Well, you clearly did! And that is indeed your reward - well done!

I'd only just logged on and it only took and couple of minutes to solve. Since you posted it over an hour ago, I assumed no one must have been interested!

Now that we have shed cable we have "discovered" YouTube. You can dip in and out, sweep up small bites of nonsense or watch a movie.
Anyway, found this: Explore With Us [^] and am absolutely fascinated by what they do and the places they find. Intriguing - well worth a small investment of your time.
I find myself wondering what happened to the people that would have called these places home at one time or another. Sometimes, the people that makes the films do some digging and have some interesting stories. A from me.

Welcome to the 21st century Mark!
Youtube *can* be OK, but there is a LOT of sh*t on it. Check out some of the other video streaming sites, dailymotion is good, for less shite.

Haha!
If it's available on Roku (also excellent) I'll check it out.

They either find better homes or die.
Youtube is unfiltered, meaning there will be video's "proving" that the earth is flat, and lots of top 10 lists that have been made up. You should only believe -10% of the claims made there.

Not unless there is a video telling me to do that.

Put in the search term "perpetual motion machine" to really see how deep the stupid goes.

To be fair there are some useful tutorials on there.. I quite like @snowboardprocamp - they have really useful tips..
Then there's @howtohockey as well, again really useful and I've watched a few whitewater kayaking videos lately (been quite a while since I last did it and helped keep me alive the other weekend)
I think if you want to learn how to do/fix something YouTube can be a really good resource. People can waste a lot of time watching useless stuff there though..
Now is it bad enough that you let somebody else kick your butts without you trying to do it to each other? Now if we're all talking about the same man, and I think we are... it appears he's got a rather growing collection of our bikes.

Seen those and just ignore them. YouTube "learns" what I like so I've got it only showing me stuff I'm interested in. Flat earth, stupid religious bullsh1t, ancient aliens and p0rn are not amongst my choices!

Hi there, I see you're new to YouTube. Those videos are what are commonly referred to as "click bait". They are the scourge of YouTube. End of public service announcement.

Hmm. No, they are not. There certainly are some but most are just tiny bites of amusing and interesting nonsense. Pretty innocent - of course, we now know what you search for...

Hey, pr0n built the Internet man. We should be thanking him for his searches.

Yes there is some fascinating stuff there. And yes, creepy stuff is often fascinating.

Creepy? I found nothing creepy about it. They are just going to old houses which has left over stuff. Am I too desensitized?

If sarcasm is the language of the intelligent and sarcasm is not translated over text well. One could surmise too much time online using text as the only means of idea exchange leaves one less intelligent. Now as any good engineer knows, we need evidence to support this postulation. As such, I submit to you Facebook and Twitter. And to make matters more interesting, we as a species have never had before the luxuries we take for granted today. We no longer need to think for ourselves.
It seems to me the world is headed towards the path of the insect where we lack the ability to reason. Whereas bugs would fly into a bug zapper because it's bright and shiny... ZAP they're dead. We fly into a world of disillusion and lack of focus by too many can I has cheeseburger kitten pictures. People considered "awake" see through this. Everyone else tends to think the right name brand clothes, thanks to the same flashy imagery on television (it's an advanced bug zapper), or correct buzzword on the resume is all that matters (buzzwords sound smart so we don't have to). Isn't is nice to have not have to think? Glory be to name brands and buzzwords to do the thinking for us.
So if we're not thinking and not communicating. What pray tell do you think the future will be like when the machines eventually take over and make us their pets? Would it be a worthwhile cause to learn to enjoy milk for when the inevitable comes and a machine serves it to me on a saucer to lap up off the floor? Should I perhaps learn to fetch as a necessary skill to go on my pet resume? Not sure if a machine would much care to have a pet they couldn't play fetch with.
Am I suggesting too much Facebook and its ilk will turn us into pets. In a word: yes.
Your thoughts...

I know I go on about QA being full of idiots - mostly because it is full of the terminally lazy - and I agree that FarceBook and Twatter don't show the human race at it's best.
But ... maybe I'm an optimist (ha!) but I don't think it matters. Throughout human history, we have had those who can think, can write, can create or do things; and those who manifestly cannot, despite an enormous amount of self belief.
The difference is that now not only can anybody shout at the world, but that everybody is almost forced to shout as loud as they can, even if the most original thought they can conceive is "I ate a sandwich" and to an extent - even a large extent - that drown out those few who use the media well.
I think it's a "transitional phase" that we are going through as a species, and that when we get out the other side we'll be better humans as a result.
Mind you, I could be wrong: I don't own an iAnything; any Nike or Adidas trainers; my clothes don't boldly advertise any company or sports team; or even boast an alligator on the pocket so by many peoples definition I automatically am...

Actually I agree with you. If you scale out with the big picture you're totally right. Just seems that everything is more *seemingly* exacerbated due to the fact that there's more of everything. More people. More everything. Probably says a lot about me if I'm just focusing on Farcebook, but hey a brother needed to vent.

To that I agree. Although we as a species tend to learn the hard way... over and over and over again. Even I had to learn the hard way over and over that apparently I can be an a***hole. So it's not hard to see why humans gonna have to learn the hard way to get through this phase because we're all slow to change no matter how much we think we aren't. I would suspect though it's gonna get worse before it gets better. If necessity is the mother of all invention then lack of necessity is the mother of sloth. So it may take a few generations to learn what we lost, all in the name of brand name label.

Ah, I'm probably over sensitive to it. Here I am living in Hollywood doing my nerd thing. And when people treat you "off" because you did work for U2 - keep in mind I never met Bono outside of him staring in my direction while I was hooting and hollering at a concert - it's just sad. U2 is a brand as well as a band. It's like owning a pair of fancy shoes to say U2. I worked with the people that worked with the band, it's not like Bono and I are BFFs. But you mention U2 and BAM all the sudden it has nothing to do with you as a person anymore.
It's like when dudes only care about a girl because she has fake knockers. Bye bye person, hello knockers.
I'll shut up now.
