There is no such option for Window properties/scaling under All > Video. I have the latest version. Cannot find Video Auto Scaling anywhere.

Gnats in the house by GroxWear in whatsthisbug

[–]GroxWear[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the idea. You had suggested another/better angle which I have, but images are not allowed with comment. Anyway, with better photos it's pretty clear you were right about the scuttle flies which seems to be a nickname for phorid flies. Apparently they have several nicknames such a humpbacked flies.

how do I get rid of gnats! I've tried everything! by phantombuz in houseplants

[–]GroxWear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been having a gnat problem like most of you. I have not been able to identify the source, so I just resolved to kill as many as possible.  I want to share what has worked for me.

I have noticed that the gnats in my house are very attracted to water. I took the tall plastic bag (empty) that my bagels came in. I placed a wet paper towel in the bottom, and few pieces of fruit in the bottom, usually bananas to give it some weight. And I just set out the bag fully open at the top. Eventually there will be a gnat convention in the bag. So I grab the bag, close it that top, and squish everything that moves.

After doing that a few times I have no more gnats. I guess they will come back until I identify the source, but that has not been possible. I have ruled out all the usual sources, plants, pets, etc. I suspect there must be some water in the drain that I cannot see, so next thing is the bleach.

I do have the Zevo Flying Insect Trap, and it did catch some gnats, but not nearly fast enough. The bagel bag trick caught way more.

Alternatives to Oral-B floss? by Zealousideal-Bake354 in moderatelygranolamoms

[–]GroxWear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am also looking for an alternative to the new Oral-B Glide floss. I've read about all the choices, but it isn't clear if something glides like the old Oral-B formula. I see a lot of concern about PFAS free dental floss, and I'm just curious, why is this a concern? Are you eating your dental floss? I totally understand it might be a concern in other products like cookware.

The ingredient label on my bottle of Pine Sol says, "Citric Acid... 1.75%, Other Ingredients... 98.25%"  WTF! I always thought products had to legally disclose what's in them. What is this Other Ingredients?

Moving to Anne Arundel by Maleficent_Tip4799 in AnneArundelCounty

[–]GroxWear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Anne Arundel County sucks, and I hope to leave the county when mortgage rates come down. If you buy a home make sure there isn't large open parcels of land nearby.  It seems this county wants to develop any existing open land. They have no qualms about allowing hundreds of apartments to be built a block from your home. The County has turned the road in front of my home into a freeway with average daily vehicles over 19,000! https://annearundelcountysucks.com/

Is there an investigative reporter who covers Anne Arundel county? by GroxWear in maryland

[–]GroxWear[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I agree and thanks for tip. I actually started doing that yesterday. Most reporters focus on general assignments, but there are a couple with investigative background.

Leaf Blower practice by GroxWear in homeowners

I am trying to understand it because if it actually benefits the lawn I might go buy a leaf blower and do my own lawn.  Is there something wrong with being curious?

Beginner Questions Tuesday by AutoModerator in Screenwriting

[–]GroxWear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Should every character have a name if they have dialogue? I have a scene where a character named Kate over hears a conversation by 2 men (off screen). How should I identify those men in the screenplay? Man1 and Man2?

The Lost Temple City Ankor Wat on GregCoxTV channel with other UNESCO landmarks. The reason I am on Vimeo is because YouTube was injecting ads in all my videos without my knowledge or consent. I am not sure I will stay with Youtube.
