 cherry and kale and like all sorts of other stuff they put zucchini in it which is like I hate zucchini but when it's in a smoothie it's delicious it reduces it reduces the cognitive load because you very quickly get like take a cup pour and blender press blender pour back in cup add almond milk add coconut water whatever add your liquid right of course so and they're really healthy and they're super low calorie and they feel good and they taste delicious don't you want the calories though not not to say like you because you need that you need the calories to burn yeah it's like yeah I mean the liquid is usually what gives it the calories so like I usually use for almond milk but like those peanut butter ones there's like these like cheat they have these Sundays so you can actually have like a Sunday smoothie isn't that just an ice cream it's basically just like a runny ice cream because I just okay what I'm doing though isn't much more cognitive load than what you're doing except I can have a different smoothie every day right you get a variety and you get you probably get better taste overall because I'm scooping out homemade muesli so I make the muesli myself that's a higher cognitive load but it's once every couple months and I can vary the ingredients at that point but then what I do is I mean I scoop out a little muesli I pour some kefir on it bummed on yeah if you like they feel I used to make the same yogurt dish every day and I just got sick of it so wait all you do for breakfast is smoothies that's right it's like because what I do is I do three different things it's either toast with scrambled eggs that I nuke in a glass cup because I'm really bad about cooking in the pan wash dishes or I do yogurt and I throw cereal on it sure but not but not healthy cereal I take like fruit like fruit loops and stuff I leave this granola and then or I do the shake thing with the kale the strawberries cherry juice in the water yeah oh and then maybe a quesadilla where I just take a tortilla nuke see that's where you get yourself in trouble right there why how do I get myself in trouble because now you've just loaded in all the fat but I need it freeze how do we say that you say that how do I give you some examples of some of the smoothies that I have my all right you got one minute I have my day-to-day I have one minute okay so like this week one's loading the internet's being slow I had acai and cherry I had apple and greens and cacao and avocado this is actually what's coming next week this is coming tomorrow carrot and coconut soup same theory I just eat it in the microwave soup for lunch and then I have a coffee in the yeah and then I have a coffee crunch sundae that's like a dessert yeah so they're not even all smoothies they're not smoothies they do overnight oats they do soups they do Sundays and what's a cold brew and almond one it's like you soak it overnight so you put the all the things in the cup you fill it with water we'll talk food again in a half hour okay shall we begin the tech news let's here we go daily tech news show is powered by you we cannot thank you enough if you want to know more head to daily tech news show comm slash support this is the daily tech news for Monday September 25th 2017 I'm Tom Merritt and she is Veronica Belmont hi Veronica happy Monday happy Monday says our producer Roger Chang is also here hello it is at Monday isn't it I feel warm so maybe I'm pleasant it's a pleasant Monday it's a warm pleasant Monday that's gonna let us start with a few tech things you should know Instagram announced it now has 800 million monthly active users up 100 million since April it also has reached 500 million daily active users and time spent video is up 80% year over year I just wish Instagram would take Bitmoji away from Snapchat and then it would be the perfect app all I need is watching by watching by Snapchat the Fitbit Ionic smartwatch will go on sale October 1st for $299.95 along with the Fitbit flyer headphones for $129.95 the Fitbit Ionic was announced in August and runs the Pebble like Fitbit OS yep this is what Pebble fans are getting in place of Pebble they were kind of waiting for now that Fitbit owns Pebble here's some more top stories at Microsoft Ignite Microsoft did not set anything on fire I was very disappointed as I am every year Microsoft announced its Slack competitor teams will start getting a bunch of calling features support for calls to and from phone numbers support for voicemail call holding transfers if you're like hey isn't that what Skype for Business is for well they're gonna phase out Skype for Business not Skype regular Skype stays Skype for Business is just gonna be rolled into teams although just to keep it confusing Skype for Business server which kind of a PBX replacement will launch a new version in 2018 so that's not going away yet Microsoft also added new plans to its Microsoft 365 service that's the one that's more than just Office so they had business they have enterprise now they have education as well as F1 for formula drivers no no it's for first line first line workers LinkedIn will start integrating with Office 365 as you can keep your contacts through LinkedIn synced up with Office and SQL Server 2017 is gonna run on Linux big vote of confidence in Microsoft teams that's for sure I mean it made sense the products were a little bit too similar so rolling it all together is absolutely I think the right thing to do yeah I agree like this all makes much more sense to me on the Skype for Business side to say like hey teams is your organizational chat area communication