finally something to listen while working and creating something…
am i the only one falling asleep 2 hours in?
If channels on YouTube start doing this more and more we can cancel Netflix for sure (in my house ) !!
Japanese is expensive in everything 😂
10hr of how I'm poor
im gonna be so productive with this omg
🤣
It is beautiful how some products are made, the Time spent, considering we live in a disposable era, cheap prices, cheap products, cheap people. Yes, they are expensive, but we never get to see the process behind. Great videos you guys. Thanks.
amazing ….
All you guys do is turn your stuff into compilations. I'd rather not watch the same videos 5-10 times. Copy and pasting short docs into a long video isn't new or creative. Try and use some brain cells.
Only Wixpool offers good returns from investments in DEX platforms on reliable networks like Bitcoin. And I dont see the point of working with risky assets…
I work with Wixpool. In just 5 months, I made a profit of +150%.
More regurgitated bullshit…stop acting like any of this is new…Just Lazy
10 hours? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
i hope you guys know this is what i need to fall asleep. and thank for this
Love your videos but I can barely do the 90 min marathons let alone 10 hours!
I thought the time was a typo
I just love your videos and the female voice combined
Hesselblad camera, wrong timestamp
The ultimate supercut
10 hours duration? Hmm …. 😅
It’s ten hours long
I take long, hot bathes, finally a video length befitting of my personal time! 😂
I didn’t even know you could upload something 10 hours lol😅
The title of this video could use some work
Calligraphy ink: The sales guy in the video with the clean hands probably makes 20X more money then the guys actually making it. Sad but probably true
you aint had sea urchin till you have had new zealand sea urchin also known as kina they are five times bigger then these and sweet
Wonderful channel and it is free.👍.
Too long video but we thank you.
whats next 24h?…
These Business Insider videos are very entertaining, educational, and calming to watch. I love to play them while doing other things like cooking, driving, playing games, etc.
This is PERFECT to listen, learn, and watch (a little) while working. Thanks y'all!
I will be forever grateful to Mrs. Louise Amanda Mussel, for the profound transformation she brought to my life. Through her guidance, I was able to overcome significant financial debt with just a small investment. I am immensely thankful and will continue to share her name with the world, as she has truly saved me.
