Mill Food Recycler Sponsor Read
At 20:00 · chapter starts 11:10
Leo Laporte transitions to a Mill food recycler sponsorship segment that feels more like a product review than an ad: he pulls up the Mill app live on air and shows the panel that his household has kept 413 pounds of food waste out of landfills since purchasing the device in October. The conversation quickly becomes a genuine panel discussion as Sam Abuelsamid reveals he has been composting for 30 years using a 55-gallon tumbler composter, and Molly White discusses the challenges of home composting for city dwellers. Leo explains that Mill quietly dehydrates and stirs food scraps overnight, reducing them to coffee-ground-like material that can be used in gardens or returned to Mill for small farm use. The segment includes practical tips — tea bag strings jam the stirrer, coffee grounds are fine, and even chicken bones can go in — before Leo wraps with the offer: $75 off at mill.com/twit with code TWIT.
The new generation of rockets from SpaceX and Blue Origin all use methane engines, which are not only burning greenhouse gases at launch but are continuously boiling off liquid methane during pad operations. Sam Abuelsamid points out that Elon Musk also powers his data centers with methane, creating a concerning pattern of methane dependency across his empire.
