064: Tiny Prick

The good news is that space is fucking big. Yeah. Hello and welcome to episode number 64 of Unrelenting for March 31st, 2023, one day short of April Fools. No one is afraid of Russians. Is that true? Sure. Because, you know, now it was reported on Bill O'Reilly's show this week that the Russian sanctions are working. Hmm. I was unaware of that, as is the mainstream media. But the mainstream media we know lies. I'm definitely. There. For sure. He is g never truly, ever needs a wake.

Whew. I am awake. Of course, the big news is the is the clusterfuck that we like to call American politics, because early yesterday, the day before, we heard, hey, the grand jury, they're going away there. They're they're going on a hiatus for, like a month. Mm hmm. And then all of a sudden, it's like we're indicting. Well, that was the threat. The jury. Probably. Well, if you guys don't want to agree. Yeah, I guess we can, you know, have you come back in a month for another month or two?

Yeah. If you don't want this, if you don't get this indictment done. Well, that's what they do. I mean, it's it shouldn't be the way it works, but the way it works is they will literally tell the grand juries that you'll be out of here soon as you and Dave. Well, we'll see what they do when they show up at Supreme Court justices homes. This is the whole new concept of politics.

And I don't care what side you're on, it should scare the hell out of you when intimidation has come to rule the day, because sooner or later you're going to be overrun, you're not going to be in charge. And that's why it's interesting when you have such a minority groups like the Trans Folk. Mm hmm. The latest story I saw this morning. I wouldn't even classify most trans folk. I would to transact. Yes. Well, this is plenty of people that just want to be left alone. Yes.

It is very important to point out not everybody wants to go burn down schools because people are bad. I mean, like all black people. Right. So that seems like maybe that was a over generalization, but people know where to find you if they want to complain about it, if they're not used to jeans tossing out of the Molotov cocktails to see what comes back. Well, I'm just highlighting the way you're stating things, that's all. Yes.

Well, CBS News, the story today and I believe this could possibly be true, knowing how the mainstream media works, said the internal memos that came down said, whatever you do, do not refer to the Nashville shooter as transgender. Mhm. And this to me just literally points out everything that's wrong with the way our system has been working lately. What's been wrong with the media and why people one don't trusted. Two people have turned away from it in droves even over the last 12 months.

Ratings are down on Fox News bigly. They're down even more on CNN. CNN lost in the 25 to 52 or whatever that big demographic is that everybody wants, because that's allegedly the people with the money. Well, this is what's funny is outside of Tucker and Fox, Tim Paul gets higher ratings than all the news channels. Oh, there's just more. Live viewers than every single news channel out there wanted. To be. On Tucker's end. Yeah, just imagine when you add in the Non-Live views.

Yeah, it's millions, but live is like 50000 to 150000 people every night and occasionally 300,000 people. If I remember the number correctly, for the cable news outlets right now, which would be MSNBC, Fox News, CNN, all added together in that primetime slot. 4 million people total are watching. I think CNN was under 100,000. And that's just sad. We know podcasts that are getting way more. Well, we do know I guess they're getting more. But at this.

One, I mean, now both one exactly where, you know, we're close. Yeah, we're we're well, we're definitely making up a lot of ground fast. Yes. Yeah, but it is what's amazing is that the ad raid for the CNN is out there are still higher than they are for YouTube. Because people are still stupid and don't understand the new media. I guess they've concentrated the 100,000 most gullible people possible in one place and maybe that's worth more money. You're right. If you're watching CNN, you know.

Ads on there, we know you're going to buy shit that you don't need. We know you're susceptible to being scammed because you're watching CNN, which, you know, you make a really good point. If I was going to put up an ad that I was looking for, gullible people, CNN and MSNBC, be right up my level. Yeah, absolutely.

But when you have a major network news agency that is allegedly in this case saying don't referred to the shooter in Nashville as transgender, you're hiding a big part of the story because this is not just so. How should you refer to them as a trans. Shooter? I guess just, you know, as a person, you don't mention that they're transgender, even though the person left behind a manifesto that seems to be all tied into the trans movement. So it's like but then that's very.

Blue said already. You're right. They're like, well, we we can't release that because it's very dangerous. We can't have the people here. That I read something they lost the that they can't find it anymore. Well, I want to know here's what I want to know. How come a thousand different people haven't gone to GP and had it spit out the manifesto and just put it out there like it's real because this is what we have now. We have an overload of just crap. But if somebody didn't have.

Another load of crap. You know, and it's like that, this is the guy. So you want you want to start offending CSB by talking about GP? Sure is. I don't know if that would offend him. I know is see a big Jet fan. I mean that's. Yeah it's not the end all in. Yeah. Is it. I mean it's not but it, you know I know that Adam making fun of it definitely. He just like it. And I do think that now I will say for my part, I do think Adam's going a little overboard with the lewd diapers.

I'm here about the watch chat here. It's literally like looking at a a Lego construction kit that you can use to make an actual running vehicle out of them, saying, well, let's think stupid. It's not going to laugh. It's it's got all kinds of defects compared to a real car. Well, no shit. Of course, it's got defects compared to a real car. It's not a real car. It's a fake car. And there's advances happening on a regular basis.

So at some point, the the fake Lego car is going to be able to do the exact same stuff as the real cargo where it's a builder. That's my analogy in using cars to compare it. And it's also GPT three, which is general purpose, which there are systems there that are AA systems that are out there that are specialized. And they do much better in their specific area of expertise than the general system ever will. Right. It's knowing how to get the best out of that. The technology.

Yeah. Like we have vision systems that are so much better than humans at analyzing images and movements and tracking things like in production lines or robotic stuff like that. The latest generation of vision systems are all air based, so it can't just poo poo a high because it forgets that you know how many times you were married or whether or not you have a kid. Well, it's like pooh poohing modern medicine. Let's just move away from the.

Yeah, the the people that think the whole medical community is trying to kill people. And besides that, there were early advances in medicine that killed a lot of people when they were trying to do all sorts of different. Things, kill people. Medicine has always killed people for literally since the invention of medicine 2000 years ago. Yes. Yeah. 3000 if you want to include Egypt. There was a whole bit in Scrubs, which I rewatched recently. One of the best comedy. I haven't seen them forever.

Oh. That's pretty good. You know? And they were like the head doctor, Perry Cox. He's like, you know, you are murderers because you're as doctors, you are going to kill people. You will. Yeah. That's part of the gig. And you have to understand that. And you have to be able to live with that where you might help 90% and 10%. What you do is the reason that doctors take the Hippocratic Oath is because they will kill people. It's it's not because they're better than everybody else.

It's because they're worse than everybody else. And therefore, you have to take that oath. It makes sense. It's a chance of least harm possible. Well, yes, but. That's looking still end up being death of somebody unintentionally. What's amazing when you look at like the treatments for cancer, it's like, well, the treatment for cancer is you put a ton of poison into people and hope their system can fight it off so it can beat the cancer as well. It's literally the leeches, huh?

It's a more modest. A more modern version of leeches and. Probably works a little better. Let's just suck all the bad blood out of your body and then you'll be healthy. I'll just filter it out. We going to have. The whole point of leeches. Just this. Run that blood through this. It'll be. Great. Yeah, well, they are. I mean, that kind of stuff is coming. That's not quite there yet, but. Well, there was some crazy.

There's been blood rejuvenation happening in Mexico for a lot of people with money. And drugs or off the press. One of those aggregators, I didn't read the story because I'm like, I think it's bullshit, but the headline was that, you know, scientists believe that within six or eight years it was maybe even four, that people can be immortal, that this is how close they are to the. I'm like, Really? Yeah, of of course. I mean, you may extend lifespans. Then the question.

It all depends on your definition of immortality. I guess that's, you know, you got through in your terms. Elon could put your whole being into an A.I., and that could be. If he's. Going to live forever. Exactly. And so does that count? Maybe. Possibly. No. I've said for a long time that I think that most people don't understand. The future of humanity does not involve any living tissue. You think God from the Matrix? No, I think we're going to be dead. But I think ultimately.

We're all dead. Oh, yeah, absolutely. The the end result, if we banished not to ourselves before it happens, is to move to the next step in the evolution, which is silicon based, carbon based. And so this concept of clinging on to these, you know, wet computers is it's anachronistic. It's like not really necessary and it's not needed. Progress will keep happening without any of us around. Well, the planet will be much happier without us. Carbon based finance. Doesn't give a shit. But the.

Yeah, I'm not going to anthropomorphize the planet. I mean, Al Gore is lying to us. Al Gore. Al Gore is making good bucks. Even even though none of his predictions have come true, he's still making good. But no know. He's like. Going in. Yeah. Using his carbon credit. This is because nobody understands history. I mean, if you would just go back throughout history, you would understand

where snake oil salesman were. Mm. You know, just watch some old Western shows when the snake oil guy comes into town when there it hasn't rained in, you know, months. Hey, I could make it rain if you just collect all the money in the town and give it to me, I'll seed those clouds. Exactly. You know, this is it. This is what we have now.

And you would think that because we're living in an information age where it's never been easier for information to transverse the planet, that it would be harder for those kind of folks to pull the wool over people's eyes.

But no, it's actually become easier because it's the Internet where we go to get the verification when we hear, oh my goodness, Al Gore said the planet's got a temperature and it's going to and if we don't do this, well, I go typing to Google what's going on and Google spits out exactly what Al Gore wants me to see. Sure. Yeah. But it doesn't really matter because we'll all be dead. Because this is this is a very fatalistic turn for this show. We're not really unrelenting anymore.

We have relented. We're all going to be dead. So, yes, we're going to be we're changing the show name to relenting. Yes, we are totally relenting at this point. Relented. We're done. We're all going to die. That's right. It's inevitable. This White nobody should donate or this is why they should donate all of their money, because at this. Point, you might as well donate it, frankly. Because you are going to die. You may as well get rid of all that crypto.

