I wish this video could be downloaded here for posterity.
Go on - have a look at the video. - before the seller takes it off when some-one tells him.
Poor guy - but just so funny.

I have to admit... that is funny! I like subtle humor so my favorite part is when he calmly (and quickly) started adjusting the speed control.... like that would help...

I agree with you entirely.Granby wrote: Wed Oct 12, 2022 4:52 pm I have to admit... that is funny! I like subtle humor so my favorite part is when he calmly (and quickly) started adjusting the speed control.... like that would help...![]()
It is so very funny because of timing and style. Unintentionally subtle.
The way he gestures to the other person in the room, in a way which says 'it isn't working again'. As you say, adjusting the speed without realising the futility of this ... and of course what he says.
He also comes across as being a really nice person.
It also makes you think. Why should he know ? How could he possibly know ? . and that ours, is indeed, a very minority 'hobby'.
Great stuff indeed ! So good, that I have to admit I videod it onto my 'phone - so if ever I need to smile it is there.

Bah, I wouldn't make excuses for the guy, obviously there's something wrong _ no kidding.
If one isn't familiar with the technology, then make the effort to find out so one doesn't make a fool of one's self.
I'm tired of making excuses for people and rationalizing problems away.
