With an apology to the hearing-impaired, headphones are required for this audio recording quiz.
I heard the effect in the recording before he pointed it out, but with the expectation there was a technical problem, I assumed a microphone was out of phase with the other mics. This is his follow-up entry.
“Do Your Own Research” is a favorite slogan of conspiracy theory nuts. It was used during the pandemic to promote hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin. Valid research leads to the conclusion they are not treatments for Covid-19. DYOR has found a home in cryptocurrency circles.
At my high school reunion last night, a guy from my brother’s graduating class was pitching crypto. He said he has a Bachelor’s in Economics from the Wharton School. I told him I have a Bachelor’s in Economics from a small state college.
The Wharton School’s reputation has taken something of a hit from Trump’s fondness for touting his attendance there. For me, the guy last night added another mark against Wharton.
He talked up crypto as though his concentration had been in marketing. “The collapse of so many crypto exchanges?” I asked. “Corrections are expected.

Facebook wants me to watch their subscriber-submitted Reels. These examples are tame compared to others that have been appearing in my newsfeed.
Being an ‘Arlo and Janis’ fan must be the reason why Facebook’s AI is tempting me with scantily-clad young women. Not wanting to encourage the algorithm, I don’t watch them. The option to “See fewer posts like this” seems to have put more clothes on some of the girls.
Here’s one that YouTube recommends. Guitars and the straps holding them up immediately come to mind. I watched it because she’s left-handed. 😉
What hath TikTok wrought?