You better hold it on to Everything's in the green. When I'm looking at my little stream deck today, there is. Yeah. When it comes to the bitcoin, when it comes to the card there, when it comes to the. Coin on their stream deck. That's funny. Yeah. Well it shows if you put in how much you have there's a plug in or whatever they call it. So you can see in real dollars as bitcoin's going up and down how much you've got. Or you mean fake bills? Well, no, it's in the right fiat fund.

Fake dollar equivalent. Yeah, but the thing is, you know, I agree back to that. It's a building block. It is an interesting look at what technology can do because it's an aggregator That's. Basically here's what it sounds like to me when I hear somebody and, you know, Adam's one of these guys. Unfortunately, I hear somebody saying, Oh, hey, I suck. That's it just doesn't work great. But I hear in my head is the voice of guys back 30 years ago saying, oh, the internet sucks.

It doesn't really work. You can't use it for anything useful. It's just a fad and go away. It's not going to stick around. Yeah. Uh huh. Now it's plugged in to us 24 hours a day. Seven. We are to use the internet as the example. I think with a systems right now we're about 1991 and so I was on the Internet 91, and I think Adam was if he was a, you know, nerd. What we were, though, you know, even before that, you had your precursors in the CompuServe and the different services like this.

But I'm not including that. I'm just including what's always been known as the Internet. Right. And we're at about 1991 level. So you can't compare 91 Internet to the current Internet, even though by definition it's the same thing. It's a a collection of mesh connections between different ISPs and corporations that allows data to flow through multiple pathways to avoid any major disasters that might disrupt a central hub that like that definition of the Internet, that change.

That's what it was originally created back was ARPANET. And it still is the case that if we have connections or servers going down in Dallas, it means traffic gets rerouted to Virginia or somewhere else with large server farms. So it's it's doing same thing, but it's so much bigger and faster and, you know, in every way better than the Internet of 1990. But doesn't come down to the same thing all computing does, which is garbage in, garbage out. So at least. So that was that was exactly right.

So if if somebody reads that about themselves, which nobody should ever really do, I mean, that's so narcissistic. But if somebody does read an article that spits out about themselves and it says, Oh, you have two kids and you actually have one kid, well, that means somewhere on the Internet, somebody probably in your Wikipedia page at one point in time has put that you have two kids. That's a human error, not an air.

Yeah, I is repeating the human error and over time it will be better at detecting human errors. Yes, if I has accurate data when this especially with things like medical information now if the information that it is grabbing is faulty, it's always going to be faulty. But as the data gets better. Yep. You will be able to have you know, the concept of a computer doctor is not really that crazy because there's another thing I'm noticing with all the doctors that I go to. Way better than doctors.

And all the doctors that my parents go to. All of a sudden, nurse practitioners are everywhere. Everywhere. I agree. The last visit I had was to one of those as well. And what this is the technology will do is you're going to need less skilled people that are able. Nobody wants to go to medical school and then make 160,000 a year. Going and get sued off the planet if you do. Something wrong. But you need somebody that's able to accurately enter the data and figure out what your symptoms are.

And then the big brain in the sky will spit out. I really don't. I honestly, I think they could do all of that. And then I say, I am not talking about GPP. I mean, like a computer system that will either access the data that I already have based on my watch, my mattress, my air sensors. Ultrasound sensors in it now. Because I've had that for a decade. Is this just like a sleep number or something that tells you how you're sleeping, that kind of thing? No, it it measures how my breathing is.

It measures how many times I spin at night. It listens to my snoring. It does all kinds of things. Oh, that poor mattress. Mm hmm. Yeah. But the amount of data that we have and I mean, just looking back, and I've had this watch now for, what, a month or two? Whatever. It's back. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The amount of data that's already collected is both fascinating and scary. Mm hmm. But you look again, I know a lot of people think they're native ads, and they are.

When you have the story of, Hey, the watch found, I had this issue and I didn't know and it saved my life because if I didn't have the little thing popping up saying, hey, we notice something, I wouldn't have gone to the doctor or the hospital and they would have never figured this out. Yeah, but this is where we're moving and it's very interesting to me that the amount of data that these devices can collect.

I mean, again, I remember having a trash 80 color computer that was only 32 characters on the screen wide. I remember having it acoustic coupler modem, or I actually had to take the phone off the hook and put it into the little rubber things, you know? So the fact that a little sensor on your wrist is able to do now the heart rate, it can notice if it's in an arrhythmia, it can notice your breathing. The it's very close to being able to do blood pressure.

It's 5 to 7 years, allegedly from being able to do your blood sugar, your glucose. Oh, we're at blood sugar. It's just there. The issue is batteries. But you can buy sensors right now that leave your blood sugar that is smaller than your watch. Really, without taking a blood sample. It just does. Yeah. That's crazy. Yeah. It's it's got a little tiny needle that sticks to your skin. Okay, so that doesn't take blood, but it is getting no heat. But you don't.

I mean, it's less than you feel from doing, like, insulin injections. Well, yeah. You need a little prick, though. It's a little tiny prick, and you slap it on your skin and it's. It's glue. You know, there's glue in the bottom that sticks on there for a month. You need to slap. Every last month on your. Skin. That's what I'm hearing here. Yeah, well, that's better than other places, So that lasts about a month, and then you just swap it out and you stick another one there.

But it gives continuous readings. And that's the thing. Like you could do that right now with a separate device. I don't think it'll, it'll be all that long before they can incorporate that into the watch. So you'll have a model with blood sugar that just has a tighter fit to your wrist. Basically. So when do we get to the point where we're just cyborgs in? The machines are controlling everything? Well, hopefully sooner than later. That's because he wanted to live longer.

I really I mean, I'm not going to do that. But I think I think this is this was kind of my starting point is we're heading towards what some people describe as singularity. And I know it has sort of a sci fi ish meaning, but all the collected information, all the knowledge and all the, you know, beyond knowledge, what do you call stuff that's not really knowledge, but history. History, preferences, I guess. I don't know.

I don't know the right word for it, but everything that has to do with humanity is being collected and sort of and this is what our AI systems are built for, is to be able to do that more efficiently and better and to be able to communicate with the ones that are still made of, you know, wet, wet wear instead of hardware. But ultimately, you just won't need that. Like, humanity will be fully encompass in a digital format. It'll be much more convenient.

Well, it will allow us as a species to progress to the next evolutionary step, which does mean immortality in a sense, and it will allow us to travel through great distances in space and come to whole other solar systems without having to worry about keeping these bodies alive. Those damn meat bags.

Yeah. I mean, I don't think that if you if you just logically figure out what would be the next evolutionary step for an intelligent species, I think it's inevitable that at some point you have to lose the bodies. Well, because your. Body. Cannot handle the input of that kind of sound in your.

Brain is not capable of having as much information as a computer system or whether you say or not, Just just it's like they're like we used to use the brain as the pinnacle of someday we'll get computers to be as good as our brains while we're way beyond that.

Which I think was interesting, I pointed out on my last random thoughts that when you look at all the data, because there was a bunch of articles I saw which were talking about mortality in the younger generations, you know, 18 and under dying. Yeah. And you look at the numbers for suicide and they were going progressively down. I mean, they were high and they were coming down, coming down. It hit 2007 and that number started going up again.

Kids started killing themselves at a higher rate, then going up since 2007. And I was just kind of curious because I've always had this theory. Anyway, you know, what happened in 2007? You mean other than financial issues? But I don't know what the very first smartphone came out. The iPhone came out. Oh, yeah. I am convinced that kids having access to these devices is so dangerous to their well-being. But nobody wants to talk about that. Everybody wants to talk about, oh, the guns.

I'm telling you, the guns are not the problem. Guns have been around a lot longer than the phones have. Yes. And those numbers aren't spiking or anything. See, I've never had a problem with suicide, though. This is I know this is another one of those controversial topics because being a true NYU film libertarian, I can't even say that anymore. The current Libertarian Party isn't total the three. They don't know what libertarianism is.

But being a I guess I'll start seeing objectivist the idea that somehow you can end your own life is not compatible with the idea of self ownership. Well, I think the point here, more, especially in the case I agree with you, if you're an adult, you have a medical condition, you got something that happens where you're like, I'd like to check out now, please. Yeah, I'm fine with that. But I think what this is really showing is the you. Know, that that's a controversial position.

Yeah, you may be fine with it, and so am I. But, like, we're probably less than 1% of the population that would say I agree with that. Which is probably true. But when it comes. People think it ought to be illegal. It's the point isn't really the suicide as much as this is echoing the problems with depression and that kind of mental health issue that it brings along, which there are fixes for, you know, that's the whole thing where it's like your brain was never meant to handle that.

And I've tried to put myself in the position of kids in high school or even younger at this point where when we were growing up, we'd go out, we play with our friends. We knew nothing about the world. Outside of that, we play very little. We had a much more gradual increase in the our sphere of influence or maybe sphere of understanding would be a better way to phrase it.

It you know, it starts off basically just your home and maybe your front yard, and then it slowly grows as you get older to the area that you're familiar with. And then everything outside of that is the big unknown, right? You might have seen it or heard of it, but you haven't been there. You don't really know much about it.

And as you get older, you're you're able to scale that further up and up and up so that, you know, the big step for most kids and in the US is moving off to college in a different state. Right? So that's that's a huge shift in your everything you've ever known is somewhere else. Well even think about access to news when we were children. Know. The the whole concept of cable news didn't exist yet because cable didn't exist. So you had like a you had a couple of newscasts locally every day.

You might have had the one nightly, the ABC, NBC, CBS. You might have had a. Permanent $0.10 pm news. And it was it. Yeah, You couldn't watch news 24 hours a day. You could not. Well, you had the 5 p.m.. To that too. You have 5 p.m. as well. But yeah. Yeah. What year did Turner come out with. That was 82 or 84. It was somewhere around there.

As the mid eighties I think. And that was a brand new concept that regular television, like non cable television, could not understand is like, well, who the hell is going to sit there and watch news all day long and there's not enough news to really talk about? Well, then they went to a Weather Channel 24 hours a day. Oh, that was. A lot of people are making fun of that now. There's multiple other channels. Uh huh. You know, and sports channels. There's things that are just nonstop.

