I talked to Dakmar while we were carrying on on 4um Saturday night. Dak told me that my videos were starting in the middle rather than at the beginning. I told him that I wasn't using the "start at [time]" feature when I copied and pasted the "embed" code and didn't figure out what was going on until this morning. I had 'company' with me Saturday night and we were PWI (posting while intoxicated).
It was still doing it this morning so I went back in "edit" and looked at the embed code. Apparently there was a ...&start=38" being inserted in the code for some reason. I went back and looked at all the videos that I could edit and replaced the 38 with 0 and that fixed the issue. I can't edit original posts so they're still screwed up, only posts within threads can be edited.
I'm not sure if it was a EweToob issue or a glitch with my browser. I wouldn't think that a random code could be inserted in every copy and paste at my end by my browser, but I don't know that much about computers. I restarted my computer a little bit ago and that seems to have corrected the issue for now.

Sorry for the issue, I hope I didn't piss anybody off too badly. I'll try to keep a lookout for that in the future.

Ping!

Is it even possible for my computer to do that? It usually never gets shutdown except when it shuts itself off during a high CPU temperature event. I typically just let it go into the sleep mode when I'm not in my office.

I had noticed your YT posts doing that but didn't think it important enough to raise cane over as it's an easy thing to reset. I had assumed you were just in the habit of checking the box for an alternate start time when copying the embed code, maybe not realizing what it does. But again, no big deal at all.

Very seldom do I check the start at box unless it's for something like this:

Yes, the bar just opened. I just got my chores done, switching around my lawnmower and snow blower. Gak!

I just rechecked the thing after posting that above video with a start time. It's being saved somewhere, I'm thinking EweToob. Closing the 4um and EweToob tabs and reopening them seems to clear it. I wonder how long that's been going on?
(Edit) I don't know squat about computers and don't really want to know, but if you see something odd, feel free to ping me. I'm glad Dak let me know.

Yes, I am indeed fully prepared to handle all the snow that's expected this year, and in fact, many times more!

Always best to be prepared. I knew if I didn't get mine staged, I'd be stuck. With it ready to go, I probably won't need it. I hope, I hope, I hope, I hope.

I noticed many of the YT clips Esso posted started in the middle, or even at the end. I know there is an "embed from current time" menu option, and figured Esso didn't notice. I wasn't trying to be a know-it-all scold. :)

I agree. I have emergency food and water here. The only hang up is getting my meds. As long as the grid stays up, we are in like flint. ;)

snow blower

When I was a kid in Chicago, in winter I shoveled the neighbor's sidewalk. She gave me a 50 cent piece. Sure wish I had put that back. ;)

There was an elderly lady across the street from me where I grew up (early 1980s, Kokomo IN), I shoveled her driveway on a regular basis. Sometimes she would pay me, sometimes not, but it just seemed like the right thing to do. Nowadays my spic neighbors get incensed if I ask them not to dump trash in my yard.

I didn't notice that if I use that option, which I seldom do, that it was staying that way. For some reason now EweToob was saving the start time code and subsequently putting it in all the following embeds. That's something new on their end.
The only way to clear it is to close the EweToob tab and re-open it. When I post a video now, I'll play a couple seconds in preview to make sure it's starting at zero or where I want it to.

It's actually "Copy video URL at Current Time" vs "Copy Embed Code", so I have no idea what the glitch was. Your audience would only see a link to URL, but Embed shows a video ready to play. I conflated URL with Embed - there is no Embed At Current Time. I'm a dumbass, but I swear many/most of the vids you post start in the middle :)
When I do stupid shit at work there is always someone there to tell me what I fucked up. :)

I'm a double dumbass when it comes to computers. EweToob's been jerking shit around lately. I know what to look for now.

I go off on tangents, but they always have a beginning.
