Is that Sam? It doesn’t sound like him.
Nice Try, Comoros
Just imagine if it was 3 letters
Alternative title: how Twitch got Tuvalu into the United Nations
I’m familiar with Tuvalu from that story I encountered on Reddit (actually, one of those video compilations of Reddit thread responses) about the guy from Australia who took a government contract position on Tuvalu to get away from his cheating ex-fiancee, only to discover that the person who got the other contract position offered that year… was the ex-fiancee. He ended up spending two years in a tiny office on an island in the middle of nowhere with the woman he hated so much, he tried to move halfway across the Pacific to get away from her!
For real tho, it cost me $800 too fly from Perth too Karratha, Western Australia. It’s within the same state and 1200km away
The country that got .io is also pretty fortunate
Wow
You can skip the joining fee for the U.N. by using the League of Micronations.
The faded pine conclusively deserve because existence geographically sign unto a teeny-tiny mosque. damaging, acoustic client
how i just realized that half as interesting has the weirdest logo
3:43 lmbo, that was the first thing that came to mind when I heard that extension LUL
Just from the avatar of this video i knew what this was about. I am one of the people that still owns a .tv since then 🙂
I wanna here more about the bathtub.
What Tuvalu need is a new flag with the pictures of Terry O’Quinn, a broken spine, a wheelchair with a miserable cripple sitting in it.
2018 Half As Interesting sounds like a young version of himself
Too late now , but Clifford Stoll is a very nice and interesting scientist, who helped catch some hackers working for the KGB back in the 80s. You can see him in Numberphile videos talking enthusiastically about klein bottles and topology, you can see his TED talks, he’s a romantic and old-school, even hippieish kind of guy, not ” a journalist ”. Just setting the record straight, and giving his opinion the credibility it deserves, even if it appears mistaken 25 years after it was shared. Also, if you pause the video and read the article attached briefly, you’ll see that he makes some valid points that turned out to be true and a big problem with the way the internet influences our life. Sorry, old news, anyway. Great channel, been watching for a couple of years at least,I had missed this video. Cheers!
will be a lucky country that gets the code ‘yt’
This video should have been sponsored by hover
Somehow this information made me happy 🙂
If only .id was also popular
Tuvalu is not just one island
they get about 5 million not 2-3 million
Goddamn this channel is such good clickbait! Upvote! Thumb up your content!
They should artificially make the island bigger or something
2:35 my country lol
2 billion dollar bathtub! Yet the church is always asking for money.
Ah, good times when Skillshare had only 18,000 classes.
Ah, the good old times when HAI videos were almost like Wendover videos, i.e. no overtly cheesy jokes and quite a serious tone…
if for India the ISO code is IN then like isn’t that India also got very lucky ???
I mean .in is used in many manyyyy websites
so those websites must be paying India well or are they not ????
People love dropping the fact about Vatican City being a country but it really isn’t. There are so many asterisks added to the sentence that it’s not true at the slightest scrutiny.
Wait, where does the money the un makes from the entry fees go to??
Wow lol
Speaking of domain names the nearby Cook Islands have a domain name of .ck! It also has a company domain name of co! So if you put both domain names together you get co.ck!
Why use Mike Boyd’s tutorial when you could use one from a channel dedicated to cubing?
“Tuvalu is very small, very isolated, and very poor.”
Same, Tuvalu. Same
Who’s here for research purposes after yes theory video
How much of that income will go away now that twitch has decided that it doesnt like having millions of users anymore and prefers to be the new blue checkmark twittter
the fact he says "toovahlu" instead of "toovaloo" kills me
HAI.tv
.you did it
Printer go BRRR
This man gets more sponsorships in a month than dollars I get in a year.
I recently just started investing in bitcoin when I learnt it was $60000 through the help of Austin and just an hour ago I got a profit of $9000 into my wallet.
Oh so Netherlands own .net and Comoros .com? That’s interesting