area why not have it work with phones that sounds pretty amazing on the other hand that whiplash I just got of wait it was I can't remember what it used to be called before it was Skype for Business but it was the old product before the Skype no not Yammer no it was the voice product anyway it's blind blanket on it right now but it was something they owned before they bought Skype then they bought Skype and they're like well this will just be Skype for Business and now they're like well you know what we're just getting ready link thank you Captain Jack link LYNC yeah so this is kind of a I think the writing was on the wall for link from the moment they bought Skype but teams kind of came in and made them change course instead of I think they were going to move Skype for Business to be one Skype and instead they've been like wait a minute I've got a better idea we'll shove it all into teams so I don't know what that means for the rest of us who use Skype yeah I don't know what the future of Skype looks like I mean it's yeah we'll see Microsoft also announced a quantum programming language integrated into Visual Studio to make it easier for developers to code for quantum computers it can run in a quantum computer simulator either locally if the system has 32 gigabytes of RAM or in the cloud on Azure a preview of the language and simulator will be released by the end of the year now this is super early days for this kind of thing but it is I think a good idea for Microsoft to get the jump on this and say we're just now getting a few quantum computers non D wave D wave kind of does it differently where you will need to know an entirely different way of programming and that's going to be hard for you as a developer to adjust to so let's make a programming language that works the way you're used to that will help you take advantage of that and they're doing it early enough that they will be one of the options that has been around for a while and maybe got the kinks worked out by the time this might become more commonplace did they say with the name of it is no not yet a quantum programming language they haven't named it okay do you have an idea what they should name it no I don't I'm not quick on my feet enough today I think it would be great as Microsoft visual quantum programming language oh that's good that's good that's a keeper that's what I think Intel announced new eighth generation coffee like chips these are the ones for desktops we already got the laptops ones these will arrive October 5th to core i5 and core i7 chips now have six cores you have to use that to pay a pretty penny for the six cores now you can get them right there in coffee lake and the core i3 chips now all have four cores chips are more affordable than the previous six core chips in those ENX series high-end lines but coffee lake is more expensive than the equivalent seventh generation Kaby Lake parts so for example the i7 8700 K which has six cores will cost you $359 whereas the i7 7700 K at the top of the line of Kaby Lake cost you $305 so talking $3050 depending on the part of a price increase which doesn't always happen when they go from generation to generation Intel claims coffee lake offers up to 25% more frames for second in games and 45% more performance during what they call mega-tasking that's more than just multitasking all parts featured integrated GPUs and Intel also decided to throw down against AMD with the core i9 7960 X is one of those high-end processors has 16 cores 32 threads also arriving October 5th it cost $1,700 but it's meant to take on AMD's thread ripper 1950 X I will at least say that I really like the name coffee lake I don't know what it means I would like to be in a coffee lake I still know what Kaby Lake means but I like the name very much thread ripper they name these after actual places is our coffee lake I'd like to go to there yeah I mean I imagine it somewhere in the Pacific Northwest that's usually where these are so potentially yeah apples hi Sierra Mac OS arrives Monday for free it includes the new Apple file system for faster and more secure performance on solid state drives it also supports high efficiency video coding for better playback the photos app got a makeover Siri will supposedly be improved and Safari got new ad tracking mitigation and automatic pausing of our play video there's also support for VR headsets like the Vive and external GPUs also the electric light company noted Sunday that high Sierra seems to check your firmware and notify you if it detects a change users can ignore the noticed or have it sent to Apple though it's unclear what really happens at that point yeah so some people thought oh it's a way to sniff out hackintosh users but if you're using a hackintosh you just say no don't tell anybody I know the firmware don't match so it doesn't seem to be for that it does seem to be to track down malware but it's unclear how that happens or what happens if it finds it yeah yeah otherwise Mac OS high Sierra seems fine I had no problems with my install it went fairly quickly as these things go it took about 40 minutes and and rebooted everything worked fine I didn't have any programming mismatches which they didn't change a lot forward facing you're not going to see a lot of differences like like you say series voice will be a little nicer now and stuff like that but they changed the Apple file system and I've got I've got the solid state drive so I definitely got the new Apple file system which I was a little nervous about like that's the kind of thing that can cause havoc exactly yeah and it didn't