1221. This week, we talk to Roger Kreuz, associate dean at the University of Memphis, about the "maxxing" craze. We look at how it started with min-maxxing in 1990s gaming culture, how looksmaxxing spread from the manosphere, and why it isn't quite a suffix. Then we look at what that second X is doing, why "Nixon-maxxing" might be peak maxxing, and why a brand picking up your slang usually kills it.Find Daniel and Chris on LinkedIn, and more about their projects at Perfectit.com.Save the date for Grammarpalooza — The Game Show: Thursday, September 24 at 5 p.m. PT / 8 p.m. ET.A hearty thank-you to our Keepers of the Commas and one Immortal on Patreon.

It's DEATH MATCH season again, and it's time to take two of the very best PANTERA albums and make them battle it out in the Bunkerpoon Octagon, featuring 1992's multi-platinum VULGAR DISPLAY OF POWER against the 1994 Billboard Number 1 follow-up, FAR BEYOND DRIVEN.   VULGAR was under construction throughout the band's relentless tour for Cowboys From Hell in the states and following their legendary performance at the Monsters of Rock show in Moscow at Tushino airfield in 1991 in front of more than a million people after the fall of the Soviet Union. Possessing a far heavier, angrier, and potent sound than its predecessor, VULGAR had just raised the bar for metal and perfected the power groove metal sound that began on Cowboys.   DRIVEN, much like VULGAR, progressed forward in the same fashion, with a much more aggressive production quality and a sound that is effectively the hairier, darker, and uglier follow up to Vulgar with just as much of a beautifully brutal assault on the senses, not to mention an exponentially more intense album cover (NO, not THAT one!  The OTHER one…but also…definitely THAT one, for sure!)   It's time to throw down the gauntlet and unleash hell in the Bunkerpoon Octagon, because the time has come to pass judgment and “there can be only one” to reign victorious.    So “take your shoes off if you need to” and “get your Book of Sevens out” before you JOIN US to find out THE WINNER of this PANTERA HEAD-TO-HEAD DEATH MATCH, featuring two of the finest back-to-back Terry Date produced albums in metal history: VULGAR DISPLAY OF POWER & FAR BEYOND DRIVEN.   Visit www.metalnerdery.com/podcast for more on this episode Help Support Metal Nerdery https://www.patreon.com/metalnerderypodcast Leave us a Voicemail to be played on a future episode: 980-666-8182 Metal Nerdery Tees and Hoodies – metalnerdery.com/merch and kindly leave us a review and/or rating on your favorite Podcast app Follow us on the Socials: Facebook - Instagram - TikTok Email: metalnerdery@gmail.com Can't be LOUD Enough Playlist on Spotify Metal Nerdery Munchies on YouTube @metalnerderypodcast   Show Notes & Time Stamps: (00:01): “That's the noise I make…” / “Have y'all seen the Chick-Fil-A Chicken & Waffle thing?” / “I love The Lord's chicken…but their biscuits aren't good… / #ChickFilA “As long as we're talking shit about fast food…”/ #BK #chickennuggets “Cats, Rats, & Bats Value Menu…” / ***WARNING: #listenerdiscretionisadvised ***  “That was Bill…about 35 years ago…” ***WELCOME BACK TO THE BUNKERPOON CENTER FOR METAL EXCELLENCE AND THE METAL NERDERY PODCAST!!!*** / “I did get the spicy (sandwich)…that's the move…”   (05:20): ***PATREON US at www.patreon.com/metalnerderypodcast *** “This episode is gonna feature some SHITTAH sent to us by the band…this band is called Maidenhead…” #EPK #bandcamp “I saw that name and immediately thought of an Iron Maiden cover band…” “Matthew promised he'd be totally respectful…maybe not ‘totally' respectful…” #Maidenhead KILL OR BE KILLED - feat.

