Is this a good time to replace a hot water tank?

[#]GoodMorning #Bonjournée #GutenMorgen

Too late, already draining the tank..

Hope to swap tanks, before my wife wakes up.

This vid caught my eye, A pro tutorial with a typo in the instructions. Spelling mistakes jump out #ADHD

See the mistake?

The old tank is drained. The rust sludge will leave stains forever on the concrete floor.

It's a big tank!! I was younger when I put that beast in. Tall as my nose.

Luckily I'm strong like hamster 😂.

Gonna slide the new one into place, and wait for help to get the old one outside. #CoffeeBreak

@Rasta

"to" ❌

"too" ✅

Also, "clockwise" is left vaguely undefined, as it depends on how you are viewing the fitting.

@isol Freakin' brilliant. You wouldn't be ADHD too? I've made Typos.. this was not a typo, this was someone that doesn't know about Your/You're either. I've seen it in print newspapers in the morning too.

@Rasta

I don't believe that I'm ADHD.

I wasn't diagnosed as short-sighted until about age 14, so I read voraciously, and learned to love words.

I often wonder why people would go to all the effort of recording, editing, and producing a video, and not bother to get the spelling correct, the pronunciation correct, heck, sometimes even the words correct.

A hypothesis which may apply to some creators, is deliberately inserting an egregious error in order to provoke viewers into posting comments about it, and thus manipulating The Algorithm.

@isol That hypothesis may be correct, there's a lot of manipulated videos on YouTube to garner views. That might be the motivation

@isol Tape should be wound in the direction of the threads, and layered to compress near the nut. I used it all the time, and will again today..

@TywyllSeren

You know, I worried more about the new one getting damaged moving it myself. Store staff asked me too, but I brought it out on a wagon and squeezed it into my van, and at the front stairs, Had my neighbour help me carry it to the foot of the stairs, I put it in another room, took it out, moved it into the workshop area, replaced it, and got the big one to the door. I don't need help very often, and when i do, it's never available.

Gah! Using "to" where it should be "too."

@ldmay65 That kills me all the time. In printed news stories too, the daily paper, it's like they don't have editors
