Good morning, everybody, and happy National Coffee Day.
00:00:10.200
And amazingly, nearly 600 Coffee with Scott Adams mugs have already been pre-ordered.
00:00:18.280
See my Twitter feed at the top if you'd like yours.
00:00:22.260
But if you'd like to make do with whatever kind of empty vessel you have
00:00:26.900
for the highlight of civilization, the simultaneous sip,
00:00:32.960
and all you need is a cup or a mug or a glass or a tank or a chalice or a stein,
00:00:35.940
a canteen jug or a flask, a vessel of any kind.
00:00:44.980
And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine hit of the day,
00:00:48.680
the thing that makes everything better except Russian pipelines.
00:00:56.900
How do you order the mug without being on Twitter?
00:01:05.140
You don't need to be on Twitter to see my Twitter feed.
00:01:08.800
So just go to Twitter and look for at Scott Adams says,
00:01:14.780
Or maybe Erica will print the link here on Locals.
00:01:29.360
Do you know there's no news that's less interesting
00:01:37.220
Because hurricane news all sounds the same, doesn't it?
00:01:55.320
And I think to myself, well, I shouldn't be bored.
00:02:00.100
But it does look like Florida avoided the worst of it.
00:02:05.800
Now, can we conclude that this hurricane was caused by climate change?
00:02:19.140
The Washington Post, let's see how they handled it.
00:02:37.280
rapid intensification, which scientists say is occurring
00:02:45.960
Let me, like, be really careful about that sentence.
00:02:50.480
Ian was the largest storm to undergo rapid intensification.
00:02:54.240
So they're saying that this storm did undergo rapid intensification.
00:03:01.460
And scientists say that rapid intensification is occurring
00:03:10.240
But does it mean that this particular storm rapidly intensified
00:03:18.180
Do you see the high degree of weasel science that went into the sentence?
00:03:25.740
They've somehow taken the fact that there's no evidence
00:03:48.640
but we'll leave out the not necessarily this one part
00:03:56.720
and blames climate change for this storm as well.
00:04:04.760
if things are getting worse, it's because of climate change.
00:04:10.420
it's because of, it's not because of climate change,
00:04:19.440
And then it's just not a naturally occurring thing.
00:04:36.360
So apparently there's some kind of hoax about me online.
00:04:57.200
the best way for me to kill Dilbert in the comic strip.
00:05:03.700
but I love to wake up and see people trying to win a prize.
00:05:09.020
So a number of people think it's true they're trying to win a prize.
00:05:46.620
Somebody's going to be really mad that I stole their idea,
00:06:13.400
that will prevent him from making movies in the future.
00:06:25.260
And he's kind of the perfect one for this, isn't he?
