The video length was pretty limiting, though. Instagram at the time started doing 15 second videos. The six seconds lent itself to goofy comedy and not much more.

It seems like they should have sold it. Or just jammed in a bunch of ads… maybe an option to remove ads with a paid membership. Simply killing it doesn’t make any money other than to avoid losing more, and they’d already invested a fair bit which you can’t recoup by just closing something. Of course, Google does that all the time I guess.

Twitter clearly mishandled it. All they needed to do was give the option to post longer videos. Classic example of a large company buying a small innovative service and destroying it for no reason. I assume they thought it was too similar and in competition with Twit’s existing ability to post videos.

There’s an $18 minimum wage in Denver, for instance. Republicans sure as hell didn’t vote for that.

I doubt that Bush Sr would be bothered by that as much as I doubt that GWB ever planned more than a barbecue in his entire life.

A terminal is a physical device like a VT100. When people refer to a terminal today it’s almost always a terminal emulator running on a TTY, ssh on a PTY, a login shell or a GUI program.

Reddit claims they didn’t and don’t have to.

There is no “ackshully” and he didn’t call anyone a liar. He just said a statement was incorrect.

It’s a beet.

Sometimes they even just repost something they found on the internet

Yeah, where I used to live up north, even very remote lakes were poisoned with mercury said to be from coal burning in China. People were advised to not eat fish from the lake more than a few times a week or once a week for certain fish. So… tons of people just ignore that or don’t even know about it because they either don’t really understand or believe it, have poor information sources, enjoy the experience, or it’s all they can afford.

I know a fair amount of girls from Minnesota and Oregon who would like that because they’re into fishing themselves. They grew up fishing with their fathers.

It’s more a “I’m a manly dude who is good at catching fish! I enjoy leisure time on lakes and I have a boat!” than a promise that they’ll eat the fish. At least half the time it’s catch and release fishing anyway.

“Axis of evil” was a GWB and Cheney thing. I don’t think Obama ever used the term.

It’s taken me decades to figure this out

Just need to say it was “bull caca” like a polite word for BS.

It would probably ruin them and their work though. While I have little sympathy for the plights of billionaires, it’s difficult for people to not allow that level of ridiculous wealth and power to affect them. These people have found a much healthier path to success. I’m sure the living ones are all financially comfortable without the ridiculous distortion of excess wealth.

Also though I’d object to anyone being a billionaire since it’s absurd.

I’m not Australian.

The Australian pronunciation works… “squi-rell”. Common American one is somehow just one syllable, “Skwurl”
