	6:01pm Jon: Greetings, Mark
	6:01pm ultradamno: Another potential downside of smart devices twitter.com...
	🤖 6:02pm Webhamster Henry: Same Tech Time, Same Tech Station!
	🤖 6:02pm Webhamster Henry: Or Sports Closet as the case may be.
	🤖 6:02pm Webhamster Henry: I'm a long time fan of the Ig Nobel prizes.
	🤖 6:02pm Bas NL: Hi Mark! Techtonignorany!
	6:03pm queems: greetings from my air b&b in the adirondacks that has a ring camera outside
	6:03pm Jeff Moore: Wow! 30 years.
	6:03pm David in London: Evening Technoids. Hi Mark. Ultradamno, Webhamster.
	🤖 6:03pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, Mark and noble TikTokTeks!
	6:04pm Sonderangebot: Hi Mark & all, from my golden palace.
	6:04pm ultradamno: Hiya DiL!
	🤖 6:04pm PaulRobeson1920: Warm greetings one and all
	6:05pm melinda: The Eyebrow Test
	6:06pm ultradamno: Like if it's just a drawn line?
	6:06pm queems: the eyebrow test would have helped me out a couple of times in my life
	6:07pm David in London: My father in law used to cover the Ignobles in his capacity as roving editor at New Scientist magazine. Years of big laughs.
	6:07pm GListener MW: !! Mark Abrams? Amazing!
	6:07pm Petricole: Hi Mark and Techtotalers. Glad to be able to tune in live today! Hope you are all alright.
	6:08pm ultradamno: Like crazy eyes or jerknails?
	6:09pm Mark Hurst: Hi all, thanks for joining in!
	6:09pm Mark Hurst: @queems agreed - I think we should all study the eyebrow test (actually I'm still not quite sure how it works)
	6:09pm chris: hi, Mark and folks. looking forward to your review, Mark. i think /the social dilemma should be required viewing. not the final word, but if it is one's first exposure to this stuff, it a great beginning to understanding.
	6:10pm Mark Hurst: @David in London that's cool! You must have heard some amazing highlights over the years.
	6:11pm Mark Hurst: @chris I pretty much agree with you. I think it was incomplete in a key way that is worth pointing out, BUT it's still well worth watching (and important, as you say, for anyone who isn't familiar with these issues)
	6:13pm GListener MW: Speaking of scat, I’m now reminded of the past Ig Nobel winners in Archeology who swallowed a boiled shrew to see which bones would digest in a human and which would not
	6:14pm David in London: I think that was Ernest Rutherford’s maxim about science: if you can’t explain your theory to the bar staff at the local pub in about a minute, then it isn’t worth a damn.
	6:14pm Jeff Moore: Now I want to read the paper! How DO they make cubic poo?
	6:15pm ultradamno: But the scat people have to know they're favorites to win the whole time.
	6:15pm Mark Hurst: @DiL along those lines the Ig Nobels also includes "24/7 Lectures" - scientists describing their work in 24 seconds, and then in 7 words that anyone can understand.
	6:16pm Mark Hurst: @Jeff I'm not entirely sure, but one of the researchers (accepting the prize last year) gave one of the best one-liners I've seen at the Ig Nobels. Watch the video...
	6:16pm Lisboner Pasc: Greeting Techtonerites! Pleased with the huge variations on Techtonic listeners tonight, hope we're all well :-)
	6:17pm ultradamno: It's like he's got librettos coming out his butt, in squares.
	6:17pm Mark Hurst: Hi @Pasc!
	🤖 6:18pm Webhamster Henry: In short , working on the Ig Nobel prizes obeys Newton's First Law of Motion.
	6:19pm melinda: @ultradamno haha
	🤖 6:22pm Webhamster Henry: My Board meetings need a SweetyPoo.
	6:24pm Sonderangebot: Next time I'm on the radio, I'm sticking a pen in my mouth for sure
	6:24pm ?: Little known fact - Miss SweetiePoo is cube shaped.
	6:25pm Bee: Pen now in mouth - feeling better!
