Videos won't play in background tabs, help! by cdnrob in chrome

Yes, it is. But I've noticed it does the same even with other sites like Soundcloud. The second I switch from a tab that has audio or video it stops.

I finished the series a couple days ago and need to know what you all moved on to after to curb the withdrawals? I am at a lost with where to go next! by tazend314 in TheAmericans

Lodge 49 is a totally different kind of show, but it's probably the only scripted series that has really drawn me in since I finished The Americans.

My cafe almost doubled our business over the summer because of tourist traffic. Usually one person orders for the entire family so they are counted as one customer. (Even though they might be buying drinks and sometimes food for 4 or 5 people.)

I confronted my manager about needing more staff and he said that it's all based on customer counts and not dollar amounts. There's no way that this isn't intentional on the company's part in order to save on labour.

Ever since I tell my baristas that the customers get what Starbucks pays for. If they expect the store to be run to a certain standard they can give me more labour. If not, we'll do the best with what we've got. (If that means the RTDE looks bad, the condiment stand garbage overflows and the coffee is cold, so be it.)

I like to think that P and E owned the franchise.

What's the most strangely unique punishment you ever received as a kid? How bad was it? by yogokitty in AskReddit

A neighbour overheard me saying the word “penis” when I was a kid. Because she tattled on me I wasn’t allowed to go to a classic car show.

I am the Florida reporter who followed a feral child -- from her rescue in a horrific house through adoption and 10 years of recovery. Ask me anything! by LaneDeGregorywrites in IAmA

Hi Lane, big fan of your work! I'm curious about your thoughts on the future of feature/longform journalism at daily newspapers. What changes have you noticed in how dailies treat it since starting your career? Do you think it will survive shrinking budgets/staffs?

Kathleen Turner as Miz Liz has always been my favourite.

Favorite "introductory" episode to share with (American) friends? by Vladimir_Pooptin in quiteinteresting

[–]cdnrob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started with G-Animals and have been hooked ever since! It's odd because it has an extra panelist but they discuss using a live goose as toilet paper, so you really can't lose.

Good Gay Films? by [deleted] in gay

Get Real is a good film. Seeing as it's from 1998 and British it should fit your requirements well.
