Watch creative people work with both feet
0:02
and meters. The answer to that at
0:04
the end the show. My name's Tom
0:06
Scott and this is lateral. If
0:15
you're looking for a podcast that's as which he
0:17
is that he's informative, you've come to the right
0:19
place. If you're looking for the washroom stone the
0:22
Colorado vote on the left. Hoping to show a
0:24
clean pair of hands today we have to new
0:26
players and one returning one. I'm going to start
0:28
with a new player join us for the first
0:30
time. I don't have described you other than the
0:33
internet's favorite blacksmith. I like steel. Hello!
0:36
That that works fine for me. I'll take
0:38
that. And
0:40
what I love is there was a little
0:42
bit of authentic shop. I call on your
0:44
microphone Here you are in your workshop having
0:46
just made stuff presumably. Yes, I'm
0:49
in the middle of making a a steam
0:51
power hammer. a miniature version of that thing.
0:53
That's that's that's quite fun. I'm in the
0:55
middle of doing that. as we speak, it's
0:58
over there. Are power hammer is
1:00
one of those things that. Is just
1:02
a giant whacking press? The repeatedly hit
1:04
something over and over right? Yes, Absolutely
1:06
Absolutely. Except I'm making ones about kind
1:09
of eight inches tall. Are
1:12
you going to use the tiny power? How much to
1:14
make a tiny apart from a better outlook on thought?
1:17
That. That would be quite fantastic. I want
1:19
to how small I could go. I definitely
1:21
want to try and heat up a little
1:23
bit of wire and and forged maybe little
1:25
forge something underneath it. That has to happen.
1:28
While. Very best of luck on the
1:30
shows day. Also join us for the
1:32
first time Climate scientist. I don't know
1:34
what to introduce you as these days
1:36
because partly you are talking means that
1:39
about climate. And then I also saw
1:41
you hosting Jogs cast Jingle Jam Who
1:43
Wants To Be A Millionaire? Who Wants
1:45
Three Millionaire parody about Jaffa Cakes? There's
1:47
just a lot going on with you
1:50
Simon, How you doing? Oh I'm right.
1:52
there is a lot going on. My
1:54
feel every single one of those things.
1:56
Right now I fit for cancer. Explicitly
1:58
as I became a dad. That long ago
2:00
I am running on very little sleeps if
2:03
I know Today That is exactly why I'm
2:05
leaving on that crosshairs. No winner or loser
2:07
in the show. There are no points are
2:09
other than bragging rights since since your own
2:12
self posts songs given you have plenty of
2:14
other things to judged. not by sign I
2:16
think you'll be I guess authored just returning
2:18
to the show for Ruff class. Been quite
2:21
a few episodes now. Think Roman Alice from
2:23
the Queer Movie podcast for Own You Tube
2:25
Channel. Welcome back How you doing I'm. Soon
2:28
grades are excited to have an
2:30
impact on you know, tired Dodd
2:32
on size say that and as
2:34
a little bit of a chance
2:36
that I might seem vaguely small
2:39
in front of people who seem
2:41
to be very close to function
2:43
as field of expertise of is.
2:45
Hop as wasn't them to the
2:48
self deprecating special everyone uses a
2:50
know laptop. That's what ensued Was
2:52
you all? This is the eighty
2:54
Seventh, so we've recorded. eighty seven
2:56
is an unlucky number in Australia.
2:58
boxes thirteen away from hundred, but
3:01
nothing will go wrong today. Nothing.
3:05
And with.sword of Damocles hanging over our heads
3:07
as tips and nervous like into question one.
3:10
In. It's early days. Why did
3:12
Amazon's computer systems repeatedly odin
3:14
nine puppies of a book about
3:16
lightens. Significance. And it's
3:19
early days. White Amazon's computer systems
3:21
repeatedly order nine copies of a
3:23
book about like. How
3:26
we spending lightens, which kind of like him.
3:28
I didn't know that was more than one. Kind of like
3:30
him as was kind of like him. As
3:33
the wilson is upon. Us the
3:35
Wolf assuming that that's how they're both pronounced. like
3:37
and like. In other words, The Wells. But
3:39
like Anthropic I've never heard about but
3:41
several people here happen for spectrometers picks
3:44
in college but I thought I'd I'd
3:46
say more. Fun Six and Knowledge ask.
3:49
Me that he's a cool A sale on the
3:51
Live on the podcast. A
3:54
success! It's. Okay so
3:56
could be the licensing or it could be the
3:58
nine saying he says desperate try to pull the
4:01
car back on the right us is like than
4:03
the plant like that that them a mosque type.
4:06
Plant. Just cities he
4:08
was you have the correct kind of like
4:10
and for this question Okay good. I wouldn't
4:13
normally clarify that so early on but I
4:15
feel like I want to steer away from
4:17
know Was. Away for the while Success
4:20
I guess is it's why so
4:22
is it? Something to do is
4:24
like. It in general
4:26
like a ordering something might be sued
4:28
Testing like making sure that something's working
4:30
properly. Kind of like had little tester
4:32
order. So I guess the question is
4:34
the exact he said. Simon is the
4:36
like an important it's the nine copies
4:38
in Poland or a both of those
4:40
together. What matters On Also, I mean this
4:42
is ernie Amazon right? So it is No.
