Links and Show Notes:

Merlin checks in with John to see if he's started noticing the Millennial Speech Tics. Of course, this leads to a lot of discussion about how people do and don't talk.



In Follow-Up, John shares a French meat word, and then he updates us on his health.



The main topic this week seems like it's going to be about best practices for phone charging. Fortunately for the listener, it broadens into a slightly more interesting exploration of the uneven paces of culture, technology, and personal habits.
