THIS IS THE BEST THING MANKIND HAS EVER CREATED *QUALITY

With 2 pp you can *promote your own vid, but you need gold (and only one pp) to *promote someone else's.

You can get it onto the front page (sorted by hotness) with *quality (and one pp).

I for one was thrilled to get silver and *quality

God frickin dammit!!!! I though with 2 power points I could do it... I'll be back...

Your video, Robot Chicken - Jingle Bells Batman Smells...., has made it into the Top 15 New Videos listing. Congratulations on your achievement. For your contribution you have been awarded 1 Power Point.

a friend of mine who lives in Edinburgh recommended this band to me this winter and I love them. but you're right, I don't believe it will see the front page. hopefuly, I'm wrong

Congratulations! Your comment has just received enough votes from the community to earn you 1 Power Point. Thank you for your quality contribution to VideoSift.

Yes, have heard of him. I would need to go and re-listen to see if it's coincidence that I've upvoted all the ones without him and none of the ones with him I think it might be...

As for adding Lisa Hannigan... I didn't really think I needed to! I spent a bit of time doing a playlist though. A few non-folk ones may have crept in along with the borderline ones. Feedback welcome.

Have you guys ever heard of Damien Rice, btw? Lisa Hannigan & him used to be a thing. She features a fair bit on his gorgeous gorgeous album "O".>> ^lampishthing:

And, cough , Lisa Hannigan...>> ^oritteropo:
I feel somewhat underprepared! Since all my favourite performers have at least one vid here on vs already, perhaps a eurofolk playlist is in order? I've been following Le Cargo, since every google search of bands I liked ended up there, and posting my favourite ones here.
For a non-exhaustive list to start, I would recommend these English bands:

• This is the kit
• Merz
• I am Kloot

Congrats on recently making silver! Come hang out in the lounge if you get a chance.

It actually didn't disappear from the listing. It's currently on page 4.

Hey, just wondering... So I have this video that made 10 votes sometime this weekend. Then it appeared n the front page. Then ant, the dastard, downvoted it as he is wont to do. I don't remember what my points were... Do I still have the point for the video? Just curious, like, site mechanics-wise.

Thank you, I've sorted it now

Upvote granted. That is probably the best way to reply to that sort of argument too.

The real underlying problem with the "gas prices are going up because the Fed is printing money" theory is that gasoline is just one price, and "inflation" is a rise in the price of everything, overall. Economists say that to really spot inflation, you have to look at prices that are generally pretty stable; volatile commodities like food & gas which see frequent large shifts in both supply & demand are very poor measures of inflation, because there's just too much non-inflationary noise. Here's a much more in-depth explanation from Krugman: http://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/02/26/core-logic/

Keep in mind that the methods economists use to measure inflation show that we've been in a period of record-low inflation. That should, for any rational person, be the end of talk of inflation. This constant cry of "INFLATION!" at every price increase is quite literally the economic equivalent of hearing hoof-beats and assuming it's zebras and not horses.

Most changes in prices happen in response to real shifts in supply or demand, not because the Fed is expanding the monetary base.
