He has to believe that the Good-Guys can't become Bad-Guys, in his book he admits he didn't recommend HRC be prosecuted for mishandling classified material because they thought she would become President; which makes him one of the Bad-Guys. He sold-out for political favor, then found he had backed the loser!
Yeah I'm thinking it's pretty hard to get test subjects to eat peppers with military weapons grade capsaicin in them. It would also be pretty obvious to figure out who were the test subject and who were the placebo subjects.
I've heard that birds lack a digestive enzyme that breaks down the seed casings, so any that aren't ground up in the gizzard pass through fertile. Birds also seem to defecate on flat surfaces like bare ground or your car. This tends to grow the plants the birds like to eat near where the roost, and is why the lack of the enzyme is beneficial. Mammals both have the enzyme and feel the heat.
You're trying to put up videos in quality that rivals major motion picture quality, they use freakin super-computers, they upload through multiple fiber lines bridged. I know a guy that worked on the movie 'The Equalizer", his job was to edit the character, Robert McCall's wristwatch and the blood splatter. You can't match that kind of staffing levels and equipment.
The Big-time youtubers have dedicated editors, camera operaters and directors working on sets specifically designed for video production. The staff is professionally trained at places like Specs Howard and Columbia school of Broadcast arts.
If you upload a 4K, 60fps video to youtube, they're just going to compress the shit out of it anyways

I put that on the website and both the website and the visitors get tracked. It's the same with facebook, bing, twitter and amazon; these guys are up our asses with a microscope. Sure we can block this technique, but they'll soon find another. it's like the story,
Lady walking see a half frozen snake. She scoops him up, holds him to her bosom and warms him up. Snake is revived and bites her. She laments "Oh why did you bite me" to which the snake replied "You knew I was a snake when you picked me up".
Likewise these companies collect data and sell both data and advertising, it's what they do and why they exist.
If you don't want your data collected and tracked, you pretty much have to go live with sasquatch.
The only way that water form the Flint River should ever have been put into their water system would be if the entire water distribution infrastructure was changed. But that wouldn't have happened, because it would have cost too much money.
Here's one thing you're not getting Flint's entire water distribution infrastructure is not significantly different from any city built before 1986; if your city was built before 1986, there is lead in your water.
If your home was built before 1986, there is lead in your water. The amount of lead depends on the chloride to phosphate ration in the water and the temperature of the water. you will get more lead in the summer when the water is warmer and less in the winter when the water is colder. Never, ever drink or cook with hot tap water.
The only reason Flint had a lead problem in the first place is because the incompetents at their water treatment plant. Flint's water treatment plant when conntected to the DWSD was superfluous.
The water treatment plants used the technologies of "pre-chlorination, rapid mix, flocculation, sedimentation, filtration and chlorine disinfection".[5] At this time, the five water treatment plants were Waterworks Park, Springwells, Northeast, Southwest and Lake Huron. Detroit Water and Sewerage Department
the Lake Huron plant being the operative plant. ( located between Brice and Metcalf roads and Lakeshore and state roads). It didn't matter if the staff at the Flint Water Treatment plant was corrupt with cronyism and nepotism because Detroit had their asses covered (Detroit even added unnecessary corrosion inhibiting phosphates prophylactically). When Flint changed over to the Flint River, all of a sudden the incompetents had to do their jobs for real, and we saw the results of that.
In 1963, Flint moved to build a pipeline from Lake Huron to Flint, but a profiteering scandal derailed that pipeline. This led the city to sign a contract to purchase water for 30 years from the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department on June 6, 1964.[fj 4]
For years, the City of Flint purchased Lake Huron water from the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department (Detroit Water)[fj 3] under a now expired 30-year contract.[fj 5] Flint resold the water to the Genesee County Drain Commissioner who then sold it to municipalities in the county. Genesee County officials had disliked the high cost and usually high percentage increases of the Detroit Water, as the Department's formula penalized the area for its elevation and distance from Detroit.[fj 3] Detroit Water avoided direct rate discussions with Genesee County, working only with the city of Flint.Karegnondi Water Authority
See it was all about money, cronyism (profiteering scandal ) and bureaucratic territorialism.
