    ...anyone having issues with YouTube today?

    Seems anytime I click a link to it or open it in a new tab I get this ugly looking basic HTML display and all the videos will only play at thumbnail size.  I cleared cache and cookies but that didn't fix anything.

    I've changed no settings since I last logged on to the site.

    ...I am and have for years with no issues until today. I even tried turning it off, refreshing the page and that still didn't work.

    Clicking on the embedded video above, it plays fine, it's just when I actually go to the site.

    When I click on the YouTube link in the video I get the same ugly page as well.

    Why is it that if I hear someone being sick in the bathroom, I feel sick to my stomach?

    Neurological empathy.   Our brains have learned to associate the sights, sounds and feelings in things we've experienced ourselves.  It's the same thing when one cringes when one sees a person slide across gravel in a film.  And why a bar full of men will all groan in empathy when the quarterback gets crushed.  And why men will protect their jewels when they see a another man get kicked there.

     

     

     

    i feel empathy pains in my legs, people, buppy, or any animal fall or trip.  pins sensations on my legs. 

    I cringe everytime I see a film of a motorcycle accident regardless of the severity.

    Morning. Mobs of white capped seagulls like an army of kitchen hands foraging around overloaded dumpsters which don't smell so bad since a luminous grey overcast moved in to take some hot out of the sun :)

    Seagulls are as mean and aggressive as they come, be careful!  Nice the overcast has chillwd the dumpstrs down.. indecision

    whoa it was getting on the nose here, not so stinky right now but unless it rains for a day or so air freshener sales might go up for a while

    Perhaps you zoomed out accidentally and Windows is remembering your preference for that site?  Try looking at the zoom level and resetting it.

    Heh, not reading all 122 messages, if anything is critical PM me.

    Phone interview at 2:00PM today, doesn't feel like a good fit but it's worth a shot.

    And, on the OMG OMG OMG front, the fellow I'vebeen doing some audio-for-video work with in the UK has just licensed 4 songs from me at $100 each! It's not a ton of money but is enoug to carry me on for several weeks before disaster finally befalls me!  PLUS, I can say I have now been paid for my music to be used to score animation to, so I qualify as a semi-pro!!!

    I'll be making os list of the videos and posting them here, 2 are already done.  There may be more in the works as well!

    OMG CASH MONEY FOR MY MUSIC!  laughsurprise Every little bit helps, I swear! My burn rate is low so this will bail my butt out.

    Bought 3 Powerball tickets, maybe I'll win $10 lolol!!

    Back to sending files tp the UK...

     

    hey gratz & very well done :)

    Thanks.. still in shock, totally unexpected.. will help keep body and soul together for a while.

    Didn't win Powerball! crying Just my luck, will have to work all my life.

    Bank run today, and second round interview tomorrow.. looking very positive.. here's hoping it all goes well! laugh

    ...yeah didn't hot the Megabucks either.

    Wish I could find a living wage job, everything I see here that deals with my background pays squat for wages a good portion barely above the state minimum which is certainly not enough to afford a place of my own.

    Good luck on the second round.

    Thanks for the well-wishes! laugh I feel pretty positive but I've been wrong before.  The headhunter is sure excited, anyway...

    I'll keep my fingers and what's left of my toes crossed for you, hopefully something will come along. smiley

    Rent in Austin is getting stupid.. try to find a furnished place within a decent commute is tough, it's actually cost-competitive to stay at an extended stay inn. indecision Oh well.. if I can get a perm job here I can move into an unfurnished place and rent a futon, a TV, and  a couch.  Probably be the most cost-effective approach. 

     

    taxes are so outrageous lot of people rent a room to help pay their taxes.

    I believe the word is insane... And that's Suffolk, forget Nassau county... My friend lives in Port Washington and his taxes are criminally high. 

    When me and my wife first bought our house we used to rent out the second floor (the house was set up as a Mother/Daughter arrangement)... We rented it to two nice young girls for two years until they had a falling out with each other and moved, after that we did it for three more years to two separate tenants who were okayish (one girl crashed her car through the chain link fence and hit a tree... Twice... No real learning curve with ice I guess)...(actually, I don't even know what the problem was because both times the driveway was clean and salted)... But when we got our last tenant that was it... Psycho-chic from hell... When we met her she seemed nice and normal (the real estate agent even claimed to have done a background check)... but after the first week it turned out she was an alcoholic and like to fight with random boyfriends she'd bring home, she would break doors and walls when she go drunk... I believe she may have even tried to stab a boyfriend, because apparently the cops who came one night told us they had been there the day before when I was out and they responded to a call about that...then after a few months she stopped paying rent and we had to file eviction papers... It took almost a year for the sheriff to set up an eviction date, but the day before they were to arrive she moved out leaving the place a wreck... She fell off the face of the world after that... we wanted to sue her for the damages, but apparently she was not using her real name and no one could locate her for what it was worth to find her... we also found out her car was stolen and the license plates were from a pickup truck near Albany...  I'd never, ever do that again, all it takes is one bad tenant to ruin everything.  

     

    I believe she is now in Austin.  Could be the woman I rescued from the streets in September and had to evict in December.  Finally got rid of her, her son, and dog yesterday.

    ...found the actual reason (won't say "culprit" as it was very useful).  I also have an add on called "Clean Tube" which gives me a "cleaner" connection by screening out out ads that are in videos. Now I am not only finsing videos in playlists (including my own) that actually are adverts, but I get these pop up text notifications for adverts while watching a video right in the video window. Very annoying on top of the banner ads on the page and ads in the sidebar.

    Hopefully the developers at Mozilla realise this as update these add ons/plugins to adapt.

    I don't use Chrome as it doesn't play well with some of the other sites I frequent and I never use IE for security reasons (that was how my system was last infected even though I had AV protection).

    This is also why I usually wait for films to end up on the "second run" circuit as all the major first run cinemas now have adverts mixed in with the previews. When my friends took me to see Star Wars for Christmas, there was what looked like a preview for what looked to be a really neat anime film that I thought would be cool to see. Turned out it was an advert for some video game. 

    If I'm going to drop 12$ - 16$ on admission and another 10 - 15$ for concessions, I would expect my experience to be advert free. I miss the days when Cinemas still screened films that were on actual film. All you got were maybe a couple previews, a cartoon or two, and then the feature.prsentation. Now with the video projection/stream format, it's just like television except that you have a m,uch bigger screen, louder sound system, and pay a big price for a couple hours which includes being assaulted by ads.
