Tom Scott has relaxed his release schedule, so it's kind of special when we posts a new video these days.
This house rotates, plumbing at all, the owner is kinda fun and very forthcoming with details.
Really cool engineering

SFW/SFL, Random, Unthemed Videos, could be a guy patching drywall, a guy making a sandwhich or it might be someone playing 30 year old video game. It's all stuff I found interesting or informative, or maybe just a little wierd.
Intent is for content to be at least mildly interesting and or novel. I'd like to try to stay away from blatantly triggering things. If something is just too good to pass up, (e.g. Smarter Every Day recreating civil war bullets merging) at least tag it as containing a trigger.
trigger e.g. flashing lights, violence, guns, illness, injury

This was an awesome watch, really cool build!
I absolutely love all the tech that he used with the exception of the solid waste line. I can only imagine having some stranger in your house flush the wrong thing down the toilet and needing to pull that entire center hub apart to get to the debris. Then the need to sanitize it, reassemble it, and then pressure test it. Having solid waste turn 90 to get into that gate, travel up to 180° to get to the other gate and then do another 90 to get out sounds like a nightmare.
I think I would have left an open 6-in vertical hole in the middle of that hub, brought the PVC straight up through it and made it to the rotating system through a 45° 4-in with a couple of sealed bearings mating the 4" the 6"
As it stands if there's a clog in that thing there's no way you're going to be able to snake the line.
