Ha! I guess I should've predicted a "couple days" instead of a "couple years". Still, I hope people now realize that "failure" to indict immediately is not the same as failure to indict.

I personally took it as "expected to take far longer than [initially] expected".

That didn't take long. So much for those folks who thought the gov't would never stoop so low.

Don't be surprised if that takes, er, a while to happen

hahaha i was wondering how long it would take for my statement to be wrong

bmajz | karma 99 | avg karma 1.21 · | 2015-03-31 23:59:02+00:00

Yeah, I guess I should've stated a reasonable/known amount of time :)

Well, thought this would take months to years, but happy to be wrong.

Looking forward to the perp walk and orange jumper.

I'd be surprised if it took that long.

pavel_lishin | karma 46523 | avg karma 3.63 · | 2017-04-18 19:20:54+00:00

I don't think it'll take that long.

"More than a year ago"? Really? What did anyone think was going to happen in a year?

This sort of thing usually takes longer than you expect it to, and then it usually happens faster than you expect it to.

Well I never thought it would take more than a few days for this to happen...

They obviously mean it took that long to get a resolve.

He beat the announcement by single digit hours (5-6), not a whole day. Still, an impressive guess.

danablast | karma 6 | avg karma 0.86 · | 2019-01-08 19:07:39+00:00

It won't take that long.

pwmanagerdied | karma 316 | avg karma 1.56 · | 2009-10-28 22:12:32

Well, that didn't take long.

Groxx | karma 17784 | avg karma 2.5 · | 2011-06-12 08:37:40+00:00

Well, that didn't take long.

> Didn't really take long ...

You're meaning that sarcastically, yeah?

This was bound to happen, just surprised it took so long time...

CameronNemo | karma 5260 | avg karma 2.11 · | 2021-04-11 04:10:58+00:00

Wording implies that it just took a while.

Surprised it took you that long. I was done at “they couldn’t have been more wrong”.
