	6:06pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hello, Alan and adversaries!
	6:07pm zachary: Don't forget to call in, Jim.
	6:07pm dale: if you move your new place will just be recently assessed and your taxes will go up.
	6:07pm dale: ↳ Jim the Poet @6:06 ha ha!!
	6:07pm zachary: So many factors to consider. Can you afford both places? Rent it out to family?
	6:08pm dale: ↳ Jim the Poet @6:06 ....you can probably get a federal grant for that.
	6:08pm Jim the Poet: I am off for the krampusnacht holiday so I’m getting ready to put children in a burlap sack
	6:08pm Daybreak!: The caller should try Boonton, NJ
	6:09pm Jim the Poet: I should probably get a grant before the new administration
	6:09pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Jim the Poet @6:08 Remember to stretch!
	6:09pm HyperDose: Affordable in 2024? hah! good luck
	6:10pm dale: expand up.
	6:11pm Sean T-Rex: FYI: They aren't going to let him go into the wetlands. I work for a Town on LI and it's usually a huge deal. Requires twice the amount of permits and construction to make it work.
	6:11pm Jim the Poet: I am thinking of moving to a legion of doom like hq that comes popping out of a wetlands
	6:11pm Sean T-Rex: ↳ Jim the Poet @6:11 Join the Bone Army! Right on!
	6:12pm Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Jim the Poet @6:11 Legion of Poets headquarters.
	6:12pm Greg from ZONE 5: Alan 6!
	6:13pm wenzo: Also an Ap
	6:13pm HyperDose: How much does a flat cost in the Federated States of Micronesia these days?
	6:13pm wenzo: Your rent from the car’s owner. It’s generally cheaper than a traditional rental company depending what kind of car you want.
	6:13pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, Alan and wenzo! I think Ken might have posted that also? Ha! Apps only make things harder for me.
	6:14pm Daybreak!: Unfortunately, I think we are certain what's coming
	6:14pm Handy Haversack: ↳ wenzo @6:13 Ah, interesting. Maybe more pet-friendly?
	6:14pm Jim the Poet: Yeah I think it’s pretty obvious what’s coming
	6:14pm wenzo: Well nobody can ever agree what aps to order… safer to just skip to the entrée
	6:15pm dale: would never rent my car to someone. if it's cracked up your insurance company will tell you to go to hell if it's not a driver on the policy.
	6:15pm wenzo: @handy probably so.. I imagine some of the owners allow pets and some don’t… I can ask my friend…
	6:15pm HyperDose: ↳ Daybreak! @6:14 Christmas is coming! Don't forget to leave out 🥛🍪
	6:16pm Folsom: I turn off the auto shut off on my car, it shuts down too soon, like stopping at a four way stop or taking a right out of a parking lot, needs more of a delay before shutting off.
	6:16pm dale: engine wear usually is from idling. probably go through a starter faster but that's about it.
	6:16pm Sean T-Rex: Personally, I hate that feature too. I have a 2017 manual Subaru
	6:17pm Daybreak!: In my friends Volvo you can go into the settings in the car's menu and shut it off. In reference to the car turning off anytime it stops
	6:17pm Imgur: It’s not damaging to the engine, and those cars/trucks have beefier starter that accounts for the extra wear
	6:17pm Devil Hands: Those starters are designed for that
	6:17pm Jim the Poet: I am still driving an El Camino
	6:18pm Folsom: The auto shut off on my car turns back on when you restart the car, I can get a plugin that sends the "off" command when you start if you turned it off previously.
	6:18pm wenzo: @handy… from their website: “ If you’re traveling with a pet (non-service animal), filter your search to find and book a vehicle labeled “pet friendly.” If you can’t book a “pet friendly” vehicle, use Turo messaging to ask for your host’s written permission to bring a pet. We require that pets be in a crate/carrier while in the vehicle.”
	6:18pm Land Phil: "you do research" 😂
	6:19pm ?: Cars with that typically have an extra smaller battery to run the car when it shuts off leaving full power at main batt to start when you take foot off brake. Starter is also a heavy duty version.
	6:19pm wenzo: I don’t see how they’d know it was in a crate tho.
	6:19pm Devil Hands: They’re very expensive to replace, but are designed for a lot of wear. They also allow for a hell a lot of amperage draw.
	6:19pm Sean T-Rex: lol. PSEG is a powerhouse. Good luck with that one.
	6:19pm dale: get linda baquero on your side.
	6:20pm Jim the Poet: Linda b rules
	6:20pm Daybreak!: JCPL, NJ NATURAL GAS, all installed electric meters as well.
	6:20pm Handy Haversack: ↳ wenzo @6:18 Oh, well, that makes it impossible. Can't crate the dog in the car. Would never work.
	6:20pm ?: My 2014 so so malibu has it. Works fine.
	6:21pm wenzo: @Handy I feel like most of the owners who list their cars as pet friendly wouldn’t actually care tho. I don’t see how turo would verify whether the dog is crated or not. I’m gonna ask my friend. He rents cars on there.
