          I think that's called an NDP nomination meeting.

              So, nobody is going to fix the punctuation?
              Why does the rest of the country get first dibbs on half my income?

                The site meets US DOE testing standards! I think Telos got Doge'd too.

                  You already called what happened to telos.
                  I sent him a pm a month ago, and still crickets.

                    Does anyone know how to embed a YT vid with the ?t= timepoint functional?
                    Rather than "skip to" in the message body?
                    Not a big deal, but if there's a way...

                      As far as I know there's no way to do that here.
                      1. The video tag ignores the timepoint
                      2. The short url http://y2u.be/ also ignores the timepoint

                      What everyone seems to do is say "watch between mm:ss and mm:ss"

                        Thanks for the response,
                        I figured that would be the case but every once in a while, there are no stupid questions.

                          Better bad punctuation than the toxicity of the other place.

                            I've been finding it harder and harder to visit the other place for months now.

                              That other place has so many people complaining to the mods and asking mods to ban people they do not agree with or like.

                              It is a very toxic and unhealthy forum to use. Some members have acted like the SS or Stasi and even called the cops on others there because they didn't like them.

                              I know at least 2 dozen people who have either been permanent banned for very minor and petty stuff or who refuse to use it anymore.

                              I made a very funny joke there once about the navy that everybody laughed at and a mod removed it and everyone else who replied to or linked it and gave me an infraction for it because he said he was in the navy or naval reserve and said he did not like the stereotype portrayed about the navy which he viewed as disrespectful or hateful.

                              When others asked what happened to my now gone funny joke post I said it triggered somebody very sensitive, very badly who removed it and then the mod PM'd me threatening to ban me for making that follow-up comment to other members asking.

                              They are a very special type there, especially some of the mods! They remind me a lot of Reddit mods.

                              Not all are bad although, two regular mods from Ottawa are cool and I have even been to their homes.

                                You just described what it was like 10 years ago. I still cruise the for sale ads once in a while...like, every 6 months or so. I don't bother reading forum posts.
