General Discussion

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.