yet so yeah are you going to make the leap it's free yeah absolutely I just haven't got I mean my computer though is so old at this point I'm just well that's what I'm wondering yeah yeah cuz this machine I'm streaming on I have not put Sierra on because I don't want to mess with it let me know how it works out so I can tell figure out it's gonna break anything on my laptop yeah yeah I want me to be the tester here all right yeah I'm running a I've got a late 2013 MacBook Pro so it's almost four years old at this point like for a Mac that's getting up there in age you guys yeah it is I'd be curious how that works and I have this old Mac mini that's not if anything it might be around the same age if not if not just like six months newer so I don't know it went so well on the solid state drive but this is a hybrid drive so your mileage may vary with different parts but so far it does seem like high Sierra is getting very good reviews generally speaking as being a maybe not splashy as far as you know user interface things or new features but but solid and kind of laying the groundwork for future updates I'm actually impressed my laptop is made it this far it's it's holding up very well and say overall knock on wood finally two years after its first announcement project jacquard it was named after a loom if you're wondering why it's called jacquard the Levi's denim jacket with a touch sensitive sleeve from Google is going on sale it starts in boutique stores on September 27th and then it'll be available from Levi's comm in October for 350 bucks so more expensive than you'd pay for your general off the rack denim jacket but less than you're like really high end boutique jacket I am told the jacket has capacitive threads woven into the material to connect to a Bluetooth dongle in the left cuff that allows you to control an Android or IS phone by touching the sleeve so you can swipe right or left like skip your music you can double tap play and pause and it can control other things as well there's even sort of a long touch where you just hold your hand on the sleeve and it just stops your phone from doing anything what happened if you start like itching furiously scratching furiously what does that do they recommend itching under the sleeve separate no I don't know I did I just made that up yeah I would niche I would niche on that side or you'll be shuffling through your entire music catalog and sending text messages to your mother do you want this I mean first of all look at look at the picture and tell me if you think it's a $350 fashion item and then tell me if you want this for when you're riding your bike or you're driving around on your motorcycle which I know you have those things I know I don't I don't want it I don't need it it just seems like I don't know it's either bone makes it look good but it's cute it's fine it's nice it's it's it's a cool use of a proof of concept of this technology working in the real world but does it make anything that much easier for me to do no not really I have to say if I rode around on a motorcycle or a bicycle a lot I might want this like it looks nice it is a little expensive that's the big negative but I definitely when I have ridden my bicycle I don't have a motorcycle but when I've ridden my bicycle with the phone on it is a pain even if I have AirPods in or something to like take your hand off having it be in front of you or you can just like quickly skip or something like that seems really really handy I just I want it to cost like $20 or $20 extra over what I would normally pay for a jacket yeah like if you could get it as an add-on to a jacket you already wanted that'd be pretty cool which I know you can't because it's woven in right has to be part of the jacket what if it was like one of those old iron-on patches yeah that's what I was thinking I used to used to have a lot of those yeah that'll be the project jack word patch that will come out in like two years well you could put it on you're like your professor's blazer by the arm elbows and then anytime he's touching his elbows you know he's just messing with his phone does not sound practical Roger well neither if you want to get all the tech headlines each date about five minutes subscribe to daily tech headlines.com you can get it as a podcast and get it on the anchor app download the anchor app and get it there and it is broken on Amazon Echo and Amazon won't talk to us so hopefully we'll figure it out soon and get it back on the Amazon Echo. That is a little top stories me too. Apple has switched from Bing back to Google as the search engine that powers Siri so when Siri doesn't know what you're asking about and does a web search which is 90% of the time when I talk to her it'll show Google results now instead of Bing results searches inside iOS when that shows possible relevant websites will now be powered by Google not Bing and spotlight on macOS is switching from Bing to Google video searches will now come from YouTube the only thing staying on Bing and there is one thing staying on big is image search because image search on Bing is really good and in a statement Apple said switching to Google as the web search provider for Siri search within iOS and spotlight on Mac will allow these services to have a consistent web search experience with the default in Safari so they're saying when you're in Safari and you're searching on something you're getting a set of Google results now when you search anywhere else in the iOS or macOS ecosystem you'll get those same results except if you're searching for images so apparently