Re: 150+ Instagram Bio Ideas You Can Copy and Paste

courtney — Tue, 27 Nov 2018 13:18:51 -0000

They're testing a new kind of bio which is much shorter. One of my accounts has it and it cuts off all but the first 2 visible lines---both of which are now much shorter than before.

Re: Exclusive: Snapchat has a secret Seattle outpost — and you’ll never guess how we found it

courtney — Tue, 20 Oct 2015 13:52:01 -0000

The story wasn't about snapchat though. Their PR team wouldn't give you info so there was nothing about them. The story was about the kinda creepy lengths you'll go to make a story though.

Re: Mario fans blast PAX Omegathon finalists over lack of Mario skills

I've been fighting bowser for 25 years and I failed miserably at 2 of the test levels Nintendo had on the expo floor. One was a 10 second only level and the other was a hard underground level but they would appear easier than the omeganaut level. Nothing is normal in these levels and then having to do it being watched by 2500 people yelling at you...i'm not surprised they acted like they did.

Re: Jeff Bezos paying ‘Top Gear’ guy $250M to come aboard Amazon

Even though this was written so that it makes it seem you think he was very much overpaid $250M seems like it'd be a good price to secure what's been called (and put in the guinness world record book) repeatedly the most watched program worldwide.

Re: Alibaba IPO - Chinese E-Commerce Comes To The US

courtney — Mon, 17 Mar 2014 20:30:45 -0000

Alibaba is a huge problem for independent sellers because it's a clearinghouse for chinese knockoffs. Very frequently they even steal the pictures people use on Etsy and the like to sell products. It's not a site to get excited about.

Re: Geezerbook: Facebook sees 25% drop in teen accounts while senior citizens flock to network

courtney — Fri, 17 Jan 2014 20:19:10 -0000

I'm about to turn 30 and I want to leave facebook because the posts I'm getting now are nothing but missing teens and adoptable dogs. All the business/interests posts seem to not get displayed to me. I'd rather go somewhere where it's easier to get exposed to information outside of my network rather than having to wade through a bunch of prayer requests for a toddler with a cold to find updates that I'm interested in seeing.

I enjoyed him going around and just greeting people during Through the Wire. It seemed like an indulgent way of celebrating what that song is about.

He needs to learn though that you can't delay a show 2 hours when the city relies on bus service that dies after midnight. The place was half empty by the end. Also, with all the long breaks to move the set around I didn't understand where the show ended and the encore began. It made for a confusing end.

Re: Bettery debuts rechargeable battery swap stations at Whole Foods Markets

courtney — Thu, 04 Apr 2013 18:55:52 -0000

How many things do people use batteries in that when they run out of juice they can just pull the batteries, put them with their keys and wait until they have to run to Whole Foods again?

Re: Bettery debuts rechargeable battery swap stations at Whole Foods Markets

courtney — Thu, 04 Apr 2013 18:54:25 -0000

Their website states:

Buy batteries at any BETTERY Swap Station, at participating retail locations.

Take the batteries home, and use them until they are drained.

Swap the drained batteries at the BETTERY Swap Station for freshly tested and charged batteries – without the hassling with recharging at home.

Hey - I use my first name on Reddit. I feel safe with that because I hang out in places without so many trolls. but when you don't know where those areas are, why not hide out a bit.

You should also be free from trolls tracking down your every move and using your entire internet history against you.

I move that the term "flash mob" can't be used when it's organized by a company having anything to do with marketing.

Shit, I didn't realize Tumblr's only attribution for submitted posts was burying your name as the very last note. I've updated the submission page to ask for attributions as part of the submission. I can edit a link or anything to the post if you want.
