I get it, but like I said, that's ephemeral. Compare that to say Meta or alphabet with YouTube. They have distinct advantages in serving their content that prevents them from completely losing out. Then you've got Reddit, who pays hosts that could decide themselves to spin up a competing service pretty quickly and already isn't profitable due to those harsh hosting costs and isn't particularly stand out in its advertising business compared to those two.

These valuations on companies that use cloud hosting for delivering video like reddit does is fucking imaginary. Reddit does not have enough of it's own infrastructure to justify a $15 billion valuation. It's ephemeral in the end.

He should get it over with and call no confidence on his own government.

Nurses in white dresses…

You can still find that in some pinning ceremonies, particularly in the South. Putting my bearded Shrek ass into one would've been amusing. The white scrubs and shoes alone they put me in were funny enough.

Lol. One was a fugitive and the other two were out on bail with the condition that they don't associate with the fugitive. Then one misses a hearing and all three get nabbed together. There goes that bail. Idiots.

It's a design that can reduce pressure injuries compared to a rigid exoskeleton, since it seems to operate with straps attached to powered reels instead of metal. Those anchor points, however, still will very likely cause pressure injuries if worn too long. I also don't think I would call something using fabric straps an "exoskeleton."

Also, the man's gait who's using the suit is still FAR from something I'd call steady. He'd still need a walker.

Oh they actually talked to each other and weren't forced to direct their questions to the chair?

Essentially for both it's hormone overload. They've got a gland behind their eyes that puts them into reproduction mode and once it turns on it never turns off until it kills them. They stop eating and eventually go crazy.

Males put enough effort into it that they die shortly after mating, and your stingy ass won't even go down on your girl.

That's an interesting district. It's was one of our fine examples of Maryland Democratic gerrymandering and the incumbent just got removed from living in it after campaigning to nationally address gerrymandering, so he retired.
