Good question! Decaf makes no sense at all!

Just like non-alcoholic beer. What's the use of it?

I do. My current recipe is ⅓ caffeinated and ⅔ decaf. My body is accustomed to a certain amount of coffee per day, but my cardiovascular system can't handle all of the caffeine.
I tried telling it "Hey! I quit smoking in 1991, what more do you want?" but it wasn't impressed.

I am not clicking on that.

I understand that you want to be careful, but if you are that careful all the time, you won't get very much out of Internet 
I do not click on just any link sent to me by just any unknown person. Links from people I know and trust, I do click (if it appears to be anything interesting to me). I do not know OriginalGriff personally, but I have seen his posts here at CP for years, and there has never been anything suggesting that he is not trustworthy. He is one of the regular posters that I have the most confidence that will not spread any sort of malware.
In theory, he could be in good faith, yet there could be something nasty hidden in the image that he didn't know of. That could also happen to some person that I know personally and know that is very malware aware. If you click on any link at all, there is a certain risk that you cannot avoid.
I consider OriginalGriff trustworthy. I consider YouTube reasonably trustworthy. With those two taken together, I did trust that the link was safe and clicked on it. Well, I wasn't too fascinated by the video clip, not my kid of stuff. You didn't miss anything essential. But if you need someone more trustworthy that OriginalGriff, and a more reliable link target than YouTube, before you click a link, then you miss out on a lot.

Err...pretty sure it was a joke.
|
|

Possibly in this specific case.
But I have several times on CP explicitly asking other readers what is behind a quoted link, stating that they do not want to follow it themselves. I doubt that all of these were jokes. It is difficult to know when what appears as carefulness is a joke and when it it serious.

What if we would replace polluting and noisy aircraft with gliders? My idea would be to use lots of smaller glider airports that could be used by gliders to hop from airport to airport within reasonabe distances, it would not be an alternative for transatlantic flight probably, although seaworthy glider-carriers might be an option 
I'm not an aviation expert, so I would love to hear what people in the know think about this idea.

Gliders have no engines, so they are typically taken to height by a powered aircraft. When they are released, they trade distance for height. In flight they can also use updrafts to gain height, but must avoid downdrafts.
Some gliders can take off from a cliff, but cliffs aren't available near every airport location. I suppose that one could lift a glider with a balloon, but that would make the whole process much slower, and would probably be no faster than ground travel (e.g. by train).
Lastly, gliders are typically light-weight, and cannot carry more than one or two people.
I suspect that the economics would make using gliders impractical for travel purposes. Ground travel by train is likely to be much more efficient.

I know the Germans developed a giant glider plane in WW2 that could carry a lot of soldiers or even a tank, but at the time it was not very practical and they did not use it as far as I know.

And it had to be lofted by a powered plane, so I don't see where the great savings will be coming from.
Gliders have their place, but passenger aviation isn't one of them.
