Good Morning Benders and Non-Benders alike - SKKKKRRRTT! - Hello free non-benders of Republic City. Welcome to The Republic City Dispatch, a revolutionary radio programme covering Nickelodeon’s Legend of Korra series. This week on “The Aftermath,” Too long have the weak willed metal-benders under Chief Beifong held down the bending population. Too long have we falsely placed our hope in The Avatar. We promise you a new world, and Equal world, where even the most vicious benders can be met in combat by our technology. And now, the voices of the revolution, Matt, Da7e and Devindra!

Hosted by Devindra Hardawar of the /Filmcast and Da7e and Matt Patches of Operation Kino.

I loved this drama-heavy episode of Korra. Next podcast ep is up!

This week, we’ll be covering Chapter 4 of Book One: Air “The Voice In The Night,” which aired Saturday April 28th. Is Republic City drawing closer to all out war? Can The Avatar master Airbending in time to unite the city her predecessor created?

Hosted by Devindra Hardawar of the /Filmcast and Da7e and Matt Patches of Operation Kino.

Did you get the idea the Satos are up to no good? (Did you pronoucne Sato correctly? Because we messed it up a few times) Is Patches crazy for doubting the Korra is the The Avatar? FUTURE AANG?

Legend of Korra just keeps getting better and better. This ep finally revealed the villain, and had our first glimpse at Lance Henriksen’s villain sidekick role.

The study found that if HIV-infected heterosexual individuals begin taking antiretroviral medicines when their immune systems are relatively healthy as opposed to delaying therapy until the disease has advanced, they are 96 percent less likely to transmit the virus to their uninfected partners.

I’m a bit shocked that it’s taken us this long to realize early prevention actually helps.

In fact, it is now usually cheaper to just try something than to sit around and try to figure out whether to try something. The product map is now often more complex and more expensive to create than trying to figure it out as you go. The compass has replaced the map, and “rough consensus and running code” has become the fundamental philosophy for the so-called lean start-up movement.
