I posted a 1 minute video to my friend on facebook chat. I have done this many times.
This time, the video vanished on the facebook accout on the Windows laptop I posted it on.
However, it still shows up in Messenger, and it still shows up on my android cell phone, and it still shows up when I log in on a different computer into the same facebook account.
I think it has something to do with Facebook's new "sync" feature. How do I force it to sync?
I am sitting here in a pubic library with my 17.5" gaming laptop.
In walks this super cute guy in his early 20's who is obviously gay. He's wearing short shorts and a diamond earring. He also has a 17.5" gaming laptop.
I assume he is looking at porn like I am.
After an hour, I ask him about his computer, and he's all excited..
Then I find out he is working on some architecture stuff for college!
WTF? I know about architecture.. and it is a dead occupation. It used to be that someone had to be quite skilled with drawing, and have all sorts of mathematical skills, and expensive equipment. Now, with computer software, what used to take weeks to do in architecture can be done by any idiot in half an hour. This guy is wasting his time studying architecture. He needs to be doing gay porn. (Maybe he is!).
Seriously though.. it is a crime that colleges continue to push students into fields of study that are obsolete. For instance, meteorology. Every significant city used to have several qualified meteorologists for each network and for radio and newspapers. Now, they can just hire any idiot to get all the forecasts for free that are derived from satellite data. Nobody needs them anymore. Accountants.. same thing. Basically, any occupation that requires a brain has been replaced with computers. On the labor end of things, robots and machines have been creeping away at jobs for over 100 years.
It's time that universities start educating young men to produce high quality gay porn.
@lololulu19 one thing to notice in HANDBRAKE that I missed.
To convert an entire batch, you have to select ADD ALL when you click on Add to Queue
@blablarg18 Funny thing about this absurd conviction....
Find a liberal who is happy about Trump's conviction... and ask them "What did they convict him of?"
They will answer "uh... what?"
@raphjd Maybe Manchin has ideas of running as a 3rd party presidential candidate?
He still caucuses with the democrats, so this won't change the balance of the House.
there is a nude of Don Johnson floating around...
@MrMazda that did not occur to me... thanks!
That would probably mean... that every time someone gets a phone call (such as the 50 telemarketer calls I get every day), they pop up as being active on Facebook.
99% of the calls I get want to either:
cremate me
buy my house
extend warranty on my car
sell me insurance
install solar panels
sign me up for healthcare
for some reason, I do not get them trying to sell me medications anymore
@dirtyjidd Denzel Washington.. maybe
and guy on right looks like Will Smith's son (daughter) Jaden
did you include Monty Python's Graham Chapman in "The Life Of Brian"?
or the fake dick of Marky Mark Wahlberg in "Booger Nights"?
Friend of mine shows up as being online dozens of times per day, sometimes for just a minute sometimes for about an hour.
He does not seem to be viewing Facebook, even though his icon shows that he has facebook open.
What would cause this phenomenon?
The best explanation I can think of so far is that maybe he has Facebook installed on his phone, and everytime his phone is not dormant, Facebook automatically goes active.
@lololulu19 In handbrake, there are auto-naming output file options that allow you to convert underscores and punctuation.
UNCHECK those two boxes if they are on, because that will screw up your filenames when replacing the original files.
You can then rename the files as you like with your torrent client. 
There is a reason they objected to having a WHITE girl on the debate team. In debate competitions, that white girl was TERRIBLE at coming up with "Yo momma so fat..." jokes.
@jokuihmemies well.. 1080p is what I would call the maximum. anything more than that is just a waste.
Also.. be sure to convert all those VOB files. They intentionally make them big to fill up a DVD to avoid people copying them.
There is a debate about how large a video should be. My PERSONAL standard is 480p. I use the free HANDBRAKE to convert my files with the FAST 480p preset. I realize that most of you will have some other standard such as 720p or 1080p. (anything more than that is ridiculous for a fuck scene). But, whatever your preference is. Use Handbrake to convert your files. If the converted file is smaller than the original - REPLACE it (don't rename it).
What I am doing, is moving all scenes I want to convert to a directory called
c:\0
Then, I have handbrake convert those scenes and put the converted scenes into a directory called c:\0\done
Then comes the tricky part: move the smaller versions in the c:\0\done directory are smaller than those in the c:\0 directory - move the file in c:\0\done with the big one in c:\0
Be careful though. Sometimes Handbrake changes names - such as converting _ underscores to spaces. Make sure that the converted files have the SAME EXACT NAME.
Finally, in your torrent client, set those files to STOP so they are not corrupted by being re-downloaded. When you click on that file in your torrent client, it will still play, and your client will still say you already downloaded it so you don't have a duplicate download. ALSO, using this method, you can still MOVE those converted files as if they were not converted.
I have found that doing this allows me to store five times as many movies.

One other thing. Only do this for OLD videos that have stopped seeding long ago. I would suggest not doing it to anything that you downloaded in the last year. At a minimum, I would not do it to anything that is not at least 2 months old. You don't want to screw up getting your SEED points.
A very short explanation about video quality and file size. You really are not losing much by making most files smaller, because the codecs recognize patterns in the frames and only store the data that CHANGES in the video frame - which is usually very little. For instance, a bird flying across a blue sky would only record the BIRD and not repeatedly storing the data that makes up 99% of the frame. This is why some scenes compress much better than others.
Also, I would discourage going smaller than 480p to the 360p level - because 360p is often noticeably inferior.
I am interested in seeing how an app such as Grammarly would convert such books as:
The Holey Bible
The Lord Of The Cock Rings
Moby Dick
Dr. Seuss
Shakespeare
Tom Sawyer
I have not seen anybody mention who qualifies for having their student loans canceled.
Most interesting is what is a high school graduate in 2024 supposed to anticipate when they go to college? Should they get a job, save their money, choose a local college, etc. Or should they forget about all of that, pick the most expensive university there is, pay for it with student loans, and expect that they will never have to repay those loans?
@raphjd cereal rapists did not exist before Quaker Oats made those seductive little toasted oatey-o's with the hole in the middle.
@blablarg18 the best way to learn Italian derogatory terms is to watch "The Sopranos".
@jaroonn this stunned me. NOBODY in Biden's administration served in the military except for Secretary of Defence Austin.
Joe got FIVE deferrments so to avoid going to Vietnam.
