Title: It’s not for that, but that's what its used for.
Description
This is a long one, and good one. Carl goes on a long tirade about accuracy and precision,
and then launches into what the metric system is good for.
The show goes serious and mournful a bit when the discussion moves to job hunting and kids back in school.
Jason believes all Walther's issues would be solved if he fished more, but Carl not so sold on the idea.
There is more pedagogy talk on how the open day of school will look like in Sunnyside and what Asynchronous Learning looks like.
There is discussion of the old video games at the end and bring on a guest to nerd out about Zelda.