	6:22pm wenzo: (Rents out cars he owns)
	6:22pm Handy Haversack: ↳ wenzo @6:21 Thanks, wenzo!
	6:22pm Folsom: The auto start on my car is pretty rough, I've rented cars where the auto start is a lot smoother, the dealer said the next year starter would be beefier to allow a smoother start.
	6:22pm HyperDose: keep them around as long as you can. that loss is a pain that never subsides
	6:22pm Jim the Poet: I do want to be put down
	6:23pm Handy Haversack: Our eighteen-year-old cat now exclusively pees in front of K8's closet. We have put down pads and are just letting him have this. He's put in his time.
	6:23pm zachary: Trust, but verify those lawyers.
	6:24pm dale: other guy sounded like he should be in a vaudville team called piss & moan.
	6:24pm wenzo: @handy in fact I know my dog has been in a Turo car… don’t think it was a problem… what they don’t know won’t hurt em’
	6:24pm Sean T-Rex: Alan, I don't think that guy has a case. The new meters are only spying on how much electric/gas you use.
	6:25pm Handy Haversack: ↳ wenzo @6:24 Ahhhhh, gotcha.
	6:25pm zachary: Not the exact one I was looking for, but Smart Meters do talk a lot over the radio to each other. hackaday.com...
	6:25pm Sean T-Rex: ↳ zachary @6:23 Stop, never trust those lawyers. Only Bucci
	6:26pm zachary: ↳ Sean T-Rex @6:25 Yes. Trust, but verify Bucci, too. He once had aspirations of becoming a lawyer.
	6:26pm zachary: WFMU is part of the media.
	6:27pm zachary: We have officially reached Talk Radio.
	6:27pm Sean T-Rex: HAHAHA. Didn't realize meters are a hot topic
	6:27pm Handy Haversack: ↳ zachary @6:26 I ... guess? Ken got a highway pass during lockdown!
	6:28pm zachary: ↳ Handy Haversack @6:27 See. See. Everyone falls. Even Ken.
	6:28pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Sean T-Rex @6:27 Alan was very patient, I thought. He tried to let that caller make the connection he seemed to need.
	6:28pm Folsom: ↳ zachary @6:25 Our power service allows us to download the kWh hourly from the website, don't need to read the meter directly.
	6:28pm zachary: ↳ Sean T-Rex @6:27 It's the OG of IoT.
	6:28pm wenzo: It’s chat radio
	6:29pm wenzo: Shmooze radio
	6:29pm zachary: ↳ Folsom @6:28 Agreed. I would also argue you should have access to all of the data it produces. The data of value.
	6:29pm Sean T-Rex: ↳ Handy Haversack @6:28 lol, He was. You are also being nice with this comment too. lol
	6:29pm Ken From Hyde Park: Will there be an Alan/Jim show around New Years? Ring in the New Year with a lovely game of radio scrabble!
	6:30pm wenzo: Play bananagrams… free form scrabble for dummies.
	6:30pm Wilson in SO: You're not being helpful here. He needs to memorize the two and three letter words.
	6:30pm zachary: Yes. It's called the Scrabble dictionary.
	6:30pm wenzo: Qi is a word
	6:30pm zachary: Our family plays word games with a random book off the shelf. Instant themes.
	6:31pm Wilson in SO: There are no secret books. The manual tells you all of the two, three, and four letter acceptable words. You can also easily find it online. Commit them to memory and you will be formidable. Also don't ever allow another player access to high scoring tiles if you can help it.
	6:31pm Handy Haversack: Don't do Wordle! All of that user data goes directly to your electric meter!
	6:31pm Sean T-Rex: lol, "ASS" haha
	6:31pm zachary: ↳ Handy Haversack @6:31 And the water company.
	6:31pm Jim the Poet: I don’t think I have an electric meter
	6:32pm Handy Haversack: ↳ zachary @6:31 Don't EVEN get me started!
	6:32pm zachary: Here's a nice open source project that helps decode certain meters. github.com...
	6:32pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Jim the Poet @6:31 It's like a trochee that knows someone.
	6:32pm zachary: ↳ Handy Haversack @6:32 Too late. The valve is already open. GO!
	6:33pm Jim the Poet: We have asked about nye fill ins
	6:33pm zachary: ↳ Jim the Poet @6:33 Yes. I love holiday shows with you and Alan, Jim.
	6:33pm dale: print shops don't pay much. typesetting - THAT'S the future!
	6:33pm zachary: Who's this comic author?
	6:34pm Deano de los Muertos: when does Ken give the guy without email a show?
	6:35pm dale: this dude should send something in to the LCD thing.
	6:35pm zachary: ↳ Deano de los Muertos @6:34 Once a year. On one of the nicest weeks of the year, there are walk-in applications.
	6:35pm Sean T-Rex: ↳ Deano de los Muertos @6:34 He should only be a guest host.
	6:35pm zachary: ↳ dale @6:35 YES! What are you sending in, Dale?
