I'm old(ish) so maybe I'm out of touch but I don't see anything good from any short form video. Tiktok, YT shorts whatever. I hate them all.
It's like we're trying to train people to have ADD.
Breaking news:
TV in America could be maliciously used to influence US elections.
BAN TV in America!!!
Mine has like 165k. First vehicle I bought myself new. SR5 is just the middle package. They had the low trim as no named, SR5 then limited.
I got mine from Jim Barkley (brand new). Six hour drive. I drove down there in a 1999 Chevy S10 ZR-2 and traded it in and bought the Tundra. I was there like 30-45 min and I financed it with them. Jim Barkley is gone now, but that was such a pleasurable experience for a car buying experience.
Still love this truck!
2008 Crewmax SR5, bought new 12/2007. I feel exactly the same way.
I listen to a podcast that is generally quite opposite of my political alignment, but I usually find it entertaining. One thing these guys believe or at least discuss quite often is that Biden is being given drugs at certain times to "kick start" him for things like the SOTU. So, I don't believe this is anything new.
They should defend it at the poles along with the right to keep all their medical issues between them and their doctors.
That's true, I was mostly thinking of full central air/heat systems.
The technology is making it possible... They can work "as heat pumps" in far colder climates than they used to not all that long ago. Allowing them to avoid switching over to electric strips heat longer.
I'm not wishing our system to have problems but the new compressors are pretty amazing! But of course, like everything, they're expensive too :)
Congratulations, counting the last few years here hoping to hit about that same age.
Ya, I'm not rooting for them to stay around either. But the point of my comment is, if you're 'taking' their content (which in this case I mean their self produced content) instead of paying for it and everyone does that, they won't stay around. A great loss? absolutely not, but a loss none less
I made the decision to block it a while ago so I don't visit it. In fact, it's blocked at the DNS level inside my house right or wrong. Wish I could laser in on YT Shorts / FB reels to cut/block them. I wish as a paying customer of YT I could disable shorts from my feed longer than 30 days.
I watch a TON of longer form YT, and while, of course, there is algorithm in play here, I have 100s of subscriptions and mostly watch those channels exclusively. I branch out when I'm just filling time mindlessly or the available content is watched with my wife and she's not here etc...
I'm sure I blocked tiktok when it was only short form. I also did it so my son couldn't get to it. Until he got an iPhone he was completely prevented from installing/visiting it. My wife now controls this parental bits (as a fellow drone... Err, iPhone user), and while the app is not allowed on his phone, I'm not sure if he can get to it via the browser.