consistency doesn't matter if you're searching for images all the results are from the API so you're not going to get ads there is you know the chance that if you you click out that you'll get ads but but in the interface you won't get any ads and you won't get tracked either Microsoft for its part pointed out that Bing powers more than a third of search volume on the PC in the United States that it's growing worldwide it still has its partnerships with Yahoo AOL and Amazon it provides the multilingual abilities of Twitter and this is I think the telling part it's really banking on AI for Bing in the future because Microsoft is investing a lot of research into AI yeah I mean to me this when I when I saw this posting I was like okay this makes sense from a user perspective I've always been rather confused as to why my search results were coming back from Bing mostly because Google is my the preferred one I would like to use and also because that experience feels inconsistent from the rest of the the Mac platforms I'm still a little bit confused is Bing's image search really that much better I guess I don't know enough about it to really to make that case but I guess if they must have done extensive like you know Q&A on this and figured that people really just want to have the Google experience on on their device or you know maybe the rest of their stuff is tied into it too and it just feels right my guess is the consistency does play a part in it that some people were were confused that I hey wait I did a search over here and I got this but then when I asked Siri I get that why is that Siri is Siri being dumb so that that makes sense image search would be less obvious for that sort of thing I think and and less frequent people do image searches less frequently let people decide what service they want to use yes exactly because that that's what bothers me about this is even though it was a little weird to see Bing searches on Siri it kind of comforted me to say oh well at least one company isn't dominating everything right this is it this is where I'm getting another perspective and I like that that's good now it feels like oh we're going back to a mono culture we're going back to Google dominating everything which is getting a huge struggle in Europe and I really really would like to be able to choose for myself I mean if we all choose Google which maybe we will that's fine but you're not letting me choose and right a hundred percent agree with you I want to be able to duck duck go in there if I want yeah yeah it's it's kind of baffling to me why they don't just let you do that though there must be something having to do with the way that series programmed that requires some kind of consistent results I don't really know but I also find the interesting that we're seeing again this the schism between you know the Apple Google and the Amazon Microsoft it's almost like location now too it's like the Northwest versus Silicon Valley and you know Microsoft and Amazon are partnering on a lot of things and you know Google and Apple had kind of been staying out of that partnership and now it seems like the Apple Google partnership is tightening in some ways you know I'm sure you could pull examples from any number of places to prove me wrong but that just feels like the this weird going trend I wonder if there isn't some very distant background influence that way where Apple and Google people just mingle more in person because they're in the same place you know it's and it's not like Microsoft doesn't have a Silicon Valley presence and Google and yeah and Apple certainly have Pacific Northwest presences but the majority I wonder if that does have some I would imagine it's a small influence not the determinative influence but it might kind of push people that way at the same time is there anything for searching other than Google now like if granted Bing still has a large percentage they say they have a third of the PC search market PC search market is of course declining everybody's doing their search on mobile I mean I so usually when this happens that's either two things either you get a bloated and innovation resistant monopoly like you did with cable TV or a new version of this comes up where you're like we're not gonna do a search engine we're gonna do this which is better and the and the edifice starts to crumble away so and that's like Hulu and Netflix to cable TV right yeah it is is there anything where people are saying you know what I do all my searching on Amazon anyway because when I search for shopping I don't go to Google I do I do all my searching in Facebook I don't go to Google is that is that a possibility is that where we go next yeah it's I don't know I mean maybe it is more it's about who maybe has the best voice solution who has the best interactions you know if we're if search is moving to voice if search is moving for devices in the home the way you know with with Google home and the Amazon Alexa sorry and the echo cancel all these other devices I mean whoever makes the best use of their technology could be the winner in that category and just because Google has overwhelmingly been successful on the web doesn't necessarily mean it's going to win the the the in-home device category potentially so but at the same time on the web I mean they just have 20 years worth of data to work across that and their search results just keep getting better and better so it's hard to make a case that something to come to the web and really beat them out unless it was something that we haven't even thought of yet or it's something that is