Their expressions on the freeze frame make it look like a poster for a romantic comedy 😄

Came here to suggest just this: release a RiffTrax style ”Just the jokes” edit, to be played over the original stream once it’s out there.

When the home assistant integration was introduced, I was like ”okay, this must be one of Lloyd’s jokes, right?” But no, turns out it’s real.

Then your Alexa bit came and had me in tears.

Speaking of geeky, I really dig the ’90s demoscene vibe of your intro.

God, what an unintuitive trick they’ve come up with for that locking mechanism. Thanks for taking one for the team!

The problem with bringing an actual scientist to the discussion is that they work with facts and theory, which doesn’t always translate to easily digestible bites (especially on-the-fly), whereas the WT are free to mould their neat, naive packages of misinformation and misquotes with little regard to science and actual facts (and the believing readers probably also won’t come across the facts on their own). A certain disparaging analogy with pigeons and chess comes to mind.

On the flip side, showing an actual scientist’s confidence and their reaction to creationist BS should help to dismantle the narrative of ”evolutionists” being confused or unsure in the slightest about the fact of evolution.

This. Good business or bad, that’s all that it is: business. Companies aren’t people, grievances and forgivances don’t apply.

Thanks for the explanation, I was looking at North Europe thinking: Norway, what’s wrong with you?!

In Finnish a bat is ”lepakko”, which means ”a bat”.

JK, actually the meaning is something like ”the flutterer”. But no rodents in the name.