¿Cansado de que tu monitor de uptime consuma más recursos que los propios servicios que monitoriza? Llevaba años usando Uptime Kuma, una herramienta fantástica, potente y muy fácil de configurar. Pero cuando miras el docker stats y ves 150 MB de RAM, 900 MB de disco y un 2% de CPU para monitorizar solo seis páginas, algo no cuadra. Sobre todo cuando lo único que quieres es que te llegue una notificación si algo falla, no tener un mini-Netflix corriendo en tu servidor.Por eso creé Watchbit: un monitor de uptime escrito en Rust con frontend en React, base de datos SQLite embebida y autenticación OIDC con Pocket ID. El resultado: 7 MB de RAM, 20 MB de disco y 0,2% de CPU. Sí, has leído bien. Estamos hablando de reducir el consumo de memoria a una vigésima parte, el de disco a una cuadragésima parte y el de CPU a una décima parte. Y todo esto sin perder funcionalidad: monitores HTTP, TCP, Ping, heartbeats, notificadores vía Telegram, Matrix, NTFY, Gotify, Discord, Email, y páginas de estado públicas.En este episodio te cuento cómo migré de Uptime Kuma a Watchbit, te enseño el dashboard por tarjetas, los heartbeats, los monitores, los notificadores y las 7 razones por las que no pienso volver atrás. También te explico el stack técnico: Rust con Axum y Tokio en el backend, React con TypeScript en el frontend, SQLite como base de datos embebida (adiós a PostgreSQL y MariaDB), y OIDC con Pocket ID para olvidarte de gestionar usuarios y contraseñas. Todo en un solo binario, sin dependencias externas, con una imagen Docker que apenas ocupa 20 MB.Además te muestro cómo configurar los monitores con intervalos personalizados, las plantillas de notificación para eventos de down, up, latencia y expiración de certificados, y el sistema de backup integrado que te permite exportar e importar toda la configuración en un solo clic. También te cuento el proceso de optimización que seguí: inicialmente hacía un bucle que recorría todos los monitores, pero después los separé en tareas independientes con Tokio para maximizar la eficiencia.Si tienes un VPS ajustado, una Raspberry Pi Zero, o simplemente quieres ser racional con los recursos de tu servidor, este episodio te interesa. Porque al final, de esto va el self-hosting: de tener herramientas que hagan su trabajo sin que el servidor se resienta. Como siempre, te dejo el docker-compose, las variables de entorno y las instrucciones en las notas del episodio para que puedas probarlo tú mismo en cinco minutos.Capítulos:0:00 - Introducción: la necesidad de monitorizar páginas web1:54 - Uptime Kuma: características y panel de control4:45 - Ventajas e inconvenientes de Uptime Kuma5:36 - El problema del consumo: CPU, RAM y disco7:05 - Watchbit: OIDC, dashboard y diseño por tarjetas8:43 - Comparativa de consumo: Watchbit vs Uptime Kuma10:53 - Heartbeats y monitores en Watchbit12:37 - Configuración de monitores, notificadores y plantillas14:31 - Ajustes, backup y stack técnico (Rust + React + SQLite)17:26 - 7 razones para migrar e instalaciónMás información y enlaces en las notas del episodio

The MacVoices Live! panel shares first impressions of iOS 27 and Apple's latest operating system updates, covering stability, performance, interface changes, Apple Pay, Weather, Vision Pro, and upgrade strategies. The discussion then turns to the new Apple Watch Live Rewind feature that will be coming later this year. How the assistive feature will work, its privacy safeguards, and accessibility benefits spark a debate that touches on, recording concerns, social implications, and whether controversy could threaten the feature's  future. The panel includes Chuck Joiner, Jim Rea, Guy Serle, David Ginsburg, Eric Bolden, Jeff Gamet, Brian Flanigan-Arthurs, and Web Bixby. MacVoices is supported by CleanMyMac from MacPaw. Get Tidy Today!

