I like to watch them and they don't put me off flying at all. Maybe they are superficial to aviation experts but they fill an hour for me and I find them interesting.

Me too. I especially enjoy watching Mentour on You Tube. Reckon I’ve learned enough to land a 747 when the pilots and crew have died and an airforce jet accompanies me and talks me down :))

Had watched that 80 year old land a plane…then one lesson from Mentour and I’ve got this. https://youtu.be/ePDl1JNqjpM?si=u5L983yA5icZZijQ

Ten or so years ago I'd have agreed with you with respect to Air Crash Investigation style shows. They were informative. Nowadays most of these shows are hyped up click bait garbage which repeat themselves two or three times during the duration of the episode.

Thats because they were edited around commercial breaks and people channel hopping. Look at how horrid it is to watch mythbusters episodes to see how bad it can get.

I wish they'd make the effort to edit remove that cruft for streaming. More than once I've dumped a series because it's full of those re-summeries. Completely unwatchable even when the actual content is good.

Haven't watched that show but I dislike intensely shows that do this.

You can add to the list any show which makes some connection between the present day and the Knights Templar, and "Mysteries at the Museum" where some random artifact, which is often a piece of junk, "recalls" some event in history that is at most tangentially related.

Mysteries at the Museum is great at showing a scrap of paper and then spending 10 minutes talking about "this object" as if it was central to a story, but it turns out to have been one of many things that were vaguely involved in the wider story...or not.

I still watch it. I quite like the host's dulcet tones.

I think people are getting a little bit precious about this. You don't have to watch something if you don't want to. The format clearly appeals to some or it wouldn't exist.

It’s a waste of airtime on subjects that could otherwise have been educational.

It means TV’s target market is for people that are willing to sit through such rubbish.

Maybe this is a bad analogy, but for example you can wear earmuffs if your neighbours choose to mow the lawns at 3am.

Garlic Sausage / Polish Garlic - or the lack thereof at Woolworths/Countdown.

It was a lunchbox staple for me for many years.
Then they removed it from the Delicatessen, replaced it with a package (https://www.woolworths.co.nz/shop/productdetails?stockcode=150694&name=woolworths-shaved-polish-style-sausage)

And now it seems to be discontinued altogether? Haven't seen it in quite a while now...

I'm trying really hard to avoid sausages unless I have specific trust in the butcher. Got to reduce consumption of ultra processed foods.

For what they charge for homemade Sausages at New World, they should not be super processed and the price, $26 a kilo!!.

Common sense is not as common as you think.

Annoyance of the day:
Drivers in Auckland when it rains.

Today's sweeping generalisation is that it was the turn of most of the Tesla drivers today. No indicating, illegal turns across traffic, forcing their way into gaps that don't exist...you name it, they did it.

Tomorrow it'll probably be ute drivers that get on my wick.

I saw 2 geniuses on the motorway come to a near stop to correct their wrong lane idiocy today. Everything was going so slowly that nothing happened but FFS that should be loss of license territory. You had from the bridge to where it splits to move over and didnt. The other one was up the port/western motorway offramp at the end where it splits to port or west. Different idiot but same idea. Not change lanes and just slow right down and go over the solid line and hashed area and hope someone lets you in.

Someone I see regularly on another forum seems to be incapable of typing ".com" into a forum message. "Go to Google Dot Com...", "When I open my Outlook Dot Com email...", "Just pop over to Adobe Dot Com and download..."

Makes me twitch!

Briscoes have the Ninja Woodfire Electric BBQ Grill & Smoker on sale for $349, but I am not allowed to buy it because it has non-stick plates etc.

Usual reason is to avoid it making a link to the page.
