This was the best “electrical for dummies” video I have seen. It feels like explorist is our teacher and you’re my tutor lol hugee help thank you!

🤔 Lauren, I am amazed at how organized and thorough are your electrical presentations. You must have spent much time writing the script and adding all the graphics. Your speech pattern is measured and never falters. The sequence follows a logical progression. I could suspect AI except you always use correct pronunciation 🤣 👏. Well done! 😎
