Episode Synopsis

It was not a cell from The Far Side after all, so it was either a Far Side Clone at some point, or The Mandela Effect in action (though the actual Far Side cell artwork is close, the humorous text is not...

A lengthy rundown on CasaNunzia, a project we're finally advancing with some nonprofit paperwork and a plan to get it started, and a story about using some very expensive HP test equipment to measure a fermentation process in exchange for use of an autoclave... and maybe another thing or two.

I'm testing out Buy Me a Coffee and maybe some other things in the near future in an attempt to enable support from far and wide from people of the world. This particular show is more of a vanity project for now, FFS should be more interesting, and of course when we get a CasaNunzia presence up and running, we'll eventually have a 501(c)(3) charity to consider.
