For Brian's benefit, it shows a chap building and testing a 'rocket' powered by supercapacitors. Actually, it's more like a tubular helicopter, a cross between a drone and a rocket, as the 'rocket' has Yes the "rocket" may well have satisfied harrys yearning for knowledge, but anyone following NASA over the years might have arrived at the conclusion that rockets are not normally propellor driven. Like all Brexit enthusiasts, facts do not enter into harrys vision. They were using 1 Farad caps in VCR's years back. To be honest they looked more like a battery cell inside. I did pull one to bits in the hope of finding out where all those wallymitts were kept and it were just filled with black gunge like a D Cell As far as the clip went, the level of advertising makes the thing totally unacceptable. A pretty poor thing that frankly I lost interest in at the second load of adverts Methinks the internet is now becoming unuseable due to the dross. AB |

Yes, but Google (and all other search engines) is/are slowly drowning in poor quality results, thanks to everyone + dog thinking they can become a "social media influencer" (whatever the **** that is). Last few technical problems I've had, it's been quicker to take a crash course in whatever (dropbear 3 days ago, being the most recent) than trawling through loads of meaningless drivel only to realise that a frw other people have *had* the issue, but nobodies answered. Incidentally, a moderated usenet is *far* more useful than any number of blogging sites. Dross in search results, dross in user reviews, never ending problem. But cutting out crap forced on you like adverts does help. Moderation can be hugely beneficial. |

Speed, the auto-contradicting senile sociopath, blabbered, again: Seriously! 00:53 am in Australia ..and you are out of bed again?

Which of those stops the youtube adverts inserted in the video stream? I've never seen such an occurrence to comment. The only adverts on Youtube I get is when they are part of the actual video itself, such as the presenter on a mountain bike channel picking up a tube of grease mid video and saying "I recommend Bumm Grease for all your lubrication needs." I couldn't live without NoScript blocking all the JS crap to tracking sites and adservers. But you have to work to stop the ads. |

Works really well for TNP, he can post stuff and ignore the people that show that it is wrong. Stops him from questioning the cr@p he posts. |
