So there is a torque sensor?

I appreciate the effort. Google has killed off most invideous instances so I only know of a few instances. I did not know about that one so I was happy to try it. But it gives a broken CAPTCHA. Took like 5 min to apparently do a proof of work problem, which in the end finally gave an “error, try again”. Had to switch to hCAPTCHA. After repeated enabling of a shit-ton of nested JavaScript, I was able to pass the hCAPTCHA. Then I could only watch the video, not save it. And there was no audio.
Using
yt-dlpyields: “ERROR: [generic] None: Unable to download webpage: <urlopen error [Errno 111] Connection refused> (caused by URLError(ConnectionRefusedError(111, ‘Connection refused’)))”I was trying to work out whether he came up with a torque sensor. With no audio, I can only guess. But there were some moments where he has his feet off the pedals and the motor is still cranking. Not sure if that means there is no torque sensor, a demo of a faulty torque sensor, or if he was testing a manual torque-sensor override mode.

Everything spoils differently.
This is where info seems to be scant. My mother often told me: if there is mold in something with tomatoes → death… toss it. I’m sure there is a grain of truth to that but I recently tested this. I scooped out a bit of mold from tomato sauce in left-overs, and ate the rest w/out issues. I probably reheated the left-overs but don’t exactly recall.
Heard stories about some granny unwittingly using spoiled mayonaise in potato salad served to her church which killed people. Bacteria/virus/pathogens love eggs (hence why it’s used for vaccine making). So I don’t fuck w/mayonnaise but fries vendors often have big tanks of unrefrigerated mayonnaise with hand pumps. Not quite sure why that has no issues.
In any case, it would be useful to find a reliable source on what kinds of bacteria are common in what foods, and ultimately which spoiled foods are more or less likely to cause serious issues.

Even grocers get this wrong. I asked a grocer if I could get a mark down on beer that was past the best by date. Was told “actually I cannot sell that to you” before taking it off to the back room.
In more progressive regions, food past the date is given to charity, who then know more about the meanings of the dates and the safety tolerances.
