'cause they are looking for a home
yeah they are looking for a home

You believe what a campaign sells you? It is after all in the candidates best interest.

I could careless about democrat, and republican infighting. Which is what this video amounts to.

I know who I'm voting for ands its not the lesser of two weevils because one of the lesser of to weevils is still a weevil.

This videos is obvious flamebait.

Its an odd thing, and you really have to wonder why it is happening: Basically something internally on the sift (weevils?) is trying to push you over to httpS, rather than just the normal http:// . The S causes FF (or any browser) to check for a security certificate. It finds none, and throws it's wheel.

I thought so too smibbo! Actually I thought it was a boll weevil

nice weevil. good antennae placement

here's another - http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1357/1077570216_8a9eb96bfb_o.jpg

Yikes!!! Peoples, the problem could be solved easily if the masses would see through the whole of the shebang: the 2 party illusion is the rub.....kill both, as Rotty suggests, we may be overdue....All for everyone clearing the collective head before any effective revolution-

step one is to kill yer TV for a week
step two, stop buying shit for a week
step three, after the week, watch the twirl for a week...

shut the door on Chinese imports for a month and watch millions in China die, because Americans did not shop Walmart for a week-you can follow the money, to the builders-up, and tearers-down, of men and nations....destroy the weevils before they infest the crops, or eat weevil-filled biscuits, and shut the fuck up!!!

ELECTION 08' "Next iteration of the carnival of the "me and mines".....

There's a special little island, where all the above are welcome, without prejudice or judgment, to wallow in their experience-or, they can come here, and have their asses sifted, of detritus, and boll weevils of the mind!

Gotcha... serves me right for skimming
IMO, the UI is confusing if you haven't used playlists before. The other UI (weevil in the baking ingredients) is cleaner. I can't figure out how to "browsed to your full playlist listing"... have visited http://www.videosift.com/playlist/winkler1.

Edit: Figured it out. Was created until I made a test playlist. I'm 99% sure it wasn't there until I made a test playlist. Tried refreshing a couple times before doing so.

Wow that was ridiculously quick response...

“I'm peacing out for a bit, its finals time and this shit is waaay too distracting. Talk to you all again in January -TCS”””

Cool. It's nicer to the newbies when once they had to take the heat for the "weevils" bad behavior. For the most part, VS has been very lucky, (or skillful) in keeping the mischief out.

cheers

Wow, SG, you really were MIA for a while. Yes, the new member queue was a bit too harsh/discouraging given that most of our new members have no bad intentions, so now new members have an almost normal account. The only caveats are 1) they can only queue a single video at a time until one escapes the queue (you see the big red probation "P" in the queue; use the checkbox to select only these videos), and 2) they can not vote for other new/probation members until after their first video is published.

With these restrictions, it has become much more difficult for weevils to make their way into the sifter.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

Well lets try this first. I have nightmares about waking up one day and seeing the queue completely empty. Gotta have coal in the furnance. Or gotta have unsifted flour - choose your metaphor.

A little anecdote- I sort of wanted our site to be called "videoFilter" a bit of a rip-off of MetaFilter, a site which has a really nice community - but I was making pancakes using my favourite recipe with a sifter and the flour was coming out all nice and light leaving husks and weevil wings in the sifter, and it hit me.

Here is a great recipe for pancakes, you can't go wrong if you follow this, I found it on the Internet somewhere, but don't know the original source - sorry for the lack of credit.

VideoSift Pancakes

Sift before measuring*:

1-1/2 c. all-purpose flour

Resift with:

1 t. salt
3 T. sugar (optional, but tastes really good, can use maple syrup)
1-3/4 t. baking powder

Combine:

1 or 2 slightly beaten whole eggs
3 T. melted butter or vegetable oil
1 to 1-1/4 cups milk

Mix liquid ingredients quickly into the dry ingredients. Ignore the small lumps. Let the batter sit for about 20 minutes while you warm up the griddle. Put a little butter or oil in the pan.
