  Managed Service Provider, for those curious.

  That’s totally fair. Nebula has been a good place for me to find distilled content from the creators I really care about. Hard to argue in Google’s defence lately. They bought it early so who knows what it might been if it stayed independent.

  Oh yeah. It’s weird being old enough to remember a time before youtube and I’m still pretty young. My (much) older sister and I would AIM chat and email all the time. We had ytmnd.com and stupidvideos.com, but it turned out people would rather take the ease of video sharing whatever rather than the pseudo video dating they were trying and the founders recognized the greater potential.

  I remember when the site first went public, even early on it was so much better than the others. Even with all the problems I’ll always love YT.

  A roll of biscuits and the can is pressurized. The instructions say to peel the label then jam a spoon or something into the middle seam to make it pop open. It is quite a little bang.

  I’m guessing this is about perceived performance issues, potential or realized. But I’m not sure at all. I’ve never dealt with something like this. Only a few places I’ve worked have even had a proper HR department.