Whatever you want, there's something for you. But I think the the rate of expansion of your the world that's happening right now with Internet and phones is much faster than it was when we were young and and for us, it was much faster than it was for the previous generation. So, like, you know, it's been accelerating, but our our brains are not keeping up. And this is yet again, another reason why the inevitable evolution of humanity if the ditch the what works.

Right because everything we had up until the eighties was a one way medium. It wasn't until you started getting into that computer age where you were able to connect to other machines. Oh, I would. I would say that not quite, because I did listen to talk radio ever since I was a kid. I guess you could call in. Talk radio was always bi directional. But one person at a time, which is a little different than bought. You're right. Oh, I love the bulletin boards. Mm hmm.

How many times you would sit there you really needed the modem? That was an auto dialer, not the. The acoustic coupler sucked for that because you just were never going to connect. But I remember that the modems that would just sit there. So if somebody else was on your favorite bulletin board, your machine, like every 30 seconds or every 60 seconds, would dial the number. And if you could connect and then let you know you were connected to the BBC.

Yep. When I was a such a different world, such a simpler world. And you didn't have the barrage of negative things being thrown out. Yeah. Yeah. But again, in if you look back, the previous generation, they had none of that stuff. You're talking about low modems, they had zero modem. I know they have one. Telephone per house and you know, and some of them have shared lines. I mean, I realized that in my parents lifetime and they're still alive and they're 80 now.

It didn't really even have TV when it started. Yeah, well, this has been around for a while. You certainly didn't have color TV. No. Unless you were in Germany. And then you moved to 4k and eight K, and now you need more KS. The resolution could keep getting better. That's okay. I think is going to be about it because we're getting to the resolution of our eyeballs. Well, yeah. And people are like, I mean, I can't tell the difference really between a 720. And so, I mean there's that.

While you're blind. So for normal people that could tell the difference it eight K 4k to eight K is going to be barely noticeable but it'll still be nice for some people. The amount of data though, that's added on to the stream for that. Yeah. I mean it's all compressed but it is that the. One that hell was that. I don't know. Something. Oh, I should probably turn to my volume down my Mac. Oh I got my Mac up and running. I can't really if I mentioned your Mac Mini. You've got it. Work it.

Finally got it working. Yeah. So this is the one Mac Mini I, I'm considering. I'm considering an M2 Mac mini, but it's hard to pass up. They're small, they're quiet. Yeah, they're powerful as hell. Yeah. I mean, this windows, it's really good. Now, you could certainly get a windows back. That would be similar. But, you know I've, I've always have Mac they, Well I've generally done both but I've, I've done Macs more than I have PCs. And what is your breaking review of this machine.

They came out a year and a half ago. I know. Right. It's probably two years at this point. Yeah, because I've had it for about a year. Uh, kind of tech guy as he ordered the. New. Computer inside the box for a year and. A half. Is that sad? Uh huh. It is sad, but now it's out of the box. It's working. Now, the funny thing would have been if it didn't work and the warranty was over. That's true. That would be pretty. Everybody plugged it in.

Yeah, well, in my old man, Mac Mini still works too, which I found. Um, I actually have three Mac mini series that, that technically all work. They have them babies up. Yeah that's it's exactly what I did. Just don't have the screens for all of them but. Well I like that. Like there's. Enough Thunderbolt ports finally to now the new one's got four. Or the Yes the them two. Yes. Yeah. They um one's got two. Uh, which you know, I mean they really need four and they're both for.

Well I would hook up three monitors to it because I'm still on my old main monitor and 219 inch to the side. So that would make that easier to do right out of the box without having to buy another. Yeah. Another splitter 100 They his like. You can get to a crappy use for that port but I. Would agree. Yeah Yep 4K monitor. If you have three 4K monitors that would be a good year for it. But the if your smaller monitors that are great use. They keep reading more ports.

So I got rid of my USB two point a hub on my main machine because I really have that. Who needs that? But my now my USB three hub is filter. I need like a second USB three hub. Yeah, I've got I'm running 2 to 10 Ford hubs. Yeah, that's what I need. I need another one now, especially with the Drobo. And I thought the Drobo was dying and of course this is old. The Drobo is going out of business now. So that's the other thing I need to do is plug in my drobo and see if things still on there.

It's still working. Yeah, I hope it is. Hasn't been turned down three or four years now. There's probably a lot of gold on there. Well, I got the five seed that I bought for a couple hundred bucks from a No Agenda producer who was out. Don't try it. And I bought a bunch of refurbished hard drives on eBay, believe it or not. And they work perfectly for like a year and a half now until the the power brick died.

Until they don't. Yeah. And once the power bricked idea is the most annoying thing, the power brick died. And that was great because it just turned the thing off and the power brick was making a whining noise so loud under the desk I could hear it. And holy shit. I was like, Whoa, unplug that. And I bought a new power supply and booted the thing up and it didn't recognize the drive in the top slot. So of course that puts Drobo into a whole loop of, Oh, we need to reformat everything.

And I turned it off and on a few times and then it noticed that drive. So I realized that the new power brick sucked. So it was just a little short because I mean, it would make sense. These are enterprise hard drives, so they're probably more power hungry than most drives. And I'm guessing that there just wasn't enough power to get to the top drive. So my guess is the power for the way the drove was wired.

If anybody knows, I'd like to get confirmation, but I'm betting that the power goes from like the lowest drive to the highest, which on the machine and the highest would be zero. So by the time it gets to that drive, there's not enough power, so it's not spinning up. So the problem didn't recognize it. That's not how it works. But I don't know how whatever it is. What you're describing would be the case if we're talking about a water hose. Right? It's kind of.

But I don't understand why we always were why was it always the same bay not showing up? That's weird. That. Well, I'll tell you what it could be is that Bay could have a bad solder in the power connector, too, where there's some arching. And if your last power supply was more powerful than you wouldn't have any issues. But as you reduce the power, the thing is to fail first is a faulty soldered connection. Yeah, that could make sense. But I bought a new USB power supply.

Now it works like perfect again. Oh, okay, good. Well, keep. Keep them handy. As you might, you know, my job was about ten years old, so at some point, my birthplace, Green Bay, you know, once they plug it in, I plug it in. Yep. But if it goes up in flames that he got that. My hope is I can plug it in and then copy all the data off of there. Even though there's one bad drive onto my network that storage and then I don't care about that. I mean. Yeah, you ordered.

Drobo and I'm sure that probably has been damn near ten years. Maybe not quite, maybe like eight years, but I bought it when I bought the trashcan. Mac Oh, nice. I like. That. Throw that thing still going strong, I bet. Way sold a long time ago, but I bought it for ten grand and they sold for three grand years later. Well, that's the way Apple keeps up there. Oh, it was horrible because I was like, Oh, this is the most expensive computer I've ever bought.

10,000 bytes and you were expecting I'm going to have it forever, right? Yeah. No, it's and and I literally remember the disappointment. I mean, it was mixed feelings. I finally about two years after I bought the trashed iMac, I broke down and decided that I playing and the Xbox playing video game is backed by exact and I was willing to buy a gaming TV and I bought my gaming PC for three grand and the gaming PC was about twice as fast as the 10,000 Honor Mac Pro. That said.

I like doing video editing, which is the whole point of the Mac Pro, right? Came out. It's like, Oh, you could do five streams of 4K video at the same time. Yeah. Bullshit. What about the M2? Because that is supposedly. Oh yeah, that's stuff like that. I'm doing audio video editing. Boom. It got. Apple always touts their video editing and I think it works fine, but so it works also quite fine on the PC side.

So anyway, once I realized that the Mac Pro was way overpriced and or conversely underpowered for what it was, I started doing more stuff on the PC and then ended up just selling the Mac Pro because before it completely was worthless. I mean, that makes sense. Yeah, but the Drobo I got specifically to be plugged into the Mac Pro for all that video editing stuff. I was doing. Right? Because it's fast. You don't want that over the network, you want it via upstream.

Thunderbird Thunderbolt was the fastest connection and to and so that's what the Drobo had that it's like perfect combo but it it literally became not the perfect combo within a few years. That makes sense. I bought another Charlie Q nap enclosure which is they you can use them as expansions on your cue nap masses which I do but for 200 bucks. Otherwise it's a raid controlled system that you can plug in via USB. So I bought that as a backup.

But then the like I said, I got the drobo back up and working, but I also bought with all my lightning funds. Thanks to everybody who donates to the shows. I bought a Seagate 18 terabyte backup drive and backed up the whole drobo to it. And I'm sitting here looking at the huge ass drobo with the five drives it. I've looked at this one drive it. I'm like, Yeah, which one makes more sense? I don't. Know. Well, I am completely spoiled at this point because everything is too fucking slow

and everything. It's got my gaming. Ac have three to tear by x4 if as these are which the. Drives are going, give me more data. What do you got? Come on. I'm waiting that there are ten gigs per second. That's the speed of access it needs. Like now with those as added raid because you have three of them. Or No, no, no, they're not great. I just have three of them because I'm almost out of space. Yeah, that's where it gets expensive to keep adding that kind of storage.

Yeah, they're all gone down in price though. What's still expensive is the eight terabyte versions. The eight terabyte versions are still like 700 bucks, but these are reasonably priced. They're 200. But these right around there. Yeah. If anybody needs storage today, I guess today is like World Backup Day or something. So what? Yeah. Like really Newegg and Amazon, everybody's got specials today. I know that. I'll have to check that out.

But anyway, my point is that I remember the, the original Mac i7 with SSD that I got there, the Mac Mini that was like the most expensive Mac mini I ever get. And that thing, I can't remember what exactly would have, but I want to say it did like maybe one and a half gigs per second, something like that. That was impressively fast, full time. So gigabit Ethernet, right? So that's a thousand bits for roughly 125 bags, right? So 125 megs felt like it was pretty quick, you know, gigabit connection.

