Legal Tip: Always Incriminate Yourself by Email feat. Gareth Dennis

Space data centers is such a stupid fucking idea. SPACE ISN'T COLD, PRACTICALLY SPEAKING. Like yeah, things will radiate energy and cool down, but the primary forms of cooling we use in FUCKING EVERYTHING are convection, conduction, and latent heat. You CAN'T DO ANY OF THOSE IN SPACE BECAUSE IT'S A NEAR-VACUUM

Me: “surely, Euston couldn’t be that poorly designed” November: *describes exactly how departing NJT trains work at New York Penn* Me: “oh”

"I'm Virgil Texas!"

"They can't take your land, but they can compulsorily purchase it at a fair market value." Oh, well I guess it's a good thing these guys don't the think that the value of a thing is determined by what those with money and power are willing to pay for it... Wait ...

I think you got a plop of AI disinfo regarding Citadel moving back to Chicago; first of all, good riddance, second, he's building a 54 story cock sculpture building in Miami for their headquarters. Hed never come back as the Republicans in this state are mainly non fascist centrists adapted to IL specifically & do not fit in with the rest of the current Republican deep dive into civil war promotion, of which Kkken Griffin wants to shoot the first bullet for & then hide behind his billions & giant cock sculpture that will soon be a floating lighthouse in the middle of the sea....

The biggest problem I can see with lumen orbit is how do they intend to radiate a datacenter amount of heat into space ? Some braingenius didn't check why space is so cold

Lumen Orbit sounds like the setup for NGE or something. "Yea we're gonna build a technological god in orbit :3" like can we please also develop the evas then? at least they're cool.

Put the data centers on the moon using prison labor and you've got yourself The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress

You guys just said "Bitcoin Jehovah's Witness" and no one added "Jehovah's Bitness?"

I see a Gareth and I pog, unless it’s when I’m Baron Peter Hendy.

Free Gareth

it's so incredibly reassuring and gratifying to hear a high profile and well respected professional engineer take the code of ethics seriously. I'm relatively early in my career and god damn is there a lot of pressure from employers and non-engineering coworkers to ignore the ethics and just look at the bottom line. I feel like an idiot sometimes making problems at work because something isn't as good as it should be or has the potential to be dangerous and it makes me feel so much better to know it's not just me.

Since I started working in London 2 years ago and commuting to Euston every day I've been saying that I'm certain the way I am going to die is in a crush at that station so this episode is definitely for me.

You know you're missing out on a trick by not keeping Gareth anonymous while instead communicating his points through melodramatic riddles like "Q" in qanon but for British trains. I dunno, maybe something like - "THINK. Don't let them MANIPULATE you. Houston hides the answers. How many people is TOO many people? In a TRAIN?? Throw off your chains. A tower sinks in flames. Health and safety shunned making way for sick quarterly gains. Loyalty cards from Wikipedia. Nothing to see here. Sleep."

It is , I, Luís Alemania, bedmaking enthusiast and Prospero literature professor.

November stole my dumbass "Woke lord with pronouns" tweet I have peaked

With the lumen orbit thing, you guys missed SHODAN and Philip K. Dick

Sending my custom PC into orbit only to realize that my RGB fans won't work

I’m Jamessa Boggingsmash but my posho pals call me dog name (Miffy)

Is it just me or has Riley gotten funnier in recent episodes? Like, I'm laughing out loud to some of his bits at least more than in older episodes.

Where's the link to the old Prospera episodes? Depending on how it's pronounced either Cecil(long e) Peniston(short e) or Cecil(short e) Peniston(long e).

America has Joe The Plumber. Canada has Bernard The Roughneck. The UK has Dennis The Railway Engineer.

I was once dumped in a Leon. The wrap was definitely worse than the break up.

i've been waiting at the letterbox for this episode since i saw gareth talking about it on novara yes yes then back to waiting for the WTYP

I'm imagining the dream utopia of living in a Britain where things are even slightly nicer than they need to be.

Who is single event upset I’ve never heard of her

Ah yes, ignoring the perspectives of engineers on safety and higher ups firing them for speaking out always ends well. *eyeballs Challenger, Therac 25, OceanGate et al*

Ultimate Keith moment https://www.theguardian.com/politics/article/2024/sep/07/starmer-compromise-new-family-pet-siberian-kitten-dog-like-cat

No "rods from god " bit?

"god burning up in reentry" is a hell of a prompt for some microfiction

Allergen safety in the food and beverage industry is another area where there is no culture of safety and a fixation on minimum standards, until somebody dies, and then standards are raised ever so slightly, people tick their boxes and then we wait until the next death

I hate Euston with every fiber of my being, I shall enjoy this episode

oh this is going to be one of the episodes ever, i can feel it

Gonna be wild hearing WTYP: The Great Euston Crushing Incident of 2025.

Hey guys, Kenneth Discount here, long time fan.
