Post by: elmore3003 on August 26, 2020, 07:17:48 AM: The bathroom is vacuumed, mopped and sealed off from cats for the next 90 minutes. Their litterbox now sits in the front hall space between the kitchen and bathroom. I'm veru happy I've finally done that. The last time was in March around the 14th, a week before the surgery was initially scheduled.

The editor, who thinks he's God's gift to musical theatre (shades of John McGlinn!), didn't do enough homework, but he has a couple of clunkers in his My Fair Lady book as well, since he knows too little about a show in previews.

I just succeeded in doing this. You need to download ClipGrab, which is free. Find the video on FB you want to save and click on it. When it comes up in a new window, drag the URL link to your ClipGrab icon. You will get a notice "Grab This Clip." Click on it and you're on your way. Thr video should download to your Download files.

Post by: Jrand74 on August 26, 2020, 03:06:46 PM: Another vote for ClipGrab. Now and then you get update notices, but they really do improve the interface.

I thought it downloaded things as MP3's - music files - but not video files......that's all I use it for.....to turn YT vids into MP3 files.

How do I save a video on Facebook to my laptop in a non-Facebook format?

Right-click on the Facebook video and click "Show video URL," and copy that. Then search the interwebs for "facebook online video downloader" and pick one of the several top online downloaders, paste the URL into the search box, then download...maybe. Some videos are private and can't be downloaded, but others sometimes don't work with every downloader website, so try several. Good luck!

I don't hate the look of it but I prefer the old. It could just be I am not big on change. Also it takes more steps to open things such as events and memories.

OMG I'm glad I missed that facebook discussion. Not sure if I could handle someone defending the President.

You can always go back and read the discussion ;)

I try to be respectful of other people's opinions and be thoughtful about their reasons. I don't need to agree at the end of the day.

Another vote for ClipGrab. Now and then you get update notices, but they really do improve the interface.

I thought it downloaded things as MP3's - music files - but not video files......that's all I use it for.....to turn YT vids into MP3 files.

I've always downloaded music from Youtube on ClipGrab and then converted the files to mp3 on online audio converter.
https://online-audio-converter.com

You can do the same thing by simply dragging the mp4s into iTunes and doing it there - no extra things needed and takes mere moments.

How do I save a video on Facebook to my laptop in a non-Facebook format?

I just succeeded in doing this. You need to download ClipGrab, which is free. Find the video on FB you want to save and click on it. When it comes up in a new window, drag the URL link to your ClipGrab icon. You will get a notice "Grab This Clip." Click on it and you're on your way. Thr video should download to your Download files.

I've never heard of ClipGrab. I'll have to try that out when I get home!

Of course you've heard about it because I've written about it here several times. It's reliable, easy, and great - I only occasionally save videos with it, mostly audio files.

And it doesn't seem as organized as the old one - everything seems to be right there and mushed up together as opposed to being in their own little corner of the world.

I am sure I will get used to it.....in time.

Post by: Jeanne on August 26, 2020, 07:49:02 PM: To answer DR Jennifer's question about how the US is dealing with schools, it depends on where you are. In California, the number of cases have dropped for the last two weeks, but I don't know if that's true in LA as well. There are some areas that are keen to reopen, but many teachers are opposed. When we reopened restaurants, the number of cases shot up, so they were closed again. (We're now allow outside dining only, plus take-out and delivery.) That scenario was repeated with many of the school reopenings throughout the country. I suspect that those areas that have low case counts, which are largely rural areas, will be able to reopen and stay open, but one superspreader event could change that.
