watched filmed however you want to look at that big brother ish you know versus maybe other parts of the world that is banned and you can't do that you can't have public facing you know cameras or whatever on street corners either way this is really just sort of looking at both sides of it and just sort of saying look there's pros and cons but there's definitely some there's definitely some cons to both sides of this that we have to think about so what i did for this one is i

I decided to go with the longer version of this.

Now, I don't typically do that, but I decided to kick off 2026.

Feel free to click around or whatever.

I think next week and, you know, future, future Saturdays, I'll probably go back to that 12 to 15 minute range.

which are great.

They're kind of quick hits, easy Saturday reads.

But since I took a two-week break, I thought I'd come back with a longer episode.

We'll see how it goes.

If you think it's too long, certainly let me know in the comments, wherever you happen to be listening to this.

I'm always willing to take the feedback.

I do this because I find it to be really fun, but I want to do what you guys think is super fun too.

Okay, that's my big intro.

So if this is the first time again, you've ever heard one of our conundrum episodes, here's the basic process, although it is evolving.

I come up with ideas.

Sometimes I don't have any ideas.

Sometimes I just use, you know, Gemini, Chachapati, something to kind of get some ideas going.

Sometimes it comes out of the news of the last week, whatever the reason is, to come up with these ideas for these conundrums that just spark my curiosity.
