That's still most likely, but the sign in the middle of the frame makes it look like it is saying "no left turns", but the other signage makes it seem like it is a one way street going the from right to left.

It honestly gets more confusing the more I notice.

Digg failed fast due to people already using reddit. Many users had an account on each by the point of the big update. Enough were giving up on Digg for earlier changes.

Digg kept trying to find better ways to monetize, but eventually just gave up on keeping its own identity. By the time Digg released the big UI change, many users just stopped using Digg and used their reddit accounts. Many did have to create new accounts, but reddit was functionally better Digg by that point.

So what made Digg fail fast was due to it already being on the ledge. Digg chose to jump as opposed to get pushed off. Reddit didn't have a strong alternative coming up like Digg had.

I guess I'm mostly rambling, but Digg was set up to fall already. It just decided to go for it. And reddit was so good for so long that alternatives never built up a users.

Digg had bled users to reddit over the course of a few years before the big one. Many users had accounts on both for that period as well.

"This was on reddit yesterday" was a top comment on Digg often enough.

You can bake the dough most way first, then load it up with the sauce, cheese and toppings before finishing the bake.

It's a play on the term "grass root movement". A grass root movement is one that starts with the people at the bottom, not at the top. So if a bunch of people got together (mostly independent of each other) to promote or protest something, that is a "grass roots" action.

Astroturf is basically fake grass, so "astroturfing" is something that is made to look like a "grass roots" movement but it isn't.

I've used Pocket Cast for a long time now. I bought it probably about 10 years ago. It recently went open source.

Digg didn't "die" from a single change. It bled users over the course of multiple changes. The size of the waves was based on how many users were affected. The big wave was when they redesigned the whole interface.

I don't think Reddit is done changing, so we'll see where things go. I know that eventually they'll kill off the old interface, and that will lose a large portion of users as well.

The big problem is the short shelf life of RBs. The average younger RB in the NFL is better than the average older RB in the NFL. As consequence of the position, they take a beating, and that beating shortens their careers.

When it comes to working with the cap, the value for almost every RB in the league isn't there. There aren't too many Adrian Petersons in the league. No matter how good these guys are when they sign, teams know that, in two to three years, that value will disappear.

Fans were calling this out when Ezekiel Elliott got his big contract, and they were proven right in that case.

I agree. But I think the largest problem is how much single-use plastics we have. It is ridiculous to me that we've gotten to the place we are with single-use plastics. The strength of plastics is their durability and longevity, and we've collectively decided that we should largely use them as temporary packaging.
