It's in the rule book. https://www.randa.org/en/rog/the-rules-of-golf/rule-16
I imagine that most folk will use this rule as soon as the ground looks different to the fairway. Playing devils advocate though, a divot isn't the same as the fairway, so does 16.1b apply?

I stated that the abnormal conditions the video references, is stated in the rules. The reason for the drop is probably one to take up with the author of the video.

How to deal with a " self inviter"? A guy who is known to us socially and with whom we occasionally play has taken to inviting himself to our regular meet ups. How to tell him to wait to be asked?

So you know him.. you have played with him.. don't see the issue
Popped to the driving range and after decided to use the short game area.
There’s 2 greens - 1 has a no chipping sign and the other no such sign and a practice bunker.
Why do some knobs decide to use the latter for putting practice when the other is empty

Been mentioned before, I'm sure - but folk who don't know the basic rules. Yesterday caddied for a mate in a semi-final and he was entitled to a free drop from a staked tree. Oppo was insistent that because ball was in long grass, then the drop had to be in long grass. "You can't have a better lie" says he. (1 CL from NPOR put my mate just on very edge of fairway). Oppo still adamant even after I showed him the rule

One of the annoyng facts of sky that with so many sports channels they still have to put stuff on the red button which you cannot record. Really annoying when 2 of the channels are often showing the same thing (mainly football).
At least the final bit of the Ladies golf was worth watching.

Injuries.
I've played all season with a issue. It even meant not playing Sunningdale a few months back.
Just can't shift it. I'm taking a week off golf to rest it and getting in for a sports massage.

Our club letting our best greenkeeper leave to another local club without even countering their offer.

Was about to say the same. Finally getting some sun and the course should be drying out and the greens are being hollow tined. Already had an email saying the Medal tomorrow has been cancelled.

My course has a lot of riggs on the fairways and I've been in this position quite a few times when the mowers haven't gotten into the bottom of a rigg for some reason and the lie is more like a first cut than the fairway. I can imagine the reaction of my playing partners if I tried to get a drop from that.

What’s a rigg? The only dictionary definition I can find is a type of shark and I assume they aren’t to be found on your fairways.
