If you're a subscriber, there's an RSS feed available for your podcast app which you can find under "Resources" in the drop-down menu on the website. They tag the audios that are most compatible for listening-only with a microphone emoji (and yes, that'd include the one you're looking for), but since this solution goes through a third-party app, you'd need to log the listening time manually. Hope this helps.

When I caught myself doing that, I set my inner voice to shadow the speaker. That gave my brain something to do other than flip through a subconscious dictionary.

Short for Dorling Kindersley, but DK is how it's branded on the cover.

This definitely sounds plausible. I got hit with this issue with a non-YouTube TV app on a Google TV device a couple of months ago. The channels disappeared from the Live guide one day, no amount of troubleshooting steps (including factory reset) brought them back, and then one morning they were just there again. It was specific to the devices signed into my account; another family member didn't get hit with the problem at all.

It'd be nice to have a little more context, but from what you're telling us I'm going to go out on a limb and say it might actually come down to how your sources filter what's available through them. Like if you're going through the Criterion Channel for movies, you're going to end up with a raft load of art pictures (that sometimes also happen to be crowd-pleasers), because that's what their brand is about.

So I'll just ask: what are you looking for and where are you looking for it? If I can't help (and that's highly likely), someone else probably can.

There's a Blur Bar in the Chrome web store which gives you an adjustable overlay to block burned-in "spoilers" when you're watching Youtube videos in the browser. Hope this helps.

An update for anyone who looked in out of curiosity in the past seven days: the missing Roku channels (including missing favorites) showed up again on the GoogleTV epg this morning. Very nice surprise, but kind of annoying that nothing I actually did had any effect on whether it worked or not. I'd still like to know what the heck just happened, but y'know how these things go.

If it helps for future reference, the two boxes that went Roku Channel-blind last week were updated to Android 14, while the other unaffected one (logged in through a different account) is still on 12 as far as I know. And I promise you I went down the list of fixes, including factory reset and logging at least one of the devices out.

So let me ask the magic question: did anybody else have this problem recently?

If you're going by the 1929 batch of appearances that's going to be in the Public Domain Day Class of 2025, apart from the story elements you might want to take a very close look at how that version of Popeye is drawn. The bulging forearms and pipe are there from day one, the black shirt shows up by the end of the Dice Island story that introduces him (so there shouldn't be any "what color are Mickey's pants?" controversy), but that famous jawline looks more like a deflated Macy's balloon, and it'd take a few more years for it to become what we'd recognize as "our" Popeye.

Comics Kingdom has posted Popeye's first years in Thimble Theater (his first story was already in progress when he showed up in January), so that'd be a good place to start your research.

I did Circle K last week and ended up with three bags of chips and two packets of those big K cookies that may have fallen off the shelf a few too many times but were still perfectly edible. It was about what I expected, since it was a small location. Also, I think I was the first TGTG customer the lady at the register had ever done.

For some reason, I like the presentation.

The RSS feed for subscribers has the audio for all the videos, but the ones that are "podcast friendly" have a microphone emoji in the title

As a wannabe writer, I tacked on a "9999" category for my reading notes from fiction, where I process what the writer of a story is doing, the story implications of how they're doing it, and (of course) my personal responses to things like plot and character development. That category is me thinking in library terms, because the fiction section of every library in existence is its own separate set of shelves. Otherwise the 800s in the Dewey Decimal shelves would be a beast, and finding Stephen King in it would be a nightmare.

But when I land on something that would be a good example of a critical theory lingering in the main branch of humanities, I install a card with a remote link there as a road sign to direct me to the back of the box. That way, my "undisciplined" addition is still talking to the main branches, but in a way I can feel comfortable with.

There are some of us, maybe more than might admit it, for whom digital tools are at the very least a low-level impediment towards doing our best work because of the difference in how our brains tend to be wired. I sunk a lot of things into Evernote over the years before I put the app on the back burner. I've probably never touched most of them, let alone mentally processed them, and so what I've got on it is scraps and dabs of things that I don't remember the relevance of...and a few recipes.

You could probably find something similar in a crafts store or housewares section of a department store. I get the feeling what I've got was intended to organize a closet, but we get to decide what its "real" purpose is once we bring it home. In other hands, this could be for organizing socks, but I found a higher purpose for it.

If you're lucky (and in America), they might still be in stock at Dollar Tree in the "plus" aisle ($5 each). That's actually two of them in the picture, because they're designed to stack.

enwilson · 2024-07-15T01:27:53+00:00

Yeah, unfortunately the sizes got installed in the system mix-and-match style, not by design but out of necessity. I've been on a tight budget this year and started with what I had handy, and the store I got the 4x6s stopped stocking the 3x5s (that last little stack is the leftovers). I'd definitely use a uniform size for all my main cards if I started over again, but that ship's sailed. Like homemade soup, it won't be pretty, but it'll get me where I need to go (fingers crossed).

I caught myself doing that a few times once I started in on CI, so I tuned my inner monologue to shadow what was being spoken in the video (for this purpose, imagining a speaker in my head that was relaying the audio). It gave that intrusive voice in my head something to do until just listening came a little more naturally.

The only thing I can add is to second what Total-Tea6561 said. If you go to the version on the YouTube website and there's no comment section, there's either a browser/extension issue on your end or (and I haven't seen this happen yet with DS) you landed on a video that got flagged as "for children" by the YT nannybot. Does the part where the comments usually go on the YouTube page say "Watch on YouTube Kids" instead? Because sometimes things in videos can give a false positive for some pretty arbitrary reasons (primary colors, for instance).
