@@johanneswerner1140 No. Those are various types of civet. Though part of the same sub-order as cats, (Feliformia), they aren't in the same family. Cats are part of Felidae, civets (along with genets) are part of Viverridae. Within Viverridae, everything which isn't definitely a genet is considered to be a civet, but there are three different sub families which aren't genets. Being a civet works on a basis of duplication, since they look alike and fill the same role in the same environment .

As someone who's both played in and GMed for TTRPGs for years: I am *very familiar* with that energy. "Oh boy, now *I* get to fuck around and cause problems! Don't mind if I do!"
WTYP runs a tight ship; their areas of responsibility are very clear, but they’re also each able to take on each other’s roles. Any organization should be jealous of such adaptability.
Get back from my job where I make landlords fix their shit, including replace moldy surfaces. "Ah, WTYP has uploaded, that'll be a great way to unwind." November: There's mold in my new apartment. Back into the trenches.
@LifesNeverHumDrum Thanks! I filed a landlord for court yesterday, and am going to do it two more times today. One of those is for the same landlord, and the same issue in a different unit.
@@TheSaberWolfDuchess "Environmental Health Specialist" is what I say when testifying in court. Your local health department probably has a housing department which has people doing what I do, though the program names are probably different. I can make landlords fix most things that are broken, repair damaged surfaces including those damaged by mold, and perform a lot of basic maintenance which can be argued to impact health. I can't make them paint your walls, fix your blinds, or make cabinets match or whatever, and I can't do anything at all with unoccupied housing units, but we have a pretty broad mandate overall.
Hi November! I am also piloted by toxic mould spores. The first month is an adjustment, but soon you'll feel very at home with your new microbial overlords. And the hivemind has biweekly quiz nights! The next one is on Doctor Who.
Same. Idk what it's been I've been in a terrible funk all year, and then we had a major evolution at my plant that really pissed me off (managers mostly) on the day after election day (USA). So I went into a very severe depression for all of the month of November. But I got my sink cleared out by washing dishes and now to do the counter tops. So I got a burst of dopamine from that that I'm riding as a high.
Re the Capitol bathroom thing and adding on to Dev's comment about staffers, I have a friend who visits the Capitol regularly for work (in education not in govt, also a super fun sector to be a trans woman in rn) and she's real fucking nervous about the idea of being forced to use the mens room, and it's like come the fuck on congresswoman, you aren't gonna stand up for her at least? we as trans people have so little left to lose, we might as well fucking stand up for each other when no one else will lmao
I also vote to bring big levers back, physical dials and shift sticks too. Things work better when they are built with humans in mind, not robots. We are tactile creatures, we like big buttons and other things we can touch. If you hire IT people who have only ever worked in IT try to create a POS system without having any hands-on retail experience, they are going to make a garbage program that cause cashiers endless suffering.. one begins to wonder if that was the point [lol when the manager installs the endless suffering button that electroshocks an sales associate randomly]
Fun fact about the serval (the cat that can turn his head all the way around): Wolverine (the Marvel character) used to be called Serval in the french translations of the comic, presumably because "Carcajou" (the french name of the wolverine animal) didn't sound intimidating enough.
Hydrogen peroxide with cold water will help with the blood on the white carpet (source: I help people manage postpartum bleeding and also have my own periods, just don't use hot water or the blood proteins will set), and it may also help with the mould, who knows? The amount of blood I see get everywhere during childbirth vs how clean the white hospital blankets come out after coming back from the cleaners... blood isn't too hard to get out. We try and use disposable pads for most of the blood/amniotic fluid, but blood splatters end up all over the place. Hydrogen peroxide to the rescue in the home setting!
Back in my AF days we made Camelbak Death Mix with Everclear, Orange Juice, Red Bull, and Yellow Gatorade It was surprisingly tolerable! It wasn't GOOD, but we drank it 😅

