From the Rob Words YouTube channel. Here's the video description:

Let’s uncover the secrets of the NATO phonetic alphabet! 🌏 [ad redacted]

The NATO phonetic alphabet is not a phonetic alphabet and wasn't invented by NATO. However, it has a fascinating story to tell. It is the result of years of linguistic experimentation in the wake of the violence of World War II. So let's explore its development, from ALFA to ZULU.

In this episode, we'll uncover the surprising story of how this alphabet – used by everyone from pilots to police officers – came to be. And look at the strange words that almost made the cut.

Thank you very much to Derby Aero Club at Derby Airfield for kindly allowing us to film. You can find out more about them here: https://www.derbyaeroclub.com/

    I don't see any ads at all, whatsoever.

    Maybe your new install of unlock origin doesn't have all the lists enabled. Go into the config and make sure the advertisement lists are enabled

    1. Verify you've installed the correct extension

    2. Completely restart your browser, close it all the way out, then open it again

    3. Make sure you see the red badge icon in your extension tray, when you right click on a website, you should see inspect element or block element as a context menu item.

    I was going to move on, but you called him a jackass and I'm wondering why? The "very punchable" part also feels unnecessary.

    I know, Lemmy is very keen on playing morality police instead of minding their own business

    I've watched plenty of Robwords videos and I have not gotten the impression he was a "jackass", let alone deserved to be punched in the face. Maybe it was down to the way that sentence was worded that comes across differently to me than intended.

    It's also an opinion expressed in an online forum on the internet that is accessible to everyone. So, it's open for other people to express their opinion on others' opinions.

    You're more than welcome to express your opinion, I was more asking if there was a tangible reason behind it. Is he known to be an arse, has he been an arse? But, it sounds like there may not be.