	6:26pm ultradamno: A lot of people think a cat purring indicates contentment, even though cats have been known to purr after being hit by a car.
	6:27pm JohnEBGood: I just had a frustrating day with computers and phones. I log onto FMU and here I am! God Bless WFMU! Ready to Rock : )
	6:27pm ultradamno: The Dangers of “Smiling Depression” www.amenclinics.com...
	6:28pm Mark Hurst: @JohnEBG welcome! Sorry to hear about the computer frustrations.
	6:28pm dave miss: I have a pen behind my ear. What does that do?
	6:29pm Mark Hurst: @dave it makes your ear happy
	6:29pm Fredericks: My favorite from the Improbable Research was that babies were aerodynamically designed so ancient people could use catapults to toss the babies to other tribes in order to diversify the gene pool.
	6:30pm dave miss: Honestly it makes me forget the pen is there. Actually @mark techtonic makes that ear happy
	6:30pm Fredericks: Wouldn't you need two pens to make you smile?
	6:30pm Mark Hurst: @dave shucks
	6:30pm dave miss: The other ear....very concerned
	6:31pm Sonderangebot: Put the pen in one ear, then your mouth, then your other ear, and here you go, you have a smile drawn on your face. :)
	6:31pm melinda: @ultradamno I read that cats also purr to soothe and heal themselves. Leonard Cohen revived a sick cat by chanting on it for hours, maybe by using the same mechanism
	6:32pm brainiac: Is that a pen in your ear, or are you happy to see me?
	🤖 6:33pm Webhamster Henry: The basic scientific narrative matches the humorous one: something here is out of place!
	6:34pm Jeff Moore: Our portable "phones" are still terrible as telephones. They're cool general-purpose pocket computers... but they're terrible to try to talk over.
	6:34pm ultradamno: Well...sure...Leonard Cohen is an outlier, of course his voice can heal sickened felines. My cat thinks she's a cartoon dog. FWIW twitter.com...
	6:34pm Petricole: @melinda the image of LC nursing a cat back to health with his own glorious purr is everything I needed. Speaking of, happy birthday Field Commander Cohen.
	6:35pm melinda: @Jeff so true.
	6:35pm Kev: Marc comes across as the type that feels --- no matter what somebody says to him --- they're not quite correct.
	6:37pm Petricole: @ultradamno Purrfect tabby alert. Who needs limbs, anyway?
	🤖 6:37pm Webhamster Henry: @Jeff - true, in terms of both physical interface and call quality. OTOH, free three-way calls, voicemail, etc., is better than on older kinds of "phones", unless you are living the "Bells Are Ringing" life.
	6:37pm Listener Robert: I had an experience like that smile research. At UMDNJ Newark my lab boss put in for me a conference paper based on my preliminary results showing melanin in cells prevented DNA-protein crosslinking from ultraviolet radiation. But before we went to the conference in Scottsdale, I did one more control experiment that showed my result was a mysterious artifact of the assay procedure, which was the fairly uninteresting result I wound up presenting there. And I learned thereby never to trust conference papers.
	🤖 6:37pm PaulRobeson1920: Telephone replaced the dominance of the Telegraph. The calculator replaced the slide ruler... What will supersede the smart phone?
	6:39pm brainiac: stones with little cameras attached
	🤖 6:39pm Webhamster Henry: @PaulR1920 - continuous conversational interfaces.
	6:39pm Sam: Plenty of competent people know they’re competent.
	🤖 6:40pm Ken From Hyde Park: @PaulRobeson1920 - The Facebook earpiece?
	6:40pm Carmichael: @PaulRobeson, the ThinkBand 747 Transmitter.
	6:40pm Jeff Moore: @Webhamster: all true.
	6:40pm northguineahills: I’m the antithesis of the Dunning-Kruger effect, I suck at everything.
	6:41pm Carmichael: No, "Transceiver"!
	6:41pm ultradamno: Seems like many more people got familiar with the Dunning-Kruger Effect about four years ago than ever before. Can't imagine why.
