Thanks, it is a old movie that I remember seeing 60 years ago.
I think the movie was from the 1930 era.
Don't think YT would have it.
What is popular with Me isn't currently popular.

Many years ago I saw a clip from the movie "The Milkman" starring Jimmy Durante and Donald O'Conner.
I mentioned it in FIDO Memories echo .
Another person later said it wasn't on YT when he looked.
I went back to the Bookmark and saw a note that Universal asked YT to remove it.

Youtube is definitely not what I would use to look for specific movies (there are other sites for that), but that Reddit has links to interesting ones that get posted from time to time. Many of them do not stay on there for long.
It's just something for when you're curious and might want "random".

Piece work is another job that pays the employee according to how many pieces are worked on.
As a Router operator I put holes in wood pieces according to the pattern the designers wanted.
Round holes, larger round holes, triangular holes etc.

Every piece was worked on in the shortest time during an hour would rise the hourly pay scale .

Slower employees were paid less due to not processing as much material on their shift..
I was a new employee and hadn't learned how to speed up working on a board without leaving blimishes the Sanding Crew would have to give more attention to Since pay wasn't hourly I wasn't paid as much as more experienced workers were. Hence I quit and went looking for some other work where I was paid on an hourly scale.

It was my way of tacking a add-on to the message I wrote.
You had written something asking if I was on a fixed income and I answered that I thought most workers are on a fixed income.

I recently noticed that TV-14 movies sometimes got really RANK.
So I go to IMDB to see what the Movie Rating for the show is.
I see lots of those TV-14 shows are Rated R at IMDB.

I have a Amateur Radio License, in Part 97 Rules and Regulations foul language is forbidden.
But Public Television has begun allowing "Common" Foul Language in shows instead of muteing it.
They mute some but not all of it.
They even blur the picture in some scenes sometimes when the action gets too rank.
I wonder when the FCC will allow TV Stations or Networks to broadcast worse language over the air.

I will take a look at Brave browser and try it a bit.

The Default I wrote about is shown in a drop-down box I see on a site after tapping the 3 vertical dots and tapping Extensions and then selecting the NoScript option from the list of extensions.

While logged on right now, the list only has synchro.net .
I have the synchro.net site marked as Trusted, therefore NoScript lets everything synchro.net sends me show up on this device.

Sites that use Amazons CloudFront or Googles Double click or any of Their other (I call them Services) , I can leave any of them at NoScripts Default setting. If the page needs some JavaScript option Turned On Instead of having NoScript Save the Service I can tap Temp. Allow so NoScript will let what the Service wants to send to me pass on through during this connection to the webpage until I close my browser.

Then the next time the site is visited by me those services will not send all they have to me because the new session won't retain the Temporary setting, the Default setting will be in NoScripts list of Services.

I say Services because I don't know the proper term to call them.

Still Learning, that's why I use a BBS.

Sounds like it might be useful on my
android box. I've been
using the YT app on it, but ofcourse

Android box hooked up to a TV? For one,
NewPipe is a decent Youtube client that
blocks ads and such. It doesn't let you
log in, though, it keeps all your subs
and history to itself. Better yet,
though, there's also Kodi which has a
Youtube add-on. I use various browser
plugins to right-click YT links and
select "Send to Kodi" so I can watch
them on my TV.
Oh yeah, no ads there either.

I just did a search in the Play store and NewPipe wasn't there. Did you get this elsewhere?

I got NewPipe on my Android phone from the F-Droid repository.

https://f-droid.org/

I think F-Droid is a must these days :-P

i kind of wish they'd just bring back banner ads to websites. video ads are so annoying. i know youtube needs to get paid by showing ads but i don't want to sit through long ads.

Hello MRO!

Most of those have a "Skip" after a few seconds when they
start.

What concerns me is that the marketing industry is bubbling up and its burst will destroy many services people is used to.

Meanwhile use adblockers like everybody else, and let the sheep fund your services by watching ads.

yeah i do but these sites need the money to operate. I just wish there was something other than annoying ads to keep them afloat.

Yes, I get it and just about everything from F-Droid (fdroid.org).
They also have their own F-Droid repo you can put into the F-Droid app.
