Zak and Liz talk about E15 gasoline; it’s like E10 gasoline, but 5 more.

Zak tells us what he has found out about the Home Front Energy Independence Act. There is a billion dollars on the line to accomplish 4 things (and the 4th thing is “Other”).

Zak and Liz talk about what Liz’s vision of a better Internet looks like. She’s got some radical ideas like “don’t make your website worse for the sake of profit”, “wow, online advertising is pretty intrusive these days”, and “putting existing infrastructure on a blockchain is strictly worse.”

Zak and Liz talk about their Lists™.

Zak puts his body on the line to see if the vegan mac and cheese can pass as a comfort food.

Liz finds a suspicious infographic, so some research and incredulous journalism is done.

Liz shares her thoughts about the NFT video essay that Zak assigned as homework. They’re pretty sure that they’re not shouting at clouds, but time will tell.

Zak used Shortcuts automation to mimic focus modes on his Apple Watch. Liz suggests that a gayer time of day should have a gayer watch face.

Zak reviews the Tofutti Better Than Sour Cream and the Jenny’s Tofu Soy Milk. He also tells us about the Sprout Task Force, which Jenny’s Tofu is a part of.

Lastly, Zak fell into a rabbit hole about food certifications including kosher and vegan.
