Context collapse and aesthetic arrest.
Yum there are wonderful minds in our borg mesh.

Thanks michael.

I started watching it to see what it was  about and ended up watching the full 55 minutes.


which leads me to a comment and a question.

Comment:  a work colleague   told me a while ago that he knows a middle aged couple that  quite often  will switch off the TV and spend the evening watching you tube vids.

Question: how do you  get  a 55 minute You tube video up? I thought the limits were 100
Mb or 10minutes?


how  short-sighted  our institutions are to ban access to  things like you tube.

Maybe this is the answer:

Can I upload videos that are longer than 10 minutes?

You can no longer upload videos longer than ten minutes regardless of what type of account you have. Users who had previously been allowed to upload longer content still retain this ability, so you may occasionally see videos that are longer than ten minutes.
