I suspect both Steinberg and the Randallbot are avid do-it-yourselfers.I found that having my girlfriend stroke my penis repeatedly will effectively and significantly enlarge it with no adverse side effects.

This entire post by JRM is amusing, but the best part is where he writes, presumably with a straight face, that “work” seems to have become a four-letter word.
Gene must have had a good chuckle when he read that.
any thoughts on the slowdown of beg mails?
He's probably landed a big score through scamming a new sucker or winning at the casino. Spending money is the only thing that can distract him enough to stop begging. Won't last though, no matter how much money he got he will burn through it fast and then it will be everyone else's "duty" to bail him out.
winning at the casino.
hahahahhahahahahahhaahThe Paracast is getting spammed!
The Paracrud is complete garbage hosted by two entitled losers, both of whom are textbook examples of the Dunning Kruger effect and the ability of the human ego to engage in grandiose self inflation and delusion.
At least one of them is a sociopathic scammer who preys on other people's kindness.
To make things worse the actual show has so many ad related interruptions that even if there were a decent discussion to be had (despite the interjections of the two morons at the helm) it would still be utterly derailed by being constantly interrupted.
You can pay money to get the ads removed but it does nothing for the interruptions. Indeed all it does is make it clear what a piece of excrement you are listening to.
Further the paid "extra" of the Paracast plus is even worse than the main show as it is merely an exercise for the two muppets at the helm to push their own pet theories and personal ego masturbation even further.
Combine the above with the fact that there are also lots of free shows available that have hosts that people enjoy listening to, speaking about interesting topics with interesting guests and you would have to be absolutely insane to subscribe to the Paracast Plus.
Even if you don't mind losing the money you will be helping a known scammer to keep his grift going - all of which makes this attempt at getting more subscriptions both ridiculous and hilarious:

Gene is right about never knowing what is going to happen on ATP, because he never has a plan for how it’s going to unfold. The same is true of the main show. The last few times I was on as a host, it was painfully clear to me that Gene had completely checked out. Listen to the episode with Scott Kolbaba to see that in the starkest relief. He hadn’t read the guy’s book, had no interest in the subject, and left it to me to carry the conversation.
I swore to myself that I would never do another episode after that, and I didn’t, although Gene kept asking for several months, often with just a couple hours notice.
And then there’s the sound quality of the show. Gene makes a big deal, and does JRM, of how hard Gene works to turn out a quality show. But the audio is terrible. He does nothing to “clean it up” (as he puts it) - he clearly confines his post audio work to making sure each episode times out accurately. That’s it.

As you say, many of us tried to get it through his thick head how those idiotic ads were doing far more harm than any theoretical good they might bring. Turns out he gets nothing from them but the imaginary prestige of being "on the radio". Several years ago he made a big deal about the new awesome sound quality. It still sounded like a truck driver on the highway calling C2C on a cell phone in '97. It was worth putting up with when the guests were interesting and able to get a sentence completed before Gene interrupted.I remember I and many others tried to explain to him how the constant interruptions from the breaks ruined the show (and was probably hindering its profitability) but like most things he arrogantly suggest that he knew best and it was the usual feeling of banging your head against a brick wall. The guy cannot and will not be helped in any way other than sending him cold hard cash. His ego and entitlement won't allow it.
Just out of curiousity, did Gene ever ask you for money ? ( outside the mass e-beg )
The tech owl fourms has no post in 48 days. The store is dead. Let's look at the pattern For months Gene promises a new store. A store of the best goods.
He names the guy to run it. Anders.
Anders is not paid. The promised store appeared I think only after Gene paid a minimum. This is borne out by the fact Gene had only one item. Payment was due the store vanished. Gene paid for a full trail. the store returned..Anders secure in thinking Gene was going to pay came here. Gene promised more if Anders did more work. Gene's FB and Twitter were scrubbed. Anders did other work for Gene. I think the site upgrade was being worked on. Gene never paid for any of it. Anders seeing the Tech owl dead and no money rightfully bailed.
so it goes. ..
Anders screwed just like all the rest.
From the latest Paracast newsletter. It’s almost as if Gene is trolling his critics, who often complain about his superhero pop culture references.
A renewed request!
Hello,
The search for an affordable apartment continues. Most of the better units aren’t available for a few weeks or longer; some have long waiting lists.
I’m being careful about applying. Application fees are usually $50 per person, and it’s not refundable. Applying for more than a few places can get expensive.
In the meantime, motel rates will go down in April, after “snow birds” and baseball spring training fans leave. But it’s still expensive even for the cheap places, and I also have to save enough for that move-in to a new apartment.
And there are those lingering bills.
Can you help me today get from here to there?
