Intergalactic Wasabi Mix – Episode 1094 – 2024/09/29

The first 6 minutes of the video stream did not have audio and later on, only produced a loud buzzing sound. I then realized I forgot to plug my mixer output back into my computer’s audio input LOL I did manage to stitch the audio and video together through the magic of technology LOL Anyway, I still had fun doing this show.

Too much of my attention lately is on mundane politics. Alas, it is a topic which has a direct effect on how I live and what I am able to do, and on the shape of the future that it is feasible to build. Also, Mail Call! leads me to speculate on the resemblance between Chinese Hell Money and the securities markets.

Chicago! Stacker of wheat, butcher of hogs, et cetera, and also one of the most nuclear–powered places in the USA. Incidentally it is also the place where I arrived in the USA from Iceland after my sea voyage, and where I will board my train home to Texas. This show was phoned in from a hotel room.

An abbreviated show as I set out on my travels back to the USA. Listen for an effusion on the joys of tourist visits to power plants, and alas, a long list of nuclear power plants I had hoped to visit but did not get to. I also missed out on the Swedish one, in the event, because I spent most of my time in Gothenburg resting. Listen for a discussion of the successor currencies of the Scandinavian Monetary Union, gripes about the Euro coinage, and aspersions on the idea of border controls.
