For some reason I was back in Chrome today, and I searched Google, without meaning to, for: **get channel id for a youtube channel** Here's what I got: --- > ✨ AI Overview > Learn more > … > To find a YouTube channel's ID, you can: > **Use the YouTube account settings** > Sign in to YouTube, select your profile picture, then Settings, and then Advanced settings.

The handle will appear at the end of the link, preceded by the @ sign. ? That is not the channel ID. > Use the page source code > View the page source code of any video from the channel, and look for the "channelid" keyword. I felt a little stingy at this point, because this sounds like a real solution. I opened the source for the channel page, and searched the source code for `channelid`, and found nothing. Then, while typing this complaint, I noticed that I was supposed to do that from a random video's page, so I opened one of the videos, did that, and found nothing. > A YouTube channel can have multiple URLs that direct viewers to the channel homepage.

It started about a week ago. I noticed a sticky feeling on my hands so I washed them (as I do regularly). Unfortunately it wasn't long before the feeling came back. I've started noticing it on everything I frequently touch - mouse/keyboard, Xbox controller, phone, on and on. I tried household cleaner, rubbing alcohol, water/soap on these surfaces and it seems to help for a short while, but it comes back within hours. Just now I gave my phone a good wipe with soapy water and as soon as it dried it feels sticky again. I'm not sure what else to try or how to get rid of it. Possible culprits I can guess at: -pollen? the cars around here have been covered in greenish yellow powder which I have seen before, but never experienced this stickyness. I don't use my car / touch the door handles very often. -some sort of plastic or rubber is degrading, maybe my phone case? It's an Otterbox that's over 6 years old. -a little weed container I bought around the same time this started, maybe the store had vape juice spilled on it? But I don't touch it often enough to warrant the spread of this profound stickyness. Any ideas are welcome. It's driving me nuts.

Pretty much every major shopping website has terrible search functionality. I usually want something very specific, for example `60w dimmable e12 frosted warm led bulb`. I have not found a single shopping website that won't show me results without many of these terms in the description. I don't want to see listings that say `40w` and don't say `60w` anywhere, and it isn't hard to filter them out! Are these shopping websites bad on purpose? What's in it for them?

We pay to go to a live show. The crowd is excited to see the artist. You can feel it in the air. They appear on stage, plug in, start with a quiet but heartfelt acoustic number. And 600 people keep their conversations going. What. The. Hell. People? Between songs, the artist makes polite but vague statements about how even with the PA, he can't compete with all that noise. They keep talking. Grrrrrrr...

So as you can see in the picture, I threw a party last year. AEW is a pro wrestling company, much like WWE. They had this big outdoor show at Wembley Stadium in London. Sold something like 80,000 tickets. We watched live on PPV. It's the first time I ever threw a wrestling watch party. I invited 4 people. I bought cheese, soft pretzels, bought chips/queso. I had vodka, whiskey, beer, and 3 different THC vape pens along with edible gummies. I also had coke (the soda), barqs root beer, and one of the special novelty mountain dew flavors. I cooked chicken, and cut the cheese into cubes with individual toothpicks. I got out my good plates. And used the projector to make the screen 90 inches. Only 2 people showed up. Nobody ate hardly anything. Nobody drank anything. Hardly anything was said. This picture was taken AFTER the party. We went through 1 bag of chips, and 1 1/2 jars of queso. I literally could have just bought 1 bag of chips, 2 jars of queso, and saved $100 and 2 days of prep work. I even had 2 different styles of BBQ sauce for the chicken. Yes, it's a year later, and I'm still mildly infuriated over it!

It also asks me to use the app. I was trying to look up the company where I was thinking of applying, but it said I needed to sign in to view the review, so I entered some fake information. Once I was signed in I went back to the page thinking I could read the review, but now I need to write a review before I get access to Glassdoor!

Seriously people, use the fucking fan. It clears away odors and covers up the sounds of your dropping a deuce. If you want to stew in your shit smell and revel in the music of your magical poop plops, do so in the comfort of your own home. If you're a guest and the bathroom has a fan, turn it on. We don't want to share.

An artist who goes by @tofu_rabbit on X says that the look of Nerf’s Ace of Spades handgun from Bungie's Destiny games came from a commissioned artwork they drew almost a decade ago. Nerf and Bungie unveiled its newest foam dart gun collaboration on Tuesday featuring a limited edition version of Cayde-6’s iconic “Ace of Spades” blaster from Destiny 2 that is available for purchase on Bungie’s online store. The following morning, @tofu_rabbit posted images comparing Nerf’s newest foam dart launcher to a piece of art they made in 2015 and posted on their DeviantArt page based on the same gun from the game. ![](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/00654bba-e8c7-431a-8fea-12b74b1f88cf.png) Addition: *[Artists image](https://www.deviantart.com/tofurabbit/art/Ace-of-Spades-573764211) (from link in article):* ![](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/837975be-795b-460b-bbbd-7c0fa8eed2d8.png)

I don't see how this is legal, but people on Tik Tok peddling miracle "medicine" are becoming more common every day. No FDA approval, no research. Just their marketing hype and false promises. This one, lady is showing some sort of probiotic and claiming it can help people suffering from severe acid reflux and gastrointestinal reflux disease or GERD, replacing medicine that has been tested for decades.

I asked this company to close and delete my account, and they replied that they have closed it. They use a type of ticket system where you need to log in to their site to see replies. I wanted to reply, to ask if they also have deleted my data, instead of just closing the account. In order to contact them, they will create a new account SMH ![](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/ae943540-99f6-4394-9854-13652a8337f1.png)

They clearly show wear. ![](https://i.imgur.com/xFLLwoj.jpeg) I am not sure if they were replaced from another older device, or the entire cover is from L390, but that one would have a plastic cover for where this one has a stylus. It doesn't seem like anything was snapped out of there. I couldn't find replacement ones online, and I am not sure if contacting the shop is a good idea. See, the L390 Yoga has a touchscreen with better colors and seems to be a bit more expensive (but not much). However, I bought this as "L390". I noticed the description said "Touchscreen: yes", which I realized meant they likely mistook the Yoga version for the base version. Indeed, that is the case. Currently they have one L390 Yoga in similar condition and same configuration, but the screen has some white spots (this one is flawless), ...and it's €46 more expensive. If you're curious, i5 8365U, 16GB RAM (single-channel), used 256GB Samsung SSD (I don't remember if SATA or NVME), €180 and 2 year warranty. Also, if you're wondering what that port with network symbol is, it appears to be a proprietary connector used on ThinkPads requiring an "Ethernet Extension" adapter to be usable.

The game is Word Cookies by Bitmango. I contacted them but haven’t heard back. I’m guessing it was just an oversight, but it still pissed me off.

Beginning to have thoughts now on just donating away my stream sticks and use my TV in the living room as a back up incase the one I have in my bedroom dies. I got into streaming sticks about a few months ago, I have an ONN brand one and Amazon one that's 4k. And I know the appeal of them and the appeal is nice. It makes you feel like you're watching cable television without subscribing to an overpriced cable subscription. It was nice. It was nice until everytime I go to have some sit down time in the living room than my bedroom to watch something there, I turn on the ONN stick, I try watching a single YouTube video. 30 second ad. Skipped it. 4 minutes into the video - another ad. And this will happen the longer the video is where it's just ad, ad, ad. Between the two, only the ONN stick has a chance of being rooted but I'm not sure I want to risk bricking or ruining it. The Amazon one cannot be rooted which is a shame. So yeah, not really digging stream sticks as much as I like because of this. I immediately went back to my bedroom to watch on the PC since I have adblock.
