Well, looks like I solved my YouTube issue. Hardware acceleration was on in Chrome; once I turned it off, I was able to load the website normally.
Now all that’s left is the question of how the hardware acceleration got enabled in the first place/why it didn’t pose any problem before.
Probably unrelated but for the past year I haven’t been able. To access any website associated with Google (including YouTube) with chrome and have had to use IE to use them.
That makes no sense. Can’t access Google’s sites through Google’s browser?
Don’t do drugs, unless you’re with me.
I have a different issue with YouTube. Whenever I try to click the gear icon so I can lower the video quality (1080p is great and all, but Comcast and greedy data caps…) it glitches where I’m unable to click it and get the options. Using Chrome as well.
Refreshing kinda works but it’s like I have to click in a certain way for those video resolutions to appear.

In my defense I’m only 22 now so in 2009 I would have been somewhere in the ballpark of 15.
That’s no excuse. 😉

That’s what I thought
It’s a Heartache by Bonnie Tyler plays everyday at the restaurant I work at. Out of all the songs being played there, this one is too damn infectious in the mind. “IT AIN’T RIGHT… IT’S NOTHING BUT A FOOL’S GAME… AS MUCH AS I DEPENDED ON YOU… NOTHING BUT A HEARTACHE…”

man I was really sick last night. I mean really sick. I threw up twice. I lost count of times I had diarrhea. To say my stomach was tied in knots was a huge understatement. I felt horrible. This went on for hours, from about 7pm Monday to about 2am tuesday. I still really haven’t stopped having diarrhea, but I feel better. I wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy.
Green Russians?
So is this more like the WC3’s Random Thoughts where we have random but civilized discussion, or more like Red Sun where it’s just absolute cancerous apeshit chaos?
Green Russians?
nope. I think it was a stomach virus.

Both.
Reading back through the “Last movie seen” thread, I can’t help but facepalm at the low ratings I used to give so many movies back then. Case in point:
Black Narcissus (1947)
Not a bad film - the actors and cinematography are all very good - but it didn’t really get interesting until towards the end, when Kathleen Byron’s character goes crazy. I really think that if this movie had been written as an out-and-out horror film and directed as such, I would have liked it alot more.
5.1/10

5.1???
That’s crazy talk!
At the very least it’s one of the most important special effects films ever made.
Sister Ruth has to go mad near the end because of the tensions (sexual, sensual etc) have reached boiling point.
She is pretty warm to start with as it is, if you started with her at boiling point she would have evaporated by the end of the film.
I rate a movie by my reaction to it, not by how well the movie was put together; if I did rate movies that way, this would have gotten somewhere in the neighbourhood of 9/10. But that isn’t the way my pendulum swings, so I went with 5.1/10, which - IMHO - doesn’t mean it was a bad film, just an okay one.
As for Ruth, no, I didn’t want her crazy from the get-go. I just would have liked that chilling atmosphere from the last part of the movie where she is crazy present throughout the entire film. That alone would have made me like the film more; no script changes, no change in actors or performances, no scenes added or cut, just an overall more sinister tone.
Ugh. I gave Black Narcissus 5.1/10? Really?! I’m as flabbergasted at that low number now as Bingo was back then.
I’m so glad I eventually ditched the stupid “visceral reaction only” criteria for evaluating movies for a more even-handed approach. I just wish I had done so far sooner.
It’s called “maturation.”
You are ripening.
Yep, your slowly turning from green to yellow.

His slowly turning from green to yellow what?
Banana. He’s a holla-back girl you see.
EDIT: Just got that. I didn’t realize it because my phone has a habit of wrongly autocorrecting words into the wrong form.
I’d rather liken myself to a plantain, but whatever.
Fried plantains are delicious.
I’ve never actually tried plantains myself. I’d certainly like to, though.
Jonathan, the oldest living tortoise, was born in and around 1832. Charles Darwin published his On the Origin of Species in 1859.
Divine providence smiles upon Aldabrachelys gigantea hololissa.
I love me a good tortoise.
As long as it’s a non-zoophilic kind of love, I concur.
I’m a little sick of movies/shows at the moment. Not of ill feelings towards lack of great content, but because I feel I’m neglecting a whole universe of books. I haven’t read a book really since… high school, and that one was required. I’ve been stuck in this movie stuff for too long. I desire to be immersed in the soundtracks and visuals. Yet, I believe it would benefit me immensely to see great writing on-print for a change.
Heading to the library after work tomorrow. Will work my way up with some “classics”.

^I share your problem. I have tons of books to read, but I never seem to have the time to read them – especially with all the noise in my house.
I really wish my bedroom was sound proof.

Only with a consenting adult tortoise.
