@nitpicking Videos are now being uploaded to Patreon and can be watched there. However, Patreon's video quality sucks compared to YT.

I know many people (especially here) loathe the idea of giving Google any money at all, but if there are creators on YouTube you like, YT premium functions pretty much like Nebula does. It's the main reason I haven't considered joining Nebula, it feels like a mix of Patreon and YouTube Premium but with extra steps.

I've heard Seattle gets pretty damp for similar reasons to Blighty. Maybe they're the ideal US target market?

Although TBH I've used a refrigerant dehumidifier in England with no problem whatsoever. The defrost cycle has to kick in every now and then in the winter but once that's done it's back to business as usual. (That was in an inhabited space though, not an unheated cellar.)

Now if instead of a little electric heater we could attach the pipe feeding hundreds of kWh at 60-70°C to a dehumidifier box, that'd be sweet for all the "cold and wet winter" countries.

Is that enough of a temperature rise?

Edit: found one, but it's for greenhouse-scale operations

Rotary desicants are of some (if limited) use in some parts of the United States. I live in an area with lots of streams, rivers, creeks, swimming pools, and a few lakes, so humidity can be quite high in the shoulder seasons. My garage's dehumidifier suffers from the freezing issue during spring and autumn when I normally need heat, and the garage isn't "plumbed" for the HVAC system, so I might end up getting a rotary desicant at some point.