“Moped curve” sounds like what a small town would call their tight 35 mph road curve around a mountain ridge/hill/valley where a lot of those fatalities would occur. Probably would even have their own local legend from car wreck survivors (often teenage boys) claiming to police they couldn’t slow down on that curve because a ghost moped was closely following them at speed. That same excuse repeated enough (especially in the months following a fatal moped crash) would create such a legend.
Hehehehe When I was in Europe in 1996, it still flushed out of the train and my brother and I noticed this so we went as a team to the bathroom. One of us went to the bathroom and the other one of us watched out of the back of the train and laughed at the contents of the toilet getting flushed out the back.
Can I just say, in that brief cutaway to Rocz's recording screen, that Nova is actually rather beautiful? Haven't seen her actual face since the first WTYP live show when it was on a tiny laptop screen being recorded by a mediocre camera. But seeing it now in high res and a couple years later, I will freely say that if I were to meet her in person I would feel blessed just to shake her hand.
One of the all time best episodes! Thank you Gareth, and thank you for asking Rocz to read out the date every time, you are a comrade. The Safety Third was also one for the ages. What a perfect combo. 11/10.
FYI a wet vac (or dedicated spot cleaner) is really helpful for getting stains out of carpet. Like dissolving a stain is easy enough but then the water evaporates and you have a stain again. Unless you suck it up with a wet vac or spot cleaner or something in which case you no longer have a stain and all is well.

The saddest thing about the Santiago derrailment was that ultimately they blamed everything on the dead conductor. (*not dead, sorry*) *mostly* Everyone else (his bosses, the big fish, the institution, the local government, etc ) got away scott free. It's a pain to live here. Hence the name. Ass Pain. EDIT: Sorry I got confused, The conductor survived (and got sentenced) and 1 direct boss. But the ones that deferred the signalling instalation, or the whole corporate culture? nah. Also 13 years between investigation, covid, and the actual trial.
@@rytedas Oh darn, you are right. Sorry i got it mixed up. A lot of members of the crew died , didn't recall the actual driver survived. It took so long i got it mixed up (10 years from accident to trial, and this year 2024 final sentence) . Sorry , my bad. For context: 2013 (When the santiago accident happened) was weeks (not even a month) before Grand Theft Auto V original release. THE ORIGINAL RELEASE. And this year the sentence. Bad signalling + worse governance = accidents.

