So...

I'm going to be out for much of the day and won't be able to post all those videos I've been posting lately. TexasTowelie used to post so many that I can't keep up with them all.

Could someone please post the ones you like?


I know that there are going to be widespread hellacious weather and I won't be able to post Ryan Hall's Livestream when he starts it in a couple hours. It's going to be dangerous for a lot of people so I'm troubled about lack of info distribution.

Thanks!

When something really intrigues me, or has a lot of facts, like the leaked list of Peter Thiel ass-dwellers ...

One will want to scour the list rather than grab a notepad, paper or electronic, and scribble down the names.

This is a bunch of work, sure, but even with my 4-step process, it's tedium just to find out what's going on behind that little box on the screen. Two factors:

1. I really have video attention deficit disorder, and

2. Videos are designed to lock you in for the longest possible time. The dubious Mark Romano is famous for cramming two sentences of content into a half-hour ramble.

Why all the work? Well, those so-called transcripts on videos are horrible, so I use one or two services (Probably AI from the goofs encountered) and reformat them to split sentences (the online paragraph splitter is not good) and then post to pastebin, cuz they're so long and don't expose DU to copyright takedowns.

Appreciate the effort, though.

I have learned to look at the text below and click on the 'more' button to see what they offered in the description. The transcript option doesn't work for me. I post what they offer under the video, that's all I've got time for. Sometimes there's nothing and some utoobers have their transcript and a set of time stamps in outline form, I don't have time to rewrite stuff. If you want more, open their home page and go find it there.
