Well my evening started by having to emergency-defrost my fridge after not shutting the freezing compartment door properly before going out and when I returned I couldn't close it because too much ice had built up..

Oooh yes, thanks. Twin Peaks is something to binge on, that I haven't done so yet. I think I'll re-schedule for much sooner.

A mate loaned me an video and I want to return it to him, but I can't find my MP4 rewinder - anyone got one handy I could borrow?

Nope, you will have to watch the video until its very end, and take profit of the fact that MP4 videos are automatically rewinded once they have been watched.
And I've read on Mp4VideosFacts that trying to rewind a video before it has been fully watched can dramatically damage the bytes of which it is composed. Better safe than sorry, so.

Can you not stick a pencil in it and spin it round or connect it to a drill to do it quicker....

Make sure you get one for the right region. I understand that US reminders don't work in Europe, and vice versa.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

"...and vice versa" spot on!, they go the other way around ... that'd be like an unrewinder.

You're thinking of Australia.

That too. The Northern Hemisphere rewinders work the other way in the Southern Hemisphere.

Don't buy a cheap one off Ebay. The one I got simply turned the bytes around.

Well that's just stupid, you'd think they would use XOR, so much faster.

Well sure, that's how the Russians do it now, but this one uses an 8008 chip.

Yes, you are probably right.

That CO2 follows industrial production?
No, not contentious IMO. Just an interesting indicator of how globalisation has impacted the world.

Oh no it isn't!

Good that China is tackling pollution. It really has done a remarkable job, going from almost third world destitution to one of thee most modern countries in a matter of decades.
I didnt catch much of the Chinese leaders speech, but it seems to have gone down well, and the guy has had some kind of national 'sainthood' bestowed on him, only the third to have had, and the first while still in office, so it seems they are impressed with him.
Of course the benefit of a benign dictator. He can take these long decadal visions for CHina and implement them. In our democracy the governments vision extends to the next election, and consists of nothing but cheap headline grabbing soundbytes.

Are you suggesting other countries should look at doing the same?
I'm sure he would think it's a great idea. The best. Nobody ever thought of it before.