But then when you when you use it for actually storage of like video or video editing, it feels like molasses, right. Which is why I have Drobo and the Drobo. So I'm gigabit Ethernet on the NAS. I could do 125 megs per second, ideally on the drobo, I could do like 800 megs per second, so like four times to six times faster. Much better on the SSD, that first generation I could do like 1.2 gigs or something. So about one and a half times faster than the drobo so insanely fast.

I thought, and the M1 Mac that I just set up and it's a built in SSD and there, you know, it's Apple's proprietary crap I could do for Digg per second, but on my PC that I've had for two years now and granted it is top tough line gaming, but I could do ten gigs per second. So now the feel slow. Everything's fucking slow right now. I mean it's literally ten gigs versus 125 megs on the network.

Well, there are now ten gig interface cards, so I see a lot of people like wiring their homes now and stuff for this. So because I've got the NAS devices, I've got three of them in the basement, all connected to my main machine up here with one cat, six cable, whatever it is. Your wife let you out of the basement? Yeah, I do leave the basement every now with that. Oh, okay. But that's only one cable and it's only a you know, it's only gigabit Ethernet. Yeah, it's 125 megahertz.

I'm saying it's super fucking slow. So what I need is the I need that ten gig or you need multiple ten gigs. And I am that these times faster than that. I know. My. PC, but sad isn't it. That's but that's the problem is I'm used to that faster speed so it's not that the other stuff became slower it's that in comparison now it just feels anemic. Yes. But I mean because you can stream your 1080 B video over it without a problem.

I don't know if you could do what the 4K needs, but for what I need in five. Yeah. 4K at most is going to be about 20 megs. It's not so. So you could do like four 4K streams on the one gig Ethernet. Now if you had a ten gig and I keep looking at new routers all the way, I don't know what to get. Down, down in price. If you want to get a ten gig, let me know. But I'm. I just bought one of them. He's raving about it. I'm not really in the market.

I don't really need one, but I can find out from him which one he got. If you want to. Use a lot of the routers now, it's like you all you need to have your Belkin account or your, you know, whatever links this and you have to log in. It's like, no, I want I want to go for that software. Exactly. The I really should get something. You don't want the NSA to be the main administrator router.

Right. Exactly. And I'd like a 2.5 gig LAN account because now the you know, Comcast is slowly creeping up over one gig. I think they're allegedly giving us like 1.2 now. I really. Yeah. Adam I was talking to him the other day. He said that they just are getting fiber put in and it's supposed to do two and a half gig. Oh, see, that's nice. Yeah, that'll be awesome. That's right.

Bonded nics that, that you need to have a couple you put them then you can run a couple of lines down to the basement then I could have a nice fat. Yeah but but why would you want to do that when you could just get a turnkey. Yeah. Well you only need 110 gig. That's true. Yeah. I mean that's the thing because that's why I used to do as I have the switch with bandwidth from here. That's the way the bank pro is actually set up. Is like, yeah, that's the latest devices I have.

You could do the, the bonded. Yeah. And that's what I because I use all synology stuff and I actually just switched covered in texture. Hey why just grab your bed you everybody. Yeah I just picked up a synology router as well because I've had a synology now for, I mean like I've have three of them, but I've had them forever. Probably the best NAS software out there. The interface is awesome. It really is like just having your own virtual server running out there.

But I decided to check out their router as well and I've been super happy with the router that I've been running a d-link and it was whatever the d-link that line was like six years ago. So definitely time for a new router, but doing been running super good the whole time. So I set this thing up and it is I've had it for about two weeks now. I think running a new one, it definitely does a better job of reaching the entire house with just a single point, which is surprising.

It has the apex connection or whatever speed that the six hertz channel. So for if you have a one of the newer MAC devices and I'm sure your DC stuff has that as well, it'll use the six gigahertz wi fi channel as well, which I'll give you faster speeds it actually does over a gig in wi fi. Now that's while. Like not theoretical but on my computer. Yeah, I actually. Work as that. Yeah it, I think I was doing about 1.3 gigs over Wi-Fi.

It's like faster than I can get crap over the internet right now. It's it is it's faster than like crap through my old one gig Ethernet connection. I am running it link this AC 3200 that I got in July of 2017. So it's about that time. Yeah, it's about same age. Yeah, about five years old. Six years old. But I've been very happy. I mean, the thing that these guys do really well is that they don't just put in a little gimp bios in there.

They, they put a real operating system on these devices, on the NAS, even on the router. And so you've got a lot more functionality. It's expandable. You can install other packages on there and you have, if you want, a lot more gradient ability for doing things like, you know, packet prioritization and traffic optimization. And then you can have security checks, you can do virus checks right on the router or stuff going through and it's got the the horsepower to handle it all.

Now, it's not a cheap router, right? I think it was 300 bucks. But then again all the act browsers, they're all right in that price range these days anyway. Right. And it makes more sense to have that kind of power there because I'm always seemingly running through a VPN and I do that just on the local computer because the router, yeah, it would bog it down even though it was a decent router six years ago. Having that ability to do that. The I mean this is special for.

And it's kind of a full VPN server like any style of VPN, you can set that up as the endpoint. And then you could just go through your home system. It's great. Yeah, I mean you're using the VPN backwards and we found that conversation. But for people that want a VPN back home, which is when I travel, I like, I've got my a lot of systems set up to only work if I connect from home. Like if I want to check my bitcoin balance online, I can only do that from my. How many billions are you up to?

Which I wish, but I can only do it through my home PC And so it's tied to the IP address I'm on. So I have the VPN from my phone back to the house to be able to then check on that on the phone. The speeds though, I mean, I know I'm going the wrong way, but the nordvpn, the speeds are quite often into these seven or 800 megabits per second. And my gigabit connection. So yeah, I know you're losing that a little bit.

More but but like that but you can also said the router up as the outgoing so you can literally make your connection to the VPN from the router and then every device in your house is going through the VPN, right. The way you're using it. Yeah. You're doing. Any. I don't see a point to it, but yeah, you could. Well, the main point is that I've never gotten into a DMCA letter yet. To say that's it. For what though? I mean DMCA for doing what? Lots and lots and lots of downloading.

Oh, yeah, I guess. Yeah. Yeah. So I don't do any of that stuff. So yeah, you definitely have I guess more of a need for that. But I just. Well that's what everybody's afraid of that this new generally is, I think they're calling it the Restrict Act. Which is, oh my God, it's horrible. Have you read it? I have not read it. I've heard some of the the talking points on it. And yes, it sounds it sounds like something. Exactly. Yeah. VPNs are banned. They're literally banned.

Because they have no idea what they're saying. You know, this is. Why all they know what they're saying. I don't think they do, because you hear the questions that these people ask when they get tech folk in the they come in and do a, you know, a Q&A for them to write them over the coals? The questions they ask are like, you have no idea how the technology works, you know, which is why it's funny what everybody's like, Oh my God, they're going to ban Tik tok.

Then what? It's like, Well, how are they going to do that? I mean, Tic Tacs are already on your phone. All right? And even if they are somehow if they could, what they would have to do is get your ISP to be able to block the tic tac service. That would be the only way they would be able to do it, because otherwise you're not going to do it as an individual. And even if your ISP that does block tic tac. Well, it's worth a pretty good job of blocking RTT. Wouldn't that really?

Because that's where VPNs come in again. Yeah, Yeah, you could do with the VPN, but, but they're banning VPN so it's either. They don't even know what a VPN is and I don't think they know what they're saying because that I think would throw people into a tizzy when it's like, well, we're not blocking this because it's bad. This again comes down to the whole gut argument, which is, well, we're we're, we're going to make a tool illegal because you can't do something bad with it.

MM It makes zero sense. I mean, really, we should have had in the Constitution written in all about VPNs, but they didn't know about the fact that. Yeah, yeah. You know, this is the same kind of thing like you have the right to your own anonymity and privacy and if you want to route all of your traffic through Beijing, hey, that's your bet. You could do it. Uh, yeah, except that the government doesn't want you doing that.

And all of the tic tac stuff is hilarious when people think they know what the problem is there. And, you know, again, as libertarian or whatever you want to call it now, I'm people can do whatever the hell they want, but it's like I just would point out, no, what you're doing, know what your kids are doing more than anything else. Oh, yeah, I see. The biggest issue with Tik Tok is one of control, and that would be the biggest thing for me.

It's like because you realize I didn't even understand this until a couple of years ago or so when Adam Cory over on the No Agenda show was talking about how the trends are now that people, when they're looking for information on something, we're going to and I don't even know if it was Tik Tok quite then or if it was the Twitter or whatever. But this is where they go for news. Instead of going and looking at it, they're like they go to Tik Tok Now for news.

And if you go to Tik Tok for news and Tik Tok is being controlled by the Chinese government, I understand the propaganda power of that tool. If all of the children in the United States are using a Chinese product that can give them any message they want into their little mush brains, that's the biggest problem of tic tac, not anything else. Who cares what you know, your little kids going to dancing on it. Great. If a stalker shows up with a gun, who cares?

That's your problem as a parent for not understanding what your kid is sharing online because there's a lot of kids that overshare now. Oh, yeah, They're oversharing, I think is a you know, it changes over time. Like what that actually means. Well, this is true because we didn't have the ability to take selfies. Can you imagine how much more trouble we would have gotten into as high schoolers if the Internet was around? I remember The Onion back when it was still funny, like 20 years ago.

Well, it's probably not that long. It's probably 15 years ago. They had an article that was about a fire breaking out in the dorm and it was, you know, like set up like a normal news story article. But the funny bit, the bit that makes a an Onion story was that they had they said that by reviewing the selfies from the dorm party event, they were able to reconstruct exactly what happened because they had 16,000 selfies taken during a one and a half hour period. Now that's true.

And the and they're literally showing a video that looks like it's moving about 15 frames per second from multiple angles, showing this fire breaking out and growing bigger again in every in every single frame. There was a different person in the frame. Right. But you could still see the fire break, you know, almost in real time. I mean, it was like slow motion video like you would have from 1920s or something.

