go into the dishwasher though, so I think they're on equal footing when it comes to sanitation.
Thanks. I wish more people would take a data driven approach to stuff like this. I say that about wood boards because I’ve worked at a couple restaurants and never saw them (mostly due to all the meat being handled). They’re probably fine in the home if you have good cleaning habits, but I still prefer plastic.
@@BrockMcGoffyeah the reason why wooden boards aren't nearly as common in professional kitchens is specifically because they're more expensive and cannot go into the dishwasher. In my area I usually see them being used to prepare sushi, but that's about it.

On your part 1 of $50 or less -- a travel steamer is absolutely clutch and allows you to rewear multiple pieces of clothing that didn't get dirty or collect sweat.
Wasps are actually important for the environment just like bees and the call of the mockingbird might be annoying, but it doesn't mean you should harm it. I'm glad you went with the earplugs.
@BrockMcGoff I appreciate that, your kids have to be safe, I just think that there are friendlier ways to get rid of them. I have to put them back outside too when they come in the house, but I use a cup and piece of paper.
@@rehtea4 makes sense! Part of the problem is we have a very old neighbor whose yard is overgrown, and there are tons of wasp nests that are never removed. So those wasps make their way into our yard when they kids are outside, probably sensing the water (kiddie pool, squirt guns, etc.). If it was a reasonable number, I wouldn't mess with them. But when I have like 10-20 swarming around a 1 and 3 year old, it can be stressful (and we've all gotten stung).

In the same way that cast iron inserts metal into your food. It's been debunked that cutting boards shed any meaningful amount of plastic. I try not to use plastic in the microwave if possible, but otherwise not too paranoid about microplastics (there's a good episode of Science Vs. about this btw).
On one hand you say the dryer lint is bits of your clothes. Well those cuts in your TPU cutting board is a part of the board you ate. Yuck. For under $50 get Epicurean cutting boards made of compressed paper. Literally made of a tree, not poisonous plastic. Cheers

@@BrockMcGoff There is this peer reviewed study from 2023 I could find reliable, which states these things are a significant source of microplastics "Cutting Boards: An Overlooked Source of Microplastics in Human Food?" Whereas its true that microplastics are not as bad as some paint them, its better off to be without them
Kudos for finding primary sources, but I've that study and it doesn't hold up to scrutiny. If a cutting board lost 50g of plastic each year, it wouldn't last more than a few years. That's like a candy bar worth of plastic.
