With, with special like start and end blocks?
34:45
Yeah.

Make sure you don't have an extra white space in those.

But yes, they're just text files.

Uh, I got started in Macs, I got hired by my old high school as a Windows admin, and I'm like, "This is fine." Like I know Windows things.
34:57
And my fir- my first ever exposure to Mac though was my mom was starting university, and she got a PowerBook G4, and at the same time they were selling a deal, you buy a laptop, you get iPods, because a new model was coming out.
35:08
So my sisters and I all got an iPod, and two of the three worked fine.

I'm starting, you know, with a, a very brief overview of the context.
8:10
So here we're talking about Yemen's civil war, which began in twenty fourteen, which has been catastrophic for civilians, and I think in your interview with Nawal that was very much highlighted.
8:21
You know, millions have been displaced, tens of thousands of civilians have been killed, and it's in this context, a context, a conflict that, you know, had already exacted a huge, enormous human toll on Yemen's civilian population, that Spear, a US private military corporation, was hired to carry out targeted assassinations for the UAE.
8:43
So as we allege in our complaints, in August twenty fifteen, one of the defendants, Abraham Golan, founded Spear Operation Group, um, here in Delaware in the United States, and he recruited, uh, codefendants, a former US Navy SEAL member, Isaac Gilmore, as his chief operating officer, and both of them were based in San Diego, California at the time.
9:03
And together, they pitched a new service that kind of went well beyond your more traditional private security.
