dimland radio 6-9-18 show notes

Mom, Dad, Meet Bambi...

...and they hit it with their car. They're OK. The car is still driveable, but it's looked better.

A Good Thing?

Last week, I made a joke about doing a "deep dive" into a political topic. The topic was the meeting between Pres. Trump and Kim Kardashian on prison reform. I made the joke by being speechless about the unusualness of such a meeting.

 

But the result of that meeting was the freeing of a 63 year-old woman from prison, serving a life sentence for a non-violent drug crime. Isn't that a good thing? The woman is free after 21 years. Still some folks aren't giving the President much credit.

A Dimland Radio Pedantic Moment (Grammar Nazi Edition): It's it's not its.

Friend of the show, Craig, who helped me with the previous segment, tested me the other day to see if I was pedantic enough to catch the error on the cover of Kanye West's new album.

Fear Of Fluoride Down Under

 

There are two towns in Australia. One fluoridates its water, the other doesn't. One has a high rate of tooth decay leading to many fillings and extractions in adults and children. Can you guess which?

 

I also talked about the Dunning-Krueger Effect on display at the town meeting held to hear the public's thoughts on fluoridation. I speculated on how to approach such a gather of Google searchers. 

 

Three Cool Things

 

3) I participated in recording another entertaining episode of the Assault of the Two-Headed Space Mules. It may be some time before it's released, though. I'll let you know when it's available.

2) A customer of the janitorial service I work for thanked me for the work I do for them.
