Links and Show Notes

Things kick off with John preparing for his family's annual sojourn to the beach.

In Follow-Up, there's a new Scandinavian sleep technology, and your hosts aren't precisely sure what makes it so Scandinavian. Still, they remain open to adjudicating whether it might be a Secret Weird Thing. The modal shapes of a sleeping dog are considered.

The main topic this week is Project Farm. Merlin cops to buying some new knives and a jug of acid, and John has thoughts on the value of objective product testing.

In this month’s member bonus episode, your hosts talk about some recent TV shows they've enjoyed.
