This week, Liz and I discuss many things, from Seattle elections to Seattle transit. Also non-Seattle stuff, though I'll be damned if I can remember what any of that was, besides, of course, our recurring Noëlle's Health segment. It never ends, this shit.

This week we're talking about food. Lots of food talk. Ramen. Eggslut. Whether avocado belongs on a breakfast sandwich. You know the shit. Let's get into it.

This week, we're researching power drills and office chairs, discussing VPNs and how companies make it impossible to do anything when behind one, and then we go back into talking about Apple shit again. Listen, I'm sorry, but sometimes a laptop breaks and you need to talk through your next steps. We're not an Apple podcast, but we're not NOT an Apple podcast, y'know?

This week, we're talking Taylor, trying to figure out how to snake our tubs, getting stuck on productivity apps (again) and discussing the annoyance of trying to see a goddamn movie in the theater before it leaves the goddamn theater it's only been there for a month why is it already on streaming just let it have a proper theatrical run you absolute fuckwits

This week, we talk about audio engineering, printing photos too fucking big, text-based radio, and logo design for America.

This week we talk about Christmas traditions and rambunctiousness via "gävle goat", gay cowboys via "cowboys are frequently secretly fond of each other" and film scanning, via "nikon scan snow leopard."

This week, we're looking at "ffmpeg documentation", visiting the "regal downtown seattle", and contemplating going to see "phish the sphere" next year. And at the end of the day, you do get a hot dog out of it.

It's a good week, where Noëlle wants to know how to "tell Sonarr to redownload everything" while Liz just wants a "long peacoat."

It's hard to stay up to date with the culture, which is probably why Liz was googling "frasier reboot" and Noëlle got caught up on "taylor tomlinson after midnight", but don't worry, there's meaningful conversation about solving real-life problems, too, such as "LED light strip 2700k" or "wh-1000m4 audio issue on mac". We wouldn't waste your time with anything that wasn't worth wasting your time.

I had a hard drive failure and this episode was saved by Backblaze. Thanks, Backblaze.

Oh boy, it's time for Noëlle to learn about cooking. What's a "french brigade"? Why are you looking up "bon appetit apron"? Did Liz keep her "nyt crossword streak"? All these answers and more in a new Idle Curiosities!

We talk about literature! hardware issues! crafting! singing! and that's just Noëlle's search terms! Liz also had *an experience*, which you want to hear about.

Listen, at this point I'm not even writing summaries anymore. Here's an episode we made that I completely forgot to post. I'm professional.

Nothing went wrong while recording this episode. Fuck you for even suggesting that. God.

We talk about Sufjan Stevens, who has announced his first solo songwriter record since Carrie & Lowell (I'll be dead in the ground before I consider The Ascension a solo songwriter record) and honestly what else needs to be talked about in such meaningful times? Also Jelly Belly.

We talk about SyFy original programmming, the slow decline into irrelevance, and the bumbling police. All in one tightly edited hour of content. Amazing, isn't it, this world of ours.

It's a scorcher of a week in the IC studios as we talk about hot strike summer, barbenheimer, and the future of cinema.

We talk more about moving, WWDC, and the slow death of the internet.
