ahh, thanks. It was one of the 'possible invocations' and then didn't say anything.

I will now beg it up
You can't use *quality on your own post. I thought that siftbot used to tell you that when you tried, but could be misremembering.
*beg gets you three days of attention for one pp, or *promote gives you a random amount for 2.
How to Open a Bottle of Wine with a Shoe (or whatever)
Not a dupe, but same trick as http://videosift.com/video/How-to-open-a-wine-bottle-with-your-shoe
How to open a can without a can opener
>> ^messenger:
And I have yet to see a practical can opener that always works cleanly.>> ^MonkeySpank:
FYI, practical can openers were invented 50 years after the creation of metal cans.
Really? I find these sort to be wonderful. Not that brand in particular, just the style of a horizontal blade that takes the whole top off rather than a vertical one that cuts the inside edge of the lid.

Thanks for voicing my exact sentiments and sharing some of your experiences.
I know concerned parents such as ourselves are probably more likely to have well-adjusted kids, but I still wish there could be some way to really shield their brains from being deformed by all the poison that surrounds them.
It's that it's just all there, so easily accessed by them waaaaay before they're ready for such things.
And then even once they are actually old enough to view porn, it's not healthy to have that much really derogatory and objectifying crap just there, front and centre. There's this swathe of pretty dimwitted sorts (a bunch on the sift), who say 'You're not protecting them, you're denying them the reality of the world'
And those people are so very misguided. They've got this simplistic 'Knowledge is power' thing in their head, and believe that everything is better the more you know. And then completely forget that you need maturity and experience to handle a whole host of things properly. A protected, nurturing and magical childhood with parent who don't shy away from questions, but also don't let them be constantly inundated with harmful influences only makes you better able to handle the world as you grow older, not worse.
I guess, in my rambling way, I'm trying to say 'Keep up the good fight Lucky'

Yeah, a pain in the butt, Youtube found that as I uploaded it, but said it wasn't an issue... and then promptly blocked the content for most of the world.
Here's another version with music supplied by Youtube. Somewhat different in feel

Thankyou Dag and Lucky, and all the members who spend ages doing housekeeping, for creating a site I visit every day.
I love the site, and it's the only one I've ever felt the urge to meet people in real life from.
Thanks guys for a place of interesting discussions and funny cat videos.
To the Future!
The link about the Melbourne sift-up made me curious. Sounds like a good time, but your video has been blocked - "This video contains content from WMG, who has blocked it from display on this website." Sounds like an overly aggressive copyright hunter.

How right you are... thankyou sir.
(Might pay to put that option on the results page of a normal sort as well.)
In reply to this comment by lucky760:
There is a sort option on the advanced search form.
Cheers!

Hey, don't know if you've thought of this before... but could there be sort options on the results of a search?
I'm assuming it's currently sorted by relevance, but I almost always would like to sort it by date, newest first.

YOU have been opening packets of spaghetti wrong
Right, I'm adding that recipe to my list of dishes... I love a bacon, pea, pesto style one that the kids think is awesome, but I'm definitely giving this one a go. This is the sort of quick dish you want to whip up for the family when you just don't have the time for something that takes ages.

And being that we have chickens, the eggs will be fresh as

It's good now. I was making one final fix that caused the server to hang. Because it was only for a few minutes, I didn't want to put the site back into Razzleberry mode.

Oh oh, more Gateway time outs at the moment (6:50am Australian Eastern time)... that server isn't dying again is it?