Mentre il mondo tech è ancora distratto dall'imminente uscita dell'iPhone Duo, su IO&TEch accendiamo i riflettori sulla vera killer feature del 2026 di Apple: iOS 27. Il primo grande rilascio software dell'era di John Ternus non porta con sé rivoluzioni grafiche appariscenti, ma una stabilità e un'ottimizzazione che non si vedevano da anni. Testato a fondo su dispositivi insospettabili come l'iPhone SE 2020 o un anziano iPad 9, iOS 27 abbatte il surriscaldamento estivo, allunga la batteria e riporta a nuova vita l'intero ecosistema. Ma la vera star è Siri AI, che approda ufficialmente su macOS in Europa: l'ho provata sul mio MacBook Pro M1 Pro e vi racconto come Apple Intelligence stia rivoluzionando il "personal context" sfruttando i dati in locale. E c'è spazio anche per uno sfogo tecnico contro il nuovo e caotico menu dei Comandi Rapidi!

Sony gets dragged, Nintendo gets chaotic, and a sci-fi showdown on Nuketown turns into one of the wildest breakdowns yet. If you care about game news, weird industry moves, and a deep dive into two armored legends colliding, this episode has a little bit of everything.John and Dean kick things off with a stacked news run: new release dates, Epic Games freebies, Kojima leaving PlayStation for Xbox, Sony's digital ownership drama, the absurdly fast progress on a PS5 emulator, No Man's Sky's latest anniversary update, and even a bizarre Miami plan to turn parts of the city into real-life Vice City. They also hit indie standouts like Tenebris Somnia, The Isle, Broke Wizards, Rewindead, Active Matter, Mayhem a la carte, and Smash Royale.Then the episode shifts into the main event: Sci-Fi September brings Marcus Fenix from Gears of War face-to-face with Jim Raynor from StarCraft. You'll hear both characters broken down in detail, from their military histories and signature weapons to the brutal tech and battlefield tools that make them so dangerous.We break down how each fighter actually wins, what their armor and loadouts mean in a real matchup, and why this battle is much closer than it first looks. Please consider leaving us a 5 Star Rating and/or Review, so we can continue to grow!Check out the other shows on the Dynamic Podcast Network, including:Dynamic Duel: Marvel vs DCMax Destruction: Movie FightsSenjoh World: Anime BattlesCheck us out on Instagram, TikTok, Bluesky, and Mastodon!And check out our Website, hosted by Riverside.com!#sega #nintendo #microsoft #xbox #epicgames #gog #steam #valve #gearsofwar #marcusfenix #starcraft #jimraynor

Continuing our I Love the 90s series, we move on to 1996, the year the Atlanta Olympics captivated the country and Bill Clinton edged out Bob Dole to win a second term in the White House. Don and Dude drop the needle on one studio album from festival rock royalty and one alt hip hop record that became a crossover phenomenon, connecting both records to a world of holiday shoppers fighting over Tickle Me Elmo, scientists cloning a sheep named Dolly, and dance floors everywhere catching the Macarena.The AlbumsPhish – Billy Breathes (1996)Formed in Burlington, Vermont in 1983 around guitarist Trey Anastasio, bassist Mike Gordon, drummer Jon Fishman and keyboardist Page McConnell, Phish built a devoted touring and tape trading fan base well before recording its sixth studio album at Bearsville Studios in the Catskills between February and June 1996. Producer Steve Lillywhite, brought in partway through on Dave Matthews' recommendation despite never having heard the band, helped steer Phish toward shorter, more direct and emotionally exposed songwriting, a marked shift from their denser earlier records.Fugees – The Score (1996)Formed by Wyclef Jean, Lauryn Hill and Pras Michel out of New Jersey's hip hop scene in the early 1990s, the Fugees followed their inconsistent 1994 debut Blunted on Reality with a major creative reset, taking greater control of their sound and recording much of the follow up in Wyclef's cousin's New Jersey basement. Released February 13, 1996, The Score fused hard edged East Coast rap with reggae, soul, R&B and live instrumentation, with Lauryn Hill's ability to move between rapping and singing becoming central to the group's identity. Diggin AlbumsMastodon – Marrow Deep (2026)Atlanta metal band Mastodon's first album without founding guitarist Brent Hinds, who died in 2025, leans on Greek mythology to explore life, death and destiny, with guests including Josh Homme, Geezer Butler and Randy Blythe.Stone Temple Pilots – Tiny Music...Songs from the Vatican Gift Shop (1996)San Diego's Stone Temple Pilots traded the grunge weight of Core and Purple for brighter guitars, psychedelic textures and glam swagger on this Brendan O'Brien produced left turn, spinning off Mainstream Rock No. 1s in "Big Bang Baby," "Trippin' on a Hole in a Paper Heart" and "Lady Picture Show."Dexys Midnight Runners – Love (2026)The English band fronted by Kevin Rowland, best known for "Come On Eileen," release their first album under the full Dexys Midnight Runners name since 1985, a David Holmes produced record built around stories from Rowland's own life.Dinosaur Jr. – There Near (2026)The Amherst, Massachusetts trio's thirteenth studio album was made in short bursts over about a year, with J Mascis reportedly reaching for the same vintage amp from their mid 1980s debut to chase a rawer, more fuzzed out guitar sound.Follow & Support Follow the show on Instagram, Facebook, Threads and Bluesky @albumnerds, email your own favorites to podcast@albumnerds.com, and support the podcast by subscribing, rating, reviewing and sharing it with another music obsessive who still loves hearing whole albums front to back."There's more to life than a little money, you know.

