History and tradition. You mean like precedent? That thing you've been railroading for years?

We've investigated ourselves and found proof that we're awesome!

Good article. I think they hit on the real driving thought process behind the offer, and that's to divide any potential shorters on the opportunity to run the stock low.

For my part, good try Steve, but I'll pass on this 'opportunity'. The fediverse is my home now and I'll put in my efforts here.

The downvoters out here not getting the parable either xD

This right here. Because I suck at cooking I usually get 2-3 HelloFresh or other meal prep kits with recipes, then eat on them for dinner that night and lunch the next day. Pretty healthy to boot.

I believe they call that out in the article.. the parentheses look like a late addition though?

On Halloween 2006, just 16 months after they founded the company, Huffman and Ohanian sold Reddit to Condé Nast in a deal worth $10 million and agreed to stay on as leaders for at least three years. (Condé Nast, which is owned by Advance Magazine Publishers, is the publisher of WIRED). Condé viewed Reddit as a place to experiment and where the magazine company could build out new ideas online.

But by 2009, according to users, Reddit’s website was as bare-bones as before the sale. Ohanian and another person familiar with the corporate politics say the site’s growth was stymied by Condé Nast’s uncertain desires for the property and Ohanian’s self-­acknowledged mismanagement. Reddit was awash in half-baked pursuits—including a short-lived iPhone app, iReddit—and a path to sustainable revenue wasn’t yet evident. After the cofounders’ three-year contracts expired on Halloween 2009, Huffman and Ohanian left for new pursuits.

Slowe and the handful of other staffers left behind at Reddit—now contending with the fallout from a global recession—stumbled through experiments with selling ads and subscriptions. Neither Condé execs nor users were pleased. But they managed to keep the website alive. Anyone could now open a subreddit, and by January 2011, Reddit had 57,000 of them. That year the company began operating as a subsidiary of Condé Nast’s parent, Advance, which let it function more like a startup. (Advance still owns a roughly 30 percent stake.) Amid the changes, Ohanian came back via a seat on Reddit’s board.

If people don't just say no to this garbage, it will continue. Honestly I think I'm gonna go to an Audi dealership this weekend and crank the salesguys up before walking out on principle.

The former is more like a slow-growing cancer.

One that we can actually fight, I might add, and we should.

Without disparaging getting out there and playing things yourself for the much better, more personal experience; I can't say that I would eschew watching either, either? (Now that's a weird turn of phrase.)

Me fumbling about making a basket or a sniper shot is fun, but watching otherworldly skill inspires me to be better.

Er well in this article where they spoke with the pilot, he had this to say, "Jokat said the pilot came to the back of the plane once the plane landed.

"I asked him 'what happened?' and he said to me 'I lost my instrumentation briefly and then it just came back all of a sudden'."

So yeah, it is in fact looking like it may be something with the plane.

Yes, it's the plane being accelerated in a downward direction by something. Most of the time that's turbulence, but it appears there is more investigation ongoing here as the dip was much more severe than usual.

This is absolutely right. The worst case scenario in these situations is a settlement with no admission of fault.

Wow. Some of them are, but many simply can't afford more. Which is exactly the reason we need affordable, community-based housing; and what you said is literally the meaning behind the title.

Heheh you feel better now?

Guess you missed the word probably, but okay

That's very likely what happened. The problem is that the control board that manages communications is so old that nobody can find any documentation on how it works, so they can't even begin to figure out a fix.

Everyone involved with that project is also probably dead.
