What’s sending me is that Sam took ONE EPISODE OFF after all these years and immediately formulated the most convoluted gamemaster nonsense ever to ensure his chaotic neutral presence would not be missed (I would have missed you, Sam). And then delivered a science poem.
Sometimes when I have an anxiety attack, everything looks tiny and far away. Like all of a sudden, I am as tall as the house and my kids and all the furniture is toy-sized. The More You Know...
I have Alice and Wonderland syndrome! Since I was a kid! For me it’s associated migraines, and it’s so difficult to explain how the comparative processing of your brain basically turns off. Quiet things are loud, loud things are quiet, weight, size, speed, I can’t categorize it in relation to other things. Worst of all, for me, my internal clock turns off, and it feels like time is both standing still AND on fast forward. As a child, this was absolutely terrifying. Now it’s just annoying and signals I’m about to have a brutal migraine. I used to get them all the time, but now it’s only a couple times a year.
13:46 Hank, as a veterinarian currently undergoing post-doctoral training in zoo and wildlife medicine, please allow me to inform you that in the battle of Adult Human vs Adult Squirrel it is NOT EASY TO KILL THE ADULT SQUIRREL THEY ARE VERY AGGRESSIVE AND FAST
Please do an episode on space junk!!! You guys talk about it all the time, without ever really scaring the crap out of people who don't know how bad it really is.
The Brilliant Pebble was the heart of the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) also known as the Star Wars program. They were more than a detection system. Each Pebble was effectively a giant shotgun shell that would fire a cloud of BBs at an incoming warhead. The BBs were not enough to destroy the warhead, but would poke holes in the warhead's thermal protection, causing it to burn up on re-entry. Although they were never deployed, the Brilliant Pebble and SDI played a significant role in the end of the Cold War. Counter intelligence operations deliberately played up the Pebble/SDI using lasers, leading the USSR to plow significant resources into trying to build an orbital directed energy weapon. The Pebble's laser was a range finder.
I feel like the brilliant pebbles were paired with something like brilliant eyes in a hunter killer pair so the eyes would find the ICBM and throw the pebbles at it. But all of that is my dim memory of 90s Discovery Channel content from before it was all about fishing and driving a truck or whatever they have on there now.
I had to rewind and look a couple times, that is not smaller than a 15oz jar! Also, the info I’m finding online is saying the NACHOS are more like 4kg, which, I know, weight vs mass vs volume, but it looks bigger and weighs more! Hank was right!
Hank was right by my findings also. From what I found: jar of queso ~609 cubic centimeters. Nachos-1 1,500 cubic centimeters. Volumetrically that makes the jar smaller. Specs Nachos-1 as a 1.5U (10x1x15cm) Jar at 8.38cm diameter by 11.05cm height Team big still won, and it's just a contest for fun, but when I saw that satellite I thought "that may be small, but no way is it smaller than the jar" unless of course those hands are teeny 😄
"Mickle" is in a 15th-c. Christmas text (I don't know if it was a carol, a poem, or what) my choir sang in the setting composed by William Mathias, "Make Ye Merry for Him That Is Come." The phrase is, "little and mickle, all and some." Sadly, Google's not helping me find a recording of it right now to share; it's a nice dramatic piece.
It should be pointed out that ALL natural gas and ALL fossil fuels are moderately radioactive, yes all of them, and so are the pipelines that transport these fuels. The pipelines have to be welded and to check the integrity of the welds, gamma radiation is used to image the welds, this leaves the metal radioactive for hundreds of years. Look into it, I'd love to see a Tangents about this! Love you guys and thanks for making such a great program!
Interesting! Though I bet there's a big difference between the normal level of radiation found in natural gas vs the nuclear explosion remnants level of radiation lol.
True story a lady named Barbie Oppenheimer tried to get a hotel room she wasn't taken seriously. She is the great granddaughter of the aforementioned person and did an interview because of this😊.
Will you please do an episode on acids?! Specifically the different definitions (between ions and percent hydrogen) and how it ties into two of the four macromolecules of life. Namely nucleic and amino acids vs carbs and lipids. Are proteins scuffs because they are made of amino acids? Does hydrogen share electrons well and why? I love to learn audibly while I get other obligations done, because I rarely get long enough to read through an article. You all are the best!
Try crash course biology? (also a Hank production) That set of topics needs a lot of fact checking a script which I don't think this podcast is as equipped for
Back in the early 2000's the University of Oregon students used to do something called The Beer Run. It took place at a track and every loop around the track you would drink a beer, while still running around the track. The person with the most loops wins!
As a short distance sprinter back in the day, I do wish there were more short distance running events for adults. I still really enjoy running, just as long as it's in 100 meter increments.
21:23 lol It's not the poor pilot's fault, dude's just doing his job, it's not his fault that his bosses are insane. (Especially considering all the times when service wasn't exactly voluntary).
Ceri's story sounds a little like mine. My running buddy talked me into Marathon Maniacs, which is a challenge to run two marathons in 10 days. And those were the only two marathons I ever ran. I was similarly pretty shot after the second one, 7 days after the first
a giant book and a tiny car would be about the same size as each other...... that was absolutely a vhs that Sam recorded years ago, with full knowledge of who would be on the show, and totally not something he filmed the week before his vacation. ^_~ ^_~ what do "Germanic flavored languages" taste like?
What about a hornet? Today is the second day that held a hornet in my hand without a problem, How so? Because I saw another hornet drowning in the bird bath... But? I have no fear of hornets because I grew up in Texas where the hornets are much larger than in France. What I discovered as a young child, is that all things that look alike and not alike. So having a hornet resting on my shoulder when I was preschool, was not like having a yellowjacket wasp discover me. The hornet rested, tested my skin, and then after a space of time, it went off to do its own thing. While the yellowjacket wasp determined I was too close to its friends and called all of them to come, attack, and put me in a police car, then hospital for two days. (in the 1950's). In my opinion, hornets are more like bumblebees an wasps are more like honey bees but on steriods. So picking up a drowning hornet in a bird bath is interacting with a division of species that is more observant and less aggressive. Perhaps an interesting topic for a future tangents?
See, that’s your difference between a nutritionist and a dietician. You: What should I eat? Nutritionist: here’s a meal plan with all your macros and micros balanced according to your lifestyle and incorporating a bunch of super fruits. Dietitian: food. With calories
I have migrains and pinic dissored. Migrain will cause a panic attack and I have symptoms of Alice in Wonderland syndrom. So I literally have to put myself in dark room.
But wait, what did they learn from dish brain? are all mini brains made with mouse or was this one special and that's why the results are haunting? if you got a mouse hybrid mini brain applied to your brain as a medical treatment like a skin graft, would you know whatever the mini brain learned? and how did they learn anything from the praying mantis' response to the whole situation? how were they monitoring the eyes and the response and how the mantis interprets the info????
i like how sam left and another person named sam came on its like we have a Substitute sam