But they were poking fun at the fact that this whole crazy generation, which incidentally right now is in their late thirties, that whole crazy generation was so obsessed with taking pictures of themselves. That is exact. Then they moved into. The new one too full on video of yourself 24 hours a day. And I think there is a certain amount of data that is being gleaned from being able to see what is in those videos that are being posted and all of that.

And I think that for advertisers is great because if you can go, Hey, look, little Susie has this brand shoe on her bed, well, then of course we want to advertise our shoe brand to her or whatever. So that data is kind of interesting. But the technology, when it comes to the cameras, the wife just got because she wanted the Apple Watch because I had an Apple Watch. So of course, she had to have the Apple Watch. When we have an Apple Watch, of course, you have to have an iPhone.

So got the 14, not the Macs, but the 14 pro, which has the same camera as the 14 Macs. And I will say the amount of resolution and the quality of the cameras and these things are scary good. It's actually not changed in about ten years. It's still the same resolution. We'll take up with 48 megabit pixels. It's 16. Now. The new ones are not. No, it's not. It's extrapolating those out. Yeah. Mm hmm. Yeah. Which I could believe, although I will say I've been playing around with. But what?

Let me just finish the thought or move on there. So it is 16 megapixel sensor. They do have an extrapolation algorithm that basically it's taking each color, which there's, you know, four pixels per one pixel to come up with a full color pixel and then using the the detail of that particular color to sort of extrapolate into what that image is.

It's a similar thing that cameras have done for the last decade to have a high resolution mode, which you effectively have black and white information that gets you 48, but you're extrapolating the color on top of with which you only have 15 of. That makes it so. That's. Polarizing it.

Yeah. Yeah. So you're colorizing it at a lower resolution then so your edges should be nice and sharp, but the color could technically be off by one pixel, but that visually looks better than what you get with the hundred megapixel camera on Samsung. There's I saw I watched the video that a review recently and whatever the Samsung equivalent to the iPhone version of the pixel I guess or something.

Yeah then they were comparing it to the last version of the Samsung and the last version was better with the camera by far it's seen. The Samsung ones. Yes. That the the previous version whatever the number they tend to be or whatever. Yeah. The camera was better. But I Apple's mostly been focusing on improving the quality not increasing the resolution.

Well it's interesting to see what they can do because I've been testing out Topaz put out an AI version a photo that really Ed but a photo restore and a video store and it's absolutely amazing what these are do what my wife had some old photos of her grandfather We scan those in and of course it's faded and crappy and fixed. Yeah I mean crazy. Yeah. Being able to increase mainly for being able to blow up small things without losing the resolution. But with the video stuff you can take old.

I had some old DVD, you know, that had been ripped years ago with the old 480 interlaced, which is what television was back then. And you could run it through this II and it would get rid of the interlacing. It would up braid it to whether you wanted 720 1080 4k. And the quality was surprising because, you know, in the olden days if you just took it old for 80 original image and blew that up to HD, it still look like crap. Yeah. Yeah. Well, this is not perfect by any stretch of the imagination.

It is eons better than not having. Much better interpolating the resolution. Yes. Now it's. Like it's. Yeah, there were some, there was some. I remember plug ins for Photoshop though. It wasn't from Adobe, it was third parties. It remember with brand. But I remember they were not cheap.

They were a couple of hundred bucks for a plug in that that was specifically made to create posters that would take your regular resolution images and then blow them up to poster size while minimizing the loss of resolution visually. And they did a pretty damned good job. I mean, if that it's never going to be identical. But the thing that I love to do and this is something that's actually Samsung cameras, this is another hilarious thing with Samsung.

So if you look at the ads for the new current generation, Samsung top line phone, they have a picture of the moon that it captures, which looks frickin amazing. It's like it looks like you're looking through a telescope, but you're looking just from your phone. So this is what they discovered when these guys did the review and they were doing the video is that when you take a photo of the moon on that Samsung, it's actually substituting a picture of the real moon.

And they're free now for. Yep. That's crazy. Yup. So that's why. We have to recognize is the theme. Of their days. Is the scene of the moon and when it detects what appears to be a low res version of the moon because you're using a frickin phone if it sticks in there, a three shot version of what the moon should look like.

Given all the other parameters like size and light and all the other crap, that's what you end up getting is a a moon that was effectively shot from a radio station at a telescope sitting in Hawaii or something at super high resolution. And you're getting it stuck in your photo with the moon. How do we get an idea? But it's not really a photo. I mean, how how do we get Taylor Swift photo ID with that it right there.

Exactly. Exactly. The blow there was what actually called blow up the filters that you could add. And I've used those for years and I use those are the of the last day I finally went you know what what's the worst that could happen that Costco when they were discontinuing their photo and poster servers. Oh yeah yeah I remember you mentioned that. I ordered a bunch of mugs for the rock and roll pre-show, and I ordered like 15 posters of Taylor Swift, a couple of Victoria's Secret models.

And I that. Surprise that they let you print the poster of Taylor Swift. Yeah, I was too, because I figured they'd be like, Yeah, but it was like the literally the last day. So these people that were. Out there don't give a shit. Exactly, I guess. Yeah, I. Have that happen. Stick with me. It wasn't Taylor Swift, but it was somebody that was clearly famous that I had sent in to get a a canvas print printed.

And it came back saying that they needed to get the model released for it before they could print up. Is they recognize the person. Yeah, because the somebody recognized the person. They're like, yeah, we're not going to make shit for you, but you don't Wraith, do you? Like you bastards? Yeah, exactly. You don't know who I am. So I went and bought my own printer. The bright. Right? And then fuck you, I can print my own fans.

So, you know, if I thought I could actually sell enough prints of things on the, you know, eBay or wherever, I'd buy one too, because I've always been interested in that. Big format. Printing. But they're paying, right? They're paying. They're really are. And I really thought the ad there's nothing like that. It's awesome to have. And if Etsy was more popular back when I had my printer, I probably would have sold a lot more of that. That would have been your exit strategy right there.

Yeah, Well, I mean, also, even though I did sell over a hundred grand worth of prints without. Etsy, literally impressive. I did. Okay. You were a decent photographer. One for 30 years. Yeah. So. So why are you doing that anymore? Oh, I. Sold off all my gear. I, I, I took the opportunity to get out of that racket when the the format changed.

So basically, you know, I started with Dom right now, and I was very quick to upgrade to digital because I was like, I have no fondness for the old pain in the house shit. We used to have to be right. Because if you drive like a wedding photo or something, you want the ability to. Yeah, adjust. You want the cost per image just dropped to almost nothing with digital. Basically just amortizing your film. Cameras. In. Everybody's phones.

This has that ruined the professional photographers life at this point. Yet. Um. You know I think it to some extent it's probably made people lower their prices but it will as time goes on because the expectation will be less and less that you need a professional photographer. Right. But I was I was always just a fine art photographer. I was not a like a wedding or something photographer.

So what I shot stuff that I liked and then I printed it in large format because that was one of the things I remember. You get a you're like Ansel Adams and you're going into nature or you're. Yeah. Or buildings, a lot of land, a lot of seascapes, not just landscapes, which. People will buy that shit like, Oh, I've got an office in Chicago. So yeah, they were.

And what I figured out a long time ago was that the same image on an eight by ten has to be incredibly good for somebody to just buy at all. Like forget about buying it for an expensive price, but at all. But that image could be way less good. It still has to be good enough, but way less impressive if it's also three feet by two feet. Right, Because they're looking for something to cover the wall. Yeah, exactly.

And so I've always just admitted the truth, which is that large format photographs are just expensive wallpaper. True. And you're selling the wallpaper for about 100 bucks a foot And it's so. You know there's people you look at it's it's. Art. Yeah, it is art. And I've got lots of art in my house they've got the lot of my own large format prints. I've got like I think my biggest is five feet by three feet.

Nice white printed I mean nothing that size but whatever the size is bigger than the eight by the 11 by whatever a bunch of the stuff. When we were in Ireland that I took photos. Of, Oh yeah, there's some beautiful vistas there. You know, and it's and it's great. Certain things I took into Photoshop and made a black and white and you know, you could jack up the contrast to give it that. And that's where there's a lot of the progress has really been on the PC side, not on the cameras.

I mean there's been some progress on cameras but a lot of progress in in the software. And it's like you could just press a button. They go, oh, let's make it look like this let's let's make it look like that. And there's now beyond Photoshop. There was another and one I think makes a. Yeah we saved the they've always that's why you see is they always had the best tools for actual photographers.

Oh it's crazy now where you could go in and they work out the example, you know they were showing photos in like Venice where you could go in it, just click the water and it would, you know, do a really nice job masking just the water. If you click the buildings just the buildings. So you could adjust the individual things in the photo without adjusting the whole picture. That was always the hardest thing you had to be able to. Baskett Yeah, and now it just magically does it.

Photoshop really has not changed the way that you do things for 25 years. No, it's very similar. The amount of money they have paid for Photoshop over the last 30 years is insane. I remember when Photoshop came out in 88. I think. Yeah, 1988. So it's been around for a long time. And when it first came out, if it could, it ran on black and white Macs, but it could do color printing. And it was really weird because then you like get textures on the screen that represent colors. That's weird.

And then when the first color Mac came out, the Mac too, then everything started kind of falling into place. But that was one of the I remember seeing Photoshop I think I first saw in SIGGRAPH 88 SIGGRAPH, the big graphics expo for, you know, design photography like and stuff. And it was it was cool what it did, but it wasn't really like earth shattering. They also were one of the first guys to use virtual memory, like their own virtual memory.

So you could open up images much larger than the amount of memory you have in a computer, Right? Which was vital. Yeah. Back in the day. Because you were talking with. Yeah. Were they? But the only way to get those images back then in the late eighties, early nineties, the only way you get a really high res image was if you did a film scan.

So if you went to a service bureau and I worked at one of those back in the nineties, I worked at a, a Free Press Service bureau, then you could get a drum scan of your film and that might be which these days is kind of ridiculous, but it might be like, yeah, it probably was about HD resolution. I don't think it ever got to 4K level, no. So even what used to be considered like really high quality, high res stuff was basically like 2000 by 1200 pixels. And now it's like, that's it.

