I do love Father Ted.

The best bit of the episode is that strange black rectangle that's stuck to the window all through it.

A recent episode of the excellent Science vs. podcast discussed this.

TL;DL "There is no such thing as a miracle drug. And that’s an important message for everyone to know, There are no miracle pills, that’s science fiction.

So we don’t know if chloroquine will save the day here. There’s some promising research - but then there’s some not so promising research. "

These two are making good use of being at home isolated.

WIN for those of us boomers old enough to remember the original show.

I always believed as a kid that there was an episode where they showed Dr. Claw's face because it was a playground rumor, but I'm pretty sure that never happened.

That's a really great thought.

After I finished watching the full downloaded series, that was the only episode I still have and won't delete.

When I hear that song, it still sends me back to that same deep, contemplative state that series finale put me in when I first saw it.

Seriously deep stuff right there...

Thanks for the kind words and the promote.
Yes, I remember the wrestling episode. Good times.

You are a god, @newtboy.

I LOVE that you remember the things that I remember.

I recently shared this video with some people in their 20s and their blank stares and "wtf is this" responses made me so sad. (I also shared with them the "Fish Heads" music video from the 80s.)

In addition to this bit and so many others, the Mad Dog Hoek episode is one I remember frequently. I wonder if you remember that as well.

G-g-g-g-ghost pirates!
*promote a *quality but weird episode.

Not even the funniest punchline on that episode.

Saw this on an episode of QI.

I've watched every episode of Star Trek Discovery in HD for free, ya just gotta be resourceful. I'm not paying Disney for anything, I haven't been to the movies or bought any of their crap in years, but I have seen everything.

Carefully

None of the endothermic reactions in this video have been suggested as methods to regulate global temperature, because even if they could be scaled up enough to make a global difference they don't address the systems which regulate the earth's temperature.

Some things which have affected global temperatures either up or down are:

• Volcanic eruptions can cause global cooling, for example the 1991 Mt. Pinatubo eruption released around 20 million tons of sulphur dioxide causing global cooling of approx 0.5°C over the following three years (ref: https://earthdata.nasa.gov/learn/sensing-our-planet/volcanoes-and-climate-change and https://pubs.usgs.gov/fs/1997/fs113-97/ )
  
• Increased rates of erosion of the right type of rocks can increase CO₂ absorption and reduce global temperatures that way, https://earth.stanford.edu/news/how-weathering-rocks-cooled-earth#gs.cmy3h0
