Whatever type of yogurt is your favorite, buy a single container of that kind, plain.

Add one heaping spoonful of yogurt to milk that has been heated to just prior to boiling and cooled to b/t 105 and 112 F-Maintain that temp range over night and, voila.

(If you want your yogurt a bit stiffer add to your whole milk, about 2/3 c dry milk , or maybe some agar agar if you prefer.)

I like mine runny, so I nix any thickeners-Whole, organic milk and really really good Greek or premier yogurt-

I'm really not sure what to say here because on one hand people want certain kinds of very violent porn. Are they (porn actresses) not briefed on "This film will contain choking, slapping, etc etc"?

The problem is these abuses happen in ALL workplaces but since you're already fucking it makes it almost impossible to decide in black and white standards.

I think these people need to have their own private managers on set with them if things start to go awry where they say no they want to stop etc they can be their advocate and put an end to what is happening. Getting government involved will just make things worse.

The entire PORN industry is not that bad because there are many women who do porn their entire lives and love it.

I think one of the REAL problems is the Owner/Operator that really seems to be happening. A very wealthy guy who wants to fuck hot chicks just has to film himself now and voila it's not prostitution it's pornography.

If there is an entire set of people (IE Not just people getting fucked and one guy with the camera) nobody would stand by and watch these things happen.

De-criminalize all drugs in the United States. Make them available and cheap with a prescription from an MD. along with mandatory attendance at a drug counselor. Voila, no more drug lords, no more massacres.
I'd also be willing to venture that the same people who are using drugs now, will be the ones using them after decriminalization while the ones not currently using, won't turn into druggies just because they can access them legally.


Yah I wonder why they won't do the ONE thing the drug lords DON'T want, which is to make drugs legal. The thing that upsets me the most about this is that because an essentially harmless plant has been made ilegal, thousands upon thousands of people die every year, for what? Nothing...

Two things come to mind:
1) "Unintended acceleration"---the cognitive panic of someone THINKING they are pressing on the brake as hard as they can when they are actually pressing on the accelerator as hard as they can (well known psychological phenomena known as cognitive dissonance usually follows these episodes---"I cannot have just run over my grandson by pressing as hard as I could on the accelerator so the only possible explanation is that the car ran away and the brakes failed"

or

2) Large floor mats, either after market (to catch rain/snow) or loosened from the floor pan securing pins (cleaning? sloppy?) pin the accelerator to the floor. Spring is too weak to return it---voila. Run away car.

And in their panic, they can't get on the brakes hard enough, because, yes, I believe it's true, there is no production car, assuming a roadworthy state BEFORE such an episode, can "burn out" its brakes or "run away" from a full application of the brake pedal.

@renatojj Apologies for the late reply, have been running for work and it doesnt look like that will stop

True that some countries may have less cooperation, though is that dependent on the economic system used or something else? For instance, East Germany had 100% employment and a very active economy, more so then west Germany in some regards. It was ofc run top down with little choice and politically biased, but I am not sure if that lessons the amount of economic transactions, ie cooperation. I guess it comes down to what you define as cooperation.

BTW "those criticisms of the depletion of finite natural resources consists of the economic Law of Diminishing Returns, opportunity cost, and scarcity in economics" -- I never understood what they mean with that. Even if the resource cost goes up strongly due to scarcity it doesnt mean that that resource can be replaced by something else, or that the higher cost (than the original cost of the scarce resource) of the replacement can be born by its consumers.

Now you say something very interesting: I agree with you that capitalism isnt always about ever-increasing competitiveness, in practice. In cases where you have competition, you get ever-increasing competitiveness. (This is in theory what all capitalism strives for) In cases where you do not have competition you dont. That is exactly what we are talking about. Free market philosophy assumes there is always near perfect competition right? How else would the market balance itself if there is no competition? Would you agree that free markets only work where there is competition?

Lets see when we have competition:

"competition is proportional to the difference between supply and demand" That doesnt sound right. If there is large demand and little supply (the difference is big), there is little competition as all suppliers will overcharge like hell as they will be able to sell anything they can manufacturer anyway. If there is large supply and little demand there can be competition, though usually this results in companies leaving the market until you have: If the supply and demand are about equal, you SOMETIMES have competition that keeps things in balance. Or you can have a monopoly for whatever reason and that market has again little to no competition. In other words, in no single scenario is competition guaranteed. Actually, there is good reason to assume markets move to monopolies naturally in all cases. In a market that is turning from early adopters to mass market, there is always focus on economies of scale. Companies need to get bigger to make sure they have the lowest cost price (best competitive edge) and to keep their shareholders happy as they demand growth to make their investments worth more. Bigger companies means fewer companies on the long run, as the market is always limited. This means companies will take over other companies until only a handful remain. Voila. Actually, if it werent for (anti-free market) anti-monopoly rules lots of markets would only have 1 company left. That company would be so big it would be impossible for a new entry to push them out of the market or even get a foothold unless the market itself crumbles because a newer range of products exist that make the old one obsolete. Again, without rules governing economies, things just go bust.

