Thumbs up but pretty bizarre. Kinda made my head hurt thinking about it afterwards.

It does sound like a head banger.

me and a friend got into going to estate sales earlier in the year, we have a found alot of good stuff
Yeah, sometimes it makes me sad though. When you see stuff like family albums, personal recognition plaques, etc with a sticker on them. Then again, there are sometimes some interesting things found; but harder to get "deals" unless you get "in the know" and the folks that run them. Not saying cheating but today with the internet it is harder to find some crazy money making item. But, for me, finding bizarre or interesting stuff is enough. Old books, records, antiques, etc. Heck, I got an Astros cap (brand new, new era MLB) for a $1 4 months ago. And look at them now! hahaha.

Brilliant idea... Madmad Man Markum and Prof Mallett should hook up and build a time machine for Art, so he can go back in time and undo his endorsement of Dave.

My girlfriend just texted me that while out for drinks while away on business tonight,  a Catholic Cardinal just invited her to an Irish bar! LOL  ;D

You're right I'm going to listen again to this again tomorrow, running on leftover nervous energy here. Popcorn and coffee time.

that combo does not sound appealing lol

You're confusing me to the point that I understand you perfectly.

It's the Hoagie strategy.  Bend it, then bend it some more until it breaks, then reshape it into something else that looks vaguely like a pyramid.

LOTSA skipping on TuneIn.  :(
At least on mine.
Mine is fine, but I have it set to lowest quality.

What about Primer?  That'll mess you up.

Why does this sound very suspicious?  Sure it wasn't a St. Louis Cardinal?  Phoenix?

Best if broken into 19.5 pieces.

Interesting point he made. It is still a probability that you might find yourself in a vacuum. But also, there is a probability that you will instantly teleport halfway across the universe due to the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. It's so low that it doesn't practically happen, but it still can.

I've heard all of this before, but I still find it fascinating.  I love time travel shows.

I don't think I've heard it presented so well (and understandable) before.  Just so hard to wrap your head around.

Hmm. I have on highest/longest buffer (usually helps but idk, maybe I shouldn't.) I have older version of TuneIn (seemed to be less ads and more stable) also, so that could be an issue.

Aww Art cut short the Doobie Brothers. Its a sign-Art is firing the Doobie Brothers.

That's the essence of statistical sciences like thermodynamics or quantum physics.

What would be the advantage of that over putting you & your consciousness in suspended animation for that time interval/

The coffee first, that will give me enough get up and go to start the popcorn.  Its not like I'm having pickles and ice cream :)

I dont get why people keep using tunein when it has had issues since pretty much day 1. The stream on darkmatter site actually works really well and should work with all platforms.
