I'm pulling on the driveway. We all know what that means. It's time for another drive to work.

0:06.2

Okay, the last two podcasts have been all about R&D vocabulary, the terminology that we use in R&D.

0:13.1

I was sharing with all of you. And I got through a lot of it, but not all of it. So we're going to pick up where I left off today.

0:19.5

And I think we're going to finish today. It's the plan that we're going to finish today. Okay, so I left off at

0:24.0

parasitic. So we're up to R. Ravenloft. So Ravenloft, or not Ravenloft, Rivendale. Sorry,