4:44
Can be Something like machine learning that's been
4:46
trained on a date, set on is overeating
4:49
based on something. There's gotta be a human
4:51
input here. I'm. Guessing. Unless.
4:55
Is the book of a particular physical dimension that
4:57
was useful to Amazon in the early days. My.
5:00
With a using the book to hold doors
5:02
open in their office or something like that.
5:04
The. Same exact dimensions as a certain
5:07
bit of hard drives, a force packing.
5:09
What if a tax packages with the
5:11
book because it was the right size.
5:13
Does the word moss have anything to
5:16
do with computers or data storage? Moss
5:18
Ammo. As as does that mean some
5:20
things were like. Moss.
5:24
All. About moths and the computer. Get
5:26
where we need more of these Mosques.
5:28
Things I can think of: Bias. On.
5:31
Think of our Cesr open source software.
5:33
I don't think most hobby is inevitably
5:35
will be some computer algorithm because you
5:37
takes like any four letters a workout
5:39
or something. but in this case that's
5:41
not the canucks. Maybe. Someone
5:44
who works for the company wrote this that
5:46
I'm It's like I wanna try and make
5:48
sure that my birth is in effect on
5:50
like he is in the Mons. The people
5:52
know about it. I'm going to push up
5:54
to the best seller list. People have
5:56
been manipulating the best seller list from the very
5:58
beginning. For. The. Very stop got
6:01
isn't the reason behind it rohan
6:03
but you are getting closer than
6:05
with thinking about stock. I.
6:08
Seem to him you have a bit
6:10
of background with publishing here. Yeah, Yes,
6:13
That's the end of that. The authentic long as I.
6:15
Say it does not as I give many ideas
6:18
know it has not. What What if they
6:20
constantly sold nine copies of it? If
6:23
they've always been bought out by non copies
6:25
they would immediately restock say with are the
6:28
reason the any an institution might buy nine
6:30
copies of a book about Moss. Did
6:32
it say in the question how often the. It
6:34
was being we stop so being they signed
6:37
copies of being responsible. The question
6:39
says the computer systems work repeatedly ordering nine
6:41
copies. I think the nine thing is gonna
6:43
be important are the fact that it's one
6:45
over a power of eight tells me the
6:47
that's a it's a must send prime own.
6:50
I love that you went with the former
6:52
thing that but it's not important but it's
6:54
one more than a pair of to. It.
6:57
Is important that it's one less
6:59
than ten. Okay,
7:01
so computer systems care about positive the fact
7:04
that it's less than ten mins. This gotta
7:06
be a human thing, right? Yes,
7:09
Was it's a level out of a stack of
7:11
books or something? Not
7:14
quite or at low can sit
7:16
on a shelf. The books are
7:18
being ordered. But. That's
7:20
all the questions saying. The not being
7:23
assertive businesses and this is the early days
7:25
of Amazon. Cannot. Win something much at
7:27
all with moment. Oh I did
7:29
not like I and I just know that
7:31
it's gonna be so I like it comes
7:33
to the tell us when he was like
7:35
i thought cool cellphone it was a city
7:37
to the so many elements of this questions.
7:40
That could be ample and could be
7:42
some to do with testing the delivery
7:44
times to see how long their orders
7:47
are taking to ship. Because are we
7:49
not have this kind of slightly. We.
7:52
Got this relatively know, but it's not been delivered
7:54
so it's not about how long it takes to
7:56
get access. Not been delivered like so what if
7:58
somebody was to order? One object when
8:01
amazon. And. Then the computer computer would
8:03
add on nine other items to make it
8:05
up to ten items. For some reason, there
8:07
was a problem. The bike powers attend a
8:09
number of items being ordered. All. Apart.
8:12
From the last, but he right someone's ordering one
8:14
thing on Amazon. The computer systems
8:16
Adding nine copies of a book about
8:18
like and. And. Then passing the order
8:20
on. Why? Is it doing That
8:23
is the one thing that they order. Happen to also
8:25
be a book about like and. Ah,
8:28
they could have been a book
8:30
about anything. Was
8:32
it the first book in their system? It's.
8:35
A work around. Amazon.
8:38
Can't afford their houses at this point. I'm.
8:40
Of the hasn't really got anything that by you just
8:42
taking orders in the public and sending them on to
8:44
publishes. Is. It a publishers will
8:47
only ship a certain amount of fix out
8:49
like a pilot has like a certain amount
8:51
in and says that we also to think
8:53
of I know that like with with the
8:55
way that books or doing lacks in publishing
8:57
a traditional publishing it's that's a book Shuttle
8:59
order a certain amount and they can also
9:01
returned the books are. They haven't sold in
9:03
a lot of cases, but the idea is
9:05
that they couldn't predict how many or so
9:07
they'll send either, but it's unusual for them
9:10
to send like one. Copy of a
9:12
book? Guess that's it. The big
9:14
book companies would not fulfill an
9:16
order for one book because that's
9:18
of retail customer. So Amazon added
9:21
nine copies of a book they
9:23
knew would be out of print
9:25
and unavailable to the order. Ah,
9:29
Yes, the first phase or society
9:31
I think that's so I mean
9:33
soon. So the response was oh
9:35
yes his the books you order
9:37
we couldn't fulfill the other nine
9:39
sorry but you still get it
9:41
at the wholesale price, not the
9:43
retail price. Costs are really hope
9:45
the guy that wrote that book.