To add something about centrifuges, you have to be 18+ to legally operate one in Germany, we had some people in my apprenticeship who barely made the cut when the time came They made us look at photos of centrifuges doing their own thing, you don't have to go ultra to get some really scary results. The big ones we use occasionally have a capacity of about 1-2L in each cup, even at the much lower speeds they operate at having improper balancing or something in the mechanism internally failing will make these washing machine sized things literally walk through concrete walls. Worst case scenario it stops itself by jumping out of the second floor and cuts power by ripping the cord out of the wall on the way down lol
I was singing the major general song at work today and the waitresses where looking at me like I had a second head but I don't care because I have information animal vegetable and mineral ....
As someone who works with similar equipment on a regular basis, seeing the picture of an ultracentrifuge elicited an immediate “oh god no” from me (Also come to St. Louis, have Francis as a guest or something)
Haven’t got to the meat of the episode yet but I very much hope we’re going to get a description of what a Deltic is and why they matter so much to people. IIRC the Morpeth curve was the only place a Deltic was involved in a fatal accident Update: one hour later…YES!!!
Is this the train equivalent of those tunnels too small for semis in the US that are constantly eating trucks when drivers ignore the seven signs showing how low the clearance height is?
1:18:00 “The Canadians did that once.” Sometimes, you just need a locomotive in front of Boucherville City Hall, even if it is 1,000 feet away from the nearest rail line.
fortunately you can no longer drive your car into waverley station, although there is still two ramps with road surfaces dropping from the bridge into the concourse. one of them is used for deliveries to the shops/ambulances when someone decides to throw themselves infront of the 21:45 tweedbank
The point of a Brake van by 1969 was only to apply the handbrake, as well as be a place for the guard to sit, as only a MK1 brake van has a handbrake, the others are fitted with continuous vacuum and later air braking but no handbrake, there's a bit of an issue with MK1s if you don't chock them or couple to a brake van or loco, when sat in a siding for a while they can run away.
really hope the anthem sung at the live show includes the skirl of bagpipes and starts with the words, "O Flower of Scotland, When will we see your like again"
The problem of being a furry is that when Rocz said "cat that turns head all the way around" I knew *exactly* which photograph of a long spotted feline on a staircase doing the "look direct behind self" thing Rocz had seen, but I have no idea what species they are.
In the event that you guy’s actually do host a live show in Duluth, it would be really funny if you were somehow able to do the live show from the deck of the William A. Irvin
Seems par for the course for such a word being lazily/quickly pronounced. Basically a contraction of sorts, sort of like how people pronounce “Worcester” or how “Chestershire” became “Cheshire”.
Thank you Rocz for giving us back SOUTH Berwick, as we know this podcast supersedes English law (if you ever did a Newcastle/Edinburgh/Glasgow gig I'd absolutely fucking go).
The HSE logo i think is meant to be a pair of semi clasped hands with lines outside of them representing shielding from outside effects i.e. keeping it safe. Kinda ironic when they're actually preventing the disclosure of important information. Imagine that unpublished report clasped between the hands lol. Rotate an imaginary HSE report inside your hands.
The benchtop centrifuge is one of those things I never used in college but I use every day in my lab job and also is scary as shit. I don't use an ultra centrifuge but we could do with more people knowing why these are scary. The one I worked with used to sit near a small cabinet of ceramic labware that would shake and sound like it was breaking as it spun up
The bowl of a centrifuge is usually armoured so that a broken rotor should be contained within the box of the machine, however proper ultra centrifuges (with the fixed angle titanium rotors you showed) are as big as a chest freezer and have be known to be thrown through a brick wall by a failed rotor. The very high speed runs are usually safest because they are in the fixed angle rotors which are a single block of titanium with holes drilled into it. I used to use those for large scale DNA preps when you would spin for 90 hours at 200000g. The worrying ones were the slower 30,000 rpm runs with the swing out rotors where the sample is in a titanium tube hooked over a titanium bar in the rotor head and if that joint fails bad things happen.

@@theprojectproject01 Have you seen the photo of Kash Patel with the crossed Manson-eyes?
@warheadsnation No, but I bet it slaps
The Mo'peth Curve we drive around, the mo' problems we see.
Nova, that transition lever gag, omg
GDN: Matt Gaetz looks like an AI tried to render JFK from Clone High but realistically.
EDIT: I would also just love to say that Gareth is _slaying_ the Ted Lasso look.
To add something about centrifuges, you have to be 18+ to legally operate one in Germany, we had some people in my apprenticeship who barely made the cut when the time came
They made us look at photos of centrifuges doing their own thing, you don't have to go ultra to get some really scary results. The big ones we use occasionally have a capacity of about 1-2L in each cup, even at the much lower speeds they operate at having improper balancing or something in the mechanism internally failing will make these washing machine sized things literally walk through concrete walls. Worst case scenario it stops itself by jumping out of the second floor and cuts power by ripping the cord out of the wall on the way down lol

I was singing the major general song at work today and the waitresses where looking at me like I had a second head but I don't care because I have information animal vegetable and mineral ....
I’m coming all the way from South Carolina for the NYC show. Can’t wait.
As someone who works with similar equipment on a regular basis, seeing the picture of an ultracentrifuge elicited an immediate “oh god no” from me
(Also come to St. Louis, have Francis as a guest or something)
A WTYP episode I can immediately enjoy as I work instead of having to wait for the next work week? You spoil me!
Haven’t got to the meat of the episode yet but I very much hope we’re going to get a description of what a Deltic is and why they matter so much to people. IIRC the Morpeth curve was the only place a Deltic was involved in a fatal accident
Update: one hour later…YES!!!
UGH I def needed this. Thanks crew.
Is this the train equivalent of those tunnels too small for semis in the US that are constantly eating trucks when drivers ignore the seven signs showing how low the clearance height is?
That bridge in Durham, NC

