Summary
Welcome to the August 2024 Ask Me Anything episode of Mindscape! These monthly excursions are funded by Patreon supporters (who are also the ones asking the questions). We take questions asked by Patreons, whittle them down to a more manageable number -- based primarily on whether I have anything interesting to say about them, not whether the questions themselves are good -- and sometimes group them together if they are about a similar topic. Enjoy!

| 1:07.0 | which last Monday in August, sorry about that. I see, I am obviously, you know, kind of scrambled and scared of the beginning of the semester. |
| 1:14.8 | I don't want to say it's a love hate relationship with the semester, but it is a love dread relationship |