9:47
Was. Not alive at that point to
9:49
just have his heart crossed when he
9:52
realized off our loves. It isn't that
9:54
people really are so keen about my
9:56
book about like and this is just
9:58
around minute quantities. Ha!
10:02
Ha I guess have broad question along with
10:04
them either. Know the questions. I definitely don't
10:06
know the answers. Will start date with Alec
10:09
whenever you're ready. Or write this question
10:11
has been sent in by see row. The.
10:14
Jacksonville Jaguars Nfl team spent a
10:16
hundred and twenty million dollars on
10:18
then you practice facility. That.
10:21
Locker rooms included innovative
10:23
sensors that control traffic
10:25
signal style lights. What
10:28
did the sensors detect? And.
10:30
I'll read it again. The Jacksonville Jaguars
10:32
Nfl team spent one hundred and
10:34
twenty million dollars on then you
10:36
practice facility. That. Locker
10:39
rooms included innovative senses
10:41
the control traffic signal
10:43
style lights. What? Did
10:45
the sensors detect? The.
10:47
Only the Kanto for the Jacksonville drug use
10:50
is the her punchline for not being a
10:52
good at Her faculty into the I Saw
10:54
Them Live Once I saw Them at Wembley
10:56
and Is Them versus The Niners and they
10:59
scored a touchdown and there was so surprised
11:01
that they had scored a touchdown. but they
11:03
have people around sort of puppets spelling jag
11:05
you as but they came out in the
11:08
wrong. say said pursue Ruff as effective as
11:10
they run across Wembley a happy and. All.
11:13
We got an Nfl question for an old British
11:15
Pamela's while I were old for nine know jag
11:18
you are instead of Jaguar on it's going to
11:20
annoy so many and if I. Saw
11:24
through the traffic lights response you how
11:26
smelly their socks with I think I'm
11:28
allowed to say know. That
11:31
we're off to talk about this for wireless
11:34
is hop for should not have an overweight
11:36
or just runs. Wouldn't run through some things
11:38
Nfl things might like. I must be changed
11:40
The Sox every single game anyway.feel. seats because
11:42
people have lucky Sox right? People might not
11:44
want to change their socks. The
11:46
maybe they should if this team is the unlucky.
11:49
I. Just feel the have like a hundred and
11:51
twenty million dollar practice facility. see don't we just
11:53
to worry about the additional costs for parents are
11:55
probably have all the lucky sox you want in
11:58
the world. This is a sneer. The
12:00
traffic light system i'm assuming the element of
12:03
that have a guy system is like stop
12:05
go. Pause. Dot.
12:08
Dot sort of were looking for something that people
12:10
might wanna. Be. Waiting
12:12
for in order for them to be allowed to
12:14
do something or they have to stop doing something.
12:16
Or to be one of my parking systems
12:18
the half in fancy car parks now where
12:21
you can look up and see what green
12:23
lights were with as a parking space and
12:25
stuff that is showers available on lock or
12:27
is available but. It's the jaguars
12:29
but the not going to ruin is getting
12:31
closer. Of with with that there
12:33
is that there is some information that
12:35
is useful. Based.
12:37
On the traffic lights of if you're in a
12:40
changing room Would he need to know. You've
12:42
got. You can change your clothes, you can take a
12:44
shower, The. Can be capacity for
12:46
room. If
12:49
of American Football. so. As.
12:51
An explicit could be injury related.
12:54
Dot like that's what we go
12:56
to for American football's clothing out
12:59
of injuries genuinely. The amount of
13:01
like head injuries and American support could have
13:03
been like just a test. Their like not
13:05
like can I have a colorblind are they
13:07
looking up to they understand the lights? it's
13:09
if not you can get into that doctor
13:11
a real quick I have I feel like
13:13
a comedy. It's a bit cheating asking Esau
13:15
do that thing where I just say it
13:17
a quest singly to the cloud. Is.
13:20
It something that is he is in the
13:22
La creme bits. It's something that will be
13:24
used during like actual games. or is it
13:26
something that's he's steering. I'm like practice is
13:28
all while people are changing. Offer came as
13:30
soon as I didn't know there would be
13:32
a difference or like different things happening the
13:34
La creme because of as he they can
13:36
come back in half top of time. And.
13:39
The guts of for both arms or
13:41
thoughts on that. Or he could be
13:43
like author is done or it could be
13:46
a warning for anyone elses. isn't the have
13:48
that you know forty extremely bulky football players
13:50
are about to all russification? Maybe you don't
13:52
want to be standing next to this door
13:54
hard sell? It's not that Tom but. It
13:57
could be used. At. Any.
