CBS News:
>A lot of us have snowboarded or skied. Just imagine going as fast as you go down a mountain and then imagine hitting some ice, maybe some moguls. And then imagine an avalanche coming down after you. Then imagine not trying to run away from it, trying to stay as close as possible to it the whole time. And– and have it ch– chasing you and now the mountain’s moving and– and not just the avalanche, but the whole mountain is moving. That’s what it’s like riding these giant waves.
I’ll be in Lisbon, Portugal teaching a beginner photography workshop in March and I’m really hoping to get out to Nazaré to see these incredible waves. The men who surf them are utterly insane.
Any chance we can kill that f*cking video?
Every time I load the page…
Interesting (and understandably infuriating). What browser are you using? In Chrome, I have to click on the video to get it to play.
G’day Shawn,
Firefox. Just cecked with Safari, it does it there too.
Weird. I just checked with Safari and it *doesn’t* autoplay. Could be a setting on your (my?) end.
I hardly ever use Safari, and about the only thing I’ve done to it is install Adblock. So it’s my end. Thanks for looking into it mate.
Same here, autoplay on both Firefox and Safari, and while reading today´s new posts the page scrolling became sticky as hell, with a delay before the actual scrolling took effect. I was on the verge of restarting FF for a moment. And when I heard the sound of the video I realised that it wasn’t the fault of the browser.
I’m still on Sierra but FF is up to date.
No problem. I think anyone who codes autoplaying videos should be punished by death so I’m happy to help. 🙂
Here’s another complaint. I use Firefox on Mac OS and this video autoplays every single time.