I was watching a series where a person made a M1911.45 cal semiautomatic pistol from blocks of steel, quite interesting even if you were only interested in the machine shop techniques. But you are correct about content providers looking for other venues for their work. Youtube has been playing a lot of games with providers like demonitizing their video when released, then correcting their "mistake" after the providers have lost revenue form a 100K views.
Many content providers have evolved to have sets with studio class lighting and professional camera operators and post-production staff. They post their semi-raw video on Instagram, their production videos on Patreon. Then after a video has been on Patreon for weeks or months, they post it to Youtube. Youtube is used primarily to direct people to Patreon and secondarily as a revenue source.
With the City of Flint under emergency management, the Flint Water Department rushed unprepared into full-time operation of the Flint Water Treatment Plant, drawing water from a highly corrosive source without the use of corrosion control Flint Water Advisory Task Force FINAL REPORT pg.15
That's pretty much what I said, the Emergency Manager didn't put Flint into receivership, the Emergency Manager didn't neglect to replace lead municipal water pipes for decades, the Emergency Manager didn't fail to train water treatment staff properly.
Detroit managed to keep high quality water flowing while going through bankruptcy, for decades the Detroit Water treatment system was the only city department without widespread problems with corruption and incompetence.
Flint's problem was self-inflicted, they quit buying water from Detroit and started sourcing from the Flint river, which is basically a cesspool and they didn't add the federally required phosphates to it. Now their water is sourced from lake Huron and doesn't require added phosphates, like Detroit's water is. Phosphates put a layer inside the pipes that prevents toxic lead and copper from leaching into the water.
Almost every city still has lead pipes in the ground and a lot of homes have lead based soldered copper pipes.
It's cute how you assume you would be privy to US retaliation to their election hacking. Personally I am more disturbed over the Russian nerve agent attack on the soil of a NATO ally than any computer hacking.
When I worked at Mc Donald's back in the 1970's I used to have 96 burgers cooking at a time when we were busy and never put on less than 24 when we weren't. Two grills would hold 48 patties each and they were about 3 steps away from each other. I probably cooked at least a thousand buggers in a 5 hr shift
A rule of thumb is a worker costs twice their salary, so your $9.00/hr worker is going to cost about $72K. I'd be surprised if anyone working fast-food ever worked an 11 hr day, that would be overtime in some places, more likely they'd work two shifts of 6 or 7hrs.
Your admin might be clever enough to notice that it's a by-consent option.
He/She might also be clever enough to notice her/his average user is a dipshit that doesn't think twice about clicking Okay and running unauthorised software on a system with access to sensitive data and regulatory restrictions.
50 is a lot, two of the Secret Service Agent who were on her protection detail died in a friendly fire incident. I don't know if she had anything to do with them, I know I don't want to be around her or know her. there is some bad juju somewhere.
I was stationed in Germany in the 1970's and then a surprising number of Germans either didn't have or rarely used a car. it was very easy to jump in a cab and take a short ride to a bus station to ride the train to bus to cab. A lot of Mercedes cabs had 250,000 Km medallions and 500,000 Km medallions wasn't rare. I'm suspicious that free public transportation isn't going to make that much difference
The spacecraft uses the clock to tell the Earth station exactly what time it sent the signal, we know what time we received the signal and therefore know how far away it is to +- 1m. With the new clock we don't have to worry about keeping the clocks synchronized like we do with the current clock. The new clock is being tested for interplanetary vehicles, with use in GPS satellites is a side benefit.
The idea is to use them on interplanetary spacecraft, where atomic clocks are much rarer. When a spacecraft is several lightminutes away, getting the clocks synced and navigation commands sent, received and confirmed is much more challenging than doing the same in LEO or GEO. By having that accurate of a clock on our spacecraft they can eliminate the sync portion.
Having that precision on GPS would be a boon to robotic vehicles as well.

It's probably not the capsicum that causes the blisters as much as the skins reaction to it.