14:00
The plan might choose to use
14:02
it's probably not during the game,
14:04
but. You. Know whenever they are going
14:06
to the locker room. I
14:08
target I can't serve as a stupid on his it's to
14:10
be toilets. It is. I
14:16
love when someone starts with this: Is
14:18
it some busy stupid but is it
14:20
a lot? Yes, yes it is. That's
14:22
how the show. Why we liked how
14:24
recently a cubicle has been occupied. It
14:27
is not. A. Ha That
14:29
will be hilarious. That
14:31
would resent ritual temperature of the
14:33
toilet seat. Unfortunately not. I
14:36
would know that as much as what's the
14:39
what's the pressure on the beat it doesn't
14:41
matter of fact that level of toilet roll
14:43
yellow for terms of is not much left.
14:46
With these questions, it's always a bunch
14:48
of inside, and it's is the question
14:50
of what is rather than particularly so.
14:52
It's like the for us it's figuring out
14:55
is is the thing that specific to like
14:57
the plan is to the jackson foods we
14:59
do is to always it like this could
15:01
be a system that you could do that
15:03
any twin and the world. Oh Simon's had
15:06
a realization. Jacksonville charges are in
15:08
Florida. Is
15:10
it to do with allegations?
15:12
Oh. Is it like
15:14
one alligator? Yellow light into time.scope of
15:16
a normal amount of alligator. We can
15:19
deal with our databases. Florida are among
15:21
for the year of high end or
15:23
something out. Yeah. spine the fibers you
15:25
need to go. Why do you put.
15:27
Traffic. Lights icing on the toilet
15:30
cubicles like on the doors. To.
15:32
To whether it's. Occupies
15:34
or it's not in the
15:37
cubicle. In fact, outside on
15:39
a new so not on. A.
15:42
Toilet. Two. Minutes
15:44
Get Roman talks about whether the traffic lights might
15:46
give the players information about whether they. Said
15:48
go see a doctor. Well.
15:51
If the traffic light went red, You.
15:54
Should go see a doctor. says. Of
15:56
testing for something in urine. Yes, it is. Oh
15:59
is it. The drug testing. For.
16:01
Just want to help track or something like that.
16:03
It's just. A visa you
16:06
royals like? it's just testing
16:08
whether you hydration? maybe? That's
16:10
it. Oh my god I
16:13
saw saw this of us.
16:15
And so the senses were installed
16:18
in the bathrooms. your your rival
16:20
urinals. urinal. On. Stuck between
16:22
America and England. A
16:25
good idea to the same here and and
16:27
they would analyze the year and to see
16:30
if the player's worth hydrated. And.
16:32
They're all good. Good. You Green
16:34
Green lights. If you're many little bit
16:36
dehydrated, you should take on some fluids.
16:38
Yellow light. And if you get the
16:40
red lights it's time to go see
16:42
a doctor and and maybe get some
16:44
fluids put in you because you are
16:46
severely dehydrated. I feel like there's a
16:48
better come with charts you can use
16:50
for that. Confusing
16:52
color to choose. Who says the
16:55
iteration shot? If anything, it's perfect.
16:57
I'm more concerned about green and
16:59
red. Button on the
17:01
senses were installed in the bathrooms
17:03
urinals and they would analyze the
17:05
urine and detect how hydrated the
17:08
player's worth and give them the
17:10
information in green for good all
17:12
the way to read the severely
17:14
dehydrated and bad. And
17:17
next person has been sent in by
17:19
David. Terrific! Thank you David! Residents of
17:21
the small Canadian town of over know
17:24
petition for Famous Landmark to be relocated.
17:26
That made the Pan Am games and
17:28
twins fifteenth. The Landmark could have attracted
17:30
business but town after dismantling part of
17:33
it. Out. Of of
17:35
against residents of a small Canadian town
17:37
of over know petitioned for Famous Landmark
17:39
to be relocated that made for the
17:42
Pan Am games and twenty fifteenth from
17:44
unmarked could have attracted business of accounts
17:46
after dismantling part of it. I.
17:49
Don't is I'm allows all system but I just
17:52
wanted the time for Jason on it being dismantled.
17:54
I'm assuming we're talking about the monument and. Not
17:56
the small town, just part of a famous landmark
17:58
would have to be dismantled. Okay
18:01
to the twenty fifteen Pan Am
18:03
games. I'm. Not
18:05
a never heard about before. Planum is an
18:07
airline come out with such a short flight.
18:09
Pan American. So North and South America you
18:11
know, right? Okay, which is also what program
18:13
was short for the. Pan. American.
18:15
Yeah, they still in business. I should
18:18
have absolutely not. I've I've flown in
18:20
a while say they want. They were
18:22
the ones who famously sold tickets to
18:24
the moon. Just. Like a holding
18:26
amount the the pace like it being on
18:29
the waiting list when they inevitably have luna
18:31
flights available in future will the things he
18:33
doesn't have one.as a out of the reasons
18:35
yes. Yes, Would
18:38
they have to remove a part of
18:40
this? Important
18:44
structure that perhaps was not
18:47
canadian enough for them. And.
18:49
They wanted to make it. Only
18:51
a Canadian landmark by removing
18:53
the American part of the
18:55
landmark. This was
18:57
definitely a Canadian landmark. It was already
18:59
that a what you do didn't have
19:01
to modify anything to make it a Canadian
19:04
land on gusto. Now. I'm
19:06
like do I know any Canadian?
19:08
Landmark also.