Hoy te traigo un episodio que llevaba tiempo queriendo grabar. En el episodio 829 te hablé sobre skills, pero me quedé con la sensación de haberme enrollado sin mostrar nada concreto. Así que le he dado la vuelta a la tortilla y en esta ocasión te traigo siete MCPs que he seleccionado uno a uno para que veas de qué va esto del Model Context Protocol y, sobre todo, para que compruebes cómo transforman lo que puede hacer tu inteligencia artificial.Porque hay que decirlo claro: la IA es tonta. Literalmente. No sabe qué hora es, no sabe leer un archivo, no sabe si tienes issues abiertos en GitHub, no sabe cómo te llamas. Cada vez que empiezas una conversación con cualquier modelo de lenguaje, empiezas de cero. Y aquí es donde entran los MCPs, que no son ni más ni menos que herramientas: manos, ojos y oídos para que la IA pueda hacer cosas útiles de verdad.El Model Context Protocol es un estándar abierto creado por Anthropic que funciona como un *USB-C para la IA*. Un conector universal que permite que cualquier aplicación de IA se conecte con cualquier fuente de datos o herramienta externa. Y lo mejor es que no es propietario, al contrario que los plugins de ChatGPT. Cualquiera puede crear un MCP, y de hecho te cuento cómo hacerlo con Python o Rust.En este episodio repaso siete MCPs que uso en mi día a día. Empiezo por el Filesystem, que permite a la IA leer, escribir, buscar y editar archivos en tu sistema, con control de acceso para que no haga tonterías. Sigo con el SQLite, ideal para consultar bases de datos locales de agenda, finanzas o cualquier aplicación que uses. Después llega el GitHub, el servidor oficial de GitHub escrito en Go, que te permite gestionar issues, pull requests, repositorios y mucho más sin salir del chat.También te hablo del Web Fetch, que permite a la IA leer páginas web y convertirlas a Markdown ahorrando una barbaridad de tokens. Y del Time, que es una tontería pero imprescindible: la IA puede saber la hora en cualquier huso horario del mundo. Luego está el Memory, que construye un grafo de conocimiento persistente para que la IA recuerde quién eres, qué prefieres y qué proyectos tienes entre manos, incluso entre sesiones. Y por último, el Sequential Thinking, una herramienta de razonamiento paso a paso que obliga a la IA a pensar de forma estructurada cuando se enfrenta a problemas complejos.También hablo de cómo configurar estos MCPs en OpenCode, Claude Desktop y VS Code, y cuánto consumen de RAM y tokens. Porque no es lo mismo activar veinte servidores que tener solo los que necesitas. Y para rematar, comparo MCPs con skills: las skills le dicen a la IA cómo comportarse, los MCPs le dan capacidades para actuar.Y si te pica la curiosidad por crear tu propio MCP, también te cuento las diferencias entre usar el SDK de Python (súper rápido de prototipar) y el de Rust (más rendimiento, menos consumo de RAM).Capítulos del episodio:0:00 - Introducción: la IA necesita herramientas para ser útil2:30 - ¿Qué es MCP?

