Set Break: There is a "best depth" to swim at if you have a ways to go

You need to minimize drag made by causing waves on the surface, but also no reason to go too deep

Turns out that many animals travel at 2-3 body thicknesses deep, which is the relevant sweet spot

Set Break: Pain killers without addictive euphoria??

An endocannabinoid 2-AG seems to prevent mice from deriving strong pleasure from opioids

Maybe this is a path to super strong pain killers without addictive potential?

Set Break: Controversial plant: Stapelia gigantea, or the carrion flower

Smells awful and looks gross to attract flies and get pollinated

But it works! and you can grow it in your garden <3 (in more tropical climes) or in your house (if you can't smell <3)

Set Break: Emissions of electric vehicle production: care needed to reduce future emission hotspots

Batteries for cars require lots of nickel and cobalt, which are emission-heavy to refine

Future SO2 emissions could increase by 20% in China and India if EV production takes over fully (and batteries are produced domestically with current techniques)

EVs will be good for the energy transition but local SO2 hotspots will have very bad effects for locals

Hello there, friends old and new

I suppose actual Buddhist monks would not seek personal recognition. But I agree, the failure of record companies to identify artists is one of my pet peeves
DJ AskTheQuestion 7:08:57 AM
100% agreed on both fronts. Credit owed where credit is due, even if you renounce the profit motives of Lyrichord Records
DJ AskTheQuestion 7:09:04 AM
Good morning DTO!

Good morning DJ AskTheQuestion, DTO & chat.

Hi Amy!
Dale Hazelton 7:24:56 AM
good morning.
DJ AskTheQuestion 7:29:39 AM
Hi Dale! Welcome to this morning's broadcast
Dale Hazelton 7:31:31 AM
is there nothing physics can't explain? but since i can't breathe underwater i don't think that information will help me too much.
DJ AskTheQuestion 7:36:00 AM
Your next dream of being a sea turtle can be that much more dimensionally accurate
Dale Hazelton 7:40:37 AM
saw a doc on their migration. 10,000 miles - amazing!
TAndy 7:57:08 AM
Love this song 💕
DJ AskTheQuestion 7:57:46 AM
Good morning TAndy! Yes, full of energy!
TAndy 8:00:23 AM
I was still just waking up when I heard dark comets. Now if we ever find one that has a face carved into it, LEAVE IT ALONE.
DJ AskTheQuestion 8:01:05 AM
10000% I am anti space face
TAndy 8:05:31 AM
Hahaha space face
TAndy 8:06:04 AM
"We can't know what they saw on Mars, all we know is they came back with Space Face and they've been uncommunicative since landing."
Amy Lee 8:37:14 AM
Awhile back, had an opportunity to buy a few items from various moon landings. Then I overthought it & got paranoid. Or was I...?
DJ AskTheQuestion 8:38:28 AM
What didn't you get???
Matt Slingshot Sabbath 8:49:28 AM
endocannabinoids for the win!
DJ AskTheQuestion 8:50:04 AM
Totally! Brain science is so complicated yet so fascinating. We are products of a strange chemistry
Matt Slingshot Sabbath 8:51:21 AM
I use cannabanoids for pain management (old battleworn gen x punk) more effectively than painkillers for sure
TAndy 8:52:24 AM
I have to read that article more later, that was really interesting to hear.
Inspector Callahan 8:54:18 AM
Good Morning! DJ Ask and fellow chatters!
DJ AskTheQuestion 8:54:19 AM
Power to you! I have no sense for whether this MAGL inhibitor works similarly, but there may be many ways
DJ AskTheQuestion 8:55:35 AM
Greetings Inspector!
Amy Lee 9:01:52 AM
Various badly promoted gov online auctions - (most notable 2014 by US Marshals service). Some tchotchkes, parts from capsules. And yes...the moon dust sample bag.
Amy Lee 9:12:53 AM
Still...no regrets. I think.
Inspector Callahan 9:13:00 AM
Indiana Jones vs. Thomas Dolby? (now that's in bad taste) 😊

Amy Lee 9:25:49 AM
My interest was only to buy in order to donate to appropriate institutions. When I stumbled across that particular auction...I was dumbfounded.
Mike Lupica 9:26:47 AM
So glad someone else likes this Oxbow record! One of my faves of last year.
DJ AskTheQuestion 9:27:55 AM
Apocalyptic Heaviosity indeed! It's heavy but very palatable, at least to me
Mike Lupica 9:30:55 AM

"Deep Polka: Dance Music from the Midwest " ... what other record label in the world ... nay, the entire cosmos! ... other than Smithsonian folkways would have a collection like that? Wondrous! May Folkways ever prosper!
Richard of Rocky Hill 9:42:14 AM
@ DJ AskTheQuestion ~ "In nature, sometimes things that stink do very well." Yeah, in elections, too ... ;-))
DJ AskTheQuestion 9:42:20 AM
It's not the first polka comp I've seen! But it is a very good one. I have to look into whether others are all on SF
DJ AskTheQuestion 9:42:40 AM
:) I thought about politics too there but I thought the subtext might leak through clearly enough
Inspector Callahan 9:44:12 AM
I remember when Venus Fly Traps once where all the rage!
Richard of Rocky Hill 9:44:21 AM
It did ;-D
Richard of Rocky Hill 9:46:28 AM
@ Inspector Callahan My fav local houseplants/gardening/landscaping outlet, Blooms on Rt. 206 just south of Harlingen, periodically has Venus Fly Traps.
Amy Lee 9:47:29 AM
Note to self: let carrion plant bloom when in Teotwawki mode. Also note: best way to dehydrate maggots.
DJ AskTheQuestion 9:48:39 AM
I've been searching high and low for better maggot dehydration methods!!
DJ AskTheQuestion 9:49:12 AM
I always heard venus fly traps were hard to grow and not that cool in the end. not dramatic enough for the caretaking investment
Inspector Callahan 9:49:14 AM
Thank You Richard! I want one for Christmas!
Inspector Callahan 9:52:07 AM
I had one when i was a child back in the sixties. Along with a small alligator my uncle brought back from his winter trips to Florida.
TAndy 9:56:40 AM
Thanks again so much for the show!
Inspector Callahan 9:57:39 AM
Thanks DJ Ask! Love your forum!
DJ AskTheQuestion 9:57:49 AM
So much fun as always! Take care everyone :)
Richard of Rocky Hill 9:58:33 AM
@ DJ AskTheQuestion Alas, difficult Venus fly trap horticulture has been my experience as well! But they're inexpensive enough to take a few home and try.
