I like the reminder that nerdy people sometimes have their own hotness scales. I don’t think they’re all in Niedersachsen, or that all Niedersachsener are like that, though.
My attempt, as an exercise in technodeutsch transcriplation, starting at around 18 seconds in:
“So what do you do?”
“Electrohydraulic guidance systems with drawbar sensors.*“
“No way…OK, I do stepless precision crankshaft forging.”
“For real?”
“Multidirectional.”
“I would love to get a look at that sometime…a stepless crankshaft…”
“And I’d like to see a drawbar sensor sometime…”
“Oh, so what about pets?”
“Harvester robot…a little bitty one.”
“Oh. Too bad.”
*I’m stumbling here a bit with the term Deichsel. Help?

Cute. And not one naked woman was required for that ad - they must not be selling showers.
Tee hee hee… Cute.
I love geeks!
Deichsel can also be towing bar or shaft, according to linguee:

Geeks rule! Or something to that effect.
Thanks for the tip about Linguee — I’ll give them a shot next time I need a word and compare them to my standard reference, dict.leo.org.
