Do you have anything a- to add? Did I miss anything on the advantages?
0:20
I think the real advantage is, is for precision growers.
0:23
You know, as you, as you get better at your craft at growing, people wanna add more and more things.
0:30
You know, you add, like, hydronic heating where you're putting, you know, hot water heat exactly where you want it, you know, maybe at the, right at the, at the soil, you know, to heat the, to get your soil temperatures up where you want them instead of heating the air.
0:44
So the more precise as a grower you get, the more these precision pieces of equipment you add in, and I think this is where you want precision airflow.
0:53
You want exactly the same airflow across your entire crop.

So I think the...

11 MINS LATER

11:54
Yeah.
38:26
Mm.
38:26
And, um, and I think that part of what the show is doing well is simply showing simple integrity in leadership, uh, and competency in leadership over science.
38:38
And we have real questions about competency in science and everything that happened to everyone throughout COVID.
38:43
Uh, and so the show being able to kinda just say, "Here are competent people who are- have training and who are experts at what they do, and they're trying to...
38:51
They're, they're not infallible, but they're trying to show that they care," uh, is an important sort of thing to put out into the world.
39:50
Mm.
39:50
Um, but the issues are real, you know? There, there have to be places in which the sacred spaces, spaces which can't be intruded upon by, by Immigration and Cus- Custom Enforcement, no matter how appropriate it is, whether you believe that they should be enforcing or not enforcing.
40:06
Um, we have to have spaces for our, all of our health, for all, for public health, where people can go and be seen and not be afraid, uh, or else we endanger everyone.
6:12
Totally agree with you.
6:13
You know, and we used to talk about it as, as water cooler, but now of course, it's all social media.... people want a show that's their show, that they connect to, that they can find, that they can tell other people about, and then that the next day after they've watched it or after the weekend after they've watched it, they can talk with their friends about it.
6:27
Talk about it, exchange social media, tweet about it, do whatever you wanna do.
6:31
I think that's actually an important part of the viewing experience, and we've gotten away from it in the streaming simply because of the size of the shows, how long they take to produce, uh, the streaming, the drop all of the episodes, you know, at once, uh, Netflix model, which makes it very difficult.
6:47
Again, none of these are particularly original observation for me, but we all have this experience of having watched something and come, you know, on a- that got dropped as a full six or eight episode order, and coming in saying, "Oh, are you watching?" And the other person says, like, "I'm only on episode two.
7:01
I don't wanna talk about it." [laughing]

21 MINS LATER

28:08
What is the appetite out there for, uh, another strike? I just feel like it would just be so devastating.
28:14
I don't think there's an appetite ever, really, for a strike, to tell you the truth.