	6:36pm Ken From Hyde Park: Alan & Jim > Deadpool & Wolverine
	6:37pm michelle: Make animated shirts for wfmu
	6:37pm zachary: 📢 📢📢 Submissions for upcoming LCD: wfmu.org... 🗃️🗃️🗃️ Archives of LCD: wfmu.org...
	6:37pm Handy Haversack: The comics artists show in NYC is amazing: I so encourage everyone to go and bring some cash. It's fantastic.
	6:38pm dale: ↳ zachary @6:35 my resume - it's a joke...
	6:39pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Handy Haversack @6:37 www.moccafest.org Same place as Record Fair this year!
	6:42pm DjLorraine: Does she dust and vacuum? She could come down here.
	6:43pm wenzo: @Handy ok sorry to keep harping on about this but this is what my friend who rents out multiple cars through Turo says: “But yeah, I feel like as long as they don’t see the pet he will be fine… And of course it doesn’t shed all over, shit or otherwise make the car smell/dirty” I would say select a pet friendly vehicle, don’t bring the dog when you pick it up, put down some blankets & go to one of those self serve car vacuum places before you bring the cqr back if necessary.
	6:44pm wenzo: Maybe spray some air freshener
	6:44pm Sean T-Rex: I feel like that's the tri-state. Don't know too many not like that.
	6:44pm dale: just say 'mom - what if we're having intercourse on the kitchen table?'
	6:44pm Handy Haversack: ↳ wenzo @6:43 Gotcha, wenzo. It's good to know. I will look into it more -- I really do appreciate the info.
	6:45pm Deano de los Muertos: How’s the deck issues, Zachary?
	6:45pm DjLorraine: Alan is a holiday plus!
	6:49pm dale: alan is in the media - he's part of the conspiracy!
	6:50pm Pete in Minneapolis: Comics guy here! Link to some work on my instagram https://www.instagram.com/the_stink_hole/?locale=es_US&hl=en
	6:50pm Saltonstall: Folks in Chicago used to place heavy duty magnet on meters which would slow the needle down significantly
	6:50pm Sean T-Rex: The new meters are meant to be more accurate. At least what I read, but now that guy is also making me question a lot more now as well.
	6:51pm wenzo: Almost Every wedding I’ve been to had an online registry, never really been to one with the ole’ envelopes full of cash system.
	6:51pm Pete in Minneapolis: The funny animals at the top were faster than 20 hours lol ☠
	6:52pm Sean T-Rex: ↳ Pete in Minneapolis @6:50 These are cool! Make any shirts with these characters?
	6:53pm wenzo: My pet question would be what Alan thinks of the ethics of buying fancy pedigree dogs when there are tons of pitts & mutts in shelters about to be put down…
	6:53pm zachary: ↳ dale @6:38 Let's do it. I enjoy dry satire. Remind me to tell you the story of the gallery walk ordinance.
	6:53pm Sean T-Rex: Alan its a conspiracy!!! The FMU meters are listening.
	6:54pm Pete in Minneapolis: ↳ Sean T-Rex @6:52 Not currently, I've done a few shirts in the past but nothing in stock.
	6:54pm dale: ↳ zachary @6:53 gallery walk ordinance? do tell.
	6:55pm Sam the farmer: Can you play a song by Haiora?
	6:56pm Sean T-Rex: Great segue to Micah. The Orangeman Cult!
	6:57pm zachary: ↳ dale @6:54 Dale, my friend, I am afraid it will need to be another time.
	6:57pm dale: dictatorial sh*t show about to happen in washington.
	6:57pm HyperDose: everything is going to be okay <3
	6:57pm zachary: The darkness that is to come is here.
	6:57pm Sean T-Rex: Thanks Alan! I always love your fill in!
	6:57pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, Alan! You're really good at this -- I think because you're just really good. Always a treat.
	6:58pm zachary: Thank you, Alan, Handy, Sean, HyperDose, dale, Sam, and everyone else above the scroll.
	6:58pm mndave: Man, I have to call about my dog not getting alone with cats next time! Spent the covid lockdown with friends who have a cat that hates everyone but its owner and boy did that sour her
	6:58pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Pete in Minneapolis @6:54 Pete, you know about like Redbubble and similar places? Upload your art, make an account, and people can order your stuff on various things like shirts and pillows and whatnot.
	6:58pm DjLorraine: Veggies for the win!
	6:59pm Sean T-Rex: HAHAHA, what a deep questions with 2 minutes left.
	6:59pm zachary: ↳ Sean T-Rex @6:59 That's the way Alan rolls.
	6:59pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks for dispensing advice, Alan!
	7:00pm wenzo: Thanks Alan!
	7:00pm zachary: Thanks, Jim the Poet for asking Alan to fill in.
	7:38am zachary: ↳ Pete in Minneapolis @6:50 Thanks again, Pete. Is there anyway to get a hold of you outside of Instagram. I don't have an account because of Mark Hurst. ;-)
	7:44am zachary: ↳ zachary @7:38 Long shot, Pete, but I sent my contact details to the Autoptic Festival people.
