the audio is pretty quiet, but the transcript looks decent from a few quick spot checks. i mostly read these anyway, so at least it's good enough for my purposes.

oh there it is

i don't see that on his cvillepedia page

@rorystolzenberg.bsky.social and i maintain the meeting transcripts site, mostly for personal interest. i'll add an about page, and feel free to send me any bug reports or feature requests.

bike fact: a bike without fenders also doubles as a bidet when it rains