19:11
The fact the just because a small town
19:13
as petition for something slinky doesn't mean that
19:15
this us be a realistic thing for the
19:17
small town to be able to actually get
19:19
small towns competition for all kinds of weird
19:21
stuff so it's not even like our own.
19:23
What is not is doable and like that
19:25
was the Eiffel Tower. If they wanted to
19:27
they can petition for it. doesn't mean they
19:29
going to get it. Over. Know the
19:31
fact that the cold aura knows. gotta be important though,
19:33
right? my fellow? the name is gonna be. Like.
19:37
What he took less as off at must
19:40
have signed with it spell or and with
19:42
it a big rhinoceros. Oh
19:45
Rhino before Big Oreo.
19:47
I'm like a pen. Can I figure it out? Honestly,
19:50
I think you could. Or.however I
19:53
realize I said that's the open for
19:55
hims you for the pens and paper
19:57
Not just read all the episodes. I
20:00
have it in Los hang on weight so if is
20:02
I who as it's how it. Sounds.
20:04
Like it's oh and oh
20:07
is that right or different
20:09
spelling.is right okay. New
20:11
rule was can be so. I'm
20:14
trying to think of same famous signs. Hollywood
20:17
sign doesn't work. The
20:20
like? Well couldn't to. Kind
20:23
of signs. Or it's
20:25
Canadian of her ice hockey.
20:28
Maple Syrup. Maple. Syrup. Or
20:30
is Canadian Toronto Rowan? You've
20:32
got it. Oh, There.
20:34
Was a giant Instagram who
20:36
fine just saying the word
20:39
toronto. Set. Up in
20:41
Toronto. Or
20:43
it's for the twenty fifteen guys. If you've ever been to
20:45
the central Toronto on like done the tourist trail. It's
20:48
a massive massive. It's like several
20:50
meters high. Each letter. And
20:53
they decided that they were going to keep that
20:55
son will make a permanent both snobby to be
20:57
that. So. Aura know will like. Can.
21:00
We have the old one please. We
21:02
don't need to use. But. Can we have
21:04
the old one? Oh really. I last saw.
21:07
Did I get it? When I say got it I have a good.
21:09
At I did not get it. Oh
21:12
sir, are an eye on the
21:14
Isle of Man Tt get about
21:16
the less they walesa's. Rowan
21:20
over to use the next question. Founded
21:23
in twenty, Sustain One is the aim
21:25
of a group of volunteers called the
21:27
Women in Red. Nice snappy
21:29
one sounded in Twenty sixteen? What is
21:32
the aim? Of a group of volunteers
21:34
called The Women In Red. Is
21:36
anyone else immediate against Christie Berg? The
21:40
luggage even read I know by know it is
21:42
I can't give a lot of my head and
21:44
this is being asked. To. Three
21:46
men have a job. Is
21:50
a handmade tell reference? Who are?
21:52
Is there any other litres stuff
21:54
that we could. Go. With.
21:58
It's. Either that or Taylor Swift reference. It.
22:00
It Literary Road. Know.
22:03
What happened at Twenty fifty? a
22:05
pop in the pot? I'm guessing
22:07
that's very important. Yes, it's yeah.
22:10
If you had to describe this is an. Upbeat
22:13
thing or a. We
22:16
need to make this group of
22:19
volunteers because there a problem. Started
22:21
saying how would you describe it
22:23
like a whoop. This. Is really fun
22:25
or like our our we've got problems to solve. Alex,
22:28
you understand when you know what it is,
22:30
but that isn't really interesting and tricky thing
22:32
to answer and that they. Are holding
22:34
a process that there. Is like
22:37
there is also a sense of excitement
22:39
into a around what they're doing. When that
22:41
during at is it Christie book I'm just a double
22:43
check for. Some reason
22:45
as to whether the problem with Christopher. Nine
22:48
Am a bot. This twenty that seen
22:50
thing is interesting, so the twenty fifteen
22:52
in particular isn't important. But it is
22:55
may be interesting to note that this
22:57
role like this volunteer systems would not
22:59
has been even possible before. Two thousand
23:01
and one. Wikipedia. Was
23:03
founded in two thousand and one. Oh.
23:06
Oh. That from the the
23:08
with cats. Post. All
23:10
that know. that's the solution.
23:13
Deceit. It's all. That.
23:15
Fixing read links on wikipedia.
23:18
Bail. For specifically. Because.
23:21
Wikipedia articles about women. Were
23:23
much more likely to have a red link. Same
23:26
to be. Oscar wasn't crazy. Get to the fixing
23:28
them. Tommy or exactly correct.
23:31
To college bound to give with
23:33
a Cd I am at. yeah
23:35
no I was. I supposed. Facts
23:37
for two thousand and one assist.
23:39
I heard what he calls to
23:42
forecast about random wikipedia articles and
23:44
it was bang on. Buying
23:47
on while. Legos
23:49
yeah know you're exactly why. Is this is
23:51
essentially agree to provide missing biographies of women
23:54
on Wikipedia which is why on a cure
23:56
like is it bad? Is it good? I'm
23:58
like or technically it's not a good thing
24:00
but it is like an exciting something they
24:03
do when they volunteer in a way that
24:05
was a trick you into answer? I am.
