Well, when you stop controlling the weather ... mother nature takes back control ....

Accordingly, a conspiracy nut would agree with this:

I couldn't watch it -- my eyes started to hurt from rolling so much. Can you summarize for us?
No. I lasted less than one minute before clicking it off.:mad:
Apparently my capacity for BS has very little room left for refills.:rolleyes:

I normally don't expect JoeJester to post drivel. He fooled me this time.:(
That's how it works... you slowly earn their trust, and then BANG!, you throw it at their faces... see how they grimace :D
But you have to agree that he kind of warned us when he said: "a conspiracy nut would agree with this"

How do people make money creating crap like that? Do Jerry Springer fans just send them checks?
normally I wouldn't post such drivel, but with the changing weather and that conspiracy, it just felt right. HAARP is a nice antenna field you can see on Google Earth. It wouldn't be hard to convince some that bombarding a high electromagnetic field into the atmosphere in the upper latitudes does influence the weather, especially when people are searching for the reason their predictions are not coming true. There must be a reason, and the government conspiracy freak will always find a government scapegoat. Man's credulity is always under the microscope, from those who seek a financial gain or their 15 minutes of fame. Click through is how many of the youtubers make cash.

Like most scuttlebutt, all it takes is a good story teller to start it off. Sometimes it's when some guy wants to impress a woman. There was one "tale" told by a friend of mine, and I haven't tracked down the article in the Seattle Times from the late 70s that was reputed to be published. However, on an ancillary note, there is a patent on the technology in the tale, dated after the tale. His story about the telling of the tale is between reality and a fairy tale.

What is the difference between "once upon a time" and "this is no shit ..."? At times both are fairy tales.

Making money via click through is how one EE made his mark by creating useful videos. It is his full time job.

Yes, Dave has mentioned how he ended up doing the videos full time.

The non-EEs that make cash on youtube are Gabe and Garrett, better known as "Sidewalk Cops". Their videos were favorites of my grandkids.
