Lake Oroville Drought, California
luxintenebrisknow and agree with that feeling. did a quick search and the story is remarkably similar to this article...
https://www.kqed.org/news/11882312/lake-oroville-shows-the-shocking-face-of-californias-drought
...and is not Oroville is also the same damn dam that had a problem w/their spillway structure collapsing recently?

[at least this link is 'human' generated]
So not a fun job, i.e. Oroville OverLord. Just think of he/she when you're getting Kind of Blue. Miles of problems for them. Whether the weather goes all rain or no rain, there's no 'So What' for them. Only hope for it to go Blue to Green so it isn't All Blues.
Upside: while it's dry the spillway is being repaired.
Downside: it may not be necessary
[...and the job could lead to empty hours of boredom, only to fall to the temptation of getting the drawing crayons out to do Flamenco Sketches; dreaming where they could be, and what they could be doing.]
What is with these weird generated news stories using text-to-speech? It feels icky taking them at face value. The images could be total bunk since there are no attributions or anything.
I'm not suggesting the drought is fake, I'm just saying this is one of the worst sources that can be posted.
Cheeky Workout...
SFOGuySo..what's great is that this is...public television (KQED)
Takeout creates a lot of trash. It doesn't have to.
newtboyCalifornia essentially banned them in grocery stores (oddly they still have free produce plastic bags) and charges $.10 for paper bags. It seems to be working.....
https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/05/18/are-plastic-bag-bans-good-for-the-environment/
From 1 jan 2016 the Dutch government has obliged shops and restaurants to charge 10 cents for any plastic bag they give out.
https://www.government.nl/topics/environment/ban-on-free-plastic-bags
This means plastic bag use in supermarkets, shops and restaurants has fallen by 70%. It has also triggered shops and restaurants to be more aware. Disposable napkins, cutlery etc are only given when asked. Part of this was that it is a cost to the companies and the government made it socially acceptable, even hip, to take these out.

If memory serves, which it often doesn't, you are limited to certain sites you can post from until you get to a higher star level.
Ah! Silver says "May submit Flash videos from any video source."
Maybe that is why your submission was "invalid." It isn't the vid, it is you who is invalid.
Does this mess with your love affair with siftbot?
Ahh! That makes sense--and I learned something.
Sorry for any confusion caused, ant.
I still love siftbot. What can I say--I'm a sucker for rejection.

Boise_LibI tried another one. Same result, "Embed code appears to be invalid."
I hope this can be figured out (by bigger heads than mine). These videos are beautiful.

Hi ant,
I tried to submit a video from this site. No Go. The embed code was huge and @siftbot gagged on it.
The pics of the night sky were incredibly beautiful though.
Interesting. I will have to try one. I noticed my Mozilla's SeaMonkey v2.0.14 web browser shows an incomplete embed code. Did yours have that problem?
Firefox 6.0 showed only a portion of the code, but all of it copied (as far as my under experienced eyes could tell). I tried this one.
The SeaMonkey project looks interesting. Would it be of use to an amateur like me?
I will have to wait for my submission queue to free up. I know my test submission worked. As for SM, if you want a suite Mozilla product. Firefox is just a web browser. SM has web browser (same engine), e-mail, newsgroup/usenet reader, IRC client, web page editor, etc.

I first got interested after listening to his hour-long interview on the radio.
