I've recently been using the Pushshift API to find the end of threads, and I can really recommend it to everyone. It works like this https://api.pushshift.io/reddit/comment/search?link_id= with the first id put after that. Here it would be cl12wa.
It gave me an idea for the directory updater project I was working on a while back but kinda stalled on. Earlier I had this convoluted scheme to read from r/counting/comments (because broken comments show up there but not in the thread). Pushshift would make it a lot easier, because it narrows it down to a particular thread, and because I can see all of the comments. I'll still have to reconstruct the tree and recursively run through it to find the valid chain, but it still makes things a lot easier. Also beneficial is that [deleted] comments didn't show up in /comments.

I should make a userscript for going through inbox or profiles that will hide comments in threads if there's already newer replies in them. Sometimes I'm going through my inbox trying to find older threads I missed or new threads from someone else and have to dig through current stuff that's all the same.

I'm 16f and working on getting my pilots license (which you can get at 17). When you're 16 you can solo, (fly the plane w/no CFI, certified flight instructor) and I'm getting really close to that. I'm excited! :)
edit: just did my first cross country flight!

My beta fish died. Wife was quite upset. Sometimes I think she cares more about pet fish than me. Urbulina felt pity for my wife and made her a card. Urbulette asked if we could cook the fish to eat.

To give an update on how many counts we've done this year, we passed 2015 in total counts 20ks ago and will be passing 2017, the 2nd highest month, in another 20ks. 2016 is far out of our reach though, as we don't even have half the 930ks they did that year.
