it's my air conditioner and i'll drink the condensation if i want to

I would've liked to hear the guest speak a bit more in this episode. She has a nice voice and knows quite a lot about scary diseases.

Came back to this one after getting all hyped up by the recent "Bronx Legionnaire's 10th Anniversary Throwback Event" 🦠🦠❤️

Commenting two years later to say that Bungie also did a shirt for the 2010 earthquake in Haiti, it had the city AI from ODST on the front, Virgil, and said "Be a Hero" in the colors of the Haitian flag.

Shout out Lactobacillus! I'm a fermentation nerd

Hinting at an episode on Hydrogen power.

Watching this inspired me to clean my CPAP tubing immediately. Hopefully the new anxiety about bacteria in the machine that forces me to breathe when I'm asleep sticks, and I'll keep up the maintenance that the manufacturer suggests. 🥲

made this title into a sign that hangs over my desk at work

This is the first bonus episode I chose to listen to after paying my podcast dues again, and hearing Liam say “you paid for this, idiot” was quite poignant and topical.

9:40, can we talk about the engineering disaster that is the American economy that also starves its children and allows people like Brett Favre to steal from the programs designed to feed them?

if you're wondering the convention where the person did the comic about how they exposed everyone to covid was the final fantasy xiv fanfest this year LOL

You know how you sometimes hear something, usually a throwaway, and it just...fucking TAKES YOU BACK IN TIME? The furry who infected that convention (iirc) was someone who became notorious and persona non grata within the fandom bc they literally went around twitter posting "*coughs on you*" in reply to anyone talking about COVID. WELL I HAD IRL DRAMA WITH HIM BEFORE THAT and holy fuck it was the most hilariously dumb, sad, pissant shit. This was back in 2014 and I still had Grindr; at the time i worked for a motorsports complex and had selected "jock" as my...category? Whatever, anyway this little shit DM'S ME OUT OF THE BLUE to tell me I "can't" use that category bc I didn't qualify as a jock. Dude tried to bully me on Grindr and well...can't post pics in comments but fuck was his profile hilarious.

Always feels good to see a new episode. Here I am to ask for an ancient Roman disaster, seeing as all men are constantly thinking about them.

Using "Toiletless" the way people used "Maidenless" about a year ago

Oh Alice, Good news pharma had been using AI to develop new drugs

Why is there no new content. I can’t find the Big Bayou Canot episode on Patreon.

I feel like a dingus for asking but I left the discord sever years ago to cut down on my growing discord server counts but I want in again, hat in hand. I can’t find the url tho. Does anyone have it?

Which one of you makes the lolli-pop sound?

I planned water systems for a while. Legionaires probably created over 95% of the engineering norms for residential water systems. Everything else is basicly just a few formulas regarding pressure and flow, a sign that says "don't put poop into drinking water" and a paranoid guy checking every pipe he sees for lead. Legionaires dictates basicly all design choices, ranging from dedicated circulation lines to which faucet you use for appliances, faucets, showers and the like.

I'm from Minnesota and I actually like Amy Klobuchar.

Not sure I have anything to say, really, but I am glad I have access to a toilet at home. https://i.imgur.com/tm6vqkz.png (SFW)

Just saw a video today that has to be the original shake hands with danger. Same music and everything. Looks like a crappy training video haha

relevant? https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/72/wr/mm7237a1.htm

been a patreon for god knows how long and every single time the patreon is plugged im like "wow i wish i could go listen to the bonus episodes" well GUESS who managed to rub her braincells together today!

Rozz: I recognize and appreciate your Q Mariachi band joke. Live long and prosper.

This particular brand of moonshine will fuck you up, but not in the way you expect.

I can't wait to be able to listen to this one on the feed, or audio download 😎

I listened to this then an hour later got on a 9 hour Spanish ferry that had two jacuzzis on it. Will report live as events unfold.

I was just at my local state fair and went by 3 different hot tub vendors who had at least one tub out with water in it. I did smell chlorine so hopefully I won't die of legionella

Episode not on RSS feed

LoL. My brother-in-law got Legionnaires' last year.

My favorite microbe is the paramecium. Mostly because they are called "Pantoffeltierchen" in German which translates to "Slipper animal"

Is a audio version of this coming soon?

Surprise return of the small rodent liquifier/homogenizer from safety third on Costa Concordia

I never thought I could Google "legionnaire's disease home testing kit as fast as I did after listening to this episode.

Heads up before you buy anything, acoustic foam doesn't isolate your room, it's just supposed to tamp down reflections from inside the same room so your recordings don't get all echoy and shitty

Liam was very frisky on this one.

I have to know where Alice heard the phrase "ride the wild paramecium"! I heard that phrase decades ago and wrote it down bc I thought it was hilarious, and I have no idea what the context was. I googled it and could only find an old science blog and nothing else. Did we just watch the same MST3K episode in the late 90s?

thank y'all so much for this disgusting body horror episode, distinct from the horror of being, say crushed by a building, immolated in a tunnel, or extruded through a small opening in a pressure vessel. Love.

I always love how bizarre the patreon episode titles are

where audio

"yeast", just "yeast"; such a poser answer. she couldn't even be bothered to name ONE specific yeast.