Fuck me that got me good
Excellent pod as ever 👏👏👏
fortunately you can no longer drive your car into waverley station, although there is still two ramps with road surfaces dropping from the bridge into the concourse. one of them is used for deliveries to the shops/ambulances when someone decides to throw themselves infront of the 21:45 tweedbank
the other one is just completely closed, but you can walk up the pavement on the side
The point of a Brake van by 1969 was only to apply the handbrake, as well as be a place for the guard to sit, as only a MK1 brake van has a handbrake, the others are fitted with continuous vacuum and later air braking but no handbrake, there's a bit of an issue with MK1s if you don't chock them or couple to a brake van or loco, when sat in a siding for a while they can run away.
really hope the anthem sung at the live show includes the skirl of bagpipes and starts with the words, "O Flower of Scotland, When will we see your like again"
I look forward to the WTYP Midwest Tour visit Council Bluffs, Iowa
WOOOO TRAIN ROLLING CHAMPIONSHIP AT MORPETH
You know it's been a good diversion when it's Liam going "No, No, we're not doing that right now".
"Nothing was learned, decades pass" is surely a sentence that will apply to a lot.
Oh no, a centrifuge!!! Danger, Will Robinson! Danger!
Always balance your centrifuge.
Please keep these train and/or track episodes coming! They're my favorite episodes!
Today is the deadline to go to the library to scan and submit my health insurance documents. But now I have to watch this first.
I regret nothing.
Still doing better than the (former) CEO of United Healthcare..
That picture of Gaetz looks like the Smiler from Transmetropolitan.
oh my god thats what I was thinking of!
As a cleaner, a carpet shampoo machine with 3% hydrogen peroxide does a great job for the particular stains Nova made.

Thank you for blessing us in this wretched time
In the event that you guy’s actually do host a live show in Duluth, it would be really funny if you were somehow able to do the live show from the deck of the William A. Irvin
Blackguard being pronounced "blaggard" will never not be weird to me
Seems par for the course for such a word being lazily/quickly pronounced. Basically a contraction of sorts, sort of like how people pronounce “Worcester” or how “Chestershire” became “Cheshire”.
Local Irish band in Texas called "The Blaggards." They slap.
Thank you Rocz for giving us back SOUTH Berwick, as we know this podcast supersedes English law (if you ever did a Newcastle/Edinburgh/Glasgow gig I'd absolutely fucking go).
'Drivers crash trains, but not under circumstances of their own choosing' is an INCREDIBLE pull.
"That's a Scottish person putting on a Scottish accent, for some reason." lmao
describing Tennants Super as "a beer with purpose" is so fucking accurate it hurts
I'm always surprised "Doncaster" isn't pronounced something stupid like "Doncaster"
I bet by 2050 a lot of people are just going to pronounce it “Donkster”.
For anyone who needs to know...
Ammonia works great on blood stains.
Diluted bleach is great on mold.
Hope that helps.

The HSE logo i think is meant to be a pair of semi clasped hands with lines outside of them representing shielding from outside effects i.e. keeping it safe. Kinda ironic when they're actually preventing the disclosure of important information. Imagine that unpublished report clasped between the hands lol. Rotate an imaginary HSE report inside your hands.
love that you guys are amazed by basic lab equipment lol. but yeah i’m very scared of centrifuges.
The benchtop centrifuge is one of those things I never used in college but I use every day in my lab job and also is scary as shit. I don't use an ultra centrifuge but we could do with more people knowing why these are scary.
The one I worked with used to sit near a small cabinet of ceramic labware that would shake and sound like it was breaking as it spun up
The bowl of a centrifuge is usually armoured so that a broken rotor should be contained within the box of the machine, however proper ultra centrifuges (with the fixed angle titanium rotors you showed) are as big as a chest freezer and have be known to be thrown through a brick wall by a failed rotor.
The very high speed runs are usually safest because they are in the fixed angle rotors which are a single block of titanium with holes drilled into it. I used to use those for large scale DNA preps when you would spin for 90 hours at 200000g. The worrying ones were the slower 30,000 rpm runs with the swing out rotors where the sample is in a titanium tube hooked over a titanium bar in the rotor head and if that joint fails bad things happen.
Decades passed and some things that should not have been forgotten were forgotten...
A century later it took on a new form ..
