Links and Show Notes:

In Follow-Up, there's an update on movies with spelled-out abbreviations, John finally figures out why his magazine got bigger, and Merlin checks in on jiggle mode.

Next up, John shares some very biased reporting on dogs and technology. Merlin thinks people should just stop interviewing first responders. This somehow leads to a very useful discussion of proper key hygiene.

Then, your hosts conduct a studious review of the literature regarding why we build ships.

As your main topic, John has updates on some recent elective plumbing.
