Read the review. It says it was reviewed in the last week. Anyone know how Google+ time stamps their posts? Could this be from today, or does this mean last week. Kind of creepy.

ETA: Video of explosion at 33 seconds.

(7,099 posts)they're tagged the same way "in the last week" and they refer to the explosion too, so I think it's from after the fact. A few real jerky messages in there!

(7,099 posts)The first time I clicked on it, I swear there were like six of them, including two or three duplicates of the one that is showing up now, but now it's the only one appearing. One other one said "that's what you get for eating animals" or something like that, and another just said "posted April 17th".
I don't know anything about Google+ or how to see those again but I swear I saw them that first time.

The "BOOM...ya hear me now" post was first.
Weird.

(7,099 posts)I just logged into Google and went back there and saw the other reviews again. When I wasn't logged in, I just saw the one you're talking about (the ashes to ashes one right?). I don't do Google + but I logged in with my gmail/blogger ID.

(549 posts)Reviewed IN the last week. Meaning within. At first I thought this was something big.

(19,877 posts)Sorry to anyone this might confuse. I'm confused about it too.

(7,099 posts)Twitter tells me Bob ate toast two seconds ago, and this is giving us time frames of a week. Cable men are more specific about time than that. Oh and did you see, I figured out the missing reviews above in #9.

(1,941 posts)Just had a post hidden because I was being racist against Texans. :/
I've got family out there. I've been there. Texas is America on Republicanism and it's an ugly thing to behold. They either put that plant too close to the community or the community too close to the plant. This is the sort of thing that zoning codes are meant to prevent. This is what the lack of oversight and regulation looks like. It's the Texan mentality. It is an achingly beautiful state ruined by the people who live there. Just drive down the highways and tell me I'm wrong.
It's too soon to know what went wrong but I'll put a shiny nickel down on it being shoddy maintenance, poor training, and general corner-cutting. My nickel is on this being what it looks like when you do it wrong.

(33,956 posts)the kid obviously had his eardrums blown out.
Yet, the video is posted online before the parents take the kid to get medical help.

(5,514 posts)Nothing is better than just stating the time something was posted. I hate this 'in the last hour' 'within the last week' etc etc.