I mean, yeah now with Sony that I think Sony right now is leading the field, their highest resolution camera, which is the something if marked free, I believe I've got the mach one of that still I so that camera at that forever but that's right around 100 Meg Hunter megapixel I had the the last high res camera that I had which I sold a few years back was the Canon five, the S mark three I believe I can't remember the name, but I think that's what it was. And that was just over 50 megapixels.

So Sony about double that. The the human eyeball is less than that. Well until we get our implants. So we get our That's correct. So once the implants command, then we'll be able to finally take photos that we can see. But right now, the only way that you can see those photos is by printing them large format and then coming close to the actual physical image and going, Oh yeah, I can see the pixel four. Yeah, except your eyeball isn't five feet wide. I first got to Photoshop I think in like 95.

Mm hmm. I remember buying it. That's what I was doing. Work for it. It had a Venus de Milo and the. May have. Ever. I think that was about mid-nineteenth. Back when you had to go buy it in a store. Yeah. And it was, I think, like 700 bucks if I remember right. I don't think it was quite that much. I think it was either 599 or 6.5. Maybe it was 625. I was thinking 699, maybe. It was 25. Yeah. That's what I was doing. All the work for those Playboy playmates and racking on all the money.

Yeah. Yeah. Well, you need Photoshop. You do need Photoshop if they got to look at. It, Got it. Gets the Photoshop and it. Take all those pimples out. That will now it's Yeah the air does it. Absolutely it looks at the image and it's like this is skin. Yeah. And now we're tying it all together because this is what I was talking about. Specialized air systems versus general. I excel tell you where the eyes are and it can do things to the eyes.

It only wants to do to the eyes, the lips or things that only wants to do to the lips, the teeth. That's all recognizing the details. I have the really what have been the last generation before digital cameras popped up? It was a canon, a something too, I think. I can't remember the exact name, but it was basically it was a film camera, but it was like a pro film camera.

And that camera was the first camera, I believe, and this would have been like late eighties first camera that had a eye tracking in the viewfinder. So it would actually have a little diode be flashing into your eyeball to see where your iris was compared to the like it was pointing straight or left, right, top, up, down and then it would use that information and I think it would literally was just like one of nine positions.

I don't think it was anything super fancy, but it would use that position of your iris determined of where it should focus the autofocus. Well, that's interesting. So it was basically I controlled focus on that camera and that was so high tech back. You know what, 35 years ago, extremely high tech boom time. That was a neat feature.

But much like brand new features, anytime they come up when they're brand new, there was a lot of false positives and then you'd have to be moving your eyeball purposefully to force it to go to where you wanted, right?

And eventually I did what I think most people did with regards to turn off that system, because it's faster for me to manually focus because I know what the fuck I'm doing, or even if not manually focus, sort of a quasi manual focus, which is use the center, focus out of focus, but out of focus for center only and then point towards where you want to focus and then. Move the.

Camera, keep holding the button down, move the camera to adjust what you're actually want in the frame and then press the button fully down to take the shot, which I think is why they stopped having that feature in the camera. They they reintroduced that, I think in one of the one of the last cameras that I had as well had that functionality where it was a control focus, but it was much better. They had many more points.

But back in the eighties, like that was super impressive to have something that monitors your eyeball. Well, yeah, I have that. Go ahead. Some make sense of some does it when it comes to the technology like it makes sense with the web based cameras that have a much wider field of view that you're actually using. And if you're moving around, it'll follow you. You know, but it's only moving the the camera itself is staying still. It's just moving where you are in the frame.

And they've got one where the camera moves to Oh yeah. With the yeah. The automatic and all that. Stuff that much more expensive. Maybe like 5060 bucks more. That's for that with a video podcaster who wants to move around the room. Move around the room? Yeah. If you're in the standing diff, that would be more useful. I think. But now I have the Toby AI tracker, which literally is looking at both my face and I my eyeballs 60 times a second and then providing that input into mostly video games.

But that'd be up to you. I mean I can also I can also use them with windows itself. Like if I hit all tab, you know how it shows you all your windows, right? I literally just need to move my eyeballs and whatever thing I'm looking at is what's selected. That is so freaky. So it's the same technology that like handicapped people use when they can't move shit with their hands. Right? Except, you know, I can still use my hand, but. But yeah, it's very good. And it's 100% accurate.

It knows exactly what you're looking at. Another mode that it has that I haven't used, but I always kind of thought it'd be fun to use on the stream is eye tracking that overlays on your screen so I could be playing a game or watching a video or something and then you would see little circles of what my eyeballs are actually looking at. Oh, nice. Where the focus is. Yeah, where the focus is like what is in the middle of my center of frame in my eyeballs. And that's kind of a neat thing.

I mean, it's kind of a gimmick, right? It doesn't really do anything for me. But with that technology from and what Tobi actually is in the business of doing is creating that type of interface for the military where it makes no more sense and also for purposes for things like when they do focus groups, product valuations or focus groups to review new movies that are about to come out, they'll actually use these devices to track what people are looking at and that'll tell them how better to.

Then the eye tells them what to do and grab the attention. Exactly. You got to tweak that. I Oh yeah. Well, here is very good at being free. And when you have somebody that knows what they're doing, you can make products that are definitely useful. You know, the question will become, as we've talked about in the past, yeah, just how much will it replace? Yeah, and I, I think it's certainly possible that that to log into the future people will be reading stories written by AI and have dealt.

With what they while they're out there already and listening to music that's done by either watching videos done by their music is a little funny of images. Yes. Done by. Oh yeah. Is the music I think is the easiest because there is a repetitive nature. Yeah. That you know, all you need is a beat. You could throw some stuff at. Sure. These stories are a little harder if you get details wrong, you can't accidentally forget something.

But that's the beauty of it, is that the computer doesn't have any concept of forgetting true humans do, which is we're basically working with partially damaged memory systems at all times. But I will say trying to write longer stories than I have in the past, the details are the hardest thing, where it's like, Wait, where did this? What do they do back? George R.R. Martin as two people that he's talked about, his job is just tracking consistency. Yeah, you have to fact like, is this right?

Did I remember this right? You know, you can't say this character has never done X, Y, and Z. If they did X, Y, and Z three years ago. Exactly. And with an AA system, that's exactly what it's good at, is remembering everything at all times. It is the ambition. The author literally. Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. So I think it's absolutely a it's unstoppable. This whole idea of like oh we should not work on it from like, yeah, good luck with it.

So basically what you're saying is, hey, we'd prefer if China and Russia on this instead of us for a while and then we'll be catching up. Stop. Right. Yeah. And they're able to monetize it. I mean, this is the intriguing thing. It's like you can't slow down in technology. I'll tell you another thing. Now, this is getting a slightly off the air topic, but it's connected to China. China, I mean, I didn't realize until yesterday.

So right now most people are kind of vaguely aware that there's a a space launch happening almost every day. It's like every day, but it's about every three days. So it's it's very frequent because they're just dumping a bunch of their their StarLink satellites up. They're, you know, occasionally they'll do deliveries for other companies, but mostly they're kind of tired themselves.

But China to put up their space station in the course of three years, which you know, is super fast compared to the speed with which the International Space Station was put together. They're scheduled to have 200 rocket launches next year, which gets them pretty close to space X speed of launch of. It is a lot of launches. That's a lot of launches for a country that's much younger and newer. The space game, India's supposed to have 12. So, you know.

Soon we're going to have a lot of things orbiting the planet. Oh, it's going to it's going to get crazy. And the potential more crap goes goes up there, the more potential you have for a what is the call of that like hyper round. I can't remember if one of the famous dudes names event, which is basically a chain reaction of debris coming in contact with satellites, creating more debris, coming in to more satellites, creating more debris, and just creating a big junk field up there.

With. That. No satellites that would help keep the sun's rays from hitting the earth. So that would blow global warming in reverse. It it had. Something like that. It's I'm sure somebody can remember.

I just it's not a caper event, but I thought it started with a K. But yeah, the idea that there there is a certain critical point you get to where the the wrong number of actual satellites is so high that the chance of a contact between two of them becomes not just theoretical but actually practical. And when that happens. The term you're looking for is Kessler syndrome. Kessler There we go. Kessler And that caper.

Kessler syndrome. Yeah. So what you end up with is, well, a chain reaction where the debris causes more and more debris every time it hits something. You know that the good news is that space is fucking big. And so that may be the opening right there. Well, it's true. It is fucking big.

So you have even though you have a lot of satellites, I don't remember how many off top of my head right now, but I think I think right now we're tracking somewhere in the neighborhood of 60 or 70,000 objects that are in orbit. Some of them are satellites, some of them are debris pieces. But it's quite a bit. But, you know, with space X wanting to have 45,000 of their own objects up there, Yeah, I think that's the end game for them with the satellites. That's that's a lot.

Now they're also not necessarily all in the same orbit. In fact they're all in slightly different orbits which is good, less chance of being killing each other. But still the odds are that there will be more progressively more impact damage on anything that's launched, just unavoidable. Just because there's more crap floating around, even if it's small, little tiny size, like, you know, something the size of a screw or nut. Space debris is real.

I mean, the more stuff you put up there, it's going to happen. Yeah. And so the new Russian space station will be at the 400 kilometers where the the ISIS is between three and 350. It's it's always fun when it's flying at 333. That magic number does show up a lot. So but yeah, we're going to have the Chinese, the Russian and then the the whatever the American replacement is for the ISF.

India wants to put something up there, but I think it's fairly small, but they do want their own permanent station up and everybody does. Weren't we supposed to just be one human race all working together? Come on. Well, I think that that idea of a one human race was very much based around American exceptionalism and how we're going to do everything as America. And then, you know, all the little people will just they'll be gifts that would make sense.

And we kind of did that with the and then we told China, fuck off, we're not going to allow you up here because you're still our ship that. Everything broke down. And then China said, well, fuck you, break all your shit, we're going to steal it anyway, and now we're going to make our own right. It all starts there anyway. I don't think that we realize this yet. But I think it starts a lot of times in California. But it sure as hell gets manufactured in China. Right?