This week's show treats the event as the main story and breaks it down announcement by announcement. Everything Apple Announced at the September 2026 Event - MacRumors How Apple Presented the Event: John Ternus Takes the Lead The presentation itself is part of the story. This was John Ternus's first major product event as Apple CEO. Tim Cook appeared as a cameo in the opening film, a deliberate nod to the leadership transition, while Ternus served as the event's primary presenter and connective voice throughout. He also handled the event's signature iPhone Duo reveal, giving the new CEO the biggest product moment of the show. John Ternus Introduces Apple's "Intelligent Personal Hub" — In his first Apple Event as CEO, John Ternus laid out Apple's vision for AI, positioning the iPhone as the "intelligent personal hub" at the center of a user's digital life. Rather than requiring a new category of AI hardware, Ternus argued that the iPhone already has everything an ideal AI device needs: powerful on-device processing, cameras and microphones, connectivity, all-day battery life, personal context, and deep integration with Apple's ecosystem. Privacy is the key differentiator, with Apple Intelligence processing requests on-device whenever possible and using Private Cloud Compute when greater AI capability is required. Apple CEO John Ternus says the best AI device is still the iPhone | TechCrunch iPhone Duo Introduced as "one more thing", Apple's first foldable iPhone is the biggest hardware swing of the event. Opened, the Duo has a 7.6-inch inner display and becomes Apple's thinnest iPhone; closed, it uses a 5.4-inch outer display. Apple says the inner display uses a layered folding construction and a nano-texture surface designed to reduce glare and make the crease less visible. The device is IP68 rated, supports MagSafe, ships with iOS 27.1, supports the $79 USB-C Apple Pencil rather than Apple Pencil Pro, and does not include an Action button. Battery expectations vary depending on which display is used. Apple is also offering dedicated Duo cases and a folio with kickstand. Design Team explaining the reasoning that went behind the Duo's design https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=do3UqxfYc3I      iPhone Duo is more proof that Microsoft's brilliant ideas make great Apple products iPhone Duo is Dust-Tight With IP68 Rating, Unlike Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold8 - MacRumors Apple Explains What's Inside the iPhone Duo's Folding Screen - MacRumors iPhone Duo Beats iPhone Air as Apple's Thinnest iPhone, But Only When Open - MacRumors Here's What Apple Says About the iPhone Duo's Crease - MacRumors iPhone Duo Will Ship With iOS 27.1, Hinting at Update's Release Date - MacRumors iPhone Duo Only Works With the $79 USB-C Apple Pencil, Not the Apple Pencil Pro - MacRumors iPhone Duo Doesn't Have an Action Button iPhone Duo Battery Life Depends on Which Screen You Use - MacRumors iPhone Duo Gets Its Own Case and Folio With Kickstand - MacRumors iPhone Duo Supports MagSafe Charging - MacRumors Apple unveils iPhone Duo - Apple iPhone 18 Pro / Pro Max iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max focus on camera control, sustained performance, battery life, and Apple Intelligence. The A20 Pro is paired with a redesigned vapor chamber; the camera system adds variable aperture plus more manual controls, and Photographic Styles gains texture and grain controls. The Pro Max gets the headline battery advantage and differs from the Pro in some hardware details. Other discussion points include the Pro Max's increased weight, storage pricing, expanded eSIM-only markets, different modems between the two Pro models, RAM differences, a smaller Dynamic Island that can accommodate three Live Activities, and Apple Reference Image for photo-authenticity verification. Apple also discontinued the iPhone 17 Pro line and adjusted prices elsewhere in the iPhone lineup.

This turns AppleCare into more of a household subscription and raises the practical question of when one family plan becomes cheaper or simpler than maintaining separate coverage. Apple Adds AppleCare One Family Plan for Up to Six People AppleCare - Apple Siri AI and Usage Limits Siri AI is rolling out in beta with iOS 27, but Apple's fine print says some server-dependent Apple Intelligence features can be subject to usage limits. Apple also says expanded access will be available for a fee. That makes the long-term business model for cloud-assisted Siri and Apple Intelligence a significant part of the story, not just the feature demonstrations.

