Nice question!
I am working on making model rocket fins for the my physics classes ( I hand saw them from big "tongue depressors" from a local hobby store}...
aaaannndd...I'm watching my largescreen t.v. on the wall with KDE Neon installed runnning either a slideshow of "sexy Linux/Kubuntu/LibreOffice girls" and listening to Tenerif Atlantis stream or as a break an episode of the Zatoichi the Blind Samurai/Masseur" Japanese television series from a few decades ago. ( It is NOT as schlocky as it may INITIALLLY appear to jaded European / U.S. eyes, it was a very seriously produced set of shows and was loved by all, it was the longest running t.v. series in Japan and the equivalent of the U.S. "Gunsmoke".
HOWEVER Just AFTER that I actually watched, in real time, YouTube censor a livestream of Wayne Dupree and NO.... NO....I do NOT regularly watch him, I never even HEARD of him before I clicked the linky on YouTube.
but I had finished the episode of Zatoichi and he popped up as a "trending" thing...
Dupree is a black conservative commentator, etc, with a relatively wide audience in the black community in the U.S.
Anyway he was relating a story about how he and a bunch of African Americans had decided to GO TO WASHINGTON to....shock, horrors....
WATCH CONGRESS IN ACTION ......
The thing was that they wanted to "cheer on" a Republican who was "having a back and forth" with a Democrat ( They apparently hoped that he would be "in action") on the House Floor HOWEVER something went terribly awry.....
And then.... low and behold right after he said that....a "blue" "YouTube" symbol filled the screen and the sound went away.
Ok TWO THINGS HERE....
a) I knew just as he said the words, what they saw.....
What they SAW was NOT the wonderful congress people debating the merits of whatever it was before an attentive audience of other congress people...
nay............What theySAW was....that the place was EMPTY except for a "stand-in" to lead the House in session, a secretary and a baliff. and the two people....
It is ALL A FAKE for the Congress people to have a VIDEO TO SHOW THROUGH THE LOCAL T.V. back home to the "rubes" in Chicago or the "rubes" in don't know..... Hurricane Deck Arkansas...
b) When the blue YouTube image appeared .......I ASSUMED that at first that Firefox had blew a fuse and would soon reboot but nay.... after an initial black screen of maybe five seconds, the blue youtube image appeared and lasted for maybe three minutes and then Dupre REAPPEARED in mid sentence and..... he was talking to the other guy that works with him in the studio and THEN.....he saw what I saw on the comments alongside the YouTube thing that other viewers had seen that YouTube had automatically blocked him and were posting it in the comments section and....and he said..."What? I can't talk about Congress or say Jesus now?"
Note: why he would have used the word Jesus in the discussion I do not know, maybe one or more of the people were Pastors.
Anyway.... Censorship in the name of NOT OFFENDING ANYBODY even the cat in action before my verrraaahh eyes! :0
nice question! lol

Top hatch? With Chrome? You've upgraded to the deluxe model, I'm envious.

The Hot Spot, with Don Johnson, TV, over-the-air (antenna). Problem is, between some work-work, lunch, and a walk, I've only hit segments of it, and apparently I must have hit the hot segments as it looks very interesting. And the problem with all that is that now I'm thinking I want to see the whole thing and so will be at Hastings or Amazon placing a DVD order. And the problem with ALL that is that when I woke up this morning, I never heard of The Hot Spot starring Don Johnson.An intellectual says a simple thing in a hard way.

Don Johnson is like me, getting long in the tooth (or what's left of them! )
