frugality weirdness (food mention)
I am watching a YT video of vegan meals on a budget, and then it hits me: the youtuber says: "It's cold and flu season" but is standing there in a sleeveless thin shirt with a neckline down to almost the navel and I'm like... meals on a budget, but heating clearly not on a budget.

oh and the camera moves away and I see the shirt is cropped also. Maybe this youtuber is just a very tough person who goes ice dipping all day and has no problem with the cold, but...
I'm sitting here in a wool sweater during the coldest winter since 2010 and the video is very recent, from yesterday! and I'm a little bit in disbelief.

@distel besides the obvious heat sources (running the stoves and ovens all day adds up!), walk in fridges produce quite a bit of heat in the process — I’ve never been in a commercial kitchen thats cool enough to wear more than a teeshirt even in winter and that was never because the owners were willing to pay for heating (if they had we’d have begged them to spend it on more fans and AC instead haha)

@distel ah since you’d mentioned the camera moving i’d assumed this was a more professionalized type show, apologies!
youtubers
@Satsuma haha, yes youre right. youtubers filming from home are so professionalised nowadays! some of them have really good camera and editing skills!

@Satsuma I agree about commercial kitchens, but this is just a youtuber filming from home, no walk in fridges and stoves are not on all the time. This is not a chef, its a youtuber 🍵