And they can add in whatever the hell they want. Yeah. And even like chips is a big thing. Remember, the chips are shortages with cars. So I just read an article the best. A Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. I just read an article in one of the chip magazines they're talking about. Oh, apparently there's a chip shortage right now for Patriot missiles. Like, we can't make them because there's not enough chips available. So we got the missiles, but we just don't have the brain.

Well, we get the explosive bits just fine. Yeah, we just don't have the chips that are made in China, China. China, China. Don't worry. Donald Trump's going to bring us all back to greatness. What about a prison right? Mm hmm. That's not going to happen. Everybody knows this is a big joke. Is totally going to be a perp walk. I can't wait to see that little wall.

It's the information of that already is intriguing, being that the Secret Service has already made it clear that they're not leaving his side through any of this. So they're going to be in prison with them. To be like, whatever you think, you do it. Well, New York doesn't hold anybody. So, I mean, it's really they'll bring them. In as well. But whoa, whoa, whoa, hold up. What don't you. Know about New York?

They hope New. York holds everybody convicted of a hate rap and they sure as hell seems like a hate crime when you're paying a hooker. Oh, yeah. That obviously, I think that's very clear. And I'm still not clear on who exactly was in New York when this happened. I think it must have been Trump's lawyer because Trump was in New York. Right. And the hooker sure as hell wasn't. In New York. New York. But you know who. Is in New York? Maybe the payments happened through a bank in New York.

I don't know. There's something that from everything you hear, it's the statute of limitations is long over. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Well, it's over on the actual crime, but it's not over. And the suppression of the crime. Oh, of course there's that. That's how they get around that in 30 counts. I mean, Jesus, they're throwing the book at him. So why is it a 33 count? That's what I want to know. Right. Well, if it was 33 counts, we'd know if they.

The fact that even Ron DeSantis is like, yeah, I wouldn't extradite, I will stay out of that. No, I well, Ron's getting some advice from people. It's like, dude this is your moment to come across as being a lot more what's the word. Rational. Yeah, right. Well, rational and just. Adult. Like be the Yeah, the be the adult in the room like you can't you can't use the fact the Dems are pushing against Trump to them pile on top of that against Trump like you have. To look like.

You're pro-Trump first and foremost but then between the two of them, obviously he's by himself. He is. But due to his age, it's an interesting thing because O'Reilly was down visiting Trump like a week or two ago. Firstly with because they're buddies, they go back like 30 years and he asks about the possibility of Trump DeSantis being a ticket. And Trump seemed to be intrigued by that, where a lot of people would think, well, no, they're they're going after each other so badly right now.

Although then again, if you go back to Kamala Harris, she called Joe Biden a racist. Did that was not the ticket by Wiley. I'm not saying it was a wrong thing to say, but even, you know, there's that kind of infighting that it's like you want to be on the ticket. Oh, yeah. So it would be it would be interesting to me because DeSantis and Trump on a ticket together, I think is a sure winner no matter what anybody thinks about any of that would be a good thing.

Certainly bring the two biggest factions together. Yes. And then now. I would prefer that it be DeSantis and not Trump. I would agree. Because I don't want that extra baggage at this point. Yeah, but putting the two of them together, if that is a sure fire winner that this antis understands, there have been a decent amount of vice presidents who just rolled right on into their own presidential term. So well. Not so many lately, though. It has changed a little bit.

What was the last George W Bush the elder? Yeah. Mm hmm. You know, I guess because. Well, it was the last one. Then again, I guess you look. At unless you count Joe after Barack Obama with a. All right. I mean, that was it. He did roll right in a role. He had to work for it for sure. Yeah, he had to. Running because Trump said Saturday ran against Trump. If he had to run, he had to hide in the basement while the rest of the world went negative. Are that Donald J. Trump?

Yeah, but this concept is so ridiculous. Again, whether you like Trump or not, and I know a lot of people don't. My food just showed up. Looking out, You need to have some lunch or you're none. Of the grocery. My grocery delivery. The concept that we have a president, the highest office of the land. Most people consider the United States the leader of the free world. I mean I know that's questionable lately, but this is Banana Republic tactics.

When you go after an ex-president for things that are not or read this in any way, shape or form. You look at Hillary Clinton, she paid for there's no question through her lawyers. Firm. Paid for the fake Russian dossier she was. Fined for and sent. But no charges were brought. No grand jury came out? No. So I after a guy that paid a high profile hooker or whatever she is, you know, it's ridiculous. I think the documentary Idiocracy is explains all this very well. So everybody should watch that.

Yeah, everybody should watch that because it is really it's a documentary from the future and it talks about exactly where we are and where things going. And, you know, the presidency is a popularity contest. The based purely around people's emotional state towards a particular candidate. And so not only does the most popular person need to be the president, but ultimately it's the the presidential election as a reality TV show. And what's a reality TV show without some mudslinging?

True. And some fake controversy in there for good measure. And that's never going to change now that we have no the Internet, the communication systems we have, that's never going to change. Well, don't say never, because once the nukes start flying, a lot of the Internet goes away. Yeah, once the Internet goes down, here's the thing. The Internet will not go down. It's it's to survive a nuclear attack. Well, here in the U.S., I mean, it was literally from the get go. One example.

Which is why you. Well, here's what is going. To be on. The Internet. Yeah, here's what is going to go down. All the data centers that's sitting on the Internet. Yeah, because I can pretty much tell you that way. Amazon servers are not going to be running ever. Sounds like a go. Yeah. Amazon servers are at this point the target. Interesting. Yeah. So you'll have internet. You won't have electricity, but you'll have the Internet. Right? Is that really helpful, though? Well, not really.

I mean, uh, I think a lot of people are going to die very quickly because they're not capable of sort of surviving. They're capable of self-sustaining for a week or two with nothing, with no power, no heat, no air conditioning, no communication, no internet. The police departments are going to all leave immediately. They're going to stick around to deal with the mess. They're everybody's going to quit, go home and then just protect their own home.

So what you're going to have are the people like, you know, organized into gangs and the looting mob. Yeah, Mad Max, baby. They're going, Yeah, absolutely. But without gasoline, because you can't run gas pumps without electricity. And we're getting rid of all the gasoline. Yeah, well, you can't run them without electricity and electricity. Got. So it's it's going to be challenging, I think, for an awful lot of people just to survive two weeks without food and water. That makes sense.

Yeah, that makes sense because, you know, again, you had people there with your power without you didn't realize your gas stoves could be lit with a batch. Oh, there was tons of people. Most people did not use their stoves at all during the power outage here. I think there's a handful of us that that did. But like I was also telling you not to use the stove because your your detector doesn't work. Go ahead to smoke. You're sorry, smoke detectors, smoke detector doesn't work.

So they don't want you lighting a fire north. What do you mean? It's either nine volt battery. It's fine. Mm hmm. Least the older ones are. Yeah, the new ones are. They have batteries, but they're. They're not even batteries. They're. They're like, maybe they're batteries, but they're very limited use. I mean, they're not. They're not going to run for two weeks without the right. They're just the. Batteries mainly run off your house current. Yeah.

The batteries are basically there so that when you push the button because it cuts off the power and it makes noise to say, yep, battery still has some voltage. Base. That doesn't do a whole lot beyond that. So yeah, you can't go to the store if all stores are closed. There's no phones that work. There's no cheap. There probably isn't any water because the water use electric pumps. Now. The pump, the water. Electricity with you have a generator that's already.

Yeah. If you have a generator, I mean, like Adam's got a generator in his house and he's got his own. However much fuel you have. And he's got his own. Well, but you. Need a lot of fuel to go. Uh, you definitely need a substantial amount of fuel. Now, having solar would help, so having batteries would help, but, you know, a generator is definitely going to use up quite a bit of fuel. But I would hope he's got at least two weeks worth. Is that's where you're going with the Duke. Start quiet.

Got two weeks worth of fuel, but I don't have much more than two weeks worth. Feel like the time you. Have a limited time for you to find a way to take over the world or whatever resources you share. Take over the world. Good luck on that. Huh? Uh, you got enough guns. I've heard you have too many guns. So either you go. Yeah, I'm. Yeah. I don't even want to talk about that. I kind of went little or. Or the like. Recently there was additions, or. I just kept buying guns.

I bet you stopped buying bitcoins and you didn't have something more valuable. Oh, by the way, your bitcoin is useless because there's no electricity. Yeah, Yeah, but you could say it's right here in my little wallet. There is. Yeah. It'll still be there When you're dead. You'll still be in the ground. Not to worry about him. Yeah, nothing to worry about, but see if you got guns and ammo in good shape. Well, you're in better shape.

You still don't have electricity or food or communication or. What are those things necessary, really? People lived without them for a long time. But yeah, they became. Medications. God. Yeah. Yeah. Medications, refrigeration, all that stuff. Yeah. You better have a big garden. Gardens are good. Yeah, but I think what'll happen is probably the first two weeks will take out a quarter of the population. Well, yeah, that would make sense. So you'll have a lot of corpses.

They'll have contaminated water. You have to learn how to burn those corpses for fuel. Yeah. Yeah. They don't burn all that. Well, there's too much water in them, damn it. Uh huh. I guess you just have to get rid of them in another way. Send them into space. Well, we have the ability to still launch the satellites. Launch them into space. That's exactly right. Yeah. No, a lot of interest. A lot of these things just become a lot more.

Because even even if you're not anywhere near any actual nukes and you're not worried about the radiation for whatever reason. And by the way, these could be very similar events, even if they the only nukes that explode are in the air. And essentially, as EMP is creating EMP with them instead of hitting the ground, because EMP is like you use a nuke to create an MP, you're detonating it in an atmosphere. You're creating way, way, way less radioactive material.