	6:42pm Sam: I think the effect is explained more by the fact that competent people tend to be smarter and classier and therefore more modest, because they were brought up privileged and it’s easy to be modest when you’ve been brought up that way. Incompetent people are more likely to be ordinary vain folks.
	🤖 6:43pm Webhamster Henry: Competent person: "I do not know what I do not know." Idiot: "I know all about that."
	6:43pm Jeff Moore: I enjoyed some of the remote prize-presentation workarounds used during the Emmys last night.
	6:45pm Listener Robert: Quackel would never have acted like that.
	6:45pm brainiac: There are certain phrases even I won't type in a search field.
	6:46pm northguineahills: I’ve seen a male pigeon attempting to mate w/ a dead female pigeon at the NYC main USPO. All I got.
	6:46pm ultradamno: So, science golden raspberry?
	6:47pm Carmichael: Sam Kinison did about 10 minutes on that topic.
	6:47pm Jeff Moore: For those afraid to do the search: www.ted.com...
	6:47pm Carmichael: Because 140.9% of FMU listeners are cat owners.
	6:48pm Petricole: @Jeff Moore, thank you for your courage.
	6:48pm Carmichael: I see an Ig Noble prize in my future ...
	6:49pm Jeff Moore: I hate devices which try to make you talk at them. I really hope that madness goes out of style.
	6:50pm David in London: The surveillance centre cannot hold.
	6:50pm Sam: Jeff, dignity has to come back into style first.
	6:51pm Fuzzy: Critical thinking skills may be in vogue again one day.
	6:52pm Carmichael: It's a bad link for me.
	6:53pm David in London: I’m going to overcome the replication crisis and get an alligator in a helium tank. What could possibly go wrong..?
	6:53pm P-90: This occasion shouldn’t pass without mention of “The Journal of Irreproducible Results,” for many years THE place where those who publish research, or have been trained to read published research critically, go to publish sometimes sublimely funny satirical papers: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18449.The_Best_of_the_Journal_of_Irreproducible_Results
	6:53pm ultradamno: I might use Alexa if I can make her sound like Regan from The Exorcist, for authenticity's sake.
	6:54pm Carmichael: If you're shopping for a new home, make sure upon entry that you yell, "Alexa, order 80 lbs of cottage cheese."
	🤖 6:54pm PaulRobeson1920: Gulp... Rumor has it technology will one day be able to access other peoples memories
	6:55pm Carmichael: "Total Recall", PaulR.
	6:55pm Carmichael: "Total Recall", PaulR.
	🤖 6:55pm PaulRobeson1920: I would prefer not to... Ha!
	6:55pm brainiac: That dramatic depiction of the family in The Social Dilemma had unusually high production standards.
	6:55pm Petricole: Surveillance capitalism is infinitely more horrifying than demon bile.
	6:57pm ultradamno: By the way, if it wasn't clear, I brought up cats purring as a comparably insignificant indicator of happiness/contentment to smiling.
	6:58pm ultradamno: I think R. Crumb refers to his father's compulsive smiling as an indication of deep depression in Crumb.
	6:59pm melinda: It would be good to see anyone who wasn't part of the problem
	6:59pm chris: thanks, Mark. good points. fun show. cheers.
	🤖 6:59pm Bas NL: Thanks Mark & Marc!
	6:59pm Fuzzy: Right on, Mark -- ditto for D.C.
	6:59pm David in London: Thanks Mark. Till next week Technoids.
	6:59pm melinda: Thanks Mark!
	6:59pm P-90: Thanks, Mark!
	🤖 7:00pm PaulRobeson1920: Good stuff!
	7:00pm Fuzzy: Thanks Mark!
	7:01pm Petricole: Thanks Mark/c. Take care kitty cats.
	7:35pm northguineahills: Finishing work, digging from the car....
	12:03pm Ed: Watched the Social Dilemma last night. It's definitely worth watching...and then trashing most of your social media accounts!
	10:44pm ARB: I always thought I was competent, but now I realize that means I'm incompetent, which makes me laugh...and then makes me think.
