The Hydraulic Telegraph and Latin Grease: Citation Needed 5×01
We’re back! Good luck to everyone who’s subscribed since the last season, heaven knows what you’ll think of it. This time, we’re talking about ancient technology, Morse code, and taking a brief diversion into Latin!
At the end of last season, we talked about doing a live show, and I’m happy to say that IT’S ON… but almost all the tickets are already gone! There may be occasional returns and newly available tickets here: http://www.techdif.co.uk/live/ — and if not, you can join the wait list for when they become available!

Ego got gelat, ipsi erant 'multiplicari
I would happily watch Gary's documentary on Hydraulic London.
The plugs in the background around 10:53 slightly unsettle me, looking at how they'd perfectly fit the pattern on the wall if they were 2 centimetres lower
well this has been educational

2:27 – Oh my god! The captions are incorrect! Tom said "there are water", but the captions read "there is water"!
Frigidantes habeo. Multiplicant.
Wait so hyperloop is a maglev train inside a vacumm tube? Last I heard it was an air pressure potato cannon.
ego sum gelat. ipsi erant 'multiplicari
I'd have to guess "Habeo gelat; multiplicare sunt."
So I've been subscribed for several months, now, at least, but I only just ran across this series of videos (Thanks YouTube's suggestion matrix). I've been laughing my ass off (as quietly as possible as I'm at work 😀 ) for all five or six videos that I've seen so far. 😀
SO LONDON WAS A STEAMPUNK DREAM WTF
tom: says something to vaguely get the show back on track
Everyone else: NO
See, when Gary Brannan mentioned "That laughing and crying emoji" initially, I thought he meant the standard happy/sad mask motif which there is, it turns out, an emojus for: 🎭.
Habeo frigores, multiplicant?
Habeo frigores, qui multiplicant?
Question how do they refill it?
"His message appears to be wheeee", hahahaha. Lovely.
… after shoes and boxes and houses and doors and orang-utans, all I could think was: Panthers‽
A whole while after watching this, I just realised that Chris has a Marceline mug…

The coach must have been from Yorkshire. It was sending Eeeeeee in Morse 🙂
I was like, 2 years too late for MSN messanger. Not by choice, but more because parrents didnt get a computer. or internet for that matter. for a long time.
Ah, MSN messenger. You know the least well known handy feature about it, especially in an age before emojis? You could make your own emoticons and send them to your mates, as well as just use the microsoft e-ink feature to scribble things. Somewhere I've got screenshots of particularly fertile interchanges with mates back in the noughties (it was the only way to really preserve them, once the news came in that they were retiring the service) that devolved into just sending offensive doodles back and forth. As well as the fairly comprehensive set of DIY icons I'd built up (and you had to be fairly creative, as they were limited to something like 16×16 pixels, and possibly even the windows default colour palette…)
What I'd give for that these days. I can never find the emoji I actually want. Any time you think of a particular thing you might want to send as a pictogram for either speed, compactness/bandwidth saving, or more likely just plain comedy purposes… there's at least a 50% chance that you won't find anything even remotely similar to it, let alone the exact thing. But I could scribble up a good-enough looking facsimile within a 32×32 pixel grid and a 256 colour palette fairly quickly… OK, sure, that 1kb would still be quite a bit bigger than a text message, but it's still a lot smaller than a photo and would definitely fit inside an MMS.
Habeo frigitarias multiplicantes.
