Wait. You're telling me Soulja Boy was NOT the first to sing "kiss me through the tele"?? 🤔
I'm with November on the "humanity is alone" vibe. I also enjoy the idea that Earth is the only ball of matter that managed to get itself organized enough to talk shit about all the other matter.
🎶 shake hams with danger 🎵
looks at the radiator and the window zillow sent me a house listing earlier today in a nice part of town with those windows and those radiators for $400k
41:05 The "Kebabashev scale"
‘I hate this… I’m a doctor… I’m such a child’
Ah, so it was hypercovid's fault that my usual method of predicting wtyp episodes through the news didn't work! I thought for sure you must have recorded something like the day before the helicopter hard landing (I will not be doing math about this to see if the days match up)
Some suns just want to watch the world burn.
53:02 solar wind statites give me anxiety in this way. Hanging over the sun not in orbit fills me with a primal dread
(statite = static satellite. A hypothetical technology for advanced space engineering)
We probably are the best football players in the universe – When you remember that our particularly dexterous hands and and flexible shoulder joints are basically a super long run consequence of ape ancestors evolving to swing between branches, it's highly likely that aliens cannot throw deep
ok, gold bullion, ammo or medication… does that mean I can send in ukrainian bathtub estrogen to pay for the patreon?
What are you wearing? Over the telegraph.😂
The only thing that can stop a bad celestial body with a magnetosphere is a good celestial body with a magnetosphere
God I missed yall, thank god you’re back <3 I really needed the soothing voices of WTYP to charmingly tell me about something probably pretty fucked up today
re: running telegraphs just off induced current
so how early did we have solar power?
also Tesla must have been overjoyed at the idea of wireless power
3:10 Still want to go up in a Blackhawk one day, unless there is fog.
20:01 We can't what? Well I guess since I only figured out I am Bisexual a year ago so it has not been long enough to have that happen.
1:02:07 Ok, I love this sun, space is indeed way too big.
1:43:04 I would be out of a job, everything I do is computers.
Now that you have made this episode, there is a non-zero chance it will happen while someone is listening to this episode, or atleast, listened to it that day.
Can i get my PE credits for listening to this podcast?
I admit, I'm confused by the safety third. I suspect the listener was confused by which substitution took place. The most common components of drain cleaner are sodium hydroxide (lye) and sodium hypochlorite (bleach). Mixing bleach and hydrogen peroxide is a common high school chemical reaction because it evolves oxygen gas and the chlorine gets stripped of the oxygen and becomes a free ion in solution.
In contrast, if the students had mixed HCl (Muriatic Acid) and drain cleaner; aka the "dead housekeeper's cocktail", that's a surefire way to make a lot of chlorine gas really quickly.
Another likely scenario is they didn't look at the ingredients and the bleach in the drain cleaner spooked them as soon as they poured it out and they ran away like the faint-hearted EE students they were.

I saw it! Southeastern Norway. We rarely get it this far south, especially not in the afternoon.
I miss liam!
Frozen custard is amazing!
Steamed hams with danger
The Mr. Sun doodle was hilarious.
BRB off to go look at the sun for a while
52:14 justin label your units >:(
All I got out of this is that November is an Earth Nationalist.
Optical telegraphs may be less susceptible to interference from the sun, but they're far more susceptible to mysterious wealthy gentlemen giving extravagant bribes to the gardeners who operate the towers.
"We can kill the sun in self defense" Fallen London players everywhere rejoice as the time has come
I wish we had a line of stickers from WTYP that are just dumb quotes by guest who have the credentials… example:
“I am astrophysicist and I am telling you to look at the sun.”- Episode 158
I am sure there is a whole list out there of unforgettable dumb quotes by our amazing guests for us hogs. ❤😊
Then if we get one from each episode, we can collect them 🎉
Frozen custard is delicious 😋
That safety third reminds me of when the guy on 4chan bought a gas mask and tested it in their bathroom by making chlorine gas. I was never on 4chan but I've seen screenshots shared widely before
My god, I've caught up. I guess I'll have to subscribe to the patreon for the bonus episodes.
This is why I always print all the writing I really care about

id fuck up a wtyp episodic worksheet. add a wordsearch on the back for if you finish early
Today I learned the sun is Garfield. Nothing else.
Ros: "The Upper Peninsula exists", November: "I've never seen proof of that." My daughter got her under grad AND MBA at Michigan Tech in the UP. It exists only if you are there. Once she left, it became a mere Quantum probability.
Wooo! Annie Oakley reference!
I read about her only once, and that's like 35 years ago. I need to read more, it made such an impression that I apparently still remember her name 😀
German for Mining is indeed "Bergbau". I think it is not "Mountain Building" though, but rather "Abbau", being the removal of some structure or big thing, so "Mountain Shaving" is a pretty close translation 🙂
I have heard of times in the distant past where there have been high-energy particle events that were so strong that they effectively knocked down the Earth's magnetic field. Not necessarily from the Sun but passing through the solar system.
My favorite personal helicopter incident was when I took a 2-seater R-22 out to solo and build time, but I kept getting shocked every time I used the radio transmitter. I took it back to the hanger and reported it. One of the mechanics came out and fixed the grounding system to eliminate the problem.
I don't think I actually cursed on the radio during that short taxi out and taxi back – something the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and Federal Communications Commission (FCC) frowns on.
I did practice in fog thick enough at one airport that the tower couldn't see me. I had to request permission to cross the active runway going out to the practice taxiway and back to the hangar. I stayed out until visibility got down to almost the minimum for helicopter visibility – 1/4 mile.
nay liam 🙁 but yay liam because he's on vacation 🙂
