We're back this week after Ash's near-death cold. We banter for a while, discussing our various addictions, Dutch midrise elevators for-rent, and the weather (we're so sorry).

We wrap up some talk on gender issues and GamerGate, whether or not an objective reality exists, time travel, the Standard Markdown kerfuffle, the Apple Watch, and negativity in the community.
