If you ever want to catch us live, well, we're hitting the road again. We're returning to London on April 11th, 7 p.m. at Rich Mix. Tickets are available now, and you can check the show notes for the link. They'll also be live stream tickets if you can't make it to London, so you can still watch us. And there'll be a separate link for that. So make sure you're

getting the right tickets when you want to see us. Our merch store is restocked. So if you missed any of the

live show, specific merch, and wherever date that we went to and you couldn't make it to, it's all on

our merch store. LLBDmerch.com. So get your orders in while they last. We only have certain

order in. Once again, that is LLBDmerch.com. And the link will also be in the show notes. Thanks.

And we hope to see you in London.

If you close your eyes and you picture a bomber in World War II, you're probably picturing

the B-17 Flying Fortress. The U.S. built over 12,000 of them. And that is not even the most

produced heavy bomber of World War II. That goes to a different U.S. produced bomber, the B24, with nearly

20,000, which is just insane numbers. This is all during the war years specifically. It's a kind of

industrial wartime muscle that the world had never seen before and quite possibly can never see again. Because even

in the advent of some future horrible war, these kind of things just don't need to be built in

this number, nor can they be due to technological advances. It's kind of like, dare I say,

airborne insertions where like parachute insertions, like the technology

that the skill set still exists, the technology obviously, they've adapted to modern planes,

modern airframes, but like the using planes to deploy troops to quickly by parachute, like

there's, it's just not the method of choice anymore because helicopters exist among other things.

And it's like, for a huge number of people, sure, but like it's just not a thing that is used.

It was like at the kind of bleeding edge in World War II. But things have changed and similar like

you just described. I mean, for one, there's just, well, there's this one technology that makes,

that can level an entire city without needing, you know, a fucking flying V duck formation of bombers.
