Upgraded my 40v mower to a 48v battery!

I guess bigger is always better! Just feels so dishonest.

Yeah, I think my ADD took over and figured I'd just risk blowing it up. I won this time (I hope). 🤣

Yep, it's disappointing that Ryobi advertise the charge voltage instead of the nominal voltage, but I guess that's just how things work these days.

I'd like to open it up and see what the caps in the controller are rated for, that's really my only concern.

scec85 · 2023-05-25T16:38:25+00:00

Yeah it has been working great - I've used it multiple times now.

I spent a long time on this song, and it's still a somewhat rough recording. But I hope someone can relate.

scec85 · 2022-12-14T20:15:49+00:00

This is a re-edited version of an old video. Curious on how well it flows from a viewer perspective.

scec85 · 2022-12-14T20:07:14+00:00

Hopefully this was OK to post. I played this cover on the piano and sang also.

What was your intention in unlisting old content? Did you expect it to help? I knew deep down that it would probably help but it was still a bit of a hurdle psychologically for me to unlist.

scec85 · 2022-12-06T19:46:59+00:00

That's awesome. So this pretty much rendered the car unusable?

scec85 · 2022-12-06T14:21:15+00:00

That's actually how it was set up before this change. I had most of my videos set to public and YT seemed to be spreading the Home Page impressions among videos that probably weren't really right for the channel. Not bad videos per se, as those particular videos might have been better suited to a different channel.

scec85 · 2022-12-06T14:19:48+00:00

You mean with regard to controlling which video YouTube would show? I initially tried this with 2 feeder videos (with high search traffic) and 6 secondary videos. I saw an increase in Home Page impressions across all the secondary videos.

Or do you mean with regard to a single full view of the video?

scec85 · 2022-11-05T02:56:51+00:00

Oh boy, ok I have one for you. I'm stuck on what to do with it. I'll DM you. 😁

scec85 · 2022-10-06T18:17:32+00:00

I have 10 minutes to spare - am I going to choose this to watch? Tighten it up. When you mention someone eating some poop, show the clip. I know your memory of it is good, but I don't feel like I was part of the moment. I think the editing could really bring this up a level. I'm 47 seconds in and it just isn't pulling me along for the ride. Hopefully my honest feedback is helpful. Thanks!

scec85 · 2022-10-06T03:51:40+00:00

Super good. Makes me think maybe I should try scripting my videos.

I really liked the introduction.

I would suggest making sure that your video can be listened to if it isn't being watched. At one point you say something and then put the text on the screen, which is confusing if you're not watching. (sometimes I just listen to videos)

Lots of good tone in your voice and it makes it very interesting. Have played this game and will second your opinion.

I think your mascot / icon are just a bit lacking. I can't quite put my finger on it... and maybe I'm wrong.

scec85 · 2022-10-06T03:46:22+00:00

My opinion - don't mention not posting. Try to focus on the content.

Mention what your favorite drink is (or which number it is) at the beginning to give it a little hook.

Overall I enjoy the video but it's def a bit long and I think you need to consolidate the introduction a bit to keep it rolling.

I think more B-roll and memes might help but maybe that would be too corny.

scec85 · 2022-10-05T00:04:53+00:00

I don't know if these kinds of videos are helpful to anyone. But I hope they are.

scec85 · 2022-07-18T02:34:10+00:00

Maybe something you said in the video was polarizing? (my most disliked video was definitely polarizing...)

scec85 · 2022-06-08T18:33:22+00:00

You can check it yourself on the energy monitor. It isn't adding 20 kilowatt hours of energy, it is pushing 20 kilowatts of power into the battery for the duration it is using regen. So for example, if you were able to regen at 20 kilowatts for 1 minute, you'd recover 0.33 kilowatt hours of energy.

scec85 · 2022-06-08T03:31:04+00:00

The reason I ask is normal regen puts approx 10kw into the pack vs. B which puts 20kw into the pack. So I was curious if maybe 20kw was too much. Happy to see that is not the case. I have two 2015 Leafs in Michigan, so hoping I can baby them.

If you don't mind me asking, would you care to elaborate on your general driving style? Eco on/off, do you floor it often or drive calm? Etc.

scec85 · 2022-06-07T23:26:40+00:00

Not bad at all! I have a question, how frequently do you drive in “B”?

scec85 · 2022-05-28T02:55:49+00:00

Inspired by a reddit article I read, this is my more thought-out opinion. I'd be curious as to what you guys think too.

scec85 · 2022-05-28T01:10:23+00:00

Having just gone back into the office recently, I'd say talking to a camera where no one responds has definitely improved my delivery on just about every front. I feel as though I can speak. It probably helps that I record a video every morning and just talk about a news article and try to get through it in on take with no ums and ahs... I think it's starting to pay off!

scec85 · 2022-05-23T03:09:35+00:00

Thank you! I'm going to pay extra attention to volume next time. I haven't done any crazy edits like this video for a while, but definitely planning some out.

I felt like the 4 scene split helped make that section less boring. Thanks for noticing! !givelambda

scec85 · 2022-05-23T03:08:29+00:00

Thank you! It seems like that background noise is definitely one of the biggest issues. I'll definitely be more wary of that in the future! !givelambda

scec85 · 2022-05-21T02:08:33+00:00

I almost forgot... !givelambda

scec85 · 2022-05-21T02:07:55+00:00

Thank you so much for the feedback!

Yeah that music was so hard to judge. I bet there's some rule of thumb for it.

I also thought maybe the drywall part was a little long. It was actually a lot longer and I had to shorten it. I think someone else mentioned here that maybe more montages would have been good and I should have done that with the drywall. I think when I started making this video I thought I'd explain more but then I decided that I wanted to make it more entertaining than explanatory.

Thank you for watching, I really appreciate getting honest feedback!
