Geeking After Dark

Bart and Norma discuss the origin of this podcast, solar farm proposal, hospital acquisition in the near-area, and mysterious New Jersey pasta mounds mystery solved...Also, autonomous puppy cars. Or are they car puppies?

Bart and Norma have several followups from previous conversations (like Elon's rocket-wiener blowup and more Twitter problems) sprinkled in with newer headlines (lithium trash, whiny Supreme Court learning what "consequences" are...)

Bart and Norma review feedback and wrap up a relatively slow week with a relatively short episode. But we do discuss a meat-grilling robot alpaca, and there's a last minute breaking news tidbit that brings great joy to North America...TUCKER CARLSON IS OUT!

Bart, Norma and Voretaq have a post-Easter catchup discussing alpaca farming as a career, grandkid scams and scambaiting in general, empathy only applies when it happens to ME, depression, and the Satanic Temple is highlighting public school bullsh## politics! Oh, and definitely check out Useless Farm. It's useless but entertaining.

Bart, Norma and Voretaq discuss...mostly stories from feedback, actually. How times have changed, changing citizenship, school safety, credit cards, lawsuits, and a little bit about why you shouldn't die near cats...

Bart and Norma discuss the latest round of school shootings, the latest health trend of IV's for fun, Little Wooden Boy!, and college visits!

Bart and Norma are left to their own devices when reviewing a relatively quiet week, especially since Norma's wifi use is severely hampered and she wants to fix it during the podcast recording session. That did not end well, and Bart is never putting up with the jabs of "doesn't test changes before recording time and causing problems during recording time" after this...

Other than that, we review Jeopardy! making a whoopsie, an aquarium gets sued for reasons aquariums don't normally get sued for, Google acts non-Googly and some people are feeling the effects of the laws they supported but those effects affect them in the wrong way so I guess empathy is no longer quite theoretical when it becomes personal? I guess? Maybe?

Bart, Norma and Voretaq discuss more weird weather, topless swimming in Berlin, child marriage, ice cream made from bugs, dirty license plates, the give of snowflakes for DeSantis and company, Jodi Picoult on book bans, and hospital stays for fun and discomfort!

Bart, Norma and Voretaq discuss Siri as an Assistant, Trump continues his festival of lies, Ford wants cars that drive away if you don't pay them enough, religious non-vaxed get an opportunity to show how Jesus protects them from measles, and a company has a nifty way of decorating workspaces!

Bart, Norma and Voretaq discuss TikTok trends, liability when criminals get hurt on a victim's property (or when they're stealing your catalytic converter and you run them over), a Republican that thinks dead kids are better than kids who need long-term care at the State's expense, Scott Adams once again proves he's a terrible person (in my opinion) and the company making the most money off him decide to disassociate themselves (for awhile?), and some AI and school talk happens.
