Helium Shortage, Dutch Birthday Traditions, and Show Introduction
Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak open episode 424 from Austin, Texas, and Northern Silicon Valley. They discuss the cultural specifics of Dutch birthday celebrations, including decorated chairs and circular seating arrangements, in honor of Miss Mickey's birthday. The conversation shifts to a perceived scam regarding a national helium shortage despite high natural gas production, and the physical dangers of inhaling argon gas compared to helium.