Which was what happened in the derivatives market. It was a completely deregulated market that was exploding itself as there were no rules governing it. When it did explode (ie when the free market failed) there were 2 options left: Let all banks fail or bail them out. Think of the consequences of following your recommendation: If 1 bank fails, it will pull the others down with it as they are all strongly interconnected. As banks are key in the economical world, the entire system would collapse. The amount of devastation would be huge, would probably kill the entire system. Now, you can argue that would be good for us, as we could build a fully new system. But before we would get there, there would be years if not decades of nightmares.
I agree with you that the fall of the derivatives market should never have happened in the first place which is exactly the reason to not follow free markets.

Above clarifies a bit my way of thinking: for many of these markets (be it banks or utilities or employment) the consequences of letting that market fail are just too big. If you have the guts to follow free markets to the end, it might work (isnt proven though) but you come to a point where you destabilize your country in such a manner that things like revolts and all kind of nastiness are highly possible and even likely. That is not progress, that is barbarianism.

You mention yourself that there are practically no free markets anywhere. You say that is because they havent been tried. I say that they have been tried again and again but never last.

I've put a lot of thought into this and here is a way out of the Ecuadorian embassy for Assange : put a trampoline on the roof and jump over to the Colombian embassy accross the street. Voila!

Life hack for leaky bags: Sick of cleaning out your garbage can after it springs a leak? Line your clean bin with two bags, one inside the other. When you take the full one out, if it rips and nasty garbage juice comes out, just put it back and take both bags. If not, throw out the full bag and put a new empty bag in. Voila. Clean bin forever.

The rubbish bags at the bottom of the rubbish bin is great until the one you're using gets a rip and spills liquid from the rubbish over all of your new bags.

I think it's pretty straightforward if you examine the card buffers.

Part of the intended misdirection is that the cards are cut, but because of the way the cards are stacked, the cut stacks are always restored.

After the initial stack-up, the sequence 100% of the time is:

• 9 random cards on top of
• 1 ace on top of
• 15 random cards (which were cut then put back together when stacked) on top of
• 1 ace on top of
• 15 random cards (which were cut then put back together when stacked) on top of
• 1 ace on top of
• 10 random cards

Hmm, this is odd. I posted this thread yesterday, came home, and accessed Videosift this morning right exactly this moment with my laptop at home.

And voila, now I'm on Videosift.

I'm guessing something was up with the Videosift servers then?

I dunno. All I know is that it's working perfectly fine now all of sudden. Weird!!!

>> ^Hybrid:

True... except I want Photoshop to do the resizing, not whatever Videosift uses to shrink it down to 130 x 98. I'm a bit of a Photoshop nut, and like everything to be perfect. >> ^Sarzy:

Well I tend to resize the thumbnail down in Photoshop to the exact size required by Videosift anyway, which is 130 x 98 pixels.
So for me, what I do is:
1. Take a screenshot of the video at the part I want to become the thumbnail.
2. Paste into Photoshop.
3. Take a long horizontal selection of the video from which I'll make my thumbnail, and copy and paste that into a new image. This may be a very wide image for now.
4. Resize this new wide image down to 98 pixels vertically. Photoshop will maintain the ratio for the width, so no stretching.
5. Now I have a 98 pixel high image but it's too wide, so with another selection box I choose the 130 pixel wide area I want to become the thumb. Copy and paste into a new 130 x 98 image and voila.
I admit for poorer quality videos I may play around with the contrast/brightness/colour to make the thumb stand out more.

That is way more convoluted than it needs to be. As radx said, all you need to do is paste a screencap into Photoshop, and then crop a rectangular selection of the video with a fixed ratio of 4:3. That's it, no extra steps needed.



Hey, whatever blows your hair back, but I always just let siftbot resize my thumbs as he may, and I've never noticed them coming out particularly artifacty or wonky or anything like that.
