A twitter post by "cole ashe" with NileBlue's "Making the World's Purest Cookie" video on the bottom saying "everything about this video is great. he makes a cookie using like NIST reference standard flour and chocolate and molecular biology grade sucrose and it just ends up tasting like nothing. he'd also never made cookies before this so it's like watching a space alien learn to bake"

He's very iffy when it comes to safety, too. The comments section for his video about making his own liquid nitrogen is littered with experts telling him how insanely unsafe his setup is and how he's basically built and installed a ticking time bomb in his workshop.

    Honestly, aint nothing I trust less than youtube comment experts. Checkout william osmans answer to the "experts" on his xray machine. (Will and Nile are friends and have a podcast together, aptly named safety third).

    Normally I'd never trust YouTube comments, but a channel where a wealthy scientist does all the weird experiments they've always wanted to do attracts a lot of other scientists. Their concerns make sense, too - the equipment he bought isn't rated for the use he's putting it to, let alone his future plans to make liquid helium.

    And pressure vessels are one of those things where you want to be absolutely certain it's safe. You don't fuck around with Delta P - failure of a pressurized (or depressurized in this case) vessel is the kind of thing that registers on local seismographs.
