It just downloads the audio file for the video, so if there is that crap, you get it. I haven’t had many issues with extra stuff though. I send it a link like https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLbNzvRx9lF_Tw6oi-I8iYbhBWNf775kwR and I get a good-enough-for-me bunch of mp3s.

Thanks for explaining to dude. It’s so frustrating talking about anything with politics here in the US. A big part of that is we don’t have shared definitions of what terms mean. That’s not even taking account of the just pure, willful ignorance of a good percentage of the population.

Just a little FYI for anyone wanting to download a playlist to listen to offline. Use yt-dlp. Load up the playlist, copy the URL, and then just run

yt-dlp --extract-audio --audio-format mp3 --audio-quality 0 https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list<the playlist>

I think Liberals kept him off the ticket.

I don’t know if I’m alone on this, but I just bought the biggest 5400rpm HDD that was in my price range when I set up. Might notice the slower speed when doing a big data dump, but for streaming purposes you can run many 4k streams concurrently and the bottleneck would probably be your network speed before you hit a drive read bottleneck.

Just search for “kneeling pad” or “gardening knee pad” and you’ll find a bunch of pretty durable options for around $10. Or, hell, just get a pair of skateboarding knee pads. You might not be the pinnacle of fashion, but your knees will be well protected.

Yeah, that’s fair. US mindset, I’m just still processing our shitshow.

Theoretically, sure. Pragmatically, we just elected a fascist insurrectionist, and it’s not going to happen in the near future.

(1/3) +(1/2)(1/3) = 1/2

Math checks out from this end.

When you vote in a Nazi, expect Nazis to be validated.

I can not imagine a sequel to Gladiator being as good as the original…but, damn, imagine if it was. That first movie is a classic.

It’s below the first one now, according to the page’s update. Not that rottentomatoes is super accurate on movie quality anyways.

Clinton left a booming economy and projections to reduce, if not eliminate, the national debt in 10 years. Then came another Bush. Bush left a shitty economy for Obama, through bullshit tax breaks for the rich during a time of bullshit military spending among other dumb actions. Obama fixed things. trump inherited a booming economy from Obama, and slowly (maybe quickly) ruined it through gross incompetence. Biden inherited a shit economy and inflation from that moron, trump. After dealing with fallout from stupid trump policies (that’s being generous), Biden managed to turn things around and the economy was once again doing pretty good. Now that dipshit trump will give his idiot voters and the rest of us another shitty economy that the next Dem will have to try to fix. The wheels on the bus go round and round.

I wish y’all luck. I’ll be way on the outside of this country watching it fall.

I’m in that country and can’t disagree. I was just paraphrasing the line from the Joker movie to a friend of mine,“We’re going to get exactly what we deserve.”

In June 1973, Led Zeppelin played a legendary concert at Kezar Stadium in San Francisco, where an unforgettable moment took place. As the band performed before over 50,000 fans, white doves were released during the closing of “Stairway to Heaven.” While most of the birds flew off into the crowd, one returned to the stage, landing unexpectedly on Robert Plant’s hand. The scene was striking: Plant, cigarette and drink in hand, calmly held the dove in the other, creating a serene image that contrasted with the band’s electric performance. -source

Legendary moment from a legendary group.

Two others were more lightly injured in the struggle that one police source said had broken out around 8:00 am as the teenagers involved were on their way to secondary school.

It was not immediately clear what triggered the fight, in which weapons including the axe, a knife, a samurai sword and baseball bats were used.

Damn. I thought some US schools were rough.

I grew up watching the TV show and didn’t hear the song with words until I was maybe a senior in HS. Kind of blew me away.

Modern fruit isn’t especially healthy:

At the Melbourne Zoo, the monkeys are no longer allowed to eat bananas. And the pandas are getting pellets instead of plums. In fact, fruit has been phased out completely. That’s because the fruit that humans have selectively bred over the years has become so full of sugar the zoo’s fruitarian animals were becoming obese and losing teeth. -source

For me that is much more than a pet peeve.
