0:00.0	Hey, it's Thomas Frank, and I've just got a quick note for you before we get into the show.
0:03.5	If you've been enjoying the inforium or my videos over on YouTube, then you, my friend,
0:07.9	should get Nebula. On Nebula, you get ad-free versions about this podcast and my videos,
0:12.8	along with exclusive stuff, like extended versions of those videos. And it's not just our
0:17.2	stuff that you're going to get. Dozens of other creators are on Nebula, including Alieb Doll,
0:20.8	Windover Productions, Braincraft, Tearsoo, and lots more. Nebula gives us a chance to
0:25.3	experiment, and since everything's ad-free, it's also the best way for you to get our content.
0:55.4	All the time. That's because gray, cloudy, cold weather is good. I disagree. You heard
1:03.4	it here first, but that's why I moved to Colorado. That's my cold take. As far as I'm concerned,
1:08.4	the snow can stay in the mountains, and where I can ski on it, and then not be down here.
1:14.5	Though, I don't know if I would call it as my first in exports injury, but first
1:20.9	went on a long, long time. I went snowboarding over the weekend and caught an edge, flipped over
1:27.9	and sprained my shoulder. It had to happen eventually. That's true. I did have to happen eventually.
1:33.6	I do a lot of stupid stuff, and by stupid, I mean, risky, yet calculated, sport things.
1:41.1	But at some point, it's going to happen. Luckily, it's not too bad. When it happened,
1:46.0	I was worried it was a torn rotator cuff, but I went to the urgent care, and the lady said,
1:51.2	probably isn't that because if it was, we'd have you do these exercises, and your arm would just
1:55.9	drop to your side. That's good. Involuntarily. Three days later, I would say there's discomfort
2:03.6	moving it in certain ways, which is what I'm trying to minimize it for now, and not so much pain.
2:09.2	I'm doing what they tell me to do, icing it, keeping it not so mobile, and then going to
2:17.6	at least a couple of physical therapy sessions in a week or two to rehabilitate it.
2:22.8	Yep. Probably a good idea. It'd be that way sometimes. Anyway, we got to do some project