more AI related but even in that case Google would still have the upper hand I think in many regards because of that data set voice I think I think voice assistants are the most likely mantle holder for search where people say oh I don't use a search engine anymore I just ask yeah and and Microsoft definitely has a really solid entry in Cortana it just doesn't have the platform tie-in right so you're you talk about you talk about Amazon you talk about it because it's on the echo when you talk about Google you talk about it because it's built into Android when you talk about Siri it's built into iOS and again no choice you don't get to say you know what I'd like to use Google on my iOS device or I'd like to use Cortana well yes actually actually with the Amazon Microsoft partnership that is something that will happen soon on just related to Amazon Cortana side so we get a little bit of version of that there's a little bit of that so I'm wondering like what is this gonna look like well do we see a world where Siri could live on Google home maybe gosh yeah I mean stranger things have happened right Microsoft office came to Mac so there you go hey thanks to all those who participate in our subreddit submit stories and vote on them it really helps us out and you can go do it too at dailytechnewshow.reddit.com I was messing around with the essential phones 360 camera today if you'd like to see a 360 degree view of the studio you could check that and a couple other photos out at facebook.com slash groups slash dailytechnewshow our thing of the day comes from a very excited new laptop owner Mike in ridiculously hot muscat said I've been so unbelievably happy with my computer I wanted to write in to recommend it as the pick of the day my new hotness is the HP Specter X2 I was a dedicated surface user and was one of the folks chomping at the bit for a surface for replacement not only was I underwhelmed by the latest version I was downright offended by the price my X2 is running an i7 has 512 gigs on board of storage 8 gigs RAM micro SD expansion to USB-C ports and comes with the keyboard and stylus it's insanely light and feels roughly the same weight as a 12-inch iPad Pro I mostly use it for note taking in Arabic so a responsive accurate stylus is key for me a similarly spec surface would have set me back at least a thousand dollars more after I bought the keyboard cover and stylus I'm surprised there aren't more surface-like PCs out there undercutting Microsoft and out designing the math gray tablet been using my X2 for about a month now so I've lived and traveled with it enough to confidently say it is a more than adequate surface replacement and would easily recommend it over the current surface model regardless of the price difference thanks for always having a great show and with the addition of Sarah I'm planning on upping my patreon contribution as soon as my raise comes through so there you go one man's opinion on the Specter X2 send your picks to us folks feedback at DailyTechNewShow.com you can find more picks at DailyTechNewShow.com slash pics James in unseasonably warm Wisconsin wrote in and was listening to episode 3122 on my way to the office this morning and something came to mind during your discussion of Walmart's delivery concept first I had the same initial reaction as all of you mostly unease distrust and an overwhelming sense of why would I want this this is regarding Walmart using to live to deliver groceries from Walmart into your house when you're not home partnering with the August lock so you can give a one-time access you hit on a few things that I think could combine to make a service I and I suspect many others would pay for us as James so I want to see what you think of this Veronica tangentially I think the comfort level of wealthy individuals letting people in their home might be related to how little impact that anything untoward happening would have on their overall wealth versus someone of moderate income who had to skimp a bit to get that new Apple TV the delivery guy just pocketed not to mention the outsize impact it would have on a daily routine in the cost of time and resolving the issue that said if you alluded to a certain section of the population that has some disposable income and a higher desire for convenience being very interested in this and as with many other things if a service that previously seemed only attainable by those with substantial income becomes attainable for those with moderate income there is a certain appeal so you mentioned housekeeping and even gardening and for a long time I've wondered why these services have not been adapted to the gig economy first off I think they could and we are likely on the cusp of seeing that happen but as much as it would be weird for a stranger to stock my fridge I would be all for an easily accessible on demand or even easily modifiable subscription to a house cleaning service but think if that was already a trusted service entering my home on a regular basis why couldn't they also stock the fridge and a fresh roll of toilet paper seems to me this could work out very well for Walmart or even Amazon where dash just took on a whole new meaning for me so he's saying if people are put off by the idea of strangers coming into their house even with just a one-time code what if it was a regular person that you got to know like a house cleaning service was combined with the grocery delivery yeah that's there is by the way a subscription cleaning service called handy so so you don't know who you're gonna get they just always send someone yeah I don't