Topic: Graywater

Adam Curry recounts a series of mishaps following the previous Thursday's show, starting with a failed MP3 upload caused by the show's CDN running out of disk space. While attempting to fix the technical error, Curry left a faucet running in his bathroom, leading to a significant flood in his concrete-floored apartment. He discusses the challenges of replacing truncated files in various distribution systems like BitTorrent Sync.

Neil deGrasse Tyson discusses the California drought and the need for holistic water management, such as using graywater for lawns. He argues that human-caused climate change is leading to a "new normal" of extreme weather where wet areas get wetter and dry areas get drier. The hosts analyze his delivery as a form of NLP designed to disarm the listener.
