It was awhile ago, but I do believe I may have been interrupted in the middle, and then went back to finish the video. That probably increased its points rating, with regard to setting my viewing preferences.

Nirvana to me is setting YouTube to auto and letting it play while reading TBN and even 30 minutes into a interesting thread I look up and something I like is playing on YT.

You must have watched that first video more than once.

Same thing happened to me when I watched a video where a goofball goes into a police station and baits an unsuspecting officer into arresting him for not id'ing himself while wondering around acting suspicious but not committing any crime but refusing to leave a public place.

All my chainsaw, tractor, mowing, stump grinding, etc videos got pushed out the window and everything that came up was 'cops acting badly'. Which was because my son and I were re-running it to debate the way the dude and the cop were interacting.

Strange. I'm subscribed to a couple dozen channels and what appears down the right column is nearly all related to my subscriptions.

I assume the others in that list, are there because someone paid for placement.

It's rare that one of those looks interesting. Then half the ones I've looked into are a crackpot with some unique theory he wants us to explore - down the rabbithole! No thanks.

Nirvana to me was one of my favorite grunge band in my day lol.

Nirvana to me was one of my favorite grunge band in my day lol.

I had a weird schedule back then, and as a result, somehow managed to catch the very first airing of "Smells Like Teen Spirit" on MTV. I remember the Video Jockey talking about this "new band" that's nothing like they'd ever heard before, either before or right after playing the video. Immediately though, "hey that's pretty cool!" to myself, although I was more into the heavy prog stuff at the time.

Also managed to catch the first airing of the first episode of South Park, which is bizarre, as I didn't watch all that much television.

Roadworthy rescues good show. Bbc' s original version of top gear I also enjoyed.

Jeremy Clarkson's Top Gear was not the original, only the best.

It was largely fantasy, but to tell good fantasy one needs a solid base of truth. It succeeded.

 

[jjeff]

And pretty darn funny form of entertainment.

 

[duramaxsky]

I have one on each truck for my safety as well as others. No guessing that way.

 

[flyerdan]

Not sure if it's just a Vizio thing, but there is a watch free channel that is nothing but old BBC Top Gear shows. A good go to for filler.
There is also a channel that has those insane top fuel tractors in a show called Pro Pulling League, which is fortunately entirely different than the chat-roulette version.

As European sometimes I am watching those shows and wondering, how you can stand them
Obviously I dont know how business is running in NA, but once they turn their cameras to EU I am 100 % confident TVs are making made up crap, cheap acting, drama queen shows. Really pity how this bad directing is spoiling interesting topics.

For example there were potentially nice series about Italian loggers. But show was totally spoiled with not needed made up drama
One episode
Narrator: if team X will not deliver before Friday 10 trucks of wood to pulp factory, there will be shortage of ... I dont recall now, but like EU paper industry will suffer

Camera flies over that pulp factory
There is like 1.000.000 m^3 of wood at that factory's wood lot.

Team X is unloading their 10 truck. You cant see it, it's so tiny, just lost in between 100 other trucks from other companies, unloading at the time

Narrator: EU pulp industry is saved thanks to titanic efforts of team X


I don't know, but to me it seems that producers are making such shows for retards

I get the same feeling when I look at the weather report here. So much emotional garbage (fear, ie; up to 4 inches of rain. or up to 12 inches of snow.) communicated to keep you coming back. Then when you look back at the prediction compared to the actual, you wonder how they ever got a job.

They got their job by hyping up a non-event enough to get you and others to watch!

If the advertisement for the evening news said, "nothing much to see tonight", you'd be on sports center or in bed.

. . . Then when you look back at the [weather] prediction compared to the actual, you wonder how they [weather persons] ever got a job.

My late father-in-law pointed out years ago that the weatherman's "job" was to keep the viewer from changing the channel. Hence the forecast of a metrological armageddon. Some locations, notably UK and California, use a buxom weather presenter showing cleavage (Works for me). Latest wrinkle is to sum the population of all the states the weather system will touch and announce that __ millions could be under threat of an apocalypse. (Big numbers like millions are more impressive than even 2-digit snowfalls.). Nowhere does the weather presenter's job description require accuracy.

You'd have a heart attack watching Mexican weather reports.

Wasn't there a TV station in Germany that had naked newscasters?

 

[jjeff]

Correction, Britain I guess here it is. I'm not responsible for others having to sleep on the couch. Naked News takes off in Europe

There are some Fox News women that ,,,, oh never mind.

So long as you watch with the sound off they're great entertainment. But if one speaks - not so much.

The local news just showed a trucker who was crossing Snoqualmie Pass here in WA and had to chain up. His chains were too short, so he used a USB cord to tie the ends together. He was ticketed.

Wonder how many pounds of air let out to make it fit?

Truckers I know carry extra links… maybe not from snow county?

A lot of long haul truckers seem to be from India in these parts.

pretty impressive, but i'll note that's not a usb cable but a lightning (apple type).
this isn't a case of "needs an extra link" though, that chain isn't for a 22.5 tire, maybe a 19.5? none of the tension cams are snugged and the chain still won't come near matching and there's a huge gap