really know I haven't used it I've heard it's actually notoriously difficult to cancel so I never that's good just keep showing up at your house apparently yeah you know I don't feel super comfortable I mean we we have an August lock we have a couple of people have access to that one is our once a month cleaning person sure we have had the same person for six years so we definitely know her and two is the dog walker who we have a couple times a month and so those two people have their own code that we can revoke at any time and we know when they entered leave the house so you revoked my code then you still have a code I guess you count as people Tom has a code I just want to come home and see Tom like sitting in my living room but yeah I think the key really is I think for most people I would imagine would be getting to know the person I don't know if it has to do with income lines I most of the people who wrote in saying they didn't like this it was because they're like yeah sure house cleaning I know the house cleaner I get to know them I get to vet them I don't know who's coming from to live I don't know that and that like I don't know what their vetting process is I don't know how long that person has worked there so there's a lot of there's a lot of points of failure in that scenario and I'd rather at least all the fault beyond me if something went wrong rather than you know signing up for something willy-nilly and not really knowing what I was going to get and finally Phil wrote in and just real quick he has a great email about this that that we'll have in the show notes but there's an article at London reconnections.com about the entire London taxi Uber conflict that is fantastic thank you Phil for sending this it goes through the fact that Uber actually has an operation in Netherlands that licenses an operation in London to operate as an official registered taxi company so the problem isn't actually with Uber it's with Uber subsidiary which does make a difference when you're talking about the registration with TFL transport for London it also talks about the fact that TFL is not on the side of the cabs ask any black cab driver in London if they think TFL is on their side and they'll laugh at you apparently according to this article but it goes in through all the intricacies and what really has been happening and what the real issues are and of course Sadiq Khan the mayor of London today said that he is happy that the CEO of Uber has apologized and he has instructed transport for London to make themselves available to meet with them so it sounds like they might actually be able to work something out where Uber doesn't stop operating in London but if you're interested in what's really happening in that conflict go check it out London reconnections.com will have the direct link in the show notes thank you Veronica Belmont for joining us where else can people find your wonderful work online you can check out IRL podcast.org that is the letter I the letter R the letter L podcast.org we have seven full episodes of the first season of IRL and more coming very soon

Sarah Lane will be joining the show starting next Monday a week from today right here with myself and Veronica and that's because of you we have more milestones that we're moving towards and in fact one of our distant milestones is to take the show on the road more but that doesn't mean we're going to wait to ever take it on the road I'm coming to London Monday October 9th for a meetup and live recording of the show you can get all the details and sign up to attend at bit.ly slash D T N S London our email address is feedback at daily tech news show.com we're live Monday through Friday 4 30

get more at frogpants.com hope you have enjoyed this program well done good show cover titles we have Microsoft did not set anything on fire Microsoft is a team Tom thinks he's people Microsoft Ignite this is out cute top things these people Apple Google's for a better search engine Veronica's better taste overall Tom Yammer's on about Microsoft shove it shove it into teams yeah it tells double shot of Coffee Lake MS quantum programming now with AI where is coffee like probably at a Dunkin Donuts Intel serves coffee like no sugars Levi's Bluetooth jeans Jack on that Island would be in coffee. Lev oh wait it says moved whatever alright Levi has Levi has an Android up smart sleeve scratchy patch Siri breaks up with Bing Tom thinks he's people is they might just be coming up with names in the it's to play the play just scratch leave high tech jacket said Levi's is the leave high Levi leave anything tickle your funny bone or fancy swipe your coffee hmm Microsoft is a team's player it's kind of funny it's good I like that that one too how many quarters do you want in your coffee Apple Google's a better search engine than I bet I want Apple for your donut now Apple bings back to Google they don't use the big and decide oh Microsoft takes that quantum leap oh that's good that's good okay that's hopefully the next leap will be the leap back to profitability oh you're profitable yeah they are profitable you're just I mean yeah so your joke is not relevant either your puns but you keep using them puns are maybe bad but always relevant make that a bumper sticker my puns may be bad but they're least irrelevant I don't think you know Microsoft well enough to insult them that way you guys are need to you know get to know each other a little more I'll take it on advisement so what was the food thing we're oh I was about to tell you about my tovala meals because you told me about all your smoothies