24:07
So yeah it's essentially the Women In Read
24:10
or a collection of Wikipedia contributors to have
24:12
this aim. but I work together to improve
24:14
the coverage of women on the site, specifically
24:16
aiming to turn so called red links signifying
24:19
that those like missing articles. oh that's not
24:21
enough information into blue ones which have a
24:23
bunch of information populating it. hence the name
24:25
of the and Interestingly enough to typical yes
24:28
they aren't between twenty and thirty thousand. New
24:30
biographies of women to the site around
24:32
seventy a day. So very prolific.
24:36
Response from a folks come on. using.
24:39
A shops penny hurriedly rights for
24:41
number seven thousand, six hundred Ninety
24:43
two on a piece of plastic
24:45
and never referred to that number
24:47
ever again. What? Sort
24:50
of Europe's using a should be plenty.
24:52
Hardly right. The number seven thousand, six
24:54
hundred ninety two on a piece of
24:56
plastic A never opposed to that number
24:58
ever again. Why? If.
25:00
She's anything like me. She's just got a new
25:02
credit card says written down button system forget it
25:05
and a never use of the card. Sussex.
25:09
Don't. Do that folks with terrible security.
25:11
Don't write down your pin number. You
25:13
know what, Simon How you keep kind
25:15
of blundering very quickly towards the end
25:17
of the questions if is at this
25:19
hour, which ones that are You have
25:22
identified some of the elements of this.
25:24
Know. All of it. I'm not gonna give it to
25:26
you. Oh okay. Thank God You're right. that's a piece
25:28
of plastic. Oh I was going in
25:30
a totally different directions. I thank you Side and
25:33
Sarah cool striking before we even gonna. Swimming
25:36
we got some time round. What was
25:38
that.action? going to be so. I'm seven
25:40
thousand, six hundred, ninety two.
25:43
Is. Feels very like at nine and
25:45
six and seven and two can kind of be
25:48
like reflected in change and like that looks like
25:50
each other and I was wondering if the plastic
25:52
was it like and transparent in some way like
25:54
a boost if who sought kind of thing that
25:56
there was something going on with that but I
25:59
hadn't. as live. That it's not a. Scratch
26:02
that of let's hear the first hint or
26:04
have on my see the paper here is
26:06
there's nothing specific subset of the have the
26:08
six hundred and ninety takes a fights are
26:10
not not as if be cited as seven
26:12
thousand six hundred ninety just speak. It might
26:14
take a little bit longer to get to
26:16
pin number of like well.incitement I think it
26:18
did every single one of us get a
26:20
piece of paper and write down the samba
26:22
and and look as if I think about
26:24
a certain elements yeah I the next hour
26:26
earlier that the piece of plastic was a
26:28
debit or credit card. Just and
26:30
that was the part of of of Simon's
26:33
guess that was correct. They're. Just.
26:35
With see writing the amount of money
26:37
that was in her account on that
26:39
debit card, Simon's closer. Much. Closer
26:41
is this quite a. Is
26:43
is not a good reason for her to be doing
26:46
this because it's a really i feel like it's someone's
26:48
like demanding you're buying pod and telling you to like
26:50
right the pin number down and then she like never
26:52
sees a gang seaside heights of like give it to
26:54
the my son of to. Pay a price. She
26:57
wrote her pin backwards on the had
26:59
debit card and gave it to the
27:02
person that was rubbing her because writing
27:04
the pin backwards would get the cod
27:06
lost inside the machines. I think if
27:09
you write a pin backwards you'd like
27:11
you've got your time. Sanders some is
27:13
just do the stuff. I
27:16
think the backwards printing is no urban
27:18
myth. Sometimes great of your sexual themes
27:20
of have to ask for hims thought
27:22
you were among the right lines that
27:24
it's not horribly written because she's being
27:26
mugged. But. You definitely a
27:28
the right lines. Busy. Giving
27:30
it to someone else though, he said he
27:32
see didn't ever use the nothing, never referred
27:34
to that number again. But. We
27:36
know that it's not the pin to that cod
27:38
that was written on that. It is not
27:41
the pin. That. Do we know if it's
27:43
her cause for the she's the she doing it for someone else.
27:45
Or is it is her card. It's hard
27:47
cause there's not a penny. Penny.
27:50
Is trying to commit. Fraud.
27:54
Looked at somebody else entering that pin
27:56
and wrote it on her cod. And
28:00
then stole that person's card. And
28:02
has twenty minutes to. Go. On a
28:04
spending spree, it's a mister. Be pretty
28:06
fast. put your last two guesses together.
28:08
I like a new basically got it.
28:10
This is about crime. This is about
28:12
safety and security. You basically that it
28:14
is Penny the criminal is Penny A
28:16
We we is the is of we
28:18
establish the pennies. the criminal pennies defending
28:20
against criminals Here this is a debit
28:23
card that she is going to just
28:25
gonna leave in a wallet somewhere somebody
28:27
is going to go and put this
28:29
into and eighty and machine type in
28:31
those numbers and they will now have
28:33
a Cctv. Recording of summary that just stole
28:35
this wallet. And so it's a means
28:37
of like find out if if if the and
28:39
finding the thief or. In. Some way shape
28:41
or form. Nearly. As you said,
28:43
I like that she's written down
28:45
deliberately the wrong pin. Why?
