Links and Show Notes:

Things kick off with some TV talk and a consideration of sane and civil ways to watch TV with a partner.

In Follow-Up, there's more on this whole chapter markers issue, but honestly it's all a little difficult to follow because of the way time works chronologically.

Merlin has been doing a lot of stuff with computers, and John reluctantly admits that at least JSON is better than YAML, but that's not really saying very much.

As a main topic, your hosts talk about the complexities and frustrations around seeking medical help—especially when the medical help one needs falls outside the interest, curiosity, or expertise of a given medical professional.

And especially when the help you need concerns your brain and doesn't just involve finding an egg and calling it a day.
