Howling Chickens Robotics Team and Tax Deductibility
A local robotics team from Port Townsend, coached by a show producer, has reached the state semifinals held at Amazon's headquarters in Seattle. A GoFundMe campaign titled "Howling Chickens" seeks to fund the trip, with the coach noting that donations are tax-deductible, prompting a humorous callback to the show's earlier discussion on the efficacy of tax-exempt status.
Dame Elise Garling, now living in Port Townsend, is recognized for her long-term support. Adam Curry shares that Dame Angela found the original video of his "Rocket Car of Death" stunt from *Circus of the Stars*, which featured Hulk Hogan. Curry describes the stunt involving an "angry wall of flames" and expresses excitement about finally seeing the footage.
Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak open episode 806 of the No Agenda show on March 10, 2016. They discuss technical difficulties involving a producer's offline status and the merits of LPG versus diesel backup generators for home power. The hosts also share an anecdote about the sensory experience of starting turbine engines in helicopters.
