Greetings from Munich! Not the most coherent show, but I manage to allude to the major Power Outrage in Omaha, “battery trains” (the new secret sauce for solar power), the October 1987 storm in Britain, and A Trans–Atlantic Tunnel, Hurrah! by Harry Harrison. You also learn details of how I’ve handled blast №2, and a new order of stickers.

Power outage? Power outrage! Also I attempt to define “high technology” by reference to Adam Smith’s ideas about the division of labor, and this helps to clarify part of the problems I have with both “de–growth” and “trans–humanism”.

Hail to the Glorious Twentieth of July! “In peace for all mankind” is the topic of this episode. There is a great deal I could have chosen to talk about, but it can wait for another day. Here is the document with all the goodwill messages, of which I read out a few. The list of world leaders is fascinating — there are emperors, dictators, governments in exile, all pledging their hopes and best wishes. Let us always rededicate ourselves to that end!

Power outage? Power outrage! (Not me, this time.) Also, another instalment of “don’t trust anyone who uses the word quantum” ; no news on the Boeing CST–100 is… no news ; the Ariane 6 is new but hardly novel ; uranium from a mine in Finland, but not a uranium mine ; implications of an obscure legal topic known as “Chevron deference” ; and so on.
