While I was editing my First Man movie review video last night, YouTube went offline worldwide. According to this video, YouTube shut down to purge a video of something hitting the Moon. The Chinese, anyone?
My parents paid for my Sprint phone card for five years and cellphone bill for five years after college. The catch being that I had to call my mother every night to talk to her. After she passed away from breast cancer in 2004, my father put the Sprint account in my name and I was able to change the Caller ID from Shirley to Chris.
assembled the report at the behest of the US Congress, which asked in a 2017 law that a "strategy for astrobiology" be developed to prioritize "the search for life's origin, evolution, distribution, and future in the universe."
I guess no one read the law after passing it to notice this little gem. Who wants to bet that the report will go straight to the recycling bin by the current Congress?
Why do you always mash your lips together after each sentence?
I'm waiting for the teleprompter to scroll up the next sentence. If I maintain a neutral face beween sentences or multiple retakes of a particular sentence, I'll have easier time aligning the jump cuts in the video editor.
Which news story of the last 20 years inspired your video of a water fountain?
No news story for that video. I took a bus from Eastridge Mall to downtown San Jose, noticed the new water fountain at San Jose City Hall when the bus drove past it, got off the bus and recorded video. The water fountain wasn't there in 2014 when I went to city hall to save the Century 21 from demolition.
Or kids milling around an Apple store?
The Apple Park Visitor Center was a brand new Apple Store last year. Because it was located on the backside of the Apple Park campus and among other April corporate buildings, it was the least crowded Apple Store on Black Friday. That won't be true this Black Friday. Especially since iJustine did a video visiting the Apple Stores at Infinite Loop and Apple Park.
And how much of this is actually useful in your life
I was always a news junkie. As a teenager in the 1980's, I had subscriptions to Newsweek and Time Magazine, and read The Wall Street Journal at the library. Many news stories were inspiration for my blog posts over the last 20 years and videos in the past year.
Other then getting you pissed off at the other guy.
What other guy? Also, I'm not a big fan of fake rage on the Internet.
I've read a half-dozen political and news websites every day. I have paid subscriptions for the The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal. When I was more into tech and video games, I used to have RSS loaded with dozens of websites.
You even brag about saving your father life with a single vote because you voted for a given governor!
Too bad you didn't watch my video. You might have learned something. I didn't "vote for a given governor!" I voted for Proposition 99 in 1988. A cigarette tax that forced my father to quit smoking because he didn't want to pay $2 per pack. Californian smokers pay $8+ per pack today. Because he quit smoking after 34 years, he died at 75 instead of 60 as his older brothers did. What's ironic is that my father and uncles smuggled untaxed cigarettes from Oregon to Southern California and sold cartons from the trunk of their car to construction workers in Los Angeles after World War II.
Actually, you need 50,000+ monthly views on one social media platform platform, say, YouTube, and 1,000+ subscribers on at least one other social media platform, say, Twitter, for Silicon Valley Comic Con, which incidentally has 70K in attendees over three days. Heroes & Villains San Jose has 16K attendees over two days.
Keep in mind that it takes five years to build an audience on YouTube. I just got started ten months ago. I'll have my 100th video done in two months to celebrate my one-year anniversary. Everyone knows that the first 100 videos sucks donkey balls.
As for my government IT job, several of my co-workers are on their fourth or fifth five-year contract. My management team are in their 60's and 70's. Yes, IT is in a flux. That's why I enjoy the work. Every day is different. I've done it for 20 years, I can do it for another 20 years.
You're missing the point - you're not making money, and releasing audio recordings can't be an enjoyable activity. So why bother putting so much effort into it?
I love comic cons and attending panels. I went to Silicon Valley Comic Con, WorldCon 76, ToyXpo 2018. I'm going to Heroes & Villains 2018 in December. I'm planning to go to SpaceFest 2019 in Arizona for the 50th anniversary of Apollo 11 and my 50th birthday. After I established my audience on YouTube, I will qualify for media passes to these events.
A 50 year old man with no retirement savings
That statement has two lies. I'll let you figure out which is which.
an inherently unstable career
I'm 4.5 years into a five-year contract and the five-year extension is on deck. As the recruiter told me when I accepted the job, government IT is a life long commitment.
surely has better things to do with his time?
I'm doing what I enjoy doing. You don't make 70 videos in ten months unless you enjoy writing scripts, putting yourself out there and putting up with bullshit trolls.
Wow, I had no idea what social blade was because Iâ(TM)m not a teenager so really who gives a fuck about that kind of stuff.
I very much doubt that the kiddies who follow Jake and Logan Paul know what Social Blade is. The people who find Social Blade useful are critics.
I saw the estimate that you earned $.75-$12 per hour last month - pretty impressive!
No it isn't. The majority of YouTubers no longer qualify for ad revenues under the new requirements (1K+ subscribers and 4K watch time in 12 months). Social Blade's estimates are nortiously inaccurate.
True itâ(TM)s basically no money, but perhaps youâ(TM)re having some kind of fun uploading audio from fan conventions? Is that like an autism thing?
Silicon Valley Comic Con 2018 banned video recording. So I recorded audio instead. Recording video can be a PITA. For people who want information, audio works just as well as video.
I owned a LG Rumor Touch that was a "smart" phone that had an annoying habit: if I kept it in my back pocket, a butt swipe would call the last person I called. Most of the time that was my boss when I worked on a PC refresh project at eBay and spent most of my time under people's desks.
Ryzen doesn't perform that well with fully populated memory DIMMs, two modules is optimal.
I haven't read that before. What I like about Ryzen memory specs is that it can run in single channel mode with a single DIMM. Instead of buying a pair of 8GB DIMMs you can buy one 16GB DIMM. Intel memory specs doesn't mention single channel mode with one DIMM (it should work). I'm specing out a new PC build and leaning towards Ryzen for the most bang per buck.
Fish can be medically treated. Not sure about salmon. Tropical fish can be treated for some ailments by turning up the heater a bit and adding some aquarium salt. Medicine is available for treating ick and other parasites.
Hmmm... actually, isn't the labor market tightening?
The most reliable indicator of the labor market that I've found in Silicon Valley is discarded lottery scratchers in the parking lot of convenience stores. After the Great Recession was officially over, I've picked up hundreds of discarded scratchers to enter into the Second Chance drawing. For the last several years I've been able to find a half-dozen discarded scratchers each month. I haven't found any discarded scratchers in the last six months. People are too busy working to play lotto scratchers.

Wait a minute... I have mod points?!
I remember a show in the 1960's of a guy calling on his shoe!

So you did not know how to put a lock on the start screen?
I don't believe that was an option on the LG Rumor Touch. When I replaced it with an iPhone, I never had that problem again.
That's my Christmas bonus after taxes. I get one every year. Not that I'm bragging. :p

still promoting your channel
I'm promoting the fact that the Social Blade profile my YouTube channel is trending. Why is it trending?
This Social Blade profile is visited by a moderate amount of users!
Who promotes my Social Blade profile more than I do? Slashdot pastebin addicts!
You need to stop and think about the value of your post vs the value of saying nothing.
I only do that on Reddit. ;)

So Snapchat is to Instagram as Slashdot is to Reddit?
FTFY - Digg, seriously?
SnapChat should have pulled a Verge and blamed racism for their problems.