Rolling Stone has published an excerpt from Dave Mustaine's memoir In My Darkest Hour in which he writes that David Ellefson's time in Megadeth "was likely near" its end even before the 2021 leaked-video scandal that got him fired — reflecting on their 2004 lawsuit, Ellefson's 2010 return as a salaried player rather than a creative partner, and a friendship he says was built on shared addiction. For the record: the person Ellefson was involved with was nineteen, the grooming allegations made online were false, and Ellefson reported the unauthorised distribution of the footage to police himself. Also on this episode: Suicide Silence announce their new album Graceless for November 20 via Century Media, produced by Austin Coupe and mixed by Hunter Young, arriving mid-way through a twenty-eight-date North American tour with Emmure, AngelMaker and Synestia — with founding guitarist Chris Garza back in the band. And the estate of the late Brent Hinds has filed a lawsuit against Mastodon in Fulton County, alleging his ownership stake in the band was never properly bought out, that an $80,000 cheque came with no accounting behind it, and that his likeness was used on the artwork and promotion for Marrow Deep after his death. Loaded Radio is hard rock and heavy metal news, interviews and radio. Since 2009.

We look at why it invents its own rules when you ask for Chicago or AP style, why it goes wrong in the middle of a document rather than at the ends, and why an AI that over-edits is harder to clean up than one that under-edits.Find Daniel and Chris on LinkedIn, and more about their projects at Perfectit.com.Save the date for Grammarpalooza — The Game Show: Thursday, September 24 at 5 p.m. PT / 8 p.m. ET.A hearty thank-you to our Keepers of the Commas and one Immortal on Patreon.

Very few bands in the history of recorded music have managed to maintain the same lineup for as long as Atlanta, Georgia's own progressive metal titans, MASTODON. After Brent Hinds' departure from the band in 2025 and the tragic permanence of his untimely demise which followed just a few months later, it seemed that after 25 years the band which Brann Dailor, Bill Kelliher, and Troy Sanders had launched with Hinds was finished.   Thankfully, the remaining three were able to transmute their tragedy into a new era for the band by introducing two new members (Nick Johnston on guitar & João Nogueira on keyboards) and crafting one of the most powerful comeback albums of all time with MARROW DEEP, the band's 9th studio album and perhaps one of their most well rounded and progressive albums to date.   There are so many layers to this album that it's nigh impossible to digest it all in one single listen. With familiar sonic textures, elements, and themes that span all the way through the band's catalog (from Remission to Hushed and Grim) combined with the contributions of Nick Johnston and João Nogueira, MARROW DEEP possesses an almost darker, 70's flavored progressive quality, making the album a mountaintop moment for “Mastodon 2.0” and resulting in one of the finest and most sophisticated albums of the band's career.    Buckle up and get ready to find out which disgusting sounding form of hydration is actually “closer to broth”, always remember that releasing an album on 9/11 will ensure that you “never forget”, and prepare for a reading from “The Book of Sevens” when you JOIN US as we dive into what may very well be a contender for Album of the Year with MARROW DEEP from MASTODON.

