Hinting at an episode on Hydrogen power.

Watching this inspired me to clean my CPAP tubing immediately. Hopefully the new anxiety about bacteria in the machine that forces me to breathe when I'm asleep sticks, and I'll keep up the maintenance that the manufacturer suggests. 🥲

This is the first bonus episode I chose to listen to after paying my podcast dues again, and hearing Liam say “you paid for this, idiot” was quite poignant and topical.

9:40, can we talk about the engineering disaster that is the American economy that also starves its children and allows people like Brett Favre to steal from the programs designed to feed them?

Ade Akili

if you're wondering the convention where the person did the comic about how they exposed everyone to covid was the final fantasy xiv fanfest this year LOL

Andy

You know how you sometimes hear something, usually a throwaway, and it just...fucking TAKES YOU BACK IN TIME? The furry who infected that convention (iirc) was someone who became notorious and persona non grata within the fandom bc they literally went around twitter posting "*coughs on you*" in reply to anyone talking about COVID. WELL I HAD IRL DRAMA WITH HIM BEFORE THAT and holy fuck it was the most hilariously dumb, sad, pissant shit. This was back in 2014 and I still had Grindr; at the time i worked for a motorsports complex and had selected "jock" as my...category? Whatever, anyway this little shit DM'S ME OUT OF THE BLUE to tell me I "can't" use that category bc I didn't qualify as a jock. Dude tried to bully me on Grindr and well...can't post pics in comments but fuck was his profile hilarious.

Always feels good to see a new episode. Here I am to ask for an ancient Roman disaster, seeing as all men are constantly thinking about them.

Also shout out to Liam bringing up the VFW system's services to hardcore during the lean years

Theres a wtyp discord?

I feel like a dingus for asking but I left the discord sever years ago to cut down on my growing discord server counts but I want in again, hat in hand. I can’t find the url tho. Does anyone have it?

Which one of you makes the lolli-pop sound?

I planned water systems for a while. Legionaires probably created over 95% of the engineering norms for residential water systems. Everything else is basicly just a few formulas regarding pressure and flow, a sign that says "don't put poop into drinking water" and a paranoid guy checking every pipe he sees for lead. Legionaires dictates basicly all design choices, ranging from dedicated circulation lines to which faucet you use for appliances, faucets, showers and the like.

I'm from Minnesota and I actually like Amy Klobuchar.

I can't wait to be able to listen to this one on the feed, or audio download 😎

I listened to this then an hour later got on a 9 hour Spanish ferry that had two jacuzzis on it. Will report live as events unfold.

Conor O'Toole

I was just at my local state fair and went by 3 different hot tub vendors who had at least one tub out with water in it. I did smell chlorine so hopefully I won't die of legionella

LoL. My brother-in-law got Legionnaires' last year.

My favorite microbe is the paramecium. Mostly because they are called "Pantoffeltierchen" in German which translates to "Slipper animal"

Is a audio version of this coming soon?

I never thought I could Google "legionnaire's disease home testing kit as fast as I did after listening to this episode.

Audio nerd here, thank you for saying this. There are more avenues of the studio-production industry than cheap condenser microphones on expensive stands and the eponymous Deflector Pads Mounted At Random. There is no difference between diva vocalists and podcasters, spending £400 on a recording setup bundle and half a day researching an entire art form means you must be an expert. Don't recommend shit if you demonstrably don't know what you're talking about

PearlDrinkingMan

Heads up before you buy anything, acoustic foam doesn't isolate your room, it's just supposed to tamp down reflections from inside the same room so your recordings don't get all echoy and shitty

Wontolla

Liam was very frisky on this one.

Wes Bartlett

I have to know where Alice heard the phrase "ride the wild paramecium"! I heard that phrase decades ago and wrote it down bc I thought it was hilarious, and I have no idea what the context was. I googled it and could only find an old science blog and nothing else. Did we just watch the same MST3K episode in the late 90s?

Lauren Shear

thank y'all so much for this disgusting body horror episode, distinct from the horror of being, say crushed by a building, immolated in a tunnel, or extruded through a small opening in a pressure vessel. Love.

Charley Shadetree

Anybody else having a problem with Patreon just demanding endless captchas and refusing to show the video?

I always love how bizarre the patreon episode titles are

The joy i felt when they mentioned my town's specific disaster state fair and went... eesh.. i had actually gone that year and was dealing with a bout of health anxiety. i definitely thought i was going to die of Hottub Sickness

I am a ‘Hero of the Legion’ of Donkcast fame. Please tell me what charity you’d like me to donate to so you can do an episode (bonus or not) (guest or not) about the Oshkosh Defense mail truck and mail trucks in general and Oshkosh in general. 🙏 I think we could make some things happen

I think if you distill that filth water it'll actually kill the bacteria. You get sick sure, but it won't be an infection

Liz and Ash in Florida. It's very hot! Climate change will kill us all.

Love to see the pod doing all the famous case studies from nursing school.

Spencer Moore

Adding poop yo water on purpose creates the problem of having to treat the sewage water before it can be used for other purposes. As water becomes more precious I wonder if we’ll all start using dry toilets (aka composting toilets)

Gwen Lofman

Sat down in my office this morning looking forward to listening to this episode while I work, then realizing with slowly dawning horror that this cursed ass hotel is viewable from my office window. The view made complete with some netting covering portions of that fancy ass facade. I'll keep y'all posted on if I get crushed by some architecture or catch explode your lungs disease.

P1 visa for Alice to travel to the US and perform as an entertainer. Or travel under the usual ESTA and don't mention you are going to perform if you want to run the risk the TSA won't find out

Love the show! Keep up the great work. Kinda annoyed at my brain for waking up at 3am up shouting “ALLEGIANT AIR!” Grrr.

I suppose all the under-occupied billionaire extra homes aren't getting their water supplies cycled often. All the more reason to seize them and give them to the homeless.

If you want to know about an even more infuriating outbreak of Legionnaires, check out the PBS documentary on the one on Flint, Michigan: part of the whole water debacle. It drove me nuts.

This episode brought me lovely memories from the worst year ever: 2019. The husband got a respiratory infection, that turned into bilateral pneumonia (his lungs were even cloudier than the x-ray in the slide), that turned into ARDS, and then got a MRSA infection to get the whole set (he was admitted to the same hospital where he was an ER medic, so he may have had it already dormant). He ended up getting the COVID deluxe treatment 6 months before COVID: 3 weeks on the respirator, 3 rounds of proning that did nothing, 5 days of ECMO (saved his life), tracheotomy, feeding tube, the works. And indeed, the Vancomycin started messing with his kidneys, they put him on permanent dialysis for 8 days and that saved his kidneys (he can never take ibuprofen again, though). And all this for a measly adenovirus. Not fun at all. Now that I know we can get the same from a water fountain or hot tub, I have developed a new phobia! Great episode, guys!