Not a shirt, but I made a quick attempt at a patch for the JSF https://www.tumblr.com/erik-murphy1981/726564917259419648/quick-and-unprofessional-attempt-at-a-patch

Médecins Sans Danse

The joy i felt when they mentioned my town's specific disaster state fair and went... eesh.. i had actually gone that year and was dealing with a bout of health anxiety. i definitely thought i was going to die of Hottub Sickness

I am a ‘Hero of the Legion’ of Donkcast fame. Please tell me what charity you’d like me to donate to so you can do an episode (bonus or not) (guest or not) about the Oshkosh Defense mail truck and mail trucks in general and Oshkosh in general. 🙏 I think we could make some things happen

Mass spectrometry (noun) -scientists shining a really big flashlight at something and yelling "WHAT ELEMENTS ARE YOU!?" at it

I think if you distill that filth water it'll actually kill the bacteria. You get sick sure, but it won't be an infection

Hamsters are the vicious ones as far as I've read. Whatever helps you sleep at night I guess /s

my neighbour got legionnaires from compost a few years back and almost died, and ever since then ive worn a mask when working with potting mix or compost in the garden, those lil fuckers cant get me im better than that

Ella ella ella, legionella ella ella

The building facade that kills you instantly.

Love to see the pod doing all the famous case studies from nursing school.

Adding poop yo water on purpose creates the problem of having to treat the sewage water before it can be used for other purposes. As water becomes more precious I wonder if we’ll all start using dry toilets (aka composting toilets)

Listening to this while I read Legionella cultures at work, hell yeah

Sat down in my office this morning looking forward to listening to this episode while I work, then realizing with slowly dawning horror that this cursed ass hotel is viewable from my office window. The view made complete with some netting covering portions of that fancy ass facade. I'll keep y'all posted on if I get crushed by some architecture or catch explode your lungs disease.

P1 visa for Alice to travel to the US and perform as an entertainer. Or travel under the usual ESTA and don't mention you are going to perform if you want to run the risk the TSA won't find out

Me emptying the air conditioner condenser basin located in the sectional unit above my bed.

If Alice is a British citizen, all she would need is an ESTA to get into the US. You pay like $15 and give them your info and usually approve you in like a day

Love the show! Keep up the great work. Kinda annoyed at my brain for waking up at 3am up shouting “ALLEGIANT AIR!” Grrr.

at 44:16 there is a Devon hit marker noise and no note

Singing Amoeba by the Adolescents at the top of my lungs

I suppose all the under-occupied billionaire extra homes aren't getting their water supplies cycled often. All the more reason to seize them and give them to the homeless.

the condensation that kills you instantly

It should be called Dien Bien Flu

Soviet science was incredible... I mean aside from anything Lysenko had his horrible little hands in

Quincy veterans home killed a dozen people and sickened dozens in 2016.

I think it makes sense for Liam to be mixed lower than everyone else because it just suits his vibe to be a guy shouting from across the room

i really need the pirate bonus feed playlist people to step up their game so I don't have to wait until I get home to watch these

Regular people must poop in the Matrix because it's built to be just like the real world, but I don't think the people who have escaped the Matrix poop in the Matrix on the basis that if you poop in the Matrix you poop in real life, and they're all just sitting on massage tables, so...

“Holy Diver” (Killswitch Engage cover) switch ‘ride the tiger’ to ‘ride the perimysium’

Okay, am I the only on who saw Mark Zuckerberg instead of Danny DeVito as the penguin?

If you want to know about an even more infuriating outbreak of Legionnaires, check out the PBS documentary on the one on Flint, Michigan: part of the whole water debacle. It drove me nuts.

This episode brought me lovely memories from the worst year ever: 2019. The husband got a respiratory infection, that turned into bilateral pneumonia (his lungs were even cloudier than the x-ray in the slide), that turned into ARDS, and then got a MRSA infection to get the whole set (he was admitted to the same hospital where he was an ER medic, so he may have had it already dormant). He ended up getting the COVID deluxe treatment 6 months before COVID: 3 weeks on the respirator, 3 rounds of proning that did nothing, 5 days of ECMO (saved his life), tracheotomy, feeding tube, the works. And indeed, the Vancomycin started messing with his kidneys, they put him on permanent dialysis for 8 days and that saved his kidneys (he can never take ibuprofen again, though). And all this for a measly adenovirus. Not fun at all. Now that I know we can get the same from a water fountain or hot tub, I have developed a new phobia! Great episode, guys!

Am I the only one having trouble hearing Liam?

I remember one woman from my town here in Australia walked past a vent attached to a now demolished and replaced 70s era hotel that straight up gave her legionares and I never forgot that. However I was part of a group of goths who used to hang out on the over hang next to a vent for an undercover car park and we turned out great and cool. If anything we were like an essential service - if there are goths near your vent that means its fine and you won't die of an old timey resptoriy disease despite the constant ciggarette smoking we did back in the 00s.

Gotta start adding the guest names and links in the descriptions, man. "Emily" is on X. Should I just search for all Emilies?

Lesson learned: Implement appropriate PPE/CBRN in all situations. That means space suits everywhere except bed and bath.

remember thinkgeek.com? i had a knights who say "ni" hoodie from them. that was my worst shirt.

AI-enabled drug discovery actually does probably work in the near future. AlphaFold is like the steam engine in terms of how much better it is than preexisting alternatives. What AlphaFold won't do is incentivize pharma companies to focus on cures over treatments. That's why there are no more antibiotics.

i stole an enron work shirt from my brother

two words: Bongwater Legionella

Probably the shirt of most questionable taste I have is my "I Survived Hurricane Derecho" charity shirt. Raygun changed them to just "Hurricane Derecho" after a single run because it quickly became apparent that a number of people had not, in fact, survived a category 3 hurricane spontaneously appearing in the middle of Iowa.

i drank the water from my air conditioner and all i got was legionnaires disease and this tshirt

I’ve seen this episode of House before.

Yay. My field for once. Every health inspectors wet dream/nightmare.

Isn't this why they sell life straws?

The forbidden icee

Oh hell yeah. Another Philly disaster I’ve been waiting for.

Can you taste the cold?
