I don't blink when a three or four hour pod comes through my feed. I listen to about 200 podcasts. My average listening speed is 2.5x. So that turns a 4 hour podcast into a 1.6 hour podcast. Very doable. Then if I decide I've had enough of an episode for now but still want to listen to the rest I can simply start another pod episode. And here is the thing that is different from other media: I can go right back to where I paused without having to hunt for it. My queue isn't bloated with platform recommendations. I don't have to type in anything to find the paused episode. It's just sitting there in my queue waiting for me. When I do hit play it won't make me listen to an ad before it restarts.
But other than Dan Carlin or Dan Cummings I don't see a lot of pods going past the two hour mark. And they totally make it worth it because they are covering one topic in depth. Most pods break things up into different aspects of a topic for digestability, I'm thinking of Planet Money making a T-shirt). But Dan is a captivating story teller. And Dan is fractalizing the current story and the background of how we got here. So it makes sense that it's all in one package.
If you're entire brand is built around people sitting down and doing the work of creating something the worst possible thing you can do is tell people they can take the shortcut of not doing the work. This destroys the brand.
Can't wait to find out how much life insurance the company gets paid because of the policy they took out on their employee without the employee's consent or knowledge.
Maybe use the recommended amount instead of twice as much? If the recommendation is 7 PPM then maybe there is a reason they didn't recommend 14 PPM?
Manhole cover.
That's a lie. It's been two decades.
I can't wait for the people that say "if government steps down people will step up" and constantly defend billionaires to tell us how bad this is.
I could use a brighter screen. I have a pixel 6 and the thing is barely visible in the South Carolina Sun which matters when you're playing Pokémon Go.
You focused on that and completely ignored her jewelry hoard horad with that weighed millions of pounds? Like she was a dragon.
You forgot the time Axl Rose stormed off stage because someone was filming. A riot resulted. They're trying to stop the
I would love if modern social media offered a filter score file like slrn had.
The sentence before this refers to nonpregnant people. Which is everyone on earth, male or female, that isn't pregnant.so maybe you should not be so fragile that it overrides your ability to read for content and context instead of political agenda.
This is another attempt to get subsides for private companies. The government starts pumping money into the stock market creating both more government debt and more corporate profits. And of course some people will make some nice commissions managing these.
You all know Burning Man is a libertarian paradise with no laws as each person going Galt and being self sufficient for a few days, right?
The national guard has been called in. All these libertarians are now getting assistance from the federal government.
