Dog obesity and humans

Did you know that dogs could suffer from the same genetic obesity problems that humans do? And since a dog can’t go to the supermarket and buy a tub of ice cream, scientists are able to better study them. When scientists talk about obesity genes, they’re usually talking about genes that affect appetite. When you feel hungry, when you feel full, things like that… Think about potato chips - for s...

Do you make pants only
This guy predicted link rot 13 years ago. Respect
"That's stupide" smh. just judge everybody😄
It is different if you are watching the TV from a laying position.
I get why they sent you one, im probably buying this just because of this video
Great info, thank you
Good advice, forward head posture will kill you literally. But using a recliner changes everything.
Does it have to be a digital remote? Im so confused as to how this works
I think the idea came from back to the future... When Marty McFly went inside his future home and the tv/video calling device was hanging above the fireplace.. 😊
Had xfinity Comcast and got 5 channels 2 ads 2 checking updates 2 blanked
Some houses are build where the only feasible spot to mount a TV is on the fireplace...drives me insane and vowed never to buy a house like that lol
Does it work with any ac remote?
My 75” sits in top of a dresser because I can’t trust the kids as they like to bang stuff
Thanks so much man U really helped so much with your explanation I was ready to get rid of my pad as I’ve already wasted one already Thanks so much!!!
Suppose you want the tv across the room, from the wifi connector?!!
So this needs an ac with the remote. What if my ac doesn't have remote at all. All manual switches. I have seen this done with a small kit. Any guess where I can find this kit with a small remote for manual ac.
Neat, but I cannot see spending $130 to get a function that a newer $300 AC would have. I suppose if I already had a great window AC without the feature that I didn't want to get rid of, this would be a perfect product.
I can't think about anything else other than your channel's name. (First timer to this channel)
If you followed any of these videos you wouldn’t be able to put anything in front of your tv . I have hung too many tvs to count and most of the tvs I hang are around 42” from the ground that way you can put a dresser or tv console under it.
Which one wifi kit can use for smart split ac. overall wifi. So we can adjust the temperature from anywhere anytime pls some advice thank you
Thanks
Thanks for this, Made cleaning my controller a breeze :) 2024!
No I cannot see it. Good video, gay channel name...
So true I've always felt this.. And it's not rocket science. It's crazy how people only care about HOW COOL SOMETHING LOOKS RATHER THAN FUNCTIONALITY!! It's because everybody in this country is so vain they want people to end me them of what they have and how it looks rather than the usefulness crazy and bizarre. Even when the whole I put my TV on top of fireplace. The whole HGTV fad. I WAS LIKE YOU GOING TO BE KIDDING ME THAT'S THE DUMBEST THING YOU COULD EVER DO FOR SO MANY REASONS!! Looking up and neck problems, not to mention fireplace is no matter how great they are with efficiency. Some smoke will always go upwards and it will overtime get inside those electronics causing dust particles to stick and eventually probably blowing out some of the electronics. You definitely got it right!! But I'm just surprised more people just don't follow the instincts and realize it's the dumbest place to ever put a TV seriously PUT A PICTURE THERE LOL..
Confirmed 2023.... great tutorial, My controller ended up working perfect!
You didn’t even tell us shit
Why do all of you yadda yadda over removing the battery I’ve been working on removing it for over an hour now and it won’t budge a micron

Just bought a controller for my old ps3 and it is absolutely disgusting.
Me 🙋♂️
I am here because I have a busted one hoping that I don't have to buy a replacement
I am
Here I am. Many years overdue.
Thanks for sharing,my son has the Modern Warfare Controller with Camouflage on it the whole top and bottom of it is very sticky to touch what can I use to remove the Stickiness.
There are no shortage of ACs that actually don't have a remote. So using any AC is very very very misleading.
That's what you think things look like from the '80s? ...
I followed this and it doesn't work for me. I think what most people forget a lot of people at home at an angle and sometimes with their feet up which means their eyes look upwards like mine
Thanks this was helpful as for my PS3 controller right now doesn't feel as good as it used to have been and using it for my computer with the 8bitdo dongle.
While you have your personal TV at the right height you are most definitely sitting too far away from it. The best viewing distance formula is: measure the size of your screen diagonally and divide that size by .84. so a 60-inch HDTV's require a recommended 1.8m to 2.7m viewing distance. Most people are like you and sit very far away.
i got a elment tv
thanks for telling me i got wii
thats a good video
i play hockey on the wii
im learning
Very helpful video
thanks . wish we had that years ago when my mom bought a new tv after her old one died . the set said cable ready but comcast said no it was not. so we had to pay for 2 cable boxes . these were the old fashioned kind with the push buttons.
To be honest, once I get down to all the pieces of plastic being officially separated, i just clean the plastic pieces with water and dishwashing soap. Afterwards, i blow out the excess water with an air canister, wipe it off to the best of my ability with a paper towel, and just let the remaining bits of plastic dry off for like 30 or 40 mins before reassembling everything back together. I did this twice with my ps3 controllers already and they work fine and feel like they're brand new.
What if I don't have the original remote?
Thank you so much for the walkthrough, we rehabilitated our old controllers thanks to you 👍
Thanks!
My lady and I did 6 months of research before buying. I wanted a80k or a90j and I wanted a 65”. She didn’t care but which model of tv, but thought a 55 was best. I decided to go 65 anyways and told her, “if it’s too large we’ll get the 55”. After measuring the distances 8’8, which is good range for a 65, I got the A95k 65 and she loves it.