So there's very little radioactive danger from an empty nuke. But Your infrastructure is going to be damaged. Well, now, after the nuke start flying, will I be able to fuck Adriana Lima? Well, do you have one in the basement real quick? Oh, I'd like this. That would be the. The important bit is to get her to the basement before the new start way. Yes, You've got to be prepared. Yeah. Yeah. Then you can fuck whatever you have. Adriano Unrelenting is not advocating no kidnap supermodels, are you?

If you're suggesting that Adriana Lima come to your house because she's starving and that your house is the only place with food, maybe that's the way to get her right. Through to having food. I think. I think trade of food and water for sex going to happen within the first week. Oh, probably within the first 35 minutes. It could be. Could be, Yeah, exactly. Because as people that have me, that's the thing. It's like all your money is in the bank.

So that's all getting all of your bitcoins down, all your water is gone, all your food is gone. But you've got no water. There's no pressure in the lines. So you can't bring any water to your house, food, Whatever's in your fridge is what you got forever. So better make you laugh. When you can get to that grocery store for one last binge. You can break into the grocery store, but you're going to have to do that day one, right? Because their power is out.

So they're all the refrigerator stuff. Stuff's going to start going. But yeah. You just can't refrigerated stuff beyond a day or two. You're done. Yeah, well, I mean, some stuff like you could take cheese and you can leave that out without putting in the fridge. It'll just not taste as good. But it's still it'll have all. The How will we get our podcast out to the masses. Hmm. That's the real question. Luckily, I still have my ham radio license.

Fire that baby up. So. Yeah. Oh, and I've got a satellite phone with satellites for. For as long as I have power. The fifth phone that before. You will need your solar power to keep that going. Well, I've got that. And I also have a very interesting device that generates electricity from boiling water. Oh, that's cool. Yeah. So as long as you have fire, you could have electricity. As long as I have fire and water, I have electricity. Given how one is created.

This is the kind of information people come to you unrelenting for. Yeah, I mean, I guess they don't really come. But yeah. I want to thank our truck driver for coming in with his monthly 565. Keep it. This show afloat one person at a time. Okay. Well, he's the only guy that's going to survive the of true. Well, he's going to have the big rig, too. So he's going to be out there doing his thing.

Oh, yeah and so if you have a big rig, I would dump the trailer pretty much immediately to conserve your gasoline, which you won't be able to refuel. And then, you know, the roads will be mostly empty. So you'll you'll be able to head off to wherever you want to go, where you think there's going to be a better opportunity if. Way up in the mountains somewhere. Yeah.

And I would expect that without a trailer hooked up, you get pretty decent mileage, get at least ten miles per gallon big rig, maybe more. We do have a couple of booster grabs. See, Brooklyn says 5000 SATs. This boost will do you know good where we're going? Well, that's. True. That's totally true. These this little satoshis will be sitting right there with the big bitcoins. Yeah, we'll be unable to spend that. Yeah. And that dead with 3333 satoshis I love unfortunately with Derrick go.

And sir what's his name. It is a great show. Ty. Great Tell a friend where else this interweaving. That. Organic conversation that you get here. I don't think I've ever heard a podcast that has a separate counter position, which almost like we're a podcast about nothing, baby. It's almost like we either hit something with genius or it's the worst show ever. And we should felt genius with GM. That's how I thought. Of course. Next Friday I do have another dentist appointment.

Yeah, of course you do. And it's Easter. Week, so we've kind of gone to a once, once a month show. Twice. And then you wonder why we don't get any money. Or weekend up. It's possible I could push that. What, just the later in the day, if you're available next week. Because it's putting the, the actual crowd on. Oh yeah. I think taking the crown off the bottom off and putting a temporary there to see if if that alleviates the issues I'm still having there.

Yeah. Yeah. We you try I. Mean what I say to the dentist like we need to see in two weeks I'm like okay they're like Friday. It's like, okay, I don't complain man. I can't be like, I got to do a podcast that nobody's paying for. I definitely if that. Well, it's like, Well, I can't do it Thursday. I've got a real show on Thursday, so I've got that. I mean, I could do Wednesdays because really, who listens to Grumpy Old Beds? Yeah, exactly.

But for some reason they, they like the Fridays at the dentist. I don't know. Well what the hell show they have on Thursday. The rock and roll pre-show. Oh I guess. Yeah. They can't make that. No No that's the. That's the Oh there's like I heard there's like 2000 listeners the other day. There was. Yeah. Well yesterday on the No agenda though over 2000 on the Thursday which surprised. Yeah that's what I mean. Yeah. That was spreading. Up a few hundred which is good shows people are tuning in.

I do think that while the podcasting 2.0 stuff is as of yet not really changing how much in donations are coming in because of the built in Satoshi ability. And we think the people that use that, I think where it is making a difference is once you get somebody to install those apps and subscribe to your show, when you go live, they get a notification. So I think there's a lot of people who would otherwise forget on a Thursday on Sunday for no agenda that the show starting at 1 p.m.

Central. I think the fact that your phone goes. Oh, why would your phone go boom. It buzzes like, you know, from what from the notification you would get from whatever app you were using. Oh. I've got multiple 2.0 apps on my phone. None of them both. They should have you. I think there's a setting in there if you it will notify you when they go live, which is helpful if you want to listen to shows live. Yeah. Yeah. No setting. I don't recall that being a Philly.

I have never done it, but Adam says it works. I believe him. Who is Adam Curry? We tried to answer that. Have the list that. They were led to. I thought I answered that question and I had them on. And then an area. You didn't interview with Adam. I did. Did anybody listen? No. That wasn't for us. Right. Well, I really do it for anybody. They did it for me. But let Jean, somebody out there has to know which app can use that with a bat.

Signal goes out for no agenda or this show or any show that's live and sending out the. Pod verse, which is the one I normally use. The podcast should do it because that's where I started. The pod you think. Doesn't buzz anything. So I'm not sure why. Maybe there's a setting in there because it shows you the live stream. If you go to the Pod Voice website, they show you current shows that are live, including right now, Right? They're not related to guests. If there's no agenda is live right now.

But the the widget is not live. Well it was the I don't. Know podcast static Phifer says works for push notifications so at least podcast addict has that. Okay. All right I'm not sure where. If pod verse has that in their system, I would think. But either way if you find one that does. Yeah if you find if adverse has it then somebody let me know how to help or not because that is helping it. It's helpful to know what your favorite shows are going live that way. More people to an Amber ship.

The hell I don't play with that for a while. They keep all that and stuff. Yeah, in the year. It's not bad. For what? For the for the podcast. Okay. I thought that was part of the fees that were paid with Seth. When you do donations, the the app itself charges something.

The when you send in a booster Graham through pod verse they do have the the default to I think a 50 Satoshi boost over there but you can change that but I know because of the whole thing of pod pinging I got like a lifetime license from the dude over at pod verse. You could just ask there. I'm sure you've had him on your show when you. Don't have. It, maybe that would give you the ability if there if that is part of the premium, tell him you got to show it.

You're pod. Pick it baby. Mm. We are trying to help that and support the apps that you used and support the shows that you listen to. And it's a beautiful thing. Absolutely. It's well worth it so is Adam on and we're podcasting 2.0 now. I do believe that is coming up very shortly on the baby that would you have to stream. 8 minutes. The widget the stream dot com is where you can go to troll room dot IO gets you into the troll room to troll along for no agenda. Unrelenting podcasting 2.0.

A lot of different shows. Mm hmm. Yeah. It's interesting how both you and Adam sound different with your mouth work. Well, he had a lot more. That's for damn. Sure. Okay, well, he sounds more different. Fair enough. That was probably why he had more work. But I don't like. Here's what's interesting to me is it's not like you just had a tooth removed, right? Correct. You had a or whatever was done was you had a replacement thread. I did that, yeah.

The other last week, the temporary did fall off and I had that during I think just during Grumpy Old Beth's. Yeah. Yeah. Which was weird even though what they're feeling. That's what I would say. Careful eating shit because I've swallowed one of those before. You're like Whoa, yeah that was, it was like mashed potatoes. Very nervous. I was. I was like, Man, I'm not going to enjoy having this come out right. But I didn't even notice, like. Going down. No problem.

Do you, like, I take pills in the supplements bigger than currently. My my stomach acids. Everything dies, including these, which I guess technically makes total sense because when they tell you don't eat sugar because it gets that acid on your teeth like those cavities. Right. Is going to just go away, your teeth dissolve. But apparently the fake ones do as well. Probably especially. Well, the fake ones, I think are temporary. You know, the ones that are temporary. Yeah.

Because the one that. Came out of my plastic. Yeah. The one that popped out was a permanent crown that was just reattached by the end. Adapters. Right. The one that's in there now at for like the first day and a half felt like chalk because whatever they must make these things out of, it's kind of smoothed down now but that will have the permanent crowded there. But like chunks it's made of limestone, kind. Of a. Limestone. Tooth maybe. I don't know what they make it.

I know the fancy teeth people used to get back in the old nave were made of rubies. Ooh, that would be nice. It'd be a good look. Yeah, I think so. Or solid gold. I mean, maybe alternating solid gold and Ruby. Yeah. My sister had built this. Yeah, that. It's a it's a little too much, I think. Yeah, I've got now. See, I'm thinking that could be the ISO for the beginning of the show to my sister had gold. Don't be because people with. Gangster life Gee hell.

Is been talking about which people ask a lot at this show and I'm surging speaks about the good ol boy show. What's been talking them out. Right What the hell is Jean. Talking? She's been around the block three times because. She's been beaten with a stick while being walked around the block a few times. No question about it. So be on. Your food's not like melting your coffee, ice cream hog. It does. It probably. Yeah. Yeah, it is. Yeah.

So the sooner we get ramped up, the better it is so I can get my food. Well, we thank everybody for listening. There won't be a live show at the normal time next week, but look for us in your RSS feed. We may be able to record one while that other podcasting 2.0 shows up. Yeah, and I'm totally up for doing a prerecorded episode and just playing on time. We can play it with the players need to. Play or something. So either way, thanks for hanging with us.

We'll see you next week and keep all your teeth. I mean, it's preferred to keep all your teeth in. No one is afraid of Russians.
