0:00.0	Hey, it's Thomas Frank. 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,
0:12.9	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
0:25.4	experiment. And since everything's ad-free, it's also the best way for you to get our content.
0:55.4	Right to the inforium, I'm Thomas Frank. My good friend, Martin Bami, is here. Not actually here,
1:01.2	but you know, here on the internet as my co-host. Yeah, you're in pineapple us now.
1:08.6	Yeah. Yep. That's, that's a fact, but we still share the same linear time space.

1:44.8	because they would burn your legs. But then I've seen some designs where the jet pack is sort of
1:51.2	like far away from your back. There's just like a pole arm that kind of extends from the part
1:57.5	that you attached to your body. And then the jet is kind of like, I don't know, a couple of feet
2:02.7	back. I mean, that sounds ridiculous the way I'm picturing it. So that also, my issue is more that
2:10.0	humans aren't really smart enough to deserve cars. I don't know that we should push further than
2:14.1	that. You're probably right. We should have public transport and bikes and then we should calm down.
2:20.8	Ooh, okay. So I'm going to jump in there for our little project check-in slash life check-in
