  1. I’ve been playing a lot of Battlefront and the free Jakku DLC adds another set of maps on Jakku, which are very pretty with lots of crashed spaceships and walkers.

  2. the camera only caught the first half hour of the podcast, so i filled in the rest with some public domain video. it’s still be processed by youtube, though!

  3. I enjoyed the addition of Kishore. We’ll all miss Will but the show isn’t necessarily made poorer for his absence, just different.

  4. I feel like I have to share with any podcast addicts out there like me. I really really really like “Inquiring Minds” with Kishore and Indre Viskontas. After hearing about it on Tested I binge listened about 20 eps. If I had to describe it I’d say it’s like actual scientists nerding-out about actual science.

  5. I’m enjoying Kishore, and I assume that he will get better as the podcast develops.

    I also hope to see an engineering correspondent brought to the podcast as well, for some of the less theoretical aspect of how science and tech fit together in our world today!

  6. Kishore all the way. I particularly like the personal experience stories. Throws some flavor in there.

    Fun fact: iPhone tried to autocorrect his name to kid gore.

  7. I hate the headphone jack. It’s a terrible connection. What other ports routinely just go bad like they do? Bring on the Lightning and USB-C headphones.

  8. My biggest problem Apple with removing the 3.5 headphone jack is one point of failure for headphones and charging/sync.

  9. Kishore is great, love him!

    And i for one love the way the rocket crash sometimes, it reminds me that we don’t always have to be on the top of our games on each second of our life.. i’m listening to the podcast in my boxer for christ sake!

  10. Re Artificial Christmas trees – defiantly go unlit. The lit ones , even the best go dead after 2 or 3 seasons. Look at Balsam Hill – pricey but will last 10-15 years and look very real. Oh and Norm – a good artificial tree are up in the $400-600 range – ouch

  11. Concerning Radio Shack–I live in NE Ohio and the local Shack recently remodeled (looks great), is fully stocked and was doing booming business on Black Friday.

  12. just abandoning this is a test, still checking in for the other content, and paying the subscription.

    just disappointed
