If you look for sources carefully, you'll see two attempts.

"another" attempt?

baybal2 | karma 13766 | avg karma 1.35 · | 2020-12-13 15:49:27+00:00

If you didn't know, that was attempted quite a number of times.

pdwetz | karma 211 | avg karma 2.03 · | 2014-01-27 15:24:59

It was attempted once before.

That's why I said tries the second time around, not succeeds yet again.

It could also be twice, which is why the title is accurate. You would have to be incredibly foolish or terribly unlucky, but it's possible.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding numbers, but if the first attempt was aborted then this is the second attempt?

They don't have time to do it the right way the first time, but they have time to do it twice.

pupppet | karma 2270 | avg karma 3.9 · | 2020-02-26 19:56:53

No one is certain you can't get it twice.

hef19898 | karma 16236 | avg karma 1.77 · | 2023-04-04 09:16:56

And it is not even the first time someone tried.

samsungha | karma 2 | avg karma 0.15 · | 2019-07-22 14:55:53

Second try? Dude, it was FIRST try only.

gillytech | karma 739 | avg karma 2.6 · | 2021-07-31 20:50:03

Can't pull the same stunt twice. In the famous words of George W Bush, "Fool me once, shame on ... shame on you. Fool me... You can't get fooled again!"

mddanishyusuf | karma 611 | avg karma 2.84 · | 2019-09-10 08:11:25

Now, you try again.

needle0 | karma 1175 | avg karma 4.42 · | 2022-05-10 20:03:42

They're indeed often said twice in a row, but not always.

djb_hackernews | karma 2689 | avg karma 2.98 · | 2010-05-26 15:28:43+00:00

Not only did they try it, they tried it 3 times.

Zigurd | karma 8472 | avg karma 1.31 · | 2013-07-15 02:25:51+00:00

This is the second time this particular excuse has been trotted out. It didn't work the first time, either.

novalis78 | karma 866 | avg karma 1.67 · | 2019-11-04 10:12:23+00:00

It can’t possibly be the first time someone tried this.

SSLy | karma 2051 | avg karma 1.78 · | 2021-03-24 10:03:05+00:00

First time would be a coincidence, third time is a broken (or working well, depending on your PoV) process/culture.

dang | karma 18142 | avg karma 0.25 · | 2015-07-22 05:21:56

Oh yes, that's what I meant by try again.

bobdole123456 | karma 11 | avg karma 0.73 · | 2018-09-13 23:30:37+00:00

Not the second time, and that’s really the important part.
