What relevance is "delta", or the symbol? I get that there was a 17 minute gap, but if it was a 30 minute gap, could you just as easily mention whatever that is? Did "delta", or delta symbol, come up anywhere?

A Delta is a measurement between things. If q posts at 1:20, and PDJT posts at 1:25, there's a 5 min delta

Detla is military talk for 'Delay'

The triangle symbol is a Delta symbol.

That's not true at all. In science and math, "delta" refers to CHANGE. The delta, or change between the two posts was 17 minutes. Delta doesnt mean delay at all. Delta is however the military phoenitic for "D". In orbital mechanics you will also hear reference to "delta-v", or the amount in velocity a space vehicle must change to either incline or decline their orbit.

Delta, to me, has always meant amount of change/difference in whatever units one is working.

I found it useful to apply the term "offset" to Delta personally.

So is 17 minutes a typical "delay"? I'm trying to figure out relevance of all this.
