Production

The title track 'Not For Want Of Trying' samples Howard Beale's 'mad as hell' speech from the 1976 film Network.

gollark: Apparently mobile towers have their own backup generators.

gollark: I'd assume the power grid is quite redundant, but it's entirely possible that the control/balancing systems are awful.
gollark: Perhaps. You would probably need impractical quantities of arsenic.
gollark: Legally, our neural scans are not considered slaves.
