    @NBadger, you were merely a victim of an odd explanation of NS(F)W spoilers and follow-up replies even if said NS(F)W spoiler was self-induced for irrelevant content.

    Apparently according to the example I guess I should apologize in advance if I should ever visit the forum in such a state to forgo all common decency and fully recognize that the HR department will get involved. I say this since apparently virtually tea-bagging the water cooler is against company policy and I will be summarily executed for said infraction with no chance for appeal.

    True, considering the executions were about the only highlight in a somewhat demeaning career.

    Is there a better alternative to Hit Database? I don't like how it scrapes everything every time you update and it scrapes too quickly so it pres.

    AFAIK, there is not. You could go back to HIT DB legacy instead of Mk II but I'm not sure if you could import your db backup into legacy. The update process will use cause less PREs but will be slower because the PRs are slower. It's kinda buggy overall. I'd stick with Mk II and update once or twice per week. Frequency is still more than enough to catch all approvals/rejections.

    Alternatively if you just want to update 1 day, kada posted a snippet for that:
    https://turkerhub.com/posts/102396/

    Can turn it into a bookmarklet for the current day I assume if you're desperate to just always have "today's" available to update.

    Otherwise yeah.. 1x/day or week at night is pretty mindless to setup.

    He just missed the 11:30 shuttle out, so now I have to pick him up around 2:15 am.

    Is this what love is? Picking up your SO in the middle of the night because he misses all the things and instead of hopping off the shuttle at 8:30 pm, a normal human time, he needs you to retrieve him from a random Ingles parking lot in a shady part of town 30 minutes away?

    Great.

    How do you get far enough to know the name of the band, and the title of the song, but not what the band looks like before you upload a video? That's an image of The Pretenders, not The Proclaimers.

    By typing "I would walk 500 miles" into google and copy/pasting the first link.

    Don't blame me, blame whoever marked "this video is representative of artist/track" on their YTA.

    I'm not blaming you, I just have no idea how the uploader would've made that mistake. Especially if they were old enough to remember it being a current single- the band was led by a set of male twins with a particular look.
    The Proclaimers:

    The Pretenders:


    EDIT: Guess they didn't get the title of the song right. I am deeply disturbed now.

    Blonde-ish gingerish looking bros with giant coke bottle glasses? Was that the particular look you were referencing?
