Legitimately one of my favourite YouTube channels. Tech deep dives (generally on extremely esoteric topics), sarcasm, and interesting insights.

Mine (2025) rattles when twisted.

The wording “couldn’t talk correctly” can come across as ableist because of the implication that it’s their problem. They speak differently than you, or whomever.

Whether someone has a speech impediment, a thick accent, speaks another language, or is non-verbal, doesn’t really matter. What matters is that the two of us are able to communicate effectively and that’s a two way street.

It IS ableist to expect everyone to communicate the same way - and by saying that this person doesn’t speak correctly, you may have given your friend that impression. Knowing that you yourself have struggled with a speech impediment, my guess is that what you were trying to convey was that you felt badly about the challenges that person may face in a very ableist society.

Let me know if you think I’m totally off base - I’m really interested in folks perspectives.

I got a 2025 Ioniq 5 too and absolutely love it.

Except for the lack of hitch availability. Ecohitch and Stealth Hitch are the only two options available at the moment and they’re both made in the US.

Thank you so much for providing the source! I LOVE THIS.

Totally! I checked and over half the stuff that I forward is posted by @ickplant - posting content is a lot harder than lurking - but giving credit adds so much depth.

I LOVE that they just posted the source because I get to TRULY enjoy the post now.

I love the sentiment - but does anyone know if it’s real? Or who the original poster is? @ickplant posts a lot of… borrowed content… I mean it’s great content - but I sure don’t trust the veracity. Fact checking and due credit matters - even on ‘feel good’ stuff.
