Best directions for making pizza pockets I've ever seen.

Couple of very nice tips shown.

going through my list of YT suggestions, deleting all that rap&pop crap my friend's teen leftover, I clicked on what I thought was a power metal video from a group I didn't know... 

So, uh, well, I'll let you judge the content, and don't forget to read the comments!

Today is Austria's National Holiday. Normally, the Hofburg would have a day of open door with a chance to shake hands with the president. However, due to Covid this isn't possible.

Instead they made a cool little video with a drone flight through and around the Hofburg (they make it looks like Pres. van der Bellen is piloting it, but I sincerely doubt he did ).

Christopher Lee reads you scary stories: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TXTdYE2Jq20&t=3059s

It seems BBC Radio did this for Christmas 2004

I guess after Charles Dickens the British decided Christmas is a horror holiday.

I'm shocked to hear some people don't. The sheer amount of gunk you get when you do it....

Tyr never watched the video so is just spouting nonsense.  The "gunk" is starch, which is what rice is, as well.  If you want sticky rice, don't rinse.  If you want separated rice, rinse.  I usually rinse, myself, but then I don't eat with chopsticks so don't need the rice to be sticky.

I see.  Normally I don't rinse it for the opposite reason.     A lot of the time the rice is a bed for stir fry and I find it easier to eat that way.  Also, I just like the taste of sticky rice.

I specifically refer to something in it so I never watched it?

There's more than just starch in rice often. Pretty common to find a few stones and occasional weavils/their eggs.

The video says that is a misconception.  Once upon a time that was the case.  But not now.  I have been cooking rice for a while now (read too long than I care to admit) and anecdotally, I have never encountered that kind of gunk.

Its not a misconception. I very definitely regularly find stones in rice and have on occasion found insects.
As the video says north American rice is different.

I think you didn't actually watched the whole of the video.  Unless you don't live in the developed world and you buy your rice in a large sack, there is no need to wash your rice.  I suggest you watch between the 3 and 4 minute mark.
