content: Someone suggested doing a montage of clips were I've said "you can fly to the moon on..."I think that would be kinda funny.I can't recall what videos I've said this, but maybe I could crowd source this?Can anyone recall the video numbers (and time mark if possible) where I have said this?

content: I guess you could download the captions for each video (hopefully youtube speech-to-text will understand your accent) - then search the text file for "moon" and "fly" - should be able to grab most of them.YouTube Caption Downloader:https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/youtube-caption-downloader/I guess you could write some sort of script for it to speed up the process.

content: Usually I've noticed you use it in reference to something with a horrible quiescent (is that how it's spelled?) current or something that draws mA rather than uA when idle.Or is that the only thing you use that phrase for?

content: I did a search for "standby" which I suspect probably mentions more than one trip to the moon.https://www.youtube.com/user/EEVblog/search?query=standbyThis one is the one I'm looking for with the above search, which of course contains a 6.5 W trip to the moon at 2:15.This concept could btw be expanded to other Dave-isms (or I guess really, aussie slang.)

content: Hi Dave,would like to see you reviewing a modern Rohde & Schwarz device. Belive me, i use analyzers like the ZVL13, FSP7 and generators like the SMA100A couple times per year. I don't want to know how much standby power they consume. The waste of energy even is signallized by an indicator LED near the power button.For luck they have a real power breaking switch at their back near the IEC input.