Este es el primer episodio de una serie de cuatro que voy a dedicar a herramientas que he implementado y que uso en mi día a día. Las cuatro comparten stack: Rust en el backend y React con TypeScript en el frontend. Y la primera es, sin duda, una de las que más me facilitan la vida: Popuplatrs.¿Te suena el ritual de publicar un artículo y tener que abrir Telegram, luego Mastodon, luego X, luego LinkedIn, luego Bluesky, y encima personalizar el texto para cada plataforma? Pues eso es exactamente lo que Popuplatrs elimina de tu día a día. Le das uno o varios feeds RSS, Atom o YouTube, y él se encarga de leer las novedades y publicarlas automáticamente en las redes que le configures. Con plantillas personalizables, programación de horarios, reintentos automáticos y un panel web desde el que controlarlo todo.En este episodio te cuento por qué me decidí a crear esta herramienta, qué alternativas existen (Buffer, Hootsuite, IFTTT, Zapier) y por qué ninguna me convencía al ser SaaS o no estar pensadas para funcionar a partir de feeds. También te explico la arquitectura técnica: Rust con Axum, SQLite en modo WAL, autenticación OIDC con Pocket ID, y un sistema de plantillas con MiniJinja que te permite personalizar el mensaje para cada red social.Popuplatrs soporta hasta nueve publicadores diferentes: Telegram, X (Twitter), Mastodon, Bluesky, LinkedIn, Threads, Discord, Matrix y OpenObserve para logging. Cada uno con su propia configuración de autenticación y límites de caracteres. Por ejemplo, en Bluesky publica respetando el límite de 300 caracteres, en X primero lanza el título y luego un reply con el enlace para aprovechar mejor el espacio, y en Discord usa webhooks que se configuran en segundos.El sistema de plantillas es una de las partes que más me gustan. Usa MiniJinja, un motor compatible con Jinja2, y te permite definir plantillas distintas para cada plataforma. Puedes truncar el texto a un número de caracteres, limitar las palabras, eliminar HTML, y combinar el título con la descripción como más te convenga.

1218. This week, we look at "dog-directed speech" — the high-pitched, sing-songy register people love to use with dogs — and what the research says about whether dogs actually like it. Then we look at why it's "bated breath" and not "baited breath," and how Shakespeare used the phrase in "The Merchant of Venice." Plus, we have a familect about "spicy water."The dog segment was by Karen Lunde, a career writer and editor. She writes I'll Go First, a newsletter where she shares her story, and then hands you a writing prompt and a metaphorical pen.

How many cores does your machine have, 10, 18? Your async Python code uses just one of them. That isn't a bug in asyncio. That's the design, and optimizing event loops to be faster by 20% doesn't change it. So Giovanni Barillari started over. Joe is the creator of Granian, the Rust-based server that powers Talk Python. His new project is TonIO, an async runtime written from scratch for free-threaded Python. Real threads, a handful of primitives instead of asyncio's pile of them, and it flat out refuses to start if the GIL is on.

1217. This week, we talk to Florence Hazrat, author of "On the Mark," about how punctuation evolved over 2,000 years. We look at why ancient Greek and Roman writing had no spaces between words, how a librarian in Alexandria introduced the first marks to help readers, and why the Renaissance brought a burst of new punctuation that then mostly stopped. Then we look at why a period can make a short text message feel aggressive, whether emoji count as punctuation, and how failed inventions like the interrobang tried to join the ranks. Find Florence Hazrat on Instagram or her website. A hearty thank-you to our Keepers of the Commas on Patreon.

The members of Mastodon sit down for an incredibly honest conversation about their new album Marrow Deep. Bill, Troy, and Brann share the painful journey of making this record following the departure and subsequent death of guitarist Brent Hinds, as well as the loss of Brann's mother. They talk candidly about the documentary 'Mastodon in the Room' they created to address Brent's exit from the band, the challenges of maintaining a 25-year brotherhood, and how channeling grief into their music has become therapeutic. Following that, Eddie opens up about spending an afternoon with the country icon, Dolly Parton, when she made her rock covers album. He recounts how she declined her Rock Hall induction to make room for deserving rock artists, then created 'Rockstar' with 39 tracks featuring everyone from Steven Tyler to Sting. Eddie shares behind-the-scenes stories from their interview session in Nashville, including Slash's frantic texts and her genuine knowledge of every rock artist on the record. Kevin Cronin also chimes in to discuss duetting with Dolly on 'Keep On Loving You.' Closing the podcast, blues rock guitarist Jared James Nichols discusses his latest album Louder Than Fate. The conversation covers everything from workout routines on tour and advice from George Lynch about getting too bulked up, to collaborating with Keith Nelson, Tyler Bryant, and Tuk Smith on new material. Jared also opens up about his relationship with Gibson Guitars, including his signature Les Paul models and brand ambassador role.