It was really nice to hear Ceri casually mention her partner. Representation makes me smile.
I thought that at first, too, but then I thought maybe she was talking about her running partner?
Ceri isn’t in a hetero relationship IIRC, she’s mentioned her partner (not sure if they use she or they pronouns) in past episodes
She and Sylvia (they/them) are currently engaged to be married (which has been mentioned on the pod previously).

The picture of NACHOS must be very deceptive! I'm picturing his hand holding the jar of dip and I'm baffled. He must have tiny hands
I had to rewind and look a couple times, that is not smaller than a 15oz jar! Also, the info I’m finding online is saying the NACHOS are more like 4kg, which, I know, weight vs mass vs volume, but it looks bigger and weighs more! Hank was right!

Nachos-1 as a 1.5U (10x1x15cm)
Jar at 8.38cm diameter by 11.05cm height
Team big still won, and it's just a contest for fun, but when I saw that satellite I thought "that may be small, but no way is it smaller than the jar" unless of course those hands are teeny 😄

Is it just me or does that satellite look waaay bigger than a 15 oz jar of queso blanco? Are the people in the picture just really tiny?
Tiny Tangents!!! I love my internet people.
I guess the queso blanco answer was nacho best round this time around, Hank.XD

I wonder if Vonnegut's brother's work with cloud seeding inspired Ice Nine?

NACHOS is a 1.5U Cubesat so it should have 1.5 - 1.75 Liter volume - way bigger than a 15oz Jar of Queso Blanco.

Oh no, Hank! You should have started out with yoga or beginners pilates or something first.
