Not So Stablecoins - DTNS 4278 Extended (Patreon)

MIT researchers develop a way to desalinate seawater into potable water without expensive pumps or filtration systems. We take a look at Acer’s latest OLED offerings. And we explain the stable crash coin and the impact it has on other cryptocurrencies.

No One Touch Me, I Have The Vapors - GDI 4278 starts at 31:33

Tom gives an extended explanation of the crypto discussion. Can we finally get a graphics card for retail anytime soon? Roger is the problem with rental cars. Is it tailgating or tailing? Scott has unthawed a turkey, have you? The English language is strange. What are you curing in your food? How does pellet beef sound to you? So much food talk. How much food did your company supply for you, in the before fore times? Is the burrito the perfect food? Move aside banana. Have you tasted Mac and cheese ice cream?

Starring Tom Merritt, Sarah Lane, Scott Johnson, Roger Chang, Joe
