66. I have that same problem with Youtube lately.

Jan 2015

It has only been that way for the past few months. I used to be able to watch Youtube videos without a problem. I have noticed that if I avoid going on Youtube between about 3:00 pm EST and midnight EST, the videos will run more smoothly. If I go during those times, though, it is almost impossible even after it bumps my quality down to 240p with Auto checked. I prefer the more high def version of anything. So, I usually end up just downloading the videos. The thing that gets me is how much faster downloading the video really is, faster than even watching it. The buffering on Youtube is atrocious for me.

If we reform the police so they wait in their car, use the speaker to make the people get out... Sunlei Jan 2015 #30

Then you will have a lot more police killed in their cars. oneshooter Jan 2015 #38

Why would you say something like that? Sunlei Jan 2015 #39

Because your idea makes the police a sitting target. n/t oneshooter Jan 2015 #42
