Dear Jes, How does it feel to know that your precious Gators coach Phil Muschamp will be returning to his real home in the SEC (Auburn, war eagle...duh)? Alternatively, hardwoods or carpet? I mean actual flooring this isn't a gross internet question.

would you say perhaps, "accidentally" racist?

I'd love to read the article if you want to share dis linkage

I have mixed feelings about it. I could do a bit but I think your question was earnest so I will try to answer quickly here and save the rest for another time (next hangout? I know you guys want to talk about global food issues!). I work for a public university. Our lab has project connections with UCDavis (one of the public institutions on board for the program) as well as connections to multiple genebanks. However the university I work for has an entire department dedicated to Genome Research and Bioinformatics and it seems unlikely to me that OSU will jump on board until this project has some concrete results for their plan. It seems like a great idea but there is no indication on how implementation would occur. My project is directly related to what DivSeek is doing (which we could talk about forever) since I am going through potato germplasm currently. I think the problem is that even if they were given a ton of money and facilities and researchers, it will be years before they can really put that information to use. Potatoes for example, have very difficult genetics as they are auto-tetraploid (extra gene copies) except for a few varieties that have been helped along by us peoples. So creating a marker set to select for desirable traits using SSR or GBS is difficult because there is twice as much or 4x genetic material to sift through for each genotype. You don't get nice segregating populations when you breed potatoes, if there are 400 seeds in one potato fruit, then you have 400 unique genotypes to dig through to find anything useful to continue breeding with. In addition, it takes about 15 years to develop a marketable, stable, novel variety in an applied breeding program. SO while I love the idea and it is super important research, I think we would be still be 20 years away from the potato that could feed the world and who knows what the hell the world will be like then. OK, I'm sorry guys. I'm happy to discuss this stuff until them yonder cows come home but I don't want to bog down our bit-zone with science and thinky thoughts. BRRII

Does sean daddy got points on the butt end of the episodes he writes? Probz not but I'll buy it anyway cause I don't have cable

"Did you just wink at me?" "I didn't mean to."

I guess I need to buy a sword for the next hang out?

My MVPs for the night were #1 handsome boy and our friend from Machester. Say it with me now, "ski" - "zell" - "oo"

The both sound a little easty (from the east coast) to me. Neither of them have a specific accent like New York or Boston or whatever. That's just me, people hear accents differently. On this same topic, do I sound like I is from the Alabama?

Yes Jake, of course. As long as there will be FF in the future and you are making a living I can be patient.

Anyone have any requests? by requests I mean blues traveler songs. by blues traveler songs I mean run-around.

Veebs wasn't kidding about that hair. I mean, damn. Fly as fuck yall

shoot me an invite

Sorry if I was bad on the hangout. I ran out of material pretty early. ps didnt know andy was gonna go HAM. very, very randy.

little more than two hours away

Right on. Shaft City and the Ballz is awesome, all of this is more my speed. People hear this and think you would like Haim?

Can I listen to your band ranran? EDIT: I like rock music and ladies who play said rock music, I don't think I would describe Haim as rock though.

I'll save my reviews for this evening. I'll only say that one was more palatable than the other but that both felt like physiological tourture. What has my life become

As promised I have listened to the haim album and watched license to drive. Wow.

WHERE IN ALABAMA

Yeah, I don't really know what the deal is with people not commenting, it could just be the holiday season. Even the episodes that have been a little slow were very listenable (to me). It's a weird format and Lauren is trying to do something different. Not every episode will be a home run but no matter what, it's cool that she has a platform to do exactly what she wants and to bring on people we haven't heard of.

how dare you sir

Analog Man mods and updates classic pedals and make a few of their own for people who are into really specific sounds. They are quality products even though they are a bit pricey. I have an orange juicer from them and the compression is soooo tasty. Totes tone boners EDIT: Almost forgot I find Gliese 581d to be of particular interest...

Yeah mine was way off as usual. How do I get into this guy's head greggy? Only you and Garon know the way

Love this episode. CBB all-stars always deliver. PFT and Scott's friendship make me unreasonably happy.
