    cc: @aphoenix, I think you might like this channel too, since it feels a lot like Drew Builds Stuff, IMO.

          If pressed for who introduced me to it, I would guess you! With the satisfying desk?

            Oh, did I link that in a comment at some point? I think this is the first time I've ever submitted one of his videos as a topic.

              I could be wrong; I imagine our algorithm serves us a lot of the same stuff. My gut feeling was I was familiar with it because of you though.

                lol, yeah could definitely just be a case of it knowing us both too well, so introducing us to similar channels at the same time.

    Somewhere around the middle he mentioned their fire insurance had just been cancelled with a month’s notice (for context: near/in LA in late 2024).

    I wonder how stuff like that works. The business just cancels on you unilaterally, immediately before the dire situation might/is much more likely to occur for which its service you’ve paid for all this time is needed?

      As fucked up as it is, apparently that actually is a thing that can/does happen. But in response to insurance companies doing it, the California insurance commissioner, Ricardo Lara, issued a one-year moratorium on insurance non-renewals and cancellations for 2025 wildfire effected zip codes. See:

      California insurance commissioner issues 1-year moratorium to protect LA-area homeowners
      California moratorium on insurance cancellation in LA fire zones expanded by state commissioner

      So J-Fred probably made that statement about his being cancelled before the moratorium was issued, and (hopefully) reversed it.
