This episode still hasn’t shown up in my podcasting app. Is it just me? (It’s nice that it’s available here but I don’t want to have to chase down episodes in another app.)

2023-02-15 21:05:36 +0000 UTCI have worked with electricity this or that for almost my entire career. I can think of at least a half dozen situations where being 'earthed' in the way described would be heavy duty lethal.

2023-02-12 12:28:52 +0000 UTCI'll just offer one more gentle protest about the downloadable file needing to be re-named every time (each one just gets called 1.mp3), which was a pre-existing problem made ever-slightly more difficult by this latest format change.

2023-02-12 07:13:44 +0000 UTCI thought the "pink panther" one was the fiction, because if you did that they would not be able to hunt as well, and they need to hunt to survive. I am not sure it would stop them from being hit by cars, because they certainly stand out from the road, the problem is they suddenly are right in front of you and you can't stop in time.

2023-02-11 21:55:43 +0000 UTCIf I wonder if I am awake or dreaming, I ask myself what day of the week it is and what is the month and year, where I was yesterday, and what happened over the past 24 hours. (If I am dreaming, I just can't remember. Often, I can't even remember where I live.) That more than anything else establishes my condition.
