Whenever the Feds talk about storing health records or encryption keys, remember that the NSA can't even protect their best tools.

Hey, @sircalebhammer when are you inviting @elonmusk on the show? I heard he just had some sort of financial life change and he's in Austin regularly

I've tried to explain this to my European friends many times.. From Austin, you can drive 6 hours in any direction and still be in TX. In some directions, you can drive 10 hours. When I moved from Central TX to Central IN last year, it was 1000 miles.. when I visited Iceland in Sept, I learned the circumference of the country is 800 miles. Very different scales and perspectives
I’ve just learnt that you can drive for 12 hours in Texas and still be in Texas 🇺🇸 Meanwhile in England you can drive the length of the whole island in 6 hours 😭

I want to introduce you to Steve. He’s 83. His wife died a few months ago and he comes to this lodge in Spring Mill, Indiana and draws. He taught art in Terre Haute, IN his whole life. He also did courtroom sketches in court cases. In the comments I’ll share some pics from his sketchbook. He was excited when I said I was going to share his sketches with the world.

After all the Stargate chaos of the last week, I stopped and watched "Window of Opportunity" and 200 last night Window was their take on Groundhog's Day and so much fun seeing them change and grow over the months(?) of loops. The kiss was gold 200 had so much winking at/trolling the fans, it was great. The "modern take" is what it appears Amazon wanted.. amusing that the writers called that shot 20 years ago We may not have something new but we still have tons of awesome from a series that seemed to appreciate the fans throughout

Also I'm watching through SG-1 with my kids. Their first time - We're in Season 3 and saw "New Ground" and "Maternal Instinct" tonight New Ground - they didn't get the "foundational beliefs at risk" aspect but liked that Teal'c saved Nyan at the end Maternal Instinct - they *loved* this episode, first because the monk said funny stuff but then because they met something that scares and destroys the Goa'uld. They asked if it was one of the Four Races.. I suggested "the Furlings?" Also, I recognized the monk as Terry Chen, later of Continuum.. and one of the Jaffa as the engineer from BSG. Once again, the Vancouver scifi mafia represents

Watched Crystal Skull (S3E21) When they saw the skull, they shouted "don't touch it!" and were happy when @MichaelShanks didn't but thought it might be safe to look at.. oops And loved Nick finally responding to the "hallucination" My youngest also picked up that Teal'c wasn't teleported and why Older one noted that with Nick working with these aliens and Jacob Carter working with the Tok'ra, they're making lots of friends They also hope NIck comes back

Elon Musk has enough money now to fix every McDonald's ice cream machine, but he won't because he only thinks of himself.

This man loves his rum.. and it comes through in every podcast Imagine a normal person going to a candy store *No candy stores or normal people involved though
This is my passion project. I’ve got 4 episodes released, all of them special to me. It was so much fun talking to Doug. :)

Today my bank called me to tell me my phone number was wrong.. and then asked me to verify myself. I wish I was kidding. I hung up, called the number on the site, and confirmed.. they think my phone number is wrong Yes, the phone number they just called me on I talked to an "identity specialist" to "verify" my identity.. using publicly available information that anyone could find in 30s. I heard another language in the background throughout so that's cool Then I talked to a "security specialist" and pointed out these poor practices and absurdity of calling me to tell me my phone number was wrong and she just said "yes sir, that sounds bad" and just didn't care
My bank: Hmm.. his address bounced, what should we do? Also my bank: Let's send him a letter informing him and requiring him to send it back with a signature confirming his address Me: ...?

And this is for soccer.. which most Americans don't even care about.
This is the most “The European mind can’t comprehend this” moment of my life. One of my friends said, “Punch me five times tomorrow and I’ll still think this isn’t real.”

My April update: - 12994 pushups, avg 108/day (down) - 14551 crunches, 121/d (down) - can bench half my body weight consistently, PR is 70% All that after missing 6 days.. nasty cold then camping But I do a 100 pushup set every day I do them.. so $10/pushup would be great

I just got @politicalmath's book and flipped through it.. The opening is about his video using pennies to represent the Obama budget cuts in 2009. I think that's what led me to follow him all those years ago Amusingly enough, despite having friends and occasionally cities in common, we didn't manage to meet until 2012, then again in 2015 (I think) and amazingly, my wife didn't think it weird at all when I invited him family to crash at our place in '21 or to all meet for lunch randomly a couple years later And since then we've had some odd, fun common threads in friends and colleagues. Anyway, I've read tons of his posts over the years and look forward to the book. Check it out: amzn.to/4dUgCWf

Great to see. I've also been to this store a handful of times. Supremely geeky and fun stuff for super fans. Check it out.
Who North America (America's Doctor Who Store) stands in solidarity with the Stargate community as they protest the cancellation of their reboot. For years, Who North America carried Stargate products, including the Big Finish audios starring cast members like @MichaelShanks

"Science fiction is an existential metaphor. It allows us to tell stories about the human condition. Isaac Asimov once said: Individual science fiction stories may seem as trivial as ever to the blinder critics and philosophers of today, but the core of science- fiction, its essence, has become crucial to our salvation, if we are to be saved at all." -- Anders quoting Asimov, Stargate SG-1, S10E06 "200" This is Stargate. Only the original showrunners understand that this is what Stargate has always meant to us. They need time to hand the baton off to the new generation of writers and up-and-coming showrunners to continue the Stargate legacy. Hiring someone who has no idea what Stargate is will only manage to add it to the growing banality of "science fiction" television that is being produced. We simply have no desire to watch something dumbed down. We are an intelligent audience that understands nuance and we deserve something that treats us as such. You wouldn't write sequels to beloved books passed down throughout the generations without the original author involved in mentoring the next generation to continue the legacy. Anything else is fan fiction. Thank you for reading this @AmazonMGMStudio @PrimeVideo @JeffBezos - Emerald May

This take is spot on I love listening to "entrepreneurship" professors who have never done it.. they've just interviewed successful ones. Cool to have access*but* that's survivorship bias and many things you have to do, get some bruises, or be in the thick of to really understand One of the good ego checks in startups is working with truly excellent people with valuable specializations.. and then you realize that they inherently look at situations differently so they're starting with a fundamentally different understanding of constraints and resources available But yes, if professors haven't done/worked closely with the thing you need, be skeptical of their students
Replying to @jawwwn_ @60Minutes
There is obviously no “degree” you can get from a university that actually teaches you how to make an orbital rocket, as none of the professors know how to do it!
