*Quality story.

I found the bug in siftbot's code so *promote should properly be re-queuing posts now.

Thanks!

P.S. Great custom profile style.

You mean that wasn't intentional? I thought maybe it was on your calendar or something. It's crazy how long you've been a member. It seems like a very short time ago the whole "You are blankfist!" controversy erupted.

Anyhow, before my previous comment I manually changed the status to published because it had 11 votes at the time and was still set to discarded. Weird! (Aka. broken!)

Thanks for the live example!

Yes after the promote expired with < 10 votes it should have been pqueued.
Then after getting 10 votes it should have been published.

I'll look into this today.

Aha found it!!! I promoted this video from @BoneRemake a year ago and it went to the promote section for the three hours, but then back to his discarded folder after that...but it only has 8 votes...could that be why it didn't go to the sifted folder after? http://videosift.com/video/White-Lies-Death-Live-on-jooles-holland

Fascinating. *Quality unsolved science mystery.

Where did the Butt Hole Road from the thumbnail come in? I didn't see that. Was I not paying close enough attention?

There's a great little Vietnamese supermarket near me in Little Saigon called... Well, I'll let you have a look at the name:


Yep, it's A Dong Supermarket. (It's pronounced differently in Vietnamese and is supposed to have some accent characters, but I'm glad they didn't include them.)

Finally was able to squeeze in 12 minutes to watch this...

Wow, I'd forgotten about so many of those video games and tv shows and songs... My mind is flooded with childhood memories...

It's wonderful having so many vivid memories and momentarily reliving in my mind what it felt like to be a child experiencing all those things first-hand.

It just makes me wonder how my boys are going to feel about the forthcoming formative years of their lives. Not only do I want to ensure they experience all the great things (and as few of the bad things) as possible that pop culture has to offer, but I just want them for the rest of their lives to be able to remember back to their childhood with fondness.

An interesting thing about driving in Vietnam is that drivers on the other side of the street will warn you if there's a cop ahead.

If the cop is far up ahead, the other driver will use a finger to point back over his shoulder.

If you are quickly approaching the cop, they will point all four fingers down (sort of like a "hit" in blackjack).

This is more true of long straightaways in less dense areas with less traffic than the crowded city streets you see depicted here.

It is just really neat to see every stranger who's passing you to give you that friendly warning. Then once you've passed the cop, you take your turn to start warning everyone. In America most people not only won't warn you, but probably hope for you to get pulled over.