so this week you can get miso glazed salmon with edamame brown rice charred citrus broccoli and pickled ginger baked butternut squash pasta with pickled butternut squash indonesian baked salmon with rice noodles shiitake's bok choy and carrots sesame crusted tofu with sesame ginger brown rice and roasted green beans lemon garlic roasted chicken with woody herb braised white beans and ropa vieja beef stew with black bean and brown rice pilaf these are all the uh convenient meals from tovala the ones where you just buy them and then you scan the qr code and bake them and then oh and you're fancy in your easy bake that smart oven you have my easy bake easy bake oven pretty much is like the moderate equivalent of a of an easy bake oven is it a is it a is it a gas oven or is it electric it is electric but it is also a broiler and a steamer so it does toast broil and steam wonder what the power usage on that is compared to try to do a typical toaster oven yeah but compared to like a gas oven oh it's much less than a gas oven because it's only it's not on for as long it doesn't need to be preheated or anything so it has the advantages of a toaster oven in that respect it's like a toaster oven on steroids that does qr codes but they're meals i thought the meals i'm like the meals are probably going to be crap but i just want to try it out when i bought it meals are really good and healthy are they filling it's awesome yes they're filling too because they'll have like they always have a grain a healthy grain usually and they always have a protein and vegetables they're pretty well balanced this is the cow this is the cow or this is the grass the cow is eating for your vegetables they don't do that yeah it just tastes good and it's nutritionally balanced i don't know so i'm not going to make fun of your smoothies because i order these crazy things i didn't make fun of her smoothies i just found it very interesting that that was a business i was not accusing you of anything when i said that don't accuse me of anything i was accusing anyone of anything why am i why am i suddenly in trouble what did i say i didn't do anything i didn't do it i just need to cook stuff that makes a lot of food that i can eat as leftovers for the next two nights yeah that's not this well okay the one thing that i do use the tovala for i will buy fish now more often and just put some olive oil pepper and salt on it maybe some other spices depending on how i feel and then you just put it in and it's got a pre-made salmon recipe that works for most similar fish like i'd use it for tuna and everything too and you just like pop it in pop it out boom i cooked salmon at last night put the salmon in the freezer microwaved it today that was my lunch you microwaved fish it's like the cardinal no no i'm not in a shared office also salmon salmon's not that bad salmon doesn't get as fishy smelling as other stuff not always captain did the taboo against microwaving fish in an office setting is bad for our health it's reducing our omega threes can we just get those in pill form somebody needs to come up with a microwave fish smell sucker yeah maybe what they need to do is create a convection oven that's just as fast as it can be in this microwave oven yeah it still smells though it's the smell the same because when you're using a microwave you're boiling the inside in inside out that's true activated carbon in your in your microwave to index against uh it's not a vent so better make it worse event sends the smell out it's gotta suck it up somewhere what if you had like a solar oven though it's ready to go so as soon as you stuck anything in it would just cook it 400 degrees i don't know it sounds hard i just want to replicate it has to be out and like in star trek where i can tell that like oh i want a bowl of cheerios i was just watching an episode of voyager last night though and the replicator screwed up and made the coffee first and then the cup and it just splashed coffee everywhere so they're not immune to miss malfunction look they don't order coffee that's what i say that is heresy where i come from you know what just give me a bowl of cheerios and pour in the chocolate milk and i'm set god i'm hungry you talk about needing to eat healthy i need i talk about needing to eat might be couch couch in the context of health foods yeah the orville replicator made hash brownies that's true do you like that show i watch like i can't decide i can't decide if i like it or not so far it's just a bunch of like jokes that you would throw in if something happened yeah the jokes are it's not orville's not that funny to me but it's also really like a really good nostalgia vehicle because it really feels like a 90s era trek but like is that i just heard it's terrible yeah i don't think it's terrible i think part of it is if you're if you're like a super star trek nerd you can kind of see all the gags yeah there's some funny gags fine thanks you can go back to your delicious shakes smoothies i'll talk to you later all right bye the jokes are bad no for the most part jokes are what's giving it the bad reputation i think um they're intended to be bad yeah i didn't realize but he was uh uh seph seph mcfarlane was in the it was an extra and start uh enterprise not enterprise was he an enterprise he was one of the star treks it's been awesome he was i remember seeing it was like only that is that seph mcfarlane let's look that up on imdb boldly roast where no man has roasted coffee before i just hear you breathing now i'm sorry i'm filling in the thing for tomorrow i lost my place because you
