I also learned that if you upload a 1.2GB video to youtube that is longer than 15 minutes, it will allow you to waste a long time to upload it, it will convert it, it will give you a link to it and then when you view that link&#8230; it says the video was too long so you can&#8217;t see it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At my little party for my 40th birthday, I got a present from a few awesome friends: a flight over Stockholm by helicopter.