28:50
Would you do that? Why we put the wrong
28:52
pin on your the number.takes it it gets the
28:54
cod locked because they enter the pin in and
28:56
it. It's. Wrong. And so she then
28:58
finds out over this period in time
29:00
my card got locked, that for guess.
29:03
My. Card been taken. Out it's It's
29:05
not a more complex it is to fool
29:07
thieves. If you say that is a card
29:09
gets taken. Have
29:12
been stupid. Don't put the pin number on
29:14
it. so why might you write that down?
29:16
hurriedly? You. Not under any
29:18
pressure here. Why? you scrolling this on the
29:21
back Recall: I guess it makes
29:23
it seem like it's. Not been
29:25
necessary like of focusing still plans
29:27
like. Oh yeah, this is just
29:29
the thing that I put down so that people
29:31
think that is. Like. Just a casual thing
29:33
I've done over the like a plan to. Trap you
29:35
in the moment. Or.
29:39
Actually goes. I wait. hang on. Is
29:43
it so. That it's not necessarily
29:45
entirely clear what the numbers all say that
29:47
people type in a few time to try
29:50
and like, get it said, that it will
29:52
lock you out because it will you go
29:54
through the tries. Yep, it
29:56
take root in Rio attempts. Usually.
29:59
To get a call the locker machine. So
30:01
if you have a scroll number that our
30:03
but maybe that's a one made us a
30:05
sudden made up and nine maybe that's a
30:07
zero then it's someone takes a card. They
30:09
will use the wrong pin number multiple times.
30:12
I. Get sucked into the machine never to be seen
30:14
again. Was. Phenomenal. I
30:16
did this brilliance. Simon
30:20
of these the next question. So
30:22
this question has been sent in
30:24
by Gary Golf In Twenty sixteen,
30:27
the computer system at East Lake
30:29
County Library Florida season was three
30:31
hundred and sixty one books on
30:33
loan to Chuck Finley. Rather than
30:36
putting a burden on municipal resources,
30:38
this ought to a saved money
30:40
for the County. House.
30:44
In Twenty sixteen, the computer system
30:46
East Lake County Library Florida had
30:48
two thousand, three hundred and sixty
30:50
one books online to Chuck Finley.
30:52
Rather than putting a burden on
30:55
municipal resources, this ought to save
30:57
money for the County. How
30:59
we all wrote down to Three
31:01
Six One Or like it's his
31:04
pin number of years and habitat
31:06
to that's Ah, that's. A pin number.
31:09
And that so I know with libraries and
31:11
it's one of those things that I think
31:13
a lot of people think I dunno, just
31:15
the library. They just get money. But the
31:17
amount of books that are loaned out and
31:19
like the circulation of the birds actually does
31:21
make a difference to a lot of libraries.
31:24
Like the amount of budget that they get allocated
31:26
so I don't but they're not wouldn't necessarily be
31:28
about saving money. would have been about like getting
31:31
more income from a county. by being like that
31:33
we the lightens to that thousands. Of books
31:35
are online like but that's not. Saving.
31:38
Money necessarily. If you've
31:40
lost books, And you
31:42
admit that you've lost them, you would
31:44
presumably need to purchase them again. However,
31:47
If you pretend that the books that
31:49
just simply on loan you don't need
31:52
to purchase them again and said Chuck
31:54
Finley is that. Pretend
31:56
book lover. Who. Stops
31:58
people finding out that that books. In fact,
32:00
been. Lost. Just
32:02
racking up with enormous amounts of finds that
32:05
at some point it out some be in
32:07
top form the seem will come collapsing down
32:09
on the library will be in trouble in
32:11
my head. I'm. thinking phone
32:13
books, And that's because I
32:16
remember the library. When. I was
32:18
a kid. Had a copy of
32:20
every single phone book in the
32:22
country. Which. Against dates me in jail
32:24
how old am like the fact of phone books
32:26
were thing then. But but. Every
32:29
town in central like we would have a
32:31
copy of every phone book. Because.
32:33
Someone needs to look up information. Sometimes
32:35
I'm wondering like. A. Slide. We
32:38
had decided to get rid of all that
32:40
phone books to save money on storage or
32:42
something like that. it's Chuck Finley phone in
32:44
secrecy fastest had decided to take them off
32:46
bans. Certainly. Is the
32:49
name is a retired basketball player. a
32:51
real person. And he was.
32:53
It's an alias or or or it was
32:55
in fact Chuck Finley that had these books.
32:58
The books. Nevertheless, The library. Oh, there goes. my
33:00
idea of Chuck Finley been the same as positive
33:02
tests from books. And how seven months. See,
33:05
I got is like you. I did some of
33:07
the. of the savings space like
33:09
storage dining space a story suffered as i didn't
33:11
never left the lie be than the didn't really
33:13
save on on sewage. Feet or the Night Off
33:15
You are on the right lines. That
33:18
this is an assistant related.
