I remember hearing an interview with him many years ago, and he shared a story about the shenanigans he got up to as a kid... he was into phone phreaking (used to be you could control the entire phone system by playing specific tones into any phone) and reprogrammed the phone system to think his friend's home phone was a pay phone. His friend's mom would try to call someone and the phone would ask her to deposit 20c. She was furious, and sent her son over to demand he fix it immediately.

I always thought that was one of the best pranks ever. RIP to a legend.

It belongs to a friend who needs glasses but doesn't like wearing them. She thought she bought honey until she tasted it.

It seems crazy to me that currently it takes just 50%+1 to change the state constitution. That being said, fast-tracking a special election to raise the threshold to 60% before an amendment polling at 59% goes to the vote is the worst kind of anti-democratic behavior. They're trying to change the rules halfway through the attempt.

After escaping from a mental institution in 1945, he went into business

That explains the bottles.

Seriously though, glad he got out. His ramblings were coming from a good heart and his soap is legendary.

I want to see how many people have less than 10 or 15 sec watch time... like how many "video views" are just the video autoplaying in someone's feed as they scroll by?

3.8 mil "video views" is still more than the 3.3 mil viewers he got on Fox, but >2 sec is such a trash metric that I really have no idea how many people are actually watching.

I suspect it has to do with legal compliance. Only available in US = only needing to comply with US law.

Threads is looking into adding an alternative home feed, of only posts, in chronological order, from the people each individual user follows

I'm so confused as to why this (or something resembling this) isn't default behavior.
