that's<00:17:48.880> and<00:17:49.000> I<00:17:49.120> thought<00:17:49.360> the<00:17:49.520> only<00:17:49.799> way<00:17:50.039> I<00:17:50.120> can
that's and I thought the only way I can
that's and I thought the only way I can
extend<00:17:50.960> this<00:17:51.360> is<00:17:51.600> is<00:17:51.679> to<00:17:51.840> change<00:17:52.120> something
extend this is is to change something

infrastructural<00:17:54.200> and<00:17:54.360> so<00:17:54.760> that's<00:17:54.919> what<00:17:55.080> I
infrastructural and so that's what I
infrastructural and so that's what I
proceeded<00:17:55.640> to<00:17:55.799> do<00:17:56.280> through<00:17:56.480> a<00:17:56.640> long<00:17:56.880> story<00:17:57.280> one
proceeded to do through a long story one

so<00:18:00.159> if<00:18:00.280> I<00:18:00.400> do<00:18:00.559> it<00:18:00.760> rather<00:18:00.960> than<00:18:01.120> talk<00:18:01.320> about<00:18:01.520> it
so if I do it rather than talk about it
so if I do it rather than talk about it
