current embed *dead so i've got another lined up

/bow to eric's sift-fu once again

always enjoy these kind of videos. adam savage also has a bunch of great ones on his tested channel, that include a lot of great advice on materials and methods.

one tiny revision i'd offer, would be to include the name of the composer of the score, just ahead of the performer. completely understandable, of course, since you're properly quoting the youtube source description, which didn't include it, so unless you're a classical music fan, you'd never realize.

"Clair de Lune" ("Moonlight") was written by French composer Claude Debussy. Peter Schmalfuss was the performer of this recording.

nice sift! thanks for tossing it up here!

sorry, schmawy, but you were right.
still couldn't find your original post anywhere.

consolation is, apparently no one sifted the original album version, so that's what i replaced it with, for now. and a lot of us got to see the version you sifted, and we wouldn't have otherwise.

'cuz i enjoy the futility
as much as the lyrics.

it wasn't self-serving or narcissistic.
sometimes we just need to be reminded that our actions
can actually have a positive impact.

an anonymous meatbag donated their points to me last night.

this had been one of the many times that i'd wanted to say much more,
but instead relied on probably not needing to.

it really is quite interesting!
4th column over is Amount. order by clicking the arrow next to it.

we could make a game of this, and find the doctor with the highest payoff!
so far, this one is my highest.

i simply ask those people, "do you believe slavery is wrong?"

because the only mention of slavery that i'm aware of in the bible, is that you should treat your slaves well.
not only is that not a condemnation, it's tacit approval.

so if religion is the source of morality, how do you know slavery is wrong?

even just using god's name as a swear word makes the top ten list of hell-worthy offenses, but one of the most barbaric crimes i can imagine doesn't, and it even gets an implied thumbs-up in the fine print?

religion is not the source of anyone's morality.
it's the enforcement system we invented, for those of us so morally bankrupt that they can't see a good deed as its own reward.

gz, dc!

...so this is where we came in...

and said *notdead ?

fine. close enough.

my *backup is now available, even if the now- *dead previous embed is still primary, at the moment.

so i can finally upvote and playlist it. we good, sifty?...

sifty! c'mon now. are you going to use the *backup i just gave you?

or do i have to invoke *backthefuckup?
