Ask A Genius 930: Supplements, Heartburn, Twitter

[Recording Start] 

Scott Douglas Jacobsen: What about these randomized supplements?

Rick Rosner: I take a bunch of vitamins. I’ve put them in various places to remind me that I need to re-order them, or that’s where they end up, and I don’t clean them out: Heartburn pills.

Jacobsen: Do you get heartburn? 

Rosner: Every once in a while, I’ve got a nervous stomach. It is slightly like IBS, which kicked in when Trump got elected. If I eat too many carbs at once, I get bloated and burly. I’ve got my Rogaine Minoxidil to keep my hair, Floss, eye drops, and Kleenexes to wipe my mouth. 

Jacobsen: Oral-B toothbrush.

Rosner: I will sit here and brush my teeth while I cruise Twitter. 

Jacobsen: Do you generate any income on Twitter?

Rosner: No, I don’t. There is a way to monetize Twitter. But since Elon Musk bought Twitter about two years ago if you get a lot of traffic, you can get paid for your traffic, adding ads, or whatever. Musk has made it a playground for conservatives and right-wing assholes. So, the people who are making all the money with a lot of traffic are right-wingers. They have chased a lot of left-wingers away. Since he bought Twitter, my traffic has dropped by 90%. Even if I tried monetizing, I am unsure if my traffic is high enough. It would not be worth it. You have to subscribe to Twitter. You have to pay Twitter, not much. Still, I will not pay Elon Musk for what he did to Twitter. He wrecked it. He fucked it up pretty badly. On April 20th, there were so many hideous assholes wishing Hitler happy birthday and saying he was right before he owned Twitter. People owning anti-Semitism and saying that we should gas the Jews now. Those people were kicked off for promoting hate. It is much harder to get people kicked off for promoting hate.

So, I have bendy wood. It is fake wood made out of silicon plastic, which stains like wood. Instead of making actual wood bendy, which is a pain, you have to soak it. It still doesn’t get very bendy. This stuff has a radius of curvature of down to an inch, even more, if you put a bunch of nails in it to put it in place. It’s much easier to work with; what happens is that I showed you the busted micromosaic. Micromosaics self-destruct because pieces of glass are held in with this dough, this adhesive, flour, olive oil, and probably some other stuff.