33:21
Issue. I wonder. okay so even
33:23
though the is a real sucks and me
33:25
is a real person that i think the
33:28
on it your whole question about whether it's
33:30
an alias others like a code in a
33:32
way to have like insecticides and stuff where
33:34
it's like a at technically a person but
33:36
it's use as a code for something and
33:38
it's kind of interesting cause assuming isn't just
33:40
that this florida love random public library with
33:42
said. That right area for other
33:44
maybe was maybe success. With
33:47
was I guess we'll use my count. The
33:49
old nefarious money saving schemes library.
33:51
I'll I'll do nothing. Okay,
33:53
I'll give you a hint about one. Shot.
33:56
Didn't create this account. The Library
33:58
to Librarians created. The. Cause.
34:01
Chuck Finley named after the Buckeye basketball
34:03
player but he had nothing to do
34:05
the oh okay so why were they
34:08
being used to prop? Not heard it
34:10
somewhere else in the people there might
34:12
be couldn't afford strikes like Mountain to
34:14
both is kind of piled up a
34:16
load of books which in my head
34:18
of are still some books. I don't
34:20
know, I'm obsessed with this but it
34:22
is very tall hoops. If is that
34:24
thousand one hundred and fifty been book's
34:26
idea of the Colossus. Yeah yeah that's
34:28
that. They would not phone books. I'll
34:30
tell you that. Some eggs a
34:32
once they were similar to
34:34
phone books in one regards.
34:37
Which. If I told you would
34:39
give the game bibles encyclopedias nice
34:42
not to do with their size.
34:45
The librarians which trying to prevent the
34:47
loss of these books. why might have
34:49
book be lost like either? So. You another
34:51
thing I know about my be consensus as stop
34:53
is that in Odis foods that sustain the library
34:55
they have to be loaned out in some way
34:58
like that the whole thing is like it's it's
35:00
either that doesn't mean lived in a while that
35:02
they will essentially like compare or cyclists which is
35:04
thought away so we don't have by saving a
35:06
bit of a bit that like out of print
35:08
or some other reason why you'd want to keep
35:11
them around but I haven't technically been loaned out
35:13
so it's like I can begin to say that
35:15
loaned out. By. This like six no
35:17
account so that we can keep them in
35:19
circulation. You. Or almost precisely correct. So
35:21
if a book is in bars
35:24
for a certain amount time, what
35:26
happens to it? But. Given
35:28
up we get sold. Usually like ruled
35:30
put it up my as a cheap
35:32
book sale. outsize. And if no
35:34
one takes it, it'll go in the recycling. right?
35:37
So you lose money on the foot. But then
35:39
what happens if someone wants to learn that book
35:41
in the future? He have to buy again.
35:44
Exactly so it's like a dirty around to be
35:46
like if we keep it in. Storage. We
35:48
don't technically have to destroy them, which
35:50
means it's a once again we don't
35:52
have to like by again. Exactly correct.
35:54
So basically if a book wasn't loan
35:57
for certain period of time they would
35:59
have to. How the Book and then
36:01
buy it again when it became popular
36:03
again at a higher price. So the
36:05
librarians created this account could chuck Finley
36:07
to borrow two thousand, two hundred and
36:09
sixty one books over the course of
36:11
nine months to they didn't have to
36:13
repurchase the De Vinci Code or whatever
36:15
it would be when suddenly everybody wants
36:17
to read it again. The problem with
36:19
that was. State. Funding was
36:21
linked to the number of Butlins. Take announce
36:23
say by adding two thousand, three hundred and
36:26
sixty one book planes, they had a four
36:28
percent boost in that funding which have nothing
36:30
to do with actual demand I'll set of
36:32
my parents were suspended. This is what you
36:34
get for trying to save the books out
36:36
a cliff. Good intentions going on in. The
36:43
last question then at the top the show
36:45
as one that was sent in by David
36:47
like the telly Thank you David! What creative
36:49
people work with both feet and meters. And
36:52
you'll want to take a shot at
36:54
that. Forgive the audience answer. I'm able
36:56
to say myself, i've I got a
36:58
man on person ten meters this very
37:00
day. Oh, deal to working both systems
37:03
for Raw on the current project. I'm
37:05
working on a project that is in
37:07
Imperial with tools that a metric. Oh,
37:09
I'm so sorry to hear that since
37:11
I have types twenty five point Four
37:13
into a calculator at least three hundred
37:15
times this week such as. I
37:19
guess is that there was a moon or Mars mission
37:21
that. Did. This is it's vivid that
37:23
it's not in this case on this
37:26
is more a play on words on
37:28
i accept that they're off of valid
37:30
Also answers in specific things here. I
37:33
was gonna say i don't think it's a
37:35
reference to length. I'm assuming it's to do
37:37
is I'm. Either. See, this is
37:40
the body. Paul Meter is in there
37:42
like music time I'm so I don't
37:44
know whether it would be something to
37:46
do. It's like combining. Those
37:48
elements like a different version of i didn't with
37:50
a seat with an. E. H.
37:54
I don't as any other like. Surgeons.
37:56

37:58

38:04
farm and I'll take that on with
38:06
poets. Rhine. And the Tennessee and. Upon.
38:08
Yep, Yep, so yeah. meters of
38:11
a basic rhythmic structures of a
38:13
poem. Some what I am, but
38:15
pentameter feet out of patterns of
38:17
stress in words. And they'll the
38:19
basic units of meters. So yes
