159 - For Our Short Kings

I have full control over my thermostat, except that it is connected to a central network that the builder has access to and will shut off if I run it too long and they also turn off my AC every year before the last heat wave in September. I'm too hot to be more bitter than that! I think we really learned something today, the topic of this podcast will be taught in social studies classrooms for years to come. Also, it's all jokes, you're great whether you can get on all the rollercoasters or not!...
