That should mean that all other blogs have a similar increase in views, but some may not notice if the real number of viewers is larger than the index views. Or it was just my blog that got indexable those days for some reason... | ||

It's hard for any Youtube videos to get over a million viewers / make significant revenue. However, would it be feasible to 'aim' for your videos to get about 5 digit viewers, and make small money, and then make a bunch of channels like these and collect revenue from these adding up? Are Youtube videos one-time payment for you, or does Youtube keep paying you as long as you have a popular video? | ||

She is a wonderful and well trained dog, but is she too old to be pulling me on a longboard for long distances? I'm 225 and she is 70lbs and has a high quality sled harness. Currently I kick a lot and we don't go to far since I'm being careful. If by long distances you mean a block probably no harm, probably not a good idea for commuting. | ||

I'm wondering what the currency exchange rate of one wife is to huskies. | ||

A friend commented on one of these posts with 50k comments, I got the notification, but there is no way I can find the comment, as it was a few hours ago, and I don't feel like scrolling through 50k comments for it. Is there a way to find the link to the comment, or is it lost forever in the mists of the FB database? I'm at most moderately interested in the comment, but I'd be a bit surprised if there is no way for me to find the comment. | ||

I can't understand jobs without a sense of progress. If you write a book, you have some sort of goal. Serving ice-cream, on the other hand, is just a repetitive task. How do you not get bored to death after 3 months doing it? To me it feels like the equivalent of opening and closing a door. After 5 minutes it feels like an eternity but you still have 7 hours 55 to go. I will never understand this | ||

I'm at most moderately interested in the comment, but I'd be a bit surprised if there is no way for me to find the comment. Usually, it's the first or last comment visible in the subset of comments shown to you when you click the notification at the time you were notified. Unfortunately, if it's getting non-stop comments, then your friend's comment will surely no longer be first or last anymore, and may get swallowed and lost. The comments are almost always in chronological order though, so if you saw that he posted the comment at 10:30 PM last night, you can keep opening up/ scanning through the list of comments until you find the comments posted around that time. His comment should be there. | ||

I will never understand this Presumably, the people who wish to serve ice cream for a living also feel that they're fulfilling some sort of important job or goal, possibly just to make customers smile with the occasional delicious treat? Everyone has their own reasons for doing a job; sometimes it's just to pay the bills, sometimes it's because it's the only thing available, sometimes it's because the work environment is pretty laid back or fun or respectful, sometimes it's because the content of the job is desirable to them in some way, sometimes it's a mix of these, etc. My younger brother used to work at a Coldstone ice creamery. He liked being able to chat with customers in a relaxed environment, he got to play pretty much whatever background music he wanted, he liked seeing the smiles on his customers' faces when they got their ice cream, he got free ice cream, and it was a relatively simple first job for him back in high school. It wasn't the main passion or objective for his life, but it was pretty easy to justify why he liked it there. | ||

I will never understand this And that is, presumably, one of the reasons driving you to get a PhD, rather than serving ice cream. Having also worked summer (and weekend) jobs ranging from factory production lines to selling sandwiches, I can say that selling ice cream probably isn't that bad. I quite enjoyed the sandwich job. The sociability of it was quite fun. The days when I had to man the shitty little cart in the non-busy part of the station were the worst. Even that was better than production lines. Judging by my colleagues, they were pretty much all there for the same reason: it was a decent paying job. Nobody, also not the full time employees, were passionate about their work, but it did put food on the table (or in my case, pay for my hobbies). | ||

I will never understand this To be honest, most people do get bored at work. Even if you have some goal in sight, you can get bored of writing the same chapter over and over, crossreading can be tedious, ... The goal is what drives you to work despite the boredom, but the difficult part is that an intellectual task forces you to concentrate on what is actually boring to you. On a repetitive manual task, you have an advantage: at some point serving is just what your body does and you have free time to let your mind wander wherever you like. If you are free to think about anything, try to select another topic than how boring the task at hand is. | ||